TWILIGHT nerd....I am in TWILIGHT heaven...

I was so excited for TWILIGHT to be in theaters Friday! It is great when a book you love can be brought to life. So I went with no expectation...it is hard to keep book readers happy when you take their beloved book and turn into a movie. TWILIGHT the movie was so good! I loved it! Robert Patterson...perfect Edward..I wasn't too convinced until I saw the movie...everyone was casted very well...it was great to see the book come alive! And of course with the release of the movie...my awesome girlfriends and I got together before the movie started and then stood in line for an hour and a half to get a good seat. I have never felt so old...so many teenagers! I guess I should have expected it...it was a teen book. We sat in our seats..got good ones,thank goodness!...and anxiously awaited for the movie to start. The excitement filled the theater...it was hard not to get swept up in it. These teens...would scream as each character was introduced, the kiss...oh man the kiss! I think it is one of the best kisses in movie history....oh man...and the girls went nuts! I do have a confession...when the girls would scream at each part...inside I was screaming too....haha...just now I am 30 and shouldn't do stuff like that. haha...and to tell you the truth, it made the movie experience more fun! However, I want to see it again...with out the screaming banshees...lol.

Party favors! I found these cute black Chinese takeout boxes and put on the movie poster and filled them with goodies..."Eclipse" gum, "nerd" candy, "kisses", "blood sucker", "candy bracelet with a candy heart charm, and a beef jerky stick...it is Jacob, we fried him up..haha, (:


Ok..here is my sad attempt to do something cool. I took a chocolate cake for the bottom and then took a red velvet cake and cut out the letters TWILIGHT in the twilight movie font...it looked good at first and then started to fall apart...I tried...at least it was yummy...


Food...yummy!


yes..that is scrapbooking...we did a scrapbook page for our pictures...it was something to do as we waited...and you know you want one too....(:

I have the best friends! I had so much fun with these girls and so glad that they were as excited as I was and wanted to make a night of TWILIGHT! Thanks so much to all of them for coming and having a great night! Now hopefully they will make the 2nd and 3rd book into a movie very quickly...(:

What I did on my first day of being 30...

30 flirty and thriving??

A fabulous quote from one of my favorite movies...weird to be 30...not flirty...and not sure if I am thriving...but I am 30. Wierd.

Losing teeth..the sequel...

It has been I think 3 hours since my last post...oh my! Well, I have now decided that Dylan should be in trouble for kicking his sister in the mouth...though he did a great public service...Samantha has now lost another tooth. The one right next to it, was obviously loose...at least I hope it was! She came in the back room exclaiming, "My other tooth came out too! I lost another tooth! I am going to have so much money!" With us waiting so long for the "snaggle" tooth to come out...we were in shock that another tooth hit the dust...What a day!!



Amazing how teeth and the lack thereof changes a face...and how quickly it happens...in about 3 hours...lol (:...by the way Dylan is for hire if any of you have teeth that just wont come out or if you want to get a headstart!

Losing teeth

Samantha is a the age of losing teeth. She had her front top tooth hang on for dear life. I have been twisting and pulling this tooth for WEEKS now! We have tried just about everything. We even told her that the tooth fairy would give her $5 if the tooth came out by the end of the day last weekend...that didn't work either.(She also has another tooth with a cavity in it that I want to fall out, the dentist wanted to wait to see if it would fall out on its own.) Her grandparents...both sets have tried to encourage the tooth to come out. Her Dad has nicknamed it "snaggle"...poor Samantha. It has been twisted so much that it sticks straight out...and so today we are trying to keep the Sabbath Day Holy and rest. The kids haven't gotten that memo...in playing Dylan kicks Samantha in the face...knocking out the "snaggle" tooth. It was a bloody mess, she still had blood on her cheek and lips when I took the picture..more dramatic that way. haha I wasn't sure if Dylan should get in trouble for kicking Samantha in the face or a reward for getting "snaggle" out. Samantha was so excited...she put the tooth in a bag and brought me my camera. And Dylan thinks it is pretty cool that he kicked her in the faced and knocked a tooth out..he is quite proud. I think we need to have a talk with him about things to be proud about and things not to be proud about...(note to self. (: )
