I saw the movie!!!

The coolest thing happened last night! My cousin owns a movie theater and invited us to come and watch a pre-screaning of the Twilight movie. She had called mine and Misty's husbands and said to surprise us. So Mike said a couple days ago to not plan anything for Wednesday because he and Todd were taking Misty and I to dinner. I thought... huh... in the middle of the week, on a school night? But I went with it. To our surprise, they were driving us an hour and a half away to see the movie a day early! I really couldn't believe it!

Anyway, it was a great night and I appreciate Molly so much for being so thoughtful and letting us come spend this cool night with her!

****To all that are wondering what I thought.... I figured I wouldn't say anything positive or negative about the movie. That way you all can just see for yourself tonight. Don't worry, I'll chime in with the rest of you tomorrow! :****

Can't Wait!

Tonight I get to go to the T.I. concert... and I can't wait! My brother got his wife, Tiffany and me tickets! (Mine is a belated b-day gift) Isn't he awesome?!

Well have a great weekend and remember.... YOU CAN HAVE WHATEVER YOU LIKE....

Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for...

Books. I am shocked and appalled at myself for not enjoying books more through my life until now. One of my favorite things is to curl up on the couch with a comfy blanket (after the boys go to bed) and just read. It lets me go somewhere else that has nothing to do with the worries and stress in my life. And who doesn't love that?!

My dishwasher. I love it when I put dishes in that I should have rinsed better, and they still come out shiny and spotless.

Lowered gas prices. I obviously don't need to explain this one. It speaks for it's self!

My Kitchen Aid mixer. It does the coolest stuff and makes everything turn out fabulous!

My husband and boys. They are the greatest things in my life. No matter what else is going on (good or bad), I can count on them to always support and love me. I am truly blessed to have them in my life!

More Halloween pics...

Just thought I'd post a few more Halloween pics from Halloween night. Mike had a great time scaring the crap out of little kids that came to the door, so that was good.... And, Hayden got to hang out with all his buddies and got tons of candy (that he gave all away). Wyatt was too cool and we didn't see him all night long. :(
Of course they had to come straight home and compare how much loot they got

Harlee, Gavin, Hayden and Alec
Funny, funny Hayden

Go Spartans!

My husband, Mike was the photographer for our 7th grade team, because there weren't any professional pics scheduled. I think considering the rush, they turned out really good. And, I know I'm totally biased, but I think my son is so dang cute! :)

Thankful Thursday

i am thankful october is over.

Great Big Sea

Mike and I, and Todd and Misty all went to see a Newfoundland band - Great Big Sea a couple weekends ago. It was so much fun! I always love to take part in anything that has to do with my "Newfie" roots. They came to Salt Lake, so we had to go!

We sat on the 4th row and lucky for us, this guys was sitting right in front of us. We couldn't tell for sure if that was his butt crack because it was kind of dark, so Misty decided to take a picture - with flash - to see for sure. Quite attractive wouldn't you say?
Me and my sis... and we actually look like we're related in this!
Misty, me, Todd and Mike. Yeah, yeah, we're not sitting by our spouses. Misty and I wanted to sit by each other. What's wrong with that??? :)

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

I want to wish my mom a very happy birthday today! She's a saint. She's been there for me through thick and thin, and I appreciate all she does for me and my family! She's also an amazing grandma. I love her so much and hope she has a really great day!

Misty hosted a birthday party for her on Sunday. It was a lot of fun. Nadine made her favorite german chocolate cake.

Wyatt and Bryan with their grandma. Both taller than her now... crazy!
Hayden and Brady, actin' cool and texting. Whatev.....
Me and my mommy....
Nadine and Taliece. Sorry Nadine, I had to put it on here. I think it's a good one. :)

SYTYCD TOUR

I know this was quite a while back, but I thought I'd post some pics. This night was such a blast for Mike and I. (and Patrece and Cory). Mike got tickets for me for my birthday. We were on the 9th row! It was so fun to see them all up close. I didn't get a lot of really great pics because I was mostly video taping the whole time. Oh well... you get the jist. And if you can't tell, that's Gev in the dress. He was the highlight of the show. He was putting on all kinds of crazy costumes just to be on stage with Courtney. It was hilarious!

Also, Angie left me a comment encourging all women to get out and vote tomorrow, and I'm with her! Let's show a little GIRL POWER! VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!
