If your happy and ya know it!!! Honk Honk??

Crazy Kids!

You would think that i am old enough to blog about my own kids..... But i don't have any!!! So i blog about my sisters kids because they are my happiness and excitement now a days.... SO anyway, a few weeks ago we went to see Disney on ice. These are just some of the pictures we took while we were there. It was a ton of fun. Also these are a few videos of the crazy kids. My niece and nephew LOVE to play the wii. This is them playing a cow racing game. I just think it is funny because they are just jumping all around and shaky everything about. And the second one is Gunnar who LOVES to sing and clap to if your "Happy and ya know it!" he has singing care bears that sing "The wheels on the bus" and other songs so he got them mixed up and started honking the horn instead of clapping his hands! He is so cute. This is what i spend most of my extra time doing... just playing with them! The pic is of me and my sister Brittany, she is the best! We are with her little boy Gunnar I love these guys! They help lift me up when life gets tough and keep me smiling no matter what!..... Not to mention they feed me and let me hang out with them!!! As i think of Thanksgiving i think of family, and friends and the people that are really there when you need someone! I am so thankful for my friends and family and for my job and for a great place to live! Life isn't so bad when you stop to look around!

Twilight Movie.....Was it worth the wait?

OK, so i saw the twilight movie.... and.... it wasn't awful? But it wasn't that super either. I liked it. It was pretty good at following the basic elements of the book. I guess i was just hoping it would be more exciting. I wasn't necessarily disappointed, it was still a good movie. But not my favorite. But than again i am not obsessed with the books either. I will admit i read them all, and liked them. But they aren't the BEST BOOKS EVER!!!!! Like totally blow me out of the water. But it is a good fun story. I was really looking forward to seeing it on the big screen. Maybe the other books will be better movies, if they become movies...they are a little more exciting and action packed! I will definitely see them if they come out. But I am not sure it will hit my top slot for best movie ever. Plus I think Edward is supposed to be cuter than he turned out to be. But Emmit was cute! And the boys, Eric, Mike and Tyler looked NOTHING like i pictured them.... everyone else did a pretty good job at playing their parts. I guess i just always thought Mike was more nerdy than cute... HA Anyway If you have seen it tell me what you think too... Maybe it just needs a second view for me to really appreciate it?

Merry Unbirthday to me!

OK so Suzanne, me and Karen decided to be crazy and go to Disneyland to celebrate all of our "Unbirthdays" this weekend. We drove to Vegas and stayed at Kelli's house,(a friend of from BYU)and then got up super duper early to drive to Disneyland we didn't even get to really sleep much at all! Then we went all over Disneyland having a blast. There were a lot of people there but amazingly it wasn't too bad. We got to do everything i wanted to do, and more! Dennis Quaid was right in front of us at Space Mountain he went on the car right before us. The people around us were freaking out, it was funny. Also they were filming the Disney Christmas special that is going to be on ABC on Christmas day, so the Jonas Brothers were there performing at the park, they had a cool stage with presents and Christmas trees, it was really beautiful and fun! People were pretty crazy though! Then we got stuck in the Indian Jones ride FOREVER! They turned on a huge bright light and we had to talk to the mechanics and the people that work there. We had to keep taking on and off our seat belts while the shut the power off and on. Then it started working we went a little ways in the pure darkness, and stopped again right underneath Indian Jones! Just before the big boulder is coming at you and you drop, which happens to be my favorite part, but when you get stuck and they turn on the lights and Indi Kept looking around and just hanging there while the boulder spinned a head of us, it kinda ruined the suspense of the ride. BUT we got little vouchers that let us come back and ride it again later when it was finally fixed... It was a long ride! It was a super fun trip. Then the next morning we went to Newport Beach which was beautiful. It was windy though and the waves were HUGE I loved it! The weather in California was so nice it was even hot a few times! It was like 76 or 78 degrees, and just lovely! A little cooler at the beach, but hey it beats snow!! Then we drove the entire way home it rained a little bit but we saw an amazing rainbow it was so bright and vibrant! Then it became a double rainbow. It was like the first time i have ever seen a full rainbow completely arch across the sky and you could see both of them even though the top one was lighter! It was gorgeous. Perfect ending to a fabulous weekend!~ It was a crazy but super fun weekend! I didn't take as many pictures as i wanted to but here are the ones i did take!

SNOW???

OK so it snowed today.... REALLY? Come on just a few more days of sunshine. Or at least safe driving where there are not crazy accidents everywhere... I think i wouldn't mind snow as much if it were safe to drive in. I mean, NO i don't necessarily LOVE being cold.. but i can deal with it because i love wearing hoodie sweatshirts and bundling up in blankets. But it's the driving that scares me and today i saw an awful accident where a van was wrapped around a telephone poll on it's side with another car smashed up too... and it's only been one day of snow, what else is to come? I should run away to somewhere i can wear flip flops just a few more days and enjoy the warm sun. Ha Who knows maybe not... but i can dream right?

Only a few more days....

Ok so i have been off track for two weeks now, and i am now down to the last few days. I have tried to do all of the things i don't have time for when i am working. Like get my hair done, going to the dentist, getting a flu shot, visiting and meeting with friends, cleaning my house extra good, getting all my laundry done, organizing my closet, catching up on movies and tv shows, sleeping in once in awhile and reading tons and tons of books! And my favorite, spending lots of time with Ade and Gunnar and Brittany. It's so funny being off track. I feel like i get so much done, i even catch a few moments of boredom and sometimes i even think i am ready to go back... but as soon as time to go back gets closer i still get that anxious feeling i used to get as a kid when summer vacation was ending....Then i feel like there is so much i have to do before i go back... i just can't think of what.. It's like a Roller coaster. But The time off has been fun, and well needed. I get to go back just in time for Parent Teacher Conferences... Yahoo! What a party!

Life is like a story, sometimes it's hard to believe it's happening all around us!

This is the background music playing as my story is told..... haha maybe just in my head?

HALLOWEEN FUN WITH MY FAMILY!

 
So i started my day with Breakfast at I-hop with Kristen and her two cute little kids. Then we went shopping and just hungout for awhile it was so much fun! Then i went over to my Sister Brittany's house where Princess Leia and A Purple Drangon were getting ready for a fun Halloween. My Nephew Gunnar is almost two and just loves Halloween already. Ade has been always shy but this year was actually a lot of fun. We went Trunk Or Treating at my dad's ward and then went to some of the houses in my sister's neighborhood. It was fun even in the RAIN!! Then we went back to my sister's and ate pizza and just hung out. My nephew Gunnar afer getting out of his dragon costume put on my nieces little plastic pink high heel shoes.. he was as pretty as a princess. And to top it off he carried around her pink purse and was pushing his favorite toy... A pink stroller. He is such a cute kid! Then we read some Halloween stories and played with some toys. It wasn't anything fancy to write a book about but it was good home town fun I love my family!
