Thankful

Thanksgiving is upon us and it always makes me think of what I am thankful for in my life!! Now days...thanksgiving is just passed by. It has become sort of the forgotten holiday! I am guilty for it myself! Stores start putting up Christmas decor the second that Halloween is over! What about being thankful? Is it not enough of a money making holiday to celebrate?? So here are just some of the things that I am thankful for!! My family. Especially my husband and boys...they are my life! Money...I am thankful that my husband has a steady job and we are able to buy the things we need. Health...I am thankful for me and my families health. I have been so sick this last week with a sinus infection and bronchitis, but in the large picture with people struggling with life threatening illness such as cancer...I can't complain about a little old cold!! A home...I am thankful for a safe, warm place to live. Heavenly Father... I have no problem thanking my Heavenly Father for all of this, because without him...I would have none of it! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!

Twilight haters...look away!!!

Ok...All of you Edward haters(I was one of them!!) listen up!! I just got back from the movie and can't say enough about Rob Pattinson(sp?)!! I am in LOVE!! He did an amazing job! And Bella was perfect too! Well ....the whole movie was perfect! It totally lived up to the book! It just leaves you wanting more! Ok...I promise this is the last Twilight post I will do!lol.....until the next movie that is!

Twilight mania!!

YAY!!! It is Twilight week! I have watched the previews a million times(all of them) trying to see something new...I can't wait any longer! I started the books a few months ago after hearing SO much about them. I really thought that they weren't going to be that good, mostly because the fan base was 13 year old girls...well I thought!! Needless to say, I am hooked! I am on the 3rd book and refuse to read more. I don't want it to end. I am just taking my time! Although I do know what happens in the last book, thanks to people talking about it like everyone has read it already!haha My sis and some friends at her work got me tickets for Thursday night!! YAY! Its also an early showing! So all of you that have to wait until midnight .....naner naner naner!!! By the way...have you seen the new Instyle magazine? A huge spread on the actors! I sure hope Edward grows on me after seeing the movie! Just not in love with him...yet! I guess everyone has their own "Edward" in their head right!?

My AmAzInG sister took our family pictures today. It was much needed. We have not ONE professional picture of all 4 of us, can you believe that!! My kids rarely cooperate! They actually did amazing tonight...thanks to Lacy's bribes-"prizes"!haha Lacy is one talented girl!!

Too much TV!!

I just came to a realization that maybe we watch a little too much TV during the day. Ayden and Austyn were just playing when Ayden attempted to take a tractor away from Austyn. Austyn started screaming "swiper no swippy, swiper no swippy!!" WoW! Can you say to much Dora!!haha I didn't think we watched it THAT much!! And to make it even funnier, Aydens response was "ohhhh...it's ok sweety, I will give it back in a minute!"LOL

Friends!!

Our long time, and much missed friends came to visit us on Saturday! I have been begging them to come visit since we moved back here! Dave and Cody are like two peas in a pod! And Mind, can't say enough about her! She is the sweetest, most gorgeous girl I know! They brought their darling kids with them, so Mindy and I took the kids to the Dino museum while Dave and Cody headed out to blow some stuff up with guns and a little thing called Tannerite!! They also got a little prairie dog hunting in as well. The kids had a fun time at the museum!

Gage...the sweetest baby EvEr!!Alyssa...can't say enough about this sweet girl! The boys were SO tired after a long day with no naps! I thought this was too funny! On Sunday it was pouring rain, but we still managed to go watch Dave and Cody blow up a toilet! It was pretty cool! We had such a great time with them all, just wished they could have stayed longer!! And why didn't I get a picture of their whole family together?? Too busy I guess!! Thanks Mind, for letting me steal some pics from your blog! Can't wait until they get to come out again!! Once I can figure out how to upload the video of Dave and Cody....I will!!haha

Trick or Treat!!

The kids were actually excited to go trick or treating this year! The past couple of years they haven't been to interested, they were too young. And we lucked out that neither of them were sick this year! It always seems that one of them has been sick on Halloween!! Ayden loved his pirate costume and poor Austyn, you can see how he left the house, in a t-shirt and shorts! He wanted to be Elmo, which was Aydens costume last year. Well lets just say that my little Austyn in quite tall for his age. The Elmo costume was a 2t, should fit hu?? Nope...it didn't! He couldn't even walk let alone sit in his car seat!haha So we headed off to my cousin Camilles house to rummage through her kids past Halloween costumes! We found this darling, comfortable puppy costume and he was thrilled!! They were so funny, they would get their candy and have it eaten before we got to the next house! Can you say SuGaR RuSh??This is how poor Austyn left the house!!

He LoVeD his puppy costume! It even barked!!
