TWILIGHT

So went to see Twilight last night... it was really good if you read the book. I don't know how much I would've liked it if I didn't know the back story on the characters. The picture is from left to right Rebecca, Andrea, Valerie, Dawn, Deanna, Alison, Jessica, Sarah, Me, and Wendy. All but 4 our the teachers from the kids school. I will post more pics later, Rebecca took tons so we could scrap them. And there is a great story behind it all... We got our tickets when they first were available but we did something more...we paid to have a birthday party there. Basically you pay a little more and you have to have at least 8 people. We did this for Maddy's party and it was great. You get in 45 minutes before the movie and you get a little popcorn tray with a drink. Well that almost started a riot!! We got there at 6:30ish and the movie started at 7:30. There was a huge long line to get in and the first probably 10 people had been waiting 3 hours to see the movie, yes you read right they had been waiting in line for 3 hours. Needless to say they were not happy with us when we came strolling up and walked right in. We told the staff they had to be our body guards cuz we were going to get stuff thrown at us. Nothing happened but it made for a great story!!! The really funny thing was when everyone got to come in it was like Christmas morning, they were running everywhere and lots and lots of giggles! Throughout the whole show there were lots of giggles. Just really showed how young the crowd was. We weren't the only ones to dress for the night, there were lots of homemade shirts and ones that were purchased. It was crazy. I have never seen anything like the fans for Twilight, and yep I am one of them " ) Stephanie Meyer even did a cameo, just like Stephen King and M. Night Shyamalan, didn't speak but you saw her. So when I get more pics from Rebecca I will post them.

Since we read last...

Hi all! I know I am really not doing this as often as I should but "it's all good" So what has been going on in the past month, the better question is what haven't we been doing!!! I think things are finally slowing down a bit for me and my family. Well at least for a week or so " ) Since last time we had Maddy's 9th party, we went to see High School Musical 3 and it was AWESOME!! Ok yep you guessed it I am a total fan!! Not gonna lie. I love musicals and this is a really great one! After the movie I took Maddy, Wyatt and Lidia to a Pumpkin Patch in Citrus Heights. It's a cute little one with lots of things to do. We spent the entire afternoon there, I was tired!! When we got home the kids begged me to paint their pumpkins. So I thought ok we will do that instead of carving them, I was all for that! Yep that didn't happen! After they painted them they wanted to carve them! It was fun and totally worth the faces they made as they pulled out the "guts" of the pumpkin. And of course we made pumpkin seeds, way to yummy! Then it was Halloween. Every year we go to my sister's house in Folsom, it's a little hard to trick or treat in rice fields. Anyhoot the kids always get a ton of candy, it's crazy. My sister was dressed up as Wonder Woman, it was great! Lidia and Quintin (Lidia's brother) go with us to. On to November... the long awaited birth of HARLEE, wasn't very easy for mom but all is well and she is beautiful!! So on that note I would like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my cousin Josh (23) (who is getting married on Sunday, it's about damn time, love you!), my niece Carrie (7), my niece Georgia (9) and my mother in law Marie (I am so not saying her age). For 4H we had our big fundraiser breakfast, which I was in charge of. I get to brag it turned out awesome, we made a lot of money for the club! I couldn't have pulled it off with out a lot of help from the parents in our club who not only donated items but their time and the kids who served the meals. I was very proud of our club that day!! SO next year if you are in the area you should stop by, it's yummy food!! And you get huge portions!! It's always held on the opening day of Pheasant Season. The kids also had Family Art Night at their school, it was funded by our GATE program and ran by our Art teacher, Erin. She also happens to be our babysitter, that is if we ever went any where. She does lots for the school and she is only 19. We just love her to death! She also helped me out with our 4H breakfast. The pic with Maddy and Erin at the breakfast also has Miss Preslie in it. She is such a cutie! So that is the catch up for the month. I am really excited tomorrow night is TWILIGHT!! I am sure I will have pics from that " ) there is a big ol group that is going. Til next time... Have a great one!!
