Trip to the Zoo

Aiden riding the new Carousel. He wanted to ride it again and again, but at $2 a ride, once was enough for my wallet! Believe it or not Owen was there too, but Jon and I only took these 3 pictures, the whole time!! We all had such a good time. It was nice to get out of the house and spend some time together as a family. Our favorite part I think was watching the elephant show. They have trained the elephants to kick a soccer ball, pick up recycling, and know the difference between trash and recyclables! Amazing, if the elephants can recycle then so can everyone else! Owen and Aiden laughed when the elephant was kicking the soccer ball, they thought it was really cool. And the tiger is one of my favorites, I can't believe how close we got. It was really cool!

Sarah's 50th Bday Bash

Jon was trying to be cool, and show us all a "bar trick". He was going to use a dollar bill as a bottle opener. Didn't go over too well, actually, so he ended up using a real bottle opener. So much for the cool bar trick, honey.









Below we have Jon and my brother Brandon, who got ambushed by a bunch of little kids with water balloons. You can't really tell, but they were pretty soaked.













Brandon and I trying to wrestle in the kids bouncy castle. I say trying cause we weren't very successful at taking each other down. The kids got bored waiting for us so they jumped in to help. Then our sister Amber joined us, so we had 3 adults, and 3 kids altogether. It was crazy for a minute, but really fun.

Randomness

Here's just a couple random pics of my silly boys. My wonderful mom-in-law bought those adorable overalls for Owen and this was the first time he wore them. He looks so cute! And then Aiden felt left out, so I snapped him making some weird face. He could look absolutely normal, but the second I pull out my camera he starts making weird faces, he's such a little dork!

10 Year Reunion

K- So I'm a little late posting all these, but better late than never. This is of me, Deseree, and Lois. Aren't we beautiful?!! It was sooooooooo much fun getting dressed up and going out with my girls again! The 3 of us hadn't been together since my wedding, which was 7 years ago! The reunion itself blew huge chunks, but it was fun to see a few people. They basically all looked the same, and acted the same! I was like, duh totally grow up already. Oh well, after the reunion was the funnest. The 3 of us went to Dee's, our old high school hang out. It was great to chat about old times together. Love ya girls!!

TWILIGHT UPDATE

So Stephenie Meyer was in the process of writing Midnight Sun, which for those of you who don't know is a version of Twilight, written in Edwards perspective instead of Bella's. She had posted an unfinished rough draft of the first chapter on her website. It was amazing! Even better than the original Twilight. Well some (excuse my language here) asshole decided to leak what she had written so far, and now she is saying that she has put the project on hold indefinitely. She says that she know who leaked it, and is too upset to even think of finishing it now. Meaning it was probably someone close to her! Stupid jerk, couldn't wait until she finished it to see what happens. Now its ruined forever, and we'll never know. As you can tell, I am very pissed off about this new development. I was hoping in the future she will change her mind, and finish it. But then I found out that instead of having her fans get the unifinished version illegally, she has posted it on her website to read. I for one am not going to do so, because now knowing it will never be finished, I can not read it knowing that fact. I was really looking forward to Midnight Sun, even more so than Twilight, because it was soooooo much better. Damnit!!!!!

P.S. I am sorry if any of my swearing offends anyone, but I am really pissed off!!

Twilight Countdown

So I updated my Twilight Movie countdown widget. It is now at the bottom of the page along with the trailer. I found it all by myself and copied and pasted all by myself too. No help from J.J. this time! Ya, I'm getting pretty good at this computer stuff. So I'm curious if any of you are as addicted to the books as I am, so I will be posting a questionnaire of sorts to see how long it took you to read Breaking Dawn, and how many times you've read the whole series. My hope is that some of you are worse than me, and Jon won't think I'm such a dork.

Update

So I haven't posted any new pictures for awhile, because well my camera is broken, and I haven't been able to take any new pics in awhile. Also I've been kinda lazy and don't want to download any right now. But I thought I would at least tell ya whats been going on in our lives lately. Jon has started the tedious process of applying to pharmacy schools, yet again. I'm excited, but nervous. Excited because this is his best year so far to apply. Nervous because there are only 3 schools west of the Mississippi river that he is applying to. So chances are we'd be moving to the east coast. But I we'll do what we must when the time comes. I just really hope he gets in this time. He deserves it more than anyone I know. Then yesterday I did a garage sale with my friend (well actually more like my second family) Rachael and her family. That was lots of fun!! Of course any time hanging out with the Spicer's is fun! They definitely keep things interesting!! So I'd better stop here, being that its Sunday, I have to clean/do laundry/etc. And Aiden starts pre-school in a few days so I have to get ready for that as well. Have a happy week everyone!!!

I'm Found!!

Even though I was never really lost, as Jon says, I have to admit I have been a little addicted to the Twilight series. After the release of Breaking Dawn (which I had read in 2 days), I decided to re-read the entire series again. I am now 1/2 way through book 2 (Jacob) of Breaking Dawn. I have become a pretty speedy reader! But I also have had weddings, birthdays, a camping trip, and a 10 year reunion to occupy my time the past few weeks. So don't let Jon fool you into thinking that I have abandoned my family! I'm sorry I haven't been posting lately, but I will rectify that soon.

Also, if she is in the middle of a chapter, it's probably best to wait until the section before you interrupt her, trust me.

Twilight Trailer
