TWILIGHT GEEKS

Okay, so we may be geeks but we had a good time. A bunch of us girls got together the night of the Grand Twilight Premier and went to Applebee's for dessert at 9:30 and then to the Midnight showing! This is half the group there were 20 or more of us. It was a lot of fun!!

We all had shirts made that said "Bite Me" on the front and "team Edward" or "team Jacob" on the back. They were a huge hit.

This late night movie made all of us realize that after marriage and kids staying up late is a little more difficult. We did all that we could to pass the time while we waited the hour for the movie to start.

After all that, the critics say, "The book is better"!

TAG


Okay so this took me a bit to figure out! I know, not too surprising! I guess I am supposed to go into my fourth folder and post the fourth picture. This could be scary what picture it is. WOW! That is a fabulous picture. One worth hanging on to.


Okay, so now it is Lisa, Brandy, and Aubrey's turn. Have fun!

Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween. The kids had so much fun going to parties and trick-or-treating. Conveniently Halloween was the same weekend as my sister's baby's blessing so we were able to go to Star Valley for the grand event. In Star Valley they do a trunk-or-treat to make it easier for the children, so the kids got hooked up with candy. It is a good thing we left it in SV or I would be continually picking at it all day.

The kids trick-or-treating to Grandma Burr Door!

Jaycie kept saying she wanted to be a puppy for Halloween. We looked everywhere for a puppy costume and couldn't find one. A friend gave us this Elephant costume so I just told Jaycie it was a puppy. (Terrible mom moment) I would ask her what a puppy says and she would lift her trunk and make the elephant noise. I have ruined her for life! So innocent!!

Brayden was our Ninja Turtle. This is him showing us his Ninja Moves!!!

The grand pumpkin carving! We weren't so creative this year.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Out numbered!!

We now officially have two kids, two dogs and a kitten. What happened? Brayden got a kitten for Christmas last year, within about two weeks the kitten had ran away. We searched and searched, Brayden was pretty upset. Since then, he hasn't stopped asking for another kitten. The other day Brayden came walking out of his bedroom with his piggy bank in hand and said, "Mom, can I use my birthday money to buy a kitty!" Oh, how sweet! So I told him I would look around to see if I could find one. I looked and looked for free kittens and with much excitement I could not find any. So I told Brayden there wasn't any kitties right now, but that I would keep looking. He then said, "Mom, lets go to the pet store, they will have one." To smart for his own good. So we ended up taking him too the pet store, with his piggy bank in his hand he found the kitty he wanted he even put the piggy bank up on the counter to buy the kitty. It was adorable. Hard to say no!!

As for the two dog issue. As some of you know, we haven't had much luck with dogs. Our first lab Koda died of a terrible sickness one day before hunting season. Our second dog Missy that Nick got from the pound turned out too be a mutt that cant hunt and as Nick says, "serves no purpose". The third dog was also a lab but died from an unfortunate car accident one month before hunting season. And now even after much refusing from the wife we have a 5 month old German shorthair puppy that Nick swears will make it through hunting season. Don't get me wrong, I like dogs it is just too much heartache when one dies. Now the neighbors get to listen to a puppy bark all day and me yell at her over and over again to be quiet and stop digging.
