Twilight Madness

I know, I know, total NERD ALERT! Some of my fun neighbors decided to get dressed up and head over to Walmart in Riverton to get the Twilight movie. I never do stuff like this. But thanks to my gorgeous friend Kristen, we were there. Needless to say, not many people dressed up for the event. So I tried to tone it down when we got there. Amongst the insanity, we got super lucky. Arriving at 11:30, we were able to get the movie we wanted, got autographs by one of the actresses in the film and were able to bypass the huge lines to buy the movie. Luck was on our side. I ran into a friend from high school and some of our young women in the ward. It was a lot of fun. Thanks Tiffany and Kristen for a memorable evening.

My friend Ambria from school. Thanks for letting us get in with you.

Aren't we hot!

Wow! Pretty scary. LOL

Island Park 2009

As a tradition in Joel's family, they go to Island Park Idaho to go snowmobiling. Well this year we rented a cabin with some of his family and our friends. All in all it was a pretty good trip. Besides the sick puking, diarrhea children amongst us, it was fun. Unfortunately Joel's snowmobile broke down the 2nd to last day we were there. But we still had some nice rides and the weather was perfect.

the abominable pink monster!

Feeding the fish and ducks at Big Springs. They love this!

Most of our group. At times we'd have at least 15 snowmobiles. Super Fun!

Kaleb loves to eat the snow. Yuck!

Our friend Jed and his daughter TaLyn.

In the car we got bored, so I started having the kids make silly faces. They loved it.

Ooh, good one, Avree.

Girls Weekend!

So, I've always wanted to do a girls weekend. Well it finally happened. My friend Jill turned 30 this year and her husband got her some rooms up at Snowbird so she could have a girls weekend. So we packed up Thursday night and headed to the canyon. We just relaxed, ate food, talked til 1:30 in the morning, made jewelry and bows, watched movies and slept. Wow, it's been a long time since I've done whatever I wanted and didn't have to worry about kids. I highly recommend it. It's not that I don't love being with my family, but breaks are well needed. So thanks Joel for watching the kiddos for me and taking a break from work.

So silly!

Kids do the strangest things. The other day Joel and I found Kaleb in his room playing in his underwear and wearing his cowboy boots. I just thought it was so cute. My parents have a picture of my brother about the same age in his underwear, cowboy boots, and a holster with guns. Good memories.
Avree also decided to take the toilet seat with her instead of using it in the bathroom. It's a good thing they are so cute and do these silly things to remind me how fun they are. Gotta love'm.
