new Moon Premier


Had so much fun at the Twilight Saga: New Moon pre-movie party. My best friend from way back came out from Denver with her sister Cathy. We had some wicked fun and laughed entirely too much! The movie was awesome and I left saying I need to see that again immediately!

"Bells, quick, into the Yellow Porsche, we must save Edward!"

Chillin' at Billy Blacks watching TV.

Me and my twin Alice say...this is going to be awesome!

Refinishing the Kitchen Table


Ohhh, the experience of refinishing a piece of furniture. I now have a new appreciation for my furniture in my house. I will post picts when the project is complete. I wonder if I ever will get the smell of stain out of my nose and house?!

Craftin' with m'girls

I have been keeping busy making stuff. I don't know what it is about this time of the year that makes me want to create things, but I get all crafty. The other day Laura spent forever helping me make images for tile necklaces (thanks a ton!) and then I got together with some friends and made necklaces for the upcoming New Moon movie. It was fun to laugh and be silly, sometimes I forget how to be me after mommying all the live long day!

New Moon



I am so excited for New Moon I can't even stand it! I even did a special pumpkin as an ode to New Moon. I tried some pretty advanced carving tecniques (I actually had no idea what I was doing, but we'd watched a pumpkin carving competition on food network and I was confident I could try some of their skills out too). I only came away with a minor cut on my hand. :)

Halloween Fun


Halloween is such a fun time to be a mom. I love watching my kids get so excited about cutting up pumpkins, dressing up as someone else, and getting candy from strangers.

Caden was Curious George this year, and Tate was a football player (what else). Actually, he was a football player all month long and is still being a football player daily, unless it is dirty, then he is "B'ron James" in a jersy that is much too big for him. I was Alice, of course, complete with a Yellow Porsche 911. I sewed the outfit and I have a huge new appreciation for dress shirts I buy at the store because I know how much work goes into them.



I also got to help with Caden's class party and feel like a "real mom" for a day (in contrast to a real mom that works and misses out on stuff like this usually). It was fun to see his costume parade through the school and play games with his class. He even sang a scary song with his class to round out the experience.
