Friends and late night movies....

Gracie, Katherine, Cory, Me, and Amber..oh! and little Man T!! So I look so bad in these pics becasue it is 1 am!! I was so tired..but it was worth it! We had alot of fun!!


I get this phonecall like around 7 pm...I couldn't get to it...and listened to my voicemail around 7:30pm....it went something like this...."Hey this is Amber. Umm...was wondering if you want to corrupt a few of us and go to the $2 theater to see Twilight...it is last minute and not sure when the movie starts. Call me back and let me know." This particular night I was scrapbooking with my sisters and I went to them and told them the could be plans...yes we have seen twilight like 4 times..but it is at the $2 theater!!! How could we pass it up?!? We joined a few of my friends for the 10:30pm movie...and had a lbast! One hubby wondered if a bunch of Mormon Moms were actually going to go to a movie that late or if we had other plans and not sharing them! haha (: I have the best friends here in Moval! I am truely going to miss them! I love being spontaneous and gettign together for random things!...staying up with them scrapbooking until 4 am....baby showers.....and church things....I do not think Idaho could offer me better friends. Lucky for me a couple of my dear friends will be joining me in Idaho! So I will have a few fun and great friends up there! Thanks to you girls for always being there for laughter, pain, fun, truimph, heartache, success, and for anything else life hands us!

Oh!!! And if anyone else wants to go and see Twilight at the $2 theater...I will go again with you!! (: hahaha xoxoxo

SeVeN.....7....SEVEN!!!!

I cannot believe it! Samantha is now 7!!! Time is flying by! Good thing we are having fun!! (: haha Samantha is such a fun girl! She is growing up to be such a beautiful young lady...but for now remains my little girl. We have alot of fun with her...she is always smiling! We love her and so glad she is ours!! xoxoxoxo
Of all the cakes she could have...she asked for cupcakes with rings...thank you Winco!! I know...not like me to BUY and not make a creation, but this is what she wanted...stay tuned for my attempt at Wesley's cake...coming up on the 20th! (:
Samantha and her gifts...she wanted to go to John's for her birthday dinner...her wishes were granted...and then as we were leaving she asked Grandpa Campbell to turn the hot tub on to have it ready for her when she got back...lucky for her, we grant birthday wishes!
Deal or no Deal...after listening to her Dad, Samantha took the 125 ticket offer...only to find out she had the 500 ticket case!! This happened three times in the night! That girl is lucky!

So....here is the deal..yes it does say 50 tickets! And so like idiots we all cheered for Samantha...and she quietly turns around and says... I only got 4. Look closely...the corners are 4 tickets and the little thin dark green space is the 50 tickets..it is a mean trick! (:

They love tickets....and getting prizes....I call it junk, they call it prizes....

The birthday girl!!

The 9 year old...

The 7 year old....
The 2 year old...

The three rugrats....having a great time...the perfect thing to do at night,
they go right to sleep after!!

Dave was brave and entered the hot tub with them...I love the hot tub..I just HATE getting out in the cold!! brrrrr

Dylan update

Well....no new is good news?? (: We met with Dylan Dr. today and he was glad to report that afor now, there is no evidence of seizures. He wants to do another EEG in a month and if that one shows no activity then we will do a 24 hour EEG were he is hooked up to the EEG monitor for 24 hours. If both of those tests come back clean, then he sadi he would feel comfortable seeing us in a year to do a folowup. And then he showed us all of the MRI "footage". He began by telling me that he was glad that we went to Fontana Kaiser for the MRI..here is how our conversation went:

Dr.: Great thing you wen tot Fontana so they could sedate Dylan for the MRI
Me: Why is that?
Dr.: This MRI is s clear and it is easy to read. It has no fussyspots like it would if he were awake
Me: Well, then I am happy to report that they tried the MRI without sedation and was very pleased that he could sit so still.
Dr.: Did he fall asleep in there?
Me: No
Dr.:He did better than most adults.

Dylan was beaming. And of course very proud of himself...I was proud of him too! The Dr. also told us that he was amazed when he saw Dylan's MRI. He told me that when you have a premature birth, that you have things about your physical appearance sometimes that gives it away...as well as your brain. He mentioned that there are spots on the brain that are typically enlarged...and Dylan's is normal. He said by looking at the MRI alone, he would've never guessed he was born at 27 weeks. He said that was good news as well. So now we wait a month..and try to figure out how to get him to focus in the meantime...
