Twilight!!!

Thanks to some new great friends (Thanks Mary and Tanya!) I was able to see Twilight last night. I had been so worried that no one here had heard of Stephanie Meyers. I know now a days what good Mormon Mom doesn't know who she is!! I really did like the movie, of course the book was better, but there hasn't been a movie made that I have said anything different about. I found myself getting caught up in the movie almost as much as I got caught up in the book. So regardless of what you have heard about the movie, I say go see it! And judge for yourself! And by the way go with friends, it will make it 100 times better.

Where am I?!?!

Okay I thought for sure we had moved out of Texas, This morning we were still in South Dakota. But by 11am it was 70 degrees outside. We were warmer than Texas, and then at 3 it was almost 80, and here I thought that I wouldn't see 60 agian until at least April. And yesterday I thought we were in the North Pole. So apparently this state travels from north to south. You really haven't seen much until you see snow while it is 80 degrees outside! Yes we still have snow on the ground from that blizzard! Wild.

First Snow!

Well it is official, we have witnessed our first blizzard! I have never seen the wind blow so much!! Nor have I ever heard of a major highway being closed from one side of the state to the other!!! Well not until this week! They shut down the base, which didn't reopen until this morning! We are now so glad that we bought house, and live off base now. And there are still some on base that can't leave their driveway! I hope you like the slide shows. The boys love it. Anthony ran out of the house at 7am and we finially got him in around 12pm, for lunch, we then left for Target to get them some proper snow gear! And when we got back, he was out until 6pm. Only because it was too dark! And he was back out there this morning. He is definately a kid that likes the snow!! I on the other hand am missing the 80 degrees in Texas! And I am terrified to drive, I don't think I thought this whole thing through when we moved here!! Michael didn't even have to go to work on Thursday or Friday!!! It is going to take me a while to acclimate myself to this weather. So anyway if you think you want to leave the warm Texas sun behind, trust me this snow isn't all that it is cracked up to be!!

Pumpkin carving time!

So this year I figure, finially the boys will actively take part in carving the pumpkin. That the guts will not gross them out. Boy was I silly, they had more fun taking the pictures of me and Michael doing the carving, and getting the seeds out. Then when we told them enough pictures, they took off. To get dressed in the Halloween costume. As you can tell they were more than excited to hold the knife for the picture, as if they did anything.!!





Anthony has decided he wanted to be Indiana Jones. And Zack found a Boba Fet(?) costume. The Indiana Jones was a bit hard, given the fact I wasn't going to find a specific costume, and wasn't willing to pay 60$ for a leather Jacket. But we prevailed in the end. Can you believe we finially found something at K-Mart. I never thought i would shop there again. But it is close and it actually still had costumes!
Things have been pretty much the same old thing. Nothing too exciting. I have started teaching piano. And the boys are going to be starting basketball. So soon it is going to be even more crazy than it is now. I don't know what it is but, the days are going by faster and faster, I can hardly remember last week at all it was such a blur.

This might be fun!

Fun Game So, here's how the game works:1.As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

We are back!!

Well we are back, and how I want to go again. We had so much fun. It was crazy, go, go, go!! But next time we will only go to The Disney World Parks, for 4 days instead of 6. But I will still go on the 7 day cruise. We didn't take as many picture of the cruise. And I will post those later. But I have put captions on most of the pictures in the slide show. The weather was perfect!!!!!!In the low 80's and it only rained one day, and it was the day that we went to Animal Kingdom, and it started raining about 3pm and the park closes at 5pm. So we not only got drenched by the rain, we were also soaked by the water rapid ride we went on 2 x!! We then got on the bus to the hotel dripping wet!! I wasn't about to pay $7 each for a poncho. If anyone goes to the parks don't miss epcot. It may not seem like a big thing, but they have the test track and mission space, and the nemo ride, which I was like 'baby ride' and it was until you got off the ride and you were in an aquairum!! Plus Soarin' which is exactly like the one in California, and that is a awesome ride!!! We went on that one about 5 or 6 times!! (I hope you went on that ride Jessica!). So yes we had a blast, and were exhausted by the time we got on the cruise!! So we relaxed!!!! In the spa the disney cruise has a turkish spa where they have 3 different saunas. heated rock chairs, and 4 different showers, and it is all infused with different scents, like citus, eucliptus, and other relaxing smells. Michae and I spent most of our time there!! We didn't even get off the boat in Cozumel. We spent the day in the spa!!! And yes we booked another cruise, for next year!! So now I have to go, because I have a job, I work at the commissary, as a merchendiser, and I also stock the shelves!! I get to choose my own hours and it only requires about 15-20 hours a week!! I have got to pay for this cruise somehow!!!! I will post more later

It's time to go!!! : )



So this is it, my last post for the next three week! We are so ready for this vacation. We have been ready for the last 2 months!! I wanted to post a couple of pictures of some of the things we have been able to do while we have been here. Not a whole lot. The majority of the time has been spent unpacking. The boys are so driving me out of my mind. I try not to get to upset with them, because I know that they are just bored out of their minds some days. But that time is over and let the fun begin.
Oh btw, yes I did touch the turtle, one of them was over 120 yrs old!! Boy they can sure move when they want to.







I have some of the boys petting a alligator, but can't seem to find it. I will post it when I do.

Love ya all!!!!
DISNEY HERE I COME!!!

Tag I'm It

Okay so I have been tagged. I am a little unsure about opening up my closet, but then again maybe then some of you will finially get to know me just a bit more. I have been tagged by Jess, so thanks you Jess for making bring out my skeletons!!

Tagged by http://meekhouseofinsanity.blogspot.com/


Here are the rules:

1. Link to the Person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
5. Let your tagger know when your entry is up

1. I play games on the computer! There I said it. I love the hidden object games, I rationalize this by telling myself that these types of games sharpen my mind!! lol

2. I don't like to leave my house! I am a homebody. If I don't have to go out I won't. (some of you are probably thinking that's why she never went to enrichment!)

3. I would live in my pajamas if I could. Also I would like to burn every pair of jeans I own. Thank you Michael for putting up with this.

4. I have very little patience, with adults. I figure adults should be able to get some where on time, or call if they can't make it.

5. Things that I can't control drive me to anxiety attacks. Like growing older, and my kids growing up. Time passing in general is something I can't dwell on or else I would constantly have to be drugged.

6. And Jess this one is for you. I hate eating in front of people, especially those ones that I know. You remember our breakfasts @ IHOP? I ordered but ate hardly anything! I would be so thin if I always had to eat in front of friends all the time.

Okay so now that ya'll know just a little bit more about me, now I am going to tag, Boedee, Elaine, Brittany, Becky, and Laurie.
