Seems like so long ago..

Check out these pics....isnt he a cutie??? So long agao...didnt seem he was ever like this...so small and smiley....


And now, almost all grown up..taller than me...and still smiley, but not as much...

These pics make my heart ache, just as pics of my own would....

Twerd is the word...

BFF Soon to be Twerd K came across a new term that I believe should be added to Websters.

Twilight Nerd = Twerd

Twerd would definitely describe me..

I have read the first book twice, am about to start on the second book for the second time..

I have the soundtrack, listen to it constantly..

Will buy the score, I believe it comes out today...

Have watched the movie four times..I will see it again when BFF Special K reads the book...actually, Becky, you should come with too, we can all see it again together.

There is a companion book I want to get (background, pics I havent seen before), saw it at the bookstore yesterday, but havent given in yet.

I watch the celebrity blogs daily to see any scoop on the character who plays Edward (Robert Pattinson) and any other news on the remaining movies..in case you didnt know, the second book, New Moon has been given the greenlight, minus the original director (I am actually happy about this).

I am not sure why I am like this, it really isnt explainable. The books are geared more for the teenage girl, parts are very sappy, especially the book. The movie was good but definitely left a lot to be desired after reading the book. Since the first movie did so well, I am hoping a much larger budget will be available for the second one. So I am not sure why I am so into it. I have always liked vampire stories, I was a big Ann Rice Fan..but it is just a good story, different than most vamp tales and just all around entertaining.

I think I may also have Kaelen almost convinced to start reading it, we will see!

Here is a site that has done some great posts on Twilight..some mocking, some serious..fun.

Boo-Friggity-Hoo

Do you really think anyone cares that you are sorry? Maybe you should have thought about that before you practically chopped off your wife's head..things have a way of coming round full circle and taking care of themselves....

This is a funny site I came across recently, I had vaguely heard of the book a while back, you should check it out...

Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup...

I think my favorite pics of the boys are the ones where they are having some type of fit...I say boys, but it seems I only have pics of Christian...I think I am going to create a photo book, just on the tantrum pictures I have of him and show them to his girlfriends along with the bathtub pics and the ones of him picking his nose....ahhh..sweet revenge.

I definitely need to start getting pics of the olders boys too, God knows they throw fits daily as well. Here are some pics, some you may have already see, some not.

I made them large for your viewing pleasure...

My sweet baby boy...hey now, don't dream its over...

I caught a fish thisssssssss biiiiigggggg...

On Sunday, I took Kaelen and Haden to Sylvan beach for a little fishing. It was very laid back, this wasnt a high stressed boating trip where you can possibly sink and drown or get hit by a big ship after it takes over an hour to get the boat into the water and then get to wherever you are going. It was right off the shore, it was nice. Now, I do like to fish, for very short periods of time. I do not have the patience I did as a child, when my dad took me fishing. I dont have time to sit still and in one place for that long. We stayed a few hours and didnt catch anything! I almost got something, a fish or a crab, when i fished in the rocks, but nothing else.

It was cold and windy, but a good time was had by all. Christian got to stay home with dad. Here are a few shots.

This is my pole, I was trying to get the pole and the cork (the orange thingy), but because of all of my camera expertise, it didnt come out right

Hello to all. I have not been posting much lately, as you can see. I havent been taking too many pictures. I know! Thats crazy you say! Me? Not take pictures? Well, I just havent been in the picture mood and my little lens is in the crapper, again, for the third time since I purchased it. I am sure the warranty has expired by now, so I need to buy a new one. That leaves me with my long lens, which doesnt take pics close up...sigh...so there ya go. I am hoping to have a little money left over after Christmas and my bonus to possibly get a new little lens.

Thanksgiving was good, we had the family over at our house. My mom and my mom in law brought so much food, I really appreciate it!! I only cooked the turkey and some green bean casserole! I felt bad!! But the turkey turned out really good....Kaelen was a big help, he helped inject it and baste it.

I didnt do too bad on my diet. I have lost 8 pounds since my doctors visit, and didnt gain any over Thanksgiving, so I am pretty happy.

We got some family time this weekend, Poppa T and I took the boys to see Bolt, it was cute, but I would have much preferred to see Twilight again Madagascar 2. Later that night, Chris taught Kaelen and I how to play Poker, we played with pennies, it was fun!

We did not venture to 1 store this whole weekend, which is the way I like it. The savings are not worth it to me, nor is the possibility of getting trampled or shot. Headlines like that make me soooo mad. Is a friggin cheap laptop or TV really worth it? I mean come on people. Unfortunately, this is what our society has become. Possessions seem to be more important and life or the feelings of other people. What is the true meaning of the season again? It seems most of us have forgotten.

All in all, it was a pretty good holiday. I must admit, I am not looking forward to the chaos soon to come in the next few weeks, especially since I have not purchased one gift. Sigh...such is life.

I should have pics in my next post, but in the meantime, here is a sneak peek for the grandparents of some pics to come, taken by the best photographer ever.
