Black Friday...Yippee!!



As tradition calls...I went shopping at 4 am with my girlie friends. Jill, Tiffany, myself, and my sis'in'law Andrea; we all ran around town shopping for the items we had put on our lists just a few hours earlier. It was hilarious watching my van go from empty to packed in a matter of hours, (we even had the back seat down). It was exciting to have it packed with Holiday gifts and goodies! I think Wal-mart was the craziest in terms of frenzied people. People were screaming, and for once I wasn't the person doing the screaming, hahahahahaha. (I'm kinda loud, or so I'm told. hahahahaha)
Hit up Target, Toys'R'Us, Michaels', Shopko, and Fred Meyer. And don't forget Wal-mart. Thanks to Jill most of us got a couple $8 super cute coats.

Later I went to another showing of Twilight, I know, I know, I'm an addict. I went with Tiffany, and we met Amanda, Annette, and Annette's Sis'in'law, I think, and I believe her name was Brooke as well. I didn't get to chat much with her seeng as how we were in the movie theater and on opposite sides. I hoped the 2nd showing would be better than the first. Now that I knew what to expect, I felt I could watch it as if I hadn't read the book. I ended up liking it a lot more than I did the first go round, but still, there were a couple parts that were just too darn cheesy. I laughed out loud. However, I'm still an addict and will end up buying the movie in the end. Ugh! What a crazy broad I am sometimes!

Hair Cut





As I was making some Holiday food for turkey day, I realized that I hadn't heard Layken for a little while. So I called out to her and asked what she was doing. Her reply was, "I don't know." As a parent this sets off every red flag in the book. I ran to her bedroom, the door was shut and when I opened the door the light was off. I noticed that she had taken off her shirt which isn't anything unusual if you know the kid. I then noticed that there were little pieces of fabric strewn across the carpet. In her hand was a pair of scissors, and in the other was her shredded shirt. As I proceeded to get angry I noticed that there was something funny on the floor so I turned on the light. It turned out to be lot's and lot's of Layken 's hair that she had cut off minutes before my arrival. Now the kid has a mullet. Professional in the front and party in the back 24/7. Yeehaw! Hope you enjoy the pics! hahahahahahaha This is the 2nd time she's done this, the first was over at g-ma Mary's house. Shame Shame.

Twilight Movie




I went to see the movie that I have been anticipating for quite some time now. I tried not to get too pumped for it, in case it stunk, but I couldn't help getting kinda pumped, ha ha! I have to admit I was a bit let down. I really thought the graphics and attention to detail were quite lacking. I want to re-read the book again, but I hesitate because, my hubby would tell you that I become consumed when I read it. Nothing else matters. As this is not completely true but would be accurate if he left out the nothing else matters part. I mean I throw my kids some crackers every now and then! hahahahahahaha I think I'll have to see it again to make my final decision on the flick, but my initial instinct was to reject it! I didn't like the 1st Harry Potter flick either. A movie cannot compare to the book. Dang it. I'm all up for 5 hour flick if it will follow the book exactly! hahahahahhahaha

Tribute


My all time favorite Christmas movie and perhaps one of my top favorite movies ever...The Christmas Story. I just got my Leg Lamp today and had to put it up...ya, this bad boy is going to shine forth from now until after New Year's sometime. "The soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window." My window. hahahahahha I just have to figure out how it can be done without the kids breaking it, so for now it's in my entry.

PS



I'm a brunette again, think I should go darker though, at least for a lil while until I get bored and what something different.
We also moved. From the red brick house to the wood sided home. We're neighbors with a lot of fun people! I couldn't find a pic of the house finished so you'll notice the trim isn't finished,but for those of you who have asked, here ya go!

I turned 29



And let me just say, I love it! I love my b-day! I don't care how old I get, how wrinkled, how saggy I become, I love my b-day. I can't understand it, people seem to freak out by age, I embrace it! I love life, and with age comes wisdom. So throw at me all the wrinkles, and all the saggy skin world, because I will always love my b-day!
We had a great time this year. Went to Phuket Thai, my fav restaurant, and all the people who came made the night so wonderful! It was so much fun! Sunday, on my actual b-day my GF, Tiffany, made me dinner which was wonderful , and my other GF made me 3 homemade banana creme pies. They were so good! Thank you girls for making my b-day special!

My Fuzzy


He's all dressed up in his Christmas outfit. I was just trying it on to make sure it all fit and couldn't help but take this photo of him wearing his hat. He reminds me of my dad in this pic, not sure why? Perhaps it' the hat.

Halloween! ooooowwww!



Went around our new neighborhood trick or treating. The Allen and Parrish kids went Trick or Treating with our kids. They were all so cute! Dallas stayed home and worked on getting our attic completed so we could get the cars in the garage. It's getting cold out! we didn't have a s many trick or treaters come to the house as I had hoped. So we got stuck with a TON of candy. Good thing I bought the good stuff, eh? Layken was a monkey, Aspen was 50's girl, and Easton was the fat chicken because he was still to small to fit in the next size up costume. My parents were here and manned, (I don't believe this is a real word.), the candy for me while I was out and about.

Pumpkin Patch



Went to the pumpkin patch with the Allen's, went on a hay ride to seek out the best pumpkin's from the pumpkin patch. We got 5 pumpkins, and mine was the biggest. I like the big ones! "That's what she said!" hahahahahha, (Office, sorry, couldn't help myself.) Had A LOT of kettle korn and had fun looking at the animals. There was a bit too much dust floating around though. You can actually see the dust particles in our family shot. Later went to Terry's 30th unsurprise b-day party. Terry you're a stinker!

The DOL

I got up and got ready this morning because I realized that my license was expired by a week. After getting teased by my good friend Terry, he realized his license was expired as well, by a month! hahahahaha, Needless to say Terry and I made our way to the Do this morning feeling pretty darn good that by leaving 15 minutes before it opened was gonna give us ample time to get a jump start on the line. I think both of our mouths were hanging somewhere near the floor when we arrived 5 minutes early and saw that the line I had invisioned to be small was in fact, LONG. But we trudged out of the "Big Daddy" truck and got in line. I was number 16 and Terry was 17. We weren't sure how long we were gonna have to sit on those plastic chairs and I was REALLY hoping for a new photo! In the end, after a lot of BSing, we only had to wait for 40 minutes and we both got new pics, although Terry's looks identical to his old pic...seriously, what was the point of re-taking it! hahahahhahaha
PS My photo is a 10. I look HOT! hahhahahhaha, no seriously, I do! hahahhahahhaha
