twilight fans!

So we did it, we attempted Twilight on opening weekend (mind you we got our tickets on tues.) The bunco girls group all decided to go we stood in line for an hour and still ended up in the crap seats in the front. The movie was still great and Edward totally grows on you he seemed to get more like the character i protrayed him to be as the movie went on. If you havent seen it yet go with no expectations. We all dedided that books are always better and came out really enjoying the movie. I have decided to start reading again from book one and to read it a little faster this time so i can get to four. Yes, i haven't read four yet but i hear it is the best.

called to serve!

We went up to the in-laws home tonight to watch Nic (eric's little bro.) open his mission call. He just seems to little to be going on a mission i still look at him as though he is in the 6th grade (much more handsome now) He is going to the culiacan, mexico mission its on the west coast. We are all excited for him. He is such a great example to my kids and they really REALLY love him. good luck mongoose!!!

Happy Birthday Payton!!!

Payton is turning the big eight on the 20th i can't believe it has been eight years already. From day one he knew what he wanted and tried to get it well nothing has changed if he puts his mind to it or decides he wants something, before you know it- its done. He is so fun to have around the house and tells amazing stories from his imagination. And for the help he is my biggest a little compulsive about things (where does he get that from???) but at least it gets done whether i want it to or not. i am so excited for him this year and can't believe how much he grows everyday. i love him and am so proud if him! Happy Birthday buddy- I love you!

Halloween

Gardner Village

Halloween

Halloween was great this year. The kids were out of school so we held our 3rd annual costume party for the kids during the day and we seriously had 22 kids here it was a little scary. We played pumpkin bowling, candy corn races, decorated cupcakes and eat pizza then sent all the kids home. Later we did our family hot dog cookout before trick or treating. My parents, when i was growing up did a party before trick or treating so i thought i would continue it and so far it has been so fun. We invite all and we roast hot dogs, drink home made root beer and eat our selves silly before heading off to trick or treat. Tradition is great! Happy Halloween to all!!!
