Our Twilight Night!! (dang it..Jill beat me!)

I wanted to be the first to share with everyone about our Twilight night, but Jill is just too fast! haha We had such a great time last night. The movie was awesome, I was swooning the entire time! But what made the night so great was all the wonderful ladies that went with me. Enjoy the slideshow girls! (reminder: if the slideshow doesn't load right away, refresh the page)

Here are a few of my favorite scenes from the movie:
Edward and Bella together at school

The baseball scene





When Edward shows up in Port Angeles




The Kiss


... of course The Prom!


I also have to say I loved Jacob, he was so cute!


Jasper and Emmett were pretty easy on the eyes too!



The flashbacks were really cool too

I thought the one where they were in La Push the first time around in there Old Time clothes was really cool but I couldn't find a pic :(

Well obviously I loved many things about the movie and could go on and on, but I will spare you my endless swooning! It was a great time with some great ladies! Thanks girls for coming with me!!

Brooklyn's 1st Birthday

Our sweet little princess turned 1 yesterday. I can't believe how fast time flies, it seems like just last week I was still in the hospital with her. I know she looks like she could be 2 yrs old because of how big she is, but she's still my little baby girl and I can't believe she's a year old! She has such a beautiful glow about her, always smiling and so happy! We love her that's for sure! Here are some pictures from her Birthday.

(If the slideshow doesn't come up after a minute, refresh the screen, usually that will get it going)

Twilight on the cover of Entertainment Weekly

I'm thanking myself for subscribing to Entertainment Weekly all those months ago, because this Friday's issue made it all worth it! Twilight was on the cover (and it was a GOOD cover this time!) with interviews with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart and an article about the hopeful success of the movie. Here are the pictures that accompanied the issue.

Here are the links to the articles in case you haven't already run out and bought the issue for yourself :)

Our First Big Snowfall

We woke up this morning to about 6 inches of snow and still falling. The first real snowfall is always exciting, especially for Tyler and Spencer. For them it means snowball fights, snow angels and building snowmen (although today I found out that Spencer doesn't really know how to make a snowman??? I'm gonna have to have Blake get out there and show him what's what!)
For me though it means Blake taking the van and leaving me stranded because there was no way I was letting him drive his scooter in the snow (he's crazy enough that he just might have tried) and his busted up lincoln wouldn't start (tell me again why that piece is still sitting in our driveway??) It also means freezing my buns off while the kids run around gleefully in the snow. It's worth it though to see how happy they are :)
Don't let me fool you, I really am excited for winter. There's something about snow that makes me feel all warm and cozy inside and puts me right in the holiday spirit. Christmas here we come!


(my camera battery died so I only got the 2 pictures and I didn't even get one with Tyler looking :( I'm not worried though, because I'm sure I'll have plenty of chances if this winter is anything like the last!)

Happy Halloween :)

We had such a blast this year for Halloween. Spencer dressed up as Indiana Jones, Tyler as Spiderman and Brooklyn a big puffy pumpkin. We did so many fun things, here are some of the final pictures from all our Halloween festivities.
