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.

Missing: Wife

Missing: WIFE
Last seen reading the Twilight Series for the fourth effing time.
Answers by the name of Andie, Andrea, SexyPants, and most recently Bella.
If seen, please remind her of the loving husband and family who miss her dearly.
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.

Reward if found:
Four *almost* new "New York Best Times Bestseller" books by an author Stephanie Meyers...and my admiration.

Twilight Trailer

As per Andie's request, there is now a trailer for Twilight at the very bottom of the blog (scroll down).

Yummy Garlic Bread

So with Jon's yummy lasagna, I made yummy garlic bread. Which is one of Aiden's favorites. Aiden likes to stick the whole piece of bread up to his face and poke out the middle with his tongue and eat that first. Well as you can see from the photo on the left, that leaves a very greasy mess. But we figure, it doesn't matter how it eats it, just as long as he eats it!

Yummy Lasagna

Jon made lasagna last night for dinner, and we decided to let Owen feed it to himself. Well as you can see, the results were messy! But he absolutely loved it! (As did the rest of us, Jon makes the best lasagna in the whole world!)I think it is one of Owens favorites now.

The Magness Mob

Here are the future leaders of The Magness Mob. Old school ganstas!

So whats the deal? You guys get me addicted to blogging, now no one has updated for awhile. Whats up with that? Come on people! Nothing but love.......

MEMORY GAME!!!

Leave us a memory! It could be anything about Jon, Andrea, Aiden, or Owen! Funny, embarrassing, happy, sad...whatever you remember about us!

Here is how you play:
1. As a comment on our blog, leave one memory that we had together. It doesn't matter if you knew us a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.
It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about us, we'll assume you're playing the game and we'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, we'll leave a memory of you in our comments.

So J.J. thought it would be funny to piss me off and vote for Jacob, after my last post. Oh well I can't be too mad at him, considering he made Better than Sex Cake for me and brought it to work today! I had never had it before, omg!! , its outrageously delicious!! And outrageously bad for you! 355 calories and 13.3 grams of fat per slice! Oh well its totally worth it.

So it's good to know that you all voted for Edward! I knew I chose wise friends!!! Only 2 weeks to go til the new book!

Breaking Dawn

So I've been thinking about going to the midnight release of Breaking Dawn. Anyone who wants to come with me, let me know!!! I'm so excited, especially since Carrie emailed me the first chapter of the book! You're the best Carrie!! Now its all I can think about!! 21 days to go!!!!!! I fell like such an obsessed dork!! Oh well, who cares? I don't! I totally admit that I am addicted!! Who isn't?

Owen's favorite activity is to play with my tupperware in the kitchen. He always make a huge mess. Well a couple days ago, he had made such a big mess that no matter where he stood he was standing on top of lids and bowls. He slipped and fell right into a tupperware bowl. At first he didn't think it was too funny, but then he saw me laughing my butt off, and he decided that it was pretty funny. So I ran and grabbed my camera, and snapped this right before he pulled his chubby butt out! He's so stinkin cute!

Salute to Kathie!!!

I have to salute my Sister-in-Law Kathie!!! She is terrified of heights, and she decided this year, to risk her life and ride the Sky Coaster with Brandon and I. She was terrified and I think on the verge (if not already) of a panic attack. After a few choice words (which I never thought I would hear from her mouth) on the way up, Brandon pulled the rip cord, which he and fought over between rock-paper-scissors, and he won. It was exhilarating! And Kathie said "I want to do it again"! She was such a trooper, and I think she is so AWESOME for overcoming her fear!
