Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. In honor of today I thought I would write a few things that I am thankful for.

1. Owen making it through everything
2. My husband and children, who are my life
3. My job
4. Living in a free country
5. My health

These probably sound like really general things, but honestly I am grateful for everyone single one of them. I hope everyone today can remember what they are thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!

Twilight Movie News!!!!

The film's $35 million-plus Friday gross was impressive enough to spur a press release Saturday trumpeting plans for the "Twilight" sequel "New Moon," based on the second in Meyer's series of best-sellers. "Twilight" scribe Melissa Rosenberg has already been working on scripts for potential sequels based on "Moon" and the third book in the series, "Eclipse."

Summit execs were huddling Sunday in an attempt to pin down release plans for "Moon," which may unspool by late 2009 but also could get a 2010 date.



Yeah Baby!!!!! Wootastic!!!

The Utes Rule!!!!!!

Yeah baby! The Utes kicked the Y's butt!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 48 to 24! Woo Hoo!

Twilight Movie

I went and saw Twilight the movie at midnight last night with Kathie(my sister-in-law), and Wendy and Carrie(from work). The movie was better than I expected. I had kept telling myself that it wasn't going to be anything like the book, but I was surprised that a lot of the stuff they actually got right. There were a couple things I would have changed, and I would have definitely made it longer. It was 2 hrs, but even at that length it felt squished. Like the director was in a hurry to tell the story. But all in all, I will see it again. Robert Pattinson was AMAZING! OMG!! I bought a Twilight T-shirt with his pic as Edward on it that I wore to the movie last night. And I am still currently wearing it. It is so beautiful I don't want to take it off. I know I'm a dork! Anyone who wants to see it let me know, I want to go again!

Tarzan?

My nephews came over to play last night, and thought it would be cool to take their shirts off and run around yelling like Tarzan. It was so cute, then they all got up onto my window seat bench and posed for these really cute pictures. They all have so much fun when they get together.

Sushi night!

Friday night we went to my friend Lois's house for Sushi night. Jon taught about 12 people how to make their own sushi. It was a lot of fun, and we also played Rock Band til about 1:30am. The pictures above are of the sushi that Jon made for he and I. It was so yummy!! If anyone ever wants how to make Sushi, Jon is an excellent teacher.

Well Hello Gorgeous!

GO OBAMA!!!

Tim Burton & Helena Bonham Carter

My brother's idol is Tim Burton. So for Halloween he and his wife Kathie dressed up as him, and Tim's partner, Helena Bonham Carter. I think it looks AWESOME!!!

Halloween

Aiden was Bumblebee (the Transformer). Owen was (or should I say is a monkey). This was Aiden's favorite costume so far. He loved it so much he wore it 2 days before Halloween. Then again the day before for my family's Halloween party at my brother's house. Then on Halloween, and finally the day after Halloween. Today I put the costume in the dirty clothes. And hopefully will be able to put it away for the rest of the year.

Here is all my nephews and Aiden & Owen. From left to right is My sister Amber with Christian (Steelers fan), Gabriel (Sturgis dude), Spencer (Anakin Skywalker), Chandler (Obi Wan Kan Nobi), Owen (monkey), and Aiden (Bumblebee). 6 boys under 5 years old. Whoa!!!

Carving Pumpkins

Carving pumpkins. The top one is Jon's emoticon, next my smiley face, Aiden's pirate, then Owen's spiderweb & spider.

Owen helping out. Not really but he thought that he was being a big helper. It was the fisrt year we've carved pumpkins with the boys. Aiden was so antsy the whole time, it was kind of irritating. By the time we finished I had a blister on my finger. I never realized how much work goes into carving pumpkins. I'm not really a big fan. But the boys had fun, so it was worth it. Messy, but worth it.

Black Island Farms

We went to Black Island Farms last Saturday. It was the first time we had been there. It was so much fun I think we will make that a yearly tradition. Aiden, Owen, and I rode on the train, while daddy took pictures. There was so much to do there. First Aiden wanted to go down all the slides, then we went through the corn maze. Aiden directed us through the corn maze all by himself. We didn't help at all. I'm glad he got Jon's sense of direction and not mine. We would have been in the maze forever if it was up to me. Next we took a hayride out to the pumpkin patches. We all got to pick out a pumpkin. It was a great family outing, and such a beautiful day. I really enjoyed spending the day with my family.
