IT'S FINALLY HERE!!

TWILIGHT has FINALLY hit theaters! 1 year ago was when we had our first book club to discuss Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. When I found out that they were making a movie shortly after I read all 3 of the books, I became interested, or as Heber would put it, "Obsessed", with finding out all the details of the movie, like who was directing it, who was going to play Bella and Edward and all the rest of the characters. I joined the website called twilightmoms.com, and then found that through them I could get all the newest updates about the movie, Stephenie Meyer, and the cast of Twilight. So every day for a whole year, I have checked their website to get my "Twilight fix". Sounds a little obsessed? I suppose, but I garuntee that there are other fans of the movie who are MORE "obsessed" than I am. Here's a couple of examples.. There were fans who drove 20+ hours to the Twilght movie set in Oregon and Washington. Have I done that? NO, would I have done that if the oportunity presented itself? Maybe. Another example of people being more obsessed than myself is, people getting tatoos of quotes from the book or their own quotes, and women who were naming their new babies after a character in Twilight. First, I don't have tattoos, nor would I ever get one of anything! Second, even though I like the name Bella, My better half would have his say in the matter, and that would be a resounding NO. So there you have it. I am not ashamed to admit that I'm a little "obsessed" about the Twilght movie. I liked the movie, despite a few things that could have been better. Yes I was one of the screaming girls in the theater. :) I am even more excited about the New Moon coming out because I know that they will have a MUCH bigger budget to work with and it will be even better than Twilight. Here are some pictures of our trip to the midnight showing of Twilight. :)Whitney... I caught her off gaurd. LOL!
Kirsten's fabulous belly with the perfect phrase. :)
This is my attempt at getting a picture of the line we were in. I didn't want to go out into the middle of it and attempt another picture.. these people gave me a look like "did you just take my picture without my permission?" Then I had to explain what I was doing and then they were cool with it.
This is part of our group sitting on the floor while waiting for our line to move. We got there around 10pm. Thank goodness we didn't get there any later. 4 more people were added to our group later. Making a total of 10.
Mari and I, the two most enthusiastic about the Twilght movie. :) Well, when it came close to the movie coming out, more of our friends came "out of the closet" with their enthusiasm about the movie. :)
Whitney and I
Mari and Kristi (her shirt says, "My husband wishes he was a vampire)
Kristi and I.. Thanks for making our shirts Kristi! And thank you Heber for helping me come up with a logo for my shirt. (Edward for President) I got a few reactions to my shirt. :) good ones.
Whitney's phrase on her shirt. too cute.

The saddest thing to hear.....

Today Ethan came up the stairs crying.  I asked him what was wrong and he said that his tooth was hurting.  I gave him some motrin and then I put some ambesol gel on his tooth.  5 minutes later, he started crying harder and louder and saying that his tooth is hurting really bad.  I told him that the medicine should start working in 15 minutes.  Ethan continued to agonize in pain.  Heber came upstairs and asked Ethan if he had said a prayer and Ethan said yes.  Heber told him to get in the shower because it will help him feel better, so he did.  While I was sitting here at the computer, Ethan was in the shower crying some more, then I hear him crying out loud " Heavenly Father, Please make it stop!"  And then " Heavenly Father, PLEASE, I'm begging you!"  It was the saddest thing to hear my son cry out to Heavenly Father to help his pain go away.  5 minutes passed, and he stopped crying.  Something funny to end this sad story is that While Ethan was in the shower he was saying " Why do we have cavities!", " I wish there wasn't such a thing!"  LOL!  I remember having a serious toothache, it made me want to smash my head against the wall over and over! Some how I thought that might make the pain go away.  LOL!

My little helpers

    I wish I could say that this is what it's like every night at my house.... But it's not. :)  I really SHOULD have them help like this every night while they are at the age where they are willing to do it without a fuss. :)  They did do this a few nights in a  row which was a GREAT help to me.  This was a Sunday night. Heber and the boys helped clean the kitchen, which was so nice. :)  Ethan did a great job putting the dishes away in the right spots and Dallin did a great job doing the dishes. :) Thanks boys. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!  

Lacey & the girls come to visit

Lacey and the girls came to visit us the week before Halloween.  Ryan went out of town for business, and so they came to Kansas to visit us while he was gone.  The time flew by so fast while they were here!  You know the saying "Time flies by while your having fun".  Well, we  had a lot of fun!  

I was trying to get Eva to smile, and every time she did, she would put her hands in her face. :)
I put this bow in her hair. :)  I couldn't help it. 
Aubrey LOVED Bella, but Bella did NOT love Aubrey for some reason. 
Lacey says that Owen looks like Moguely from the Jungle book. :)  
Playing rough. :)  Aubrey sure is a tough girl.  She can hold her own while playing with Owen
I love the look on her face!
Tarzan meets Jane.  
Funny kids. :)

F-R-U-S-T-R-A-T-E-D !

I have attempted like 4 times to get pictures posted up, and every time I attatch the pictures I want and push the upload button, I sit and wait......and wait.... and wait..... and wait some more.....until it's been like 20 minutes! And then I just have to close the window and try again, and after the second time I try doing it, and there's still no success, I just give up! And then I wait like another week before I try again! AHHH!! What in the world could be the problem?!! Our internet connection isn't slow, and I closed down any windows that were left open! Does anyone else have this problem??? I sware I'm gonna be bald by the time I try again and it ends up failing again, because I'll have pulled out all of my hair! Can you tell I'm a little steamed about this? LOL!

Our new baby boy!

GOTCHA! MADE YA LOOK! I was looking at a friends blog, and found out about the Volks Wagon website, which has this fun feature of letting you download a picture of you and your spouse, then they will mix the features together and show you what your child might look like. :) So I thought I'd see if they were even slightly close to what any of our boys look like. Tell me what you think? And check it out for yourself.
