Twilight Premiere Party!

Last night we went to a little Twilight party up at The District! Earlier this year Jessa came across these tickets that included some fun stuff to do including the movie. We all got "glittered", they had a costume look-a-like contest, they had a bunch of vendors that were selling some cute stuff, there was a bunch of games, and we got a little goody bag that had a few little fun things in it as well. We all had a great time and for the most part we liked the movie! I actually really liked Edward. I went assuming I wasn't going to and then did. I thought that all characters did a pretty good job. The only one that bugged me was Carlisle, not the actor just the way he looked! (hated his hair and his make-up was too cakey looking). Yes there were some cheesy parts, but there had to be a little humor or it would have really been cheesy, right? Can't wait for "New Moon!"

They also had a couple contests and I actually won! This was the cute sign that i won!

Happy 2nd Birthday Logan!

This year because of everything with Kurt's job situation we decided to just have my family over for a little party for Logan's birthday. We will actually celebrate it with the rest of the family over Thanksgiving because everyone will already be together. Anyway, he had a blast. Here are some pictures of some of the gifts he got...
Grandpa and Grandma got him a talking Mickey. For any of you who know Logan knows he LOVES Mickey! Trying to give him kisses before he is even out of the box!

Nickole, Matt and Sawyer gave him a little construction playset that he thought was fun too! This is him trying to figure out how to get it out of the box!

Grandpa and Grandma also got him this battery powered 4-wheeler! He loved it, and so did everyone else! This is Sawyer taking it for a spin.

...now Braydon...

...and finally Logan and of course Mickey gets a ride too!

This year I just decided to make cupcakes instead of a big cake...much easier!

......mmmmm good! We didn't get a picture of it, but Jentrie also gave him a shirt and some new levis that were really cute! He also got a puzzle, some Elmo DVD's, some cars and trucks, a really cute talking Mickey book, and a couple other outfits. Overall he had a GREAT 2nd birthday! WE LOVE YOU LOGAN!

The "7 Random Things" Tag

Well, i was tagged by Cass to write 7 random things about myself so here it goes!

1- Unless I have somewhere to go...I stay in my PJ's all day long. Why waste the time of getting ready if I am just going to be all sweaty from cleaning the house and playing with the kids.

2- I too, the same as Cassidy like to talk late at night. It's something about getting into bed that sparks my brain to want to talk about everything and anything. Kurt usually is listening for a minute, but then I start to hear snoring and I know that he didn't really care to listen.

3- My biggest fear is being attacked. I have night terrors on a regular basis of someone coming into our bedroom standing over me. I know get some help, right!

4- I am super anal about how the dishwasher gets loaded. Sometimes Kurt will load it to be nice and help out and without him knowing, I usually rearrange everything.

5- I have a reality TV problem. I love them, but not your typical ones that everyone loves...I like "The Hills", "Celebrity Rehab", "Road Rules/Real World", "Sunset Tan". Pretty sad, huh!

6- I am really insecure about just about everything! I can't even decorate my house without having 5 different people tell me that it looks okay! Even getting dressed...no matter how many times Kurt tells me how nice I look, I usually change at least 2 times before leaving the house!

7- I am the biggest over-analyzer ever! Maybe it's the insecurity, but I am always over thinking EVERYTHING! If someone doesn't call or text back..."are they mad at me", "is something wrong", "do they really just not like me". Braydon not listening..."am I a horrible parent", "does he just not care", "doesn't he love me enough to listen". I know I've said it before and I will say it again...get some help!

Thanks Cassidy! I tag: Annie, Jenn, and Steph or anybody who wants to!

Braydon's Art

Braydon started pre-school this year, which was really hard for me. I am one of the most "over"protective moms in the world and thats why he didn't go last year! Anyway, he has loved it. I have always felt like he was a pretty social and smart kid. He has always been able to make friends wherever we go. If we go anywhere for more than 10 minutes and there are kids around, he will have a new little buddy! Anyways these are a couple things that he has done lately that have made me so proud of him!
He can write his name...

He has never been big on coloring...he likes it but only for a few minutes. When we were watching conference this last month a friend emailed this cute packet that had a bunch of fun stuff for kids to keep them entertained. Braydon asked, "What am I supposed to do on this page?" I told him to draw a picture of our family. He said, "Okay here it goes." This is what he came up with! I know its not perfect, but I didn't know he even knew how to draw stick people! He is such a good kid...and I love him to death!

Happy Halloween 2008!

We were so excited all day to go trick-or-treating! Braydon got home from his school party and was ready to go...isn't it great how kids just don't grasp the time thing! Then it decided to get cloudy and then start raining, it was only sprinkling when we started so we figured we would be fine! After going to a couple houses, Kurt ran back home and got the umbrella! Logan was not very cooperative when it came to pictures...so this was the best I got of the two of them together! They really did look super cute! Thanks mom for the amazing costumes!
Logan is "Hades", blue hair and all and Braydon is "Hercules"

"Hercules" showing off his muscles (he loves to pick characters that have big muscles)

This was Logan before we got him dressed and sprayed his hair...not sure why he couldn't wait to give the cheese until after he was all ready...stinker! :)

My liitle "Hades"

He was totally sneaking candy because he thought I wasn't looking...HA, HA GOTCHA!

4-wheeling with dad

Everytime Kurt goes riding...Braydon always wants to go. It breaks Kurt's heart to tell him no, so this time he took him and Damien took Kira! They had a blast...like always!
It's always a "gun show" when you get around these boys! They've even invited Kira to be in the show too!

This was a huge spider they saw while they were out there! Kurt said it was every bit as big as a taratula....eeewwww!!
