it's still rock-n-roll to me

I got a fancy new ipod for Christmas last year and hardly ever used it so I gave it to Brennen and took his old one which he inherited from Jake. The only music I have on it is my new twilight cd that Brennen loaded on for me. I need more tunes and must wait until Brennen is bored so I can give him some more cd's. It's not that I can't figure it out it's that I don't want to take the time. Is this a sign I'm getting old?

Yeah!!!

I got all my Christmas taken down today. Yeah!!! I've decided that although I love my Christmas decorations, especially my tree, it feels so nice to get it all down and go back to a simpler decor. Everything looks so clean and fresh and somethings just don't make it back out. I was planning on doing it yesterday but had to sit still all morning due to an oops with my insulin. It took me all day today but I did it. Yeah!!!

How many days till Christmas?

I'm thinking about cleaning up my Christmas today while I have helpers. I may wait until Monday.
I did think this was funny though.

Here comes Santa Clause...

...in his HELICOPTER!!!


Dillon got to go to his dad's Christmas office party and Santa Clause was also invited!!! He showed up in his helicopter!!! He handed all the kids presents and then anyone who wanted got to go on a helicopter ride over the strip. WAY COOL!
I asked Dillon so did you think that Santa was going to give you a present and he responded, "at first I didn't think he was the real Santa I thought the parents brought the presents and then he called my name and I knew he was real because you didn't bring a present."
So of course I had to ask, "did he smell like beef and cheese?" "No," Dillon said excitedly, "He smelled like peppermint!"

twilight & turkey

Thanksgiving night the girls + John (the photographer) headed to the movie theater to see Twilight. Thankfully there was a show that wasn't sold out. (the one before ours and the one after was) Since we had an hour before the next showing they let us form a line. That's right we were the first in line so we took some photos getting our vampire on.

We had so much fun and I LOVED IT! It might have been because we were in George and when Edward walked in we all woo-ed (Emmy & I woo-ed extra loud). When Bella walked into the Biology class we all laughed and also @ the spider-monkey comment.
All the negative stuff I read about it made me love it more. I loved the low budget feel of it and by the end I was sold on Edward, Bella, Charlie, Esme, loved Jasper and Alice, thought Emmett was perfect, even started to see why they picked that Rosalie, and forgot all about all the powder they used on Carlisle. Loved it so much that michelle, megan, and I went again on monday and than I have to admit I got the book out yesterday and read the whole thing in one day. (I hardly ever read the same book twice)
Can't wait till it comes out on video, or if anyone wants to go again I'm game.


I also had a great Thanksgiving it was fun to see everyone and thanks mom and dad for the sweet condos!!!

what happens in Vegas i will post

My friend Missy from highschool is in town. YEAH!! So last night we went to the show blue men. Had a great time her husband even got to be part of the show. Somewhere there may be a giant canvas of his body imprint in blue. (although my guess is they washed it off for the next show.)
Anyways after the show we grabbed some dinner and began to walk around. That is when we spotted her. A girl passes by and we all are thinking what the crap because she appears to be completely topless from the back. So of course my first impulse is to take pursuit I had to see what she was wearing. As we followed, and this girl was booking it, we noticed she left a wake as people stopped and turned in unbelief. Just like a speedboat making it's way through water. As we rounded the corner we saw she had been headed for the nightclub but we lost her. Then we spot her at the entrance so we hurry over and I catch a glimps of what looks like a scarf wrapped around each breast. My curiosity not satisfied I turn to the bouncer and ask "what was she wearing?" His response was "I don't know but it's a little early for that to come out." so of course I had to ask "was she using double stick tape?" he chuckled and told me that would require some further investigation. So I told him to keep me posted to which he responded that it was a first for him too. We left and this morning I'm still wondering...it had to be double stick tape and a lot of it!

calling all lazy kids

Just following up on my last post.
My kids had way too much candy! They weighed it! We still have a lot left so if you know any lazy kids out there...well send them on over! (especially if they like dum dum's and nestle crunch)
