We decided just yesterday that we NEEDED to see TWILIGHT opening night. I origionally wanted to wait until Friday night because I have to work on Fridays and I thought that staying up until 3:30am might make for a hard day at school. Well, I was right. Today has been a very tired day and my eyes cannot stay open.
YEP, WE WAITED IN LINE, in the WINTER weather, for SIX hours. IT WAS SO GREAT!!!
Bart was such a good sport when I called him during the day and told him I just had to go.
My mom, and three of my friends left for Layton at 5:30pm. We claimed our place in line at 6:15 and made ourselves comfortable. We ate Costa Vida for dinner traded off waiting in line and did some shopping at Target and then at about 11:30pm we were heading in....
I won't say anything about the movie for those who are planning on attending!!!
But, I REALLY DID ENJOY IT!!! I was having a hard time with Edward at the very beginning But.... As he fell in love with Bella and they were together... He just got better and better.
Enjoy the movie all you TWILIGHT fans!!!
GO COUGS!!!Nope, not me. My little sister Kelsie and her hubby, Isaac, just found out today their little baby is a GIRL!!!(95% sure) (She's due May 28) Zhoee was so excited and Jadon just said, "Ahhh, man. I really wanted a boy." I can't wait to go baby girl shopping with Kels while they are here for Christmas!
I was just explaining to Zhoee that she cannot get into our bed tonight. She ALWAYS gets into our bed during the night. And the suckers we are, we let her. I let her becuase I'm to dang tired to walk her back to her room and lay by her till she falls back asleep. Bart tells me he just can't say "no" to her and he LOVES to snuggle with her, as she loves to snuggle with her dad.
SO, back to the story, I was telling her tonight we won't let her get in bed with us and she needs to stay in her bed ALL NIGHT!
She looked at me with a really smug, very CoNfiDenT look and said, "oh, Daddy will say yes." Bart, I hope you are reading this: YOU'RE WEAK and she knows it!!!
When I was young, well probably up until I was 14 or so, I would wear towels, shirts, and slips on my head and pretend I had gorgeous, long, thick hair. My favorite was this clogging slip I had for dance, you know, the ones that are really ruffly to make the dress big and puffy!!! I wore it ALL THE TIME! I get teased to this day. So, my Zhoee is a girl of the same heart. She has a strong desire to have the thick, long, hair she obviously was not blessed with either (cutting it herself didn't help any). We bought a long, black wig for her witch costume and even though Halloween is over, the wig isn't put away. She insists on wearing it ALL THE TIME. You should see her dance around and twist her head so her hair gets in her eyes and then she acts annoyed and brushes it back off her face. She is ADorAblE!!!
Bostyn, on the other hand, has been obsessed with tipping over the garbage cans. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, ALL THE TIME!!! Then, if I'm not there to stop him, he rummages!!!
He must have learned that from his DAD, definitly not from me! :)
After our date to the Logan Temple Friday night Bart and I decided to get a late dinner at Chili's. It was 10:00pm so we thought the dinner crowd would be gone and it wouldn't be busy as usual. HA ha, We sure are OLD parents now. So, it was packed. We still had to wait for a table. There were college groups at EVERY TABLE. We usually do our "stuff" in Ogden or SLC so I guess I wasn't used to the overwhelming college crowd. As Bart and I ordered and talked we looked around and noticed there wasn't another "couple" we could see. Every table was pushed together with 3-4 others to fit huge groups!!! The FUNNY thing was almost every college student had their cell phone in their hand texting someone or whatever else. Bart was positive they were texting the person sitting at the other end of the table. We laughed so hard thinking about when we were in college and dating cell phones were not near as popular. We each had one but there was no texting, no pictures phones, no internet connection. We used them ONLY because we didn't have land lines. Times have changed. It was seriously so FUNNY. They could NOT even set their phones down to eat. ALL OF THEM were constantly moving their fingers along the keypad. Then I noticed someone I went to high school with sitting at one of the tables among a group. I have been married almost 8 years, have 3 children worst of all, I am a slow texter. We would NEVER fit in!!! (well maybe Bart, he's a texter and can't go without his cell) We laughed and laughed at how OLD we are getting!!!

We'll switch over to private sometime in the next week and don't want to miss anyone!!!
Thanks!!!
In case you're interested, here is an interesting news story from KSL which aired on Nov. 3rd about the dangers in blogging 'publicly':

The fireplace in the family room has been so bare. After brainstorming some ideas with my mom and sisters I came up with this....
Bart wore a wig from Jamaica- and honestly he does resemble the drunken Jamaican beach bumb who claimed to be "in love" with my sister Kelsie. HA!!!
The Neighborhood Trunk-or-Treat
The night before Halloween we took the kids to the Heritage Center Corn Maze in Logan. They had a blast. They were as scared as their mom about being able to find their way out. We ended up having to cheat to get out of there. I was panicking!!!
I have noticed quite a few things Zhoee has been saying and I just can't believe how much she picks up from me. Then she turns around and and repeats things in the most "uhhh, I'm 16, don't you get it"tone. I'm going nuts!! Today was honestly the first time I thought it really is easier for me to put up with the naughty things boys do rather than deal with the attitude and drama of a girl.
Just a few minutes ago I noticed Zhoee shut herself and Bossy in laundry room. I opened the door and asked her if I could please leave the door open. She flipped her head and said, in the most disgusted tone, after a loud SIGH "Do I have to tell you again, I'm Hannah Montana and no, cuz you'll let all the warm air outside! Me and my honey need to be alone and then go to the store. Didn't you know Bossy is my honey now." Then a couple minutes later she pushed Bossy out of the laundry room and yelled, "And don't come back here, EVER, you're stinky" and slammed the door.
I just stared. I was speechless.
I just put Bart's pictures on the computer and thought I'd post them. Arent' these guys all ruggedly handsome? They(Bart, his Dad, and his brothers) just arrived home from hunting in Southern Utah.
Isn't it beautiful, This makes me miss Southern Utah so much!
Bart, Clint, Richard, Garrett
Yummy! We seasoned and baked the pumpkin seeds!!!
Can you tell J wasn't too excited about this? He thinks he's way too old to get his picture taken at all anymore!
I know this unfortunate event happens in most families, sometimes more than once. I don't remember being too interested in scissors myself as a child but I do remember my sister Carlie chopping her bangs to her scalp and my mom crying over it.
I timmed Jadons hair a couple days before school picture day and after watching the event Zhoee was obsessed with the power of scissors. While supervised I always let her practice cutting paper so she can work on her skills. That's it, other than that they are OUT OF REACH and the kids know they are not supposed to have them in their possesion!!! This doesn't stop a naughty child.
Tuesday, while I was showering, Zhoee climbed up on our couter and somehow retrieved the hair cutting scissors. By the time I wandered into her room she had gobbs and gobbs of hair on the ground and in her hands. I yelled, then I cried, and cried more. She doesn't have thick, long hair, yet I was very fond of her fine, thin, yellow curly locks that I had been waiting three years to put into piggy tails and finally could do. That is NO MORE!!! I was forced to cut and then cut again all the long peices as an attemt to make her hair look somewhat attractive. It's a short, hip, spiky look and she looks cute as always but I am still sad when notice the 4 places I couldn't fix, she cut on a diagnal clear to her scalp. I guess that'll take a few months to grow in.
Isn't he a cutie? He is getting so old and handsome.
