All the girls!


During Twilight, people were screaming whenever Edward or Jacob were on the screen. There was a girl a couple seats down from me and she was crying at how Edward was so sweet to Bella. Most people in the theatre had on Twilight t-shirts. One girl had a sign that she was holding up. It was fun to watch everyone. Some were reading their books while waiting for it to start. I don't think the movie was long enough. I would have loved to see more of Edward. Here is a few of us who were at Edwards theatre. It was so fun.

Twilight movie!


Twilight was so good. Edward was unbelievably gorgeous. I am almost sad that it is over; I have to wait another year for the other one to come out. I thought Summit entertainment did a very good job. I want to go and see it again. We got home at 3:00 and I couldn't fall asleep because I was thinking to much about the movie. Preston got up at 6:45. It should be an interesting day. I hope I have a lot of patience today with the kids.

Twilight Movie at Midnight!

A couple of friends from my ward are going to see Twilight tonight at Midnight in Ontario. We are so excited! I will post tomorrow and tell you all how it was. I think it looks really good. I am going to be so exhausted tomorrow. We probably won't get home until 3:00 and my children usually wake up at 6:30 a.m. I took a 2 hours nap tonight so I can stay awake. I am usually in bed by 10:00. I don't think I have been up this late since I was dating Taylor.

Calendar


We also made cute calendar's at Taster's table. They are so cute! You write the dates and then erase it every month with a dry erase marker. You put it on a cute easle or hang it on your wall. You can also change out your ribbon for the different holidays and seasons.

Taffy Apple Pizza!


I took this dessert to a Relief Society activity called Tasters Table. The theme for Tasters Table was apples. This dessert is so easy.

Taffy Apple Pizza
1 package (18 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 medium Granny smith apples peeled, and sliced very thin
1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping
1/2 cup chopped peanuts

Preheat oven to 350. Shape cookie dough into a ball and place in center of large round stone or pizza pann; flatten lightly. Roll into a 14 inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Bake 14-16 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes and loosen cookie from stone using serrated bread knife. Cool completely.

Combine cream cheese, brown sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla in bowl. mix well. Spread mixture onto cookie evenly. Arrange apples into a cute pattern. Microwave caramel ice cream topping for 30 seconds. Drizzle over apples. Sprinkle chopped peanuts over apples. Cut into wedges. So yummy!

Crazy, Forgetful me!!

Yesterday, I went upstairs to get Preston up from his nap. As I did I was cradling him and kissing him. I went down the stairs that way and when I looked down their was poop all the way down the stairs and all over me. So I washed my clothes and gave me and the kids a bath. Then I was thinking what did I do with my cell phone. Oh no, they were in the back of my jean pockets! I went and opened the washer and sure enough there it was. I started screaming. I was so mad at myself. If I had slowed down enough and not freaked out so much about the poop I probably would have remembered it was in my pocket. So I checked my cell phone account and I am due for a free upgrade. Sweet. I went to the Verizon store today and waited in line for an hour and the kids were so well behaved. Right!! They were all over the store. So then I get up to the counter and they can't access my account. I didn't have the right numbers with my cell phone number. Then he told me after all that waiting, he couldn't do anything and I would have to go to another store and they can help me. Ahh!! I wanted to scream. In fact, I think I did. So now I am stuck without a cell phone or a home phone. I feel very stranded without a phone. Just wanted to share my fun phone story with you. I hope I see some better days.

Daddy and Preston


This is in Oak Glen up in the mountains where you can go and pick apples. There is shopping and restaurants. Really good apple pie too. I love this picture of Taylor and Preston. He loves his Daddy.

Santa Monica Beach


We drove down to the beach after we went to Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Callie was so excited to go and then once we got there she was kind of scared of the waves. We had a fun time. Preston loved running toward the waves and then away from them. We aren't used to cold water though. The Pacific ocean was like 60 degrees. People were swimming in it. I thought they were crazy.

Strong!


I thought this is a fun picture. I have seen people do this in pics before so I wanted to try it too.

Hollywood, California!


This is overlooking Hollywood. This was taken in September with my brother-in-laws camera and I just got them off it. We took a hike up to the sign. What a great view!

A bride again!


Callie's Halloween costume from last year still fit. I didn't want to spend the money on another one when we moved to a new ward. She loved wearing it again. Her and Preston won "Awesome Costume Award" at our ward party. I think all the kids got one in fact.

Spiderman!


Preston was Spiderman for Halloween. We couldn't get him to wear his hat though. He had so much fun eating candy and just walking around trunk or treating. He is doing his Spiderman move.

Trunk or Treat Ward Party!
