"UP"

the kids have been talking about seeing it for months now. and on sunday their small dream came true. my parents were nice enough to watch nataley so we could take the kids to see "UP". which, was really sad to me, but that makes it a good one!

the kids did great, and brian and i each only had to take one trip to the bathrooms.
levi finally got his request for popcorn answered (for some reason he has been asking me for it for days now).

a great family day for sure...
makes it so that i cant wait till nataley is old enough to join in the family adventures. :(

she did however get to go swimming well into the evening with us at my mom and dads house after,
so i guess she wasn't completely left out of the loop.

we ended the day (what better way) with ice cream....
a truly sweet ending to this truly sweet day!





ps....
did ya watch jon and kate plus 8 last night?
did ya?
if you did, and if you weren't paying attention to kate at the book tour part but rather searching through the faces of fans,
you may very well have caught a glimps of ME and my s-i-l kimmy with our kiddos!

yep, it's true i was on it!
i guess this means i officially "beat" my husband in the race of being seen on cable television!
and yes, this really was a race we had going!
score on for shannon! :)
