Sing With Me Now...

Everybody was Kung-Fu fighting...
Those kicks were fast as lightning...

I couldn't help it -- this picture was just WAY too cute not to post it!!

Oh, My Spunk and Kristin are something else! :)

Things A Mother (or Granny) Doesn't Want To See...

Apparently Jorden is getting better at skateboarding. He seems to have a little help...

Wonder where he got these ideas...

Nevermind. Now I remember...

Merry Christmas...

Another Christmas comes to a close. All the rush this past week settled down and we had a nice Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I think the kids were excited with the gifts they received -- they all got exactly what they wanted! We had a fun day together and a nice visit with my Grandpa and then a good dinner, so what else could we have asked for?!?! Here are some pictures from our Christmas celebration!

On Christmas Eve I decided that I needed to make some cookies for my Primary class, so Jillen and I got busy. It was really kind of fun and relaxing, which is exactly what we needed. Too bad the kids had taken my cookie cutters for something and never put them back. Oh well, the circles proved much easier to frost!! :D Here is our before picture -


And our after picture. The kids helped with the frosting and sprinkling...


Here is the tree the way it looked before we headed off to bed on Christmas Eve. Yeah, I don't really get the whole deal with real trees, but it does smell better than the fake one that's sitting out in our shed. Of course, I could have bought a LOT of air fresheners for how much this cute tree cost. :)

So the rule at our house on Christmas morning is that the kids can get up as early as they want to and they can play with whatever Santa has left them, but they can't open, or unwrap, any presents until Tim and I are awake. Every year I am shocked when they actually follow the rule! And it's so fun for them to take turns opening the gifts, seeing who got what and who gave what to whom. They are usually more excited about what they gave someone else than they are about what they are getting. I think that's the whole point, right?

Who knew Hot Wheels cars would be so well received?? Of course, once he opened the first Bakugan (I have NO idea how to spell that!! I still don't even know what it is!! o_O ) toy Jayden was a lost cause! All he wanted was to play with this toys... Who cares that he still had several wrapped gifts in his pile! :D

Here is Jorden opening the shirt I was so excited to find for him a couple of months ago. He loves this silly cartoon on YouTube about Charlie the Unicorn. When the girls and I were at Hot Topic for the Twilight soundtrack listening party we saw this shirt and I HAD to buy it. I put it away and then mentioned seeing it and asked if that was something he would be interested in. He said no, he wouldn't wear it. I was horrified! Now what should I do?? Well, I decided to stick to the plan and give it to him anyway. Imagine my surprise this morning when he opened it and was thrilled!! And he wore it all day too!!! :D

My other big thrill of the day was this little moment. Jillen's favorite character from Twilight is Alice, the one she dressed up as on Halloween. Hot Topic carries an Alice shirt and Jillen has been DYING to get it. I told her I would see what I could do for Christmas. I had checked the 2 local Hot Topic stores several times and was never able to find one. Either they didn't have any or else they didn't have her size. So after looking one more time on Monday I finally told her that I had not been able to find it and that the girl at the store had checked all of the other local stores and none of them had an Alice shirt anywhere near her size. I told her that they wouldn't be getting anymore character shirts until after New Years, so maybe I could find one for Valentine's Day or something. Well, Tuesday Jensen and I were running some errands and we were over by my school which is next to a mall. This mall has a great Hot Topic store so I thought maybe we should check there one last time. I searched both areas that had Twilight stuff and on the last shelf, closest to the floor, I noticed that the shirt on the bottom of the pile didn't quite match the others in the pile. I bent down to see if it was the Alice shirt I thought it might be, and sure enough it was!! As I pulled it out I was thrilled to see it was the exact size Jillen needed!! :D Jensen and I grabbed it and went and paid and then we kept it a secret, letting Jillen think there was no way she would be getting it. This morning when she opened the box and saw what was in it, I think the whole neighborhood heard her scream...both times!! She was SO excited!! And, of course, she wore her shirt all day too!! :)

Here is Jorden in his new clothes from Granny and Grandpa and the new skateboard from Santa. All day long I just kept thinking about the Avril Lavigne song Sk8er Boi... "He was a ska8er boi, she said 'see you later boi!' He wasn't good enough for her. She had a pretty face, but her head was out in space, she needed to come back down to earth..." There's lots more to that song, but I just kept singing mostly that part.

Jorden the Sk8er Boi -

And our little Alice. Jillen got a bike from Santa, which was exactly what she wanted! And it's even kind of pink... (Hey Craig's List, Santa said to tell you thanks!! :D )

Here's Camo Boy Jayden with his new scooter. I am not sure why he wanted this, except that the kids have been riding the old scooters a lot lately and maybe they aren't in as great of shape as I thought. Oh well, he has his own now!! And a camo hoodie too!! Gee, if we ever have to live in the forest he is gonna run out of clothes quick!! They will just blend in!! :D

And our cute little Princess Jensen on her Princess Scooter. Lucky for her it has 2 back tires instead of just one, so that way she can balance better. She told me that she could never ride on a 2 wheeled scooter because she has no balance. Gee, she must get that from her mother... :D

In the evening we went to visit my Grandpa and Aunt and Cousin. Jorden was VERY excited to get to play with Christian and his new Wii. Maybe we will have to get one of those silly things one of these days...

Jayden was so entertained by it that he didn't even notice or care that Jensen was playing with his brand new Bakugan toys!! Shocking, I know!!! :)

And I did send out Christmas cards yesterday, but I didn't send them to everyone -- mostly just our siblings and parents and aunts and uncles. I few cousins in my family and a few friends and that's it. Who would have thought that just that little amount would be over 40 cards!! :o SO I decided that I would be nice to everyone else and post the letter here. That way if you want to read it, and you don't get one in the mail, you can click on it and copy it to you computer, then you can print it out for yourself!! I know, I'm lovely and wonderful. You don't have to say it... :D

Well, as I sit here and listen to the rain outside and the dishwasher running in the kitchen and my favorite songs playing on the computer I am thankful for all the wonderful blessings I have in my life. I have 4 fun children that I love more than anything. They are the greatest joy in my life and I love being their mother. It makes me so happy to see them growing up and becoming individuals. I love watching them develop their talents and strengthen their weaknesses. It makes me sad to watch them grow and know that someday they will leave, which will of course be too soon for me, but I am excited to see what they do with their lives and what kind of people they become. And I am also thankful for a family that is so wonderful. My parents and siblings are such loving people, and I am so happy to be able to spend time with them. I always feel so uplifted afterwards. They are great examples to me. I am also thankful for Tim's family. Most of the Christmas cards that we have received this year have been from his family -- his parents, siblings, aunts and uncles. They are such a good family and I am so thankful for them. I have enjoyed seeing the kids grow closer to their Grandma and Grandpa Whitmer over the last couple of years. There are so many things that the kids can learn from them that I can't teach them. And I know that they will be better adults for having learned those things. I am also thankful for my friends. I really do have some of the greatest friends ever!! They are so thoughtful and kind. It always brings a smile to my face when I think of getting to spend time with them. I couldn't have asked for better friends!! And I am thankful for Tim and the love and patience he has with me. I know there are lots of things that I need to work on in my life and I am glad that he is willing to put up with my stubborness and opinions and indecisiveness. He is such a good father to our children and I am thankful for that. Life isn't perfect but that's okay. I'm glad for what my Father in Heaven has given me. And I am thankful for a Savior who was born into this world so that I might be able to return to my Father in Heaven someday. What a comforting thought that is... And I guess that's the real reason to celebrate Christmas. I seem to be starting a little tradition for my Christmas mornings. Each year for the past few years my mom has given me a binder with family history in it, and I sit and read for hours while the kids play and destroy my house. What a wonderful gift it is to me to be able to learn more about these amazing people who made it possible for me to be here today. And to think that someday we will all be reunited after this life makes these Christmas morning reading sessions all the more special. That's another thing I am thankful for -- ancestors who were courageous and loving and honorable and dedicated. And I am so glad to be able to share that legacy from both my family and Tim's family with our children. And they will be better people for it.

Gee, now that Christmas is ending I think I finally found the Christmas Spirit. Let's hope I can remember it and find it a little earlier next year...

Ballerina's and Jibber Jabber...

Saturday I got to go to a dance recital for some of the little girls in my Primary class. I teach the Sunbeams, which is the 3 year olds who are turning 4. They are so sweet and I have really enjoyed them. 3 of the girls in my class take dance lessons and they were having a Christmas Dance Recital. One of the girls invited me to come and watch, so I did! And it was so fun!! I stood in the back, which is why my pictures aren't great, but I had a good time. And they were all so excited to see me there afterwards! They sure are a cute little bunch of girls and I am going to miss teaching them next year when they move up to the next class. :(

Here they are performing to the song "Where Are You Christmas?" from The Grinch. It was very cute!!


And here they are again at the end giving their final bows and all that.


Here I am with Rylynn, the one that invited me. I figured dancers are supposed to get flowers after they perform, so I brought them some little pink flowers, and they were so excited!! I sure do love making them happy! :)


And here I am with Jenna. I love Jenna!! She is such a sweet girl and every week she sits by me and tells me how much she loves me. I am not only going to miss her because she won't be in my class anymore, but also because her family is moving so she won't be in our ward anymore. I have really enjoyed her this year!!


And here I am with Rachel. I used to visit teach Rachel's mom when she was just a little baby, so I was so excited to have her in my class this year! She is such a cute girl and I have loved being able to see her grow up.

Now from cute little Ballerina's to my crazy children! o_O

This one is from last month, I just never got around to putting it on here. Jensen was in the bathroom alone for quite a while one day and afterwards I found out why.

I knew I threw away that Halloween make-up for a reason...

And this is what Jorden made in his Tech class at school. Glasses. They were his own design and he loves them!!

Ah, when 13 year old boys get the camera...

Now, maybe if I can get that Bluetooth thing going then I can add some Cute Niece pictures here too!! Oh technology...It's a wonderful thing -- when it works!! :D

The Husband Tag...

Alright Brooke, I guess since my name starts with a B then I have to do this one! :) Let's see how it goes...

1. How long did you date before you got married? We dated for 1 year and 1 month. I had known several girls who had only dated their husbands for 3 or 4 months before getting married and I was dead set against doing that, so I said at least a year because I wanted to know everything there was to know about him before we got married. I think I was pretty well informed but still didn't know everything. There are some things you just can't know until you live with someone.

2. How long have you been married? 15 years and 2 months. Sometimes it seems like a lot longer...

3. What does he do that surprises you? No much anymore. He did buy me some earrings for this last anniversary and I was suprised by that. I wasn't expecting anything especially since I didn't do anything for him.

4. What is his best feature? Um, he is usually very friendly and people seem to really like him and they are kind of drawn to him. He doesn't like it and doesn't really see it, but I do.

5. What is his best quality? He's very fair and non judgemental. I don't know if I even spelled that correctly. :) He doesn't play favorites, he just calls them like he sees them. Which does not always make me happy...

6. Does he have a nickname for you? Sweetie. Not my choice but that's what he started calling me when we were dating and I thought it was cute, so I didn't stop him. Of course when he writes it he spells is 'Sweaty' so I was a little confused the first few times I read it. :)

7. What is his favorite color? I don't think he really has one. If I had to choose something I would say maybe red?

8. What is his favorite animal? I think he likes dogs, but after the trouble our dogs have been lately, he might be rethinking that.

9. What is his favorite food? Meat and potatoes. He would eat steak every day if he could.

10. What is his favorite sport? The only sport he even watches is motor cross stuff and motorcycle/bicycle jumping. He likes the X-Games kind of things, with the crazy stunts and stuff. Other than that he doesn't watch any sports and doesn't play much. Although he does like to play Racketball.

11. When and where did you first kiss? It was at our friends apartment while we were watching tv. It was Saturday, September 19, 1992, and we had had our first date on the 17th, and then hung out on the 18th and 19th. We were sitting in their living room with several of our friends there and I was sitting on the floor watching the Miss America pageant to see how ugly Miss Arizona was (come on, she is hardly ever pretty!) and he was sitting on the couch behind me trying to play a Metallica song on the guitar. We were just laughing and talking and I think all of our friends had gone into the other room or something and he just kissed me. I was excited.

12. Favorite thing to do as a couple? When we were dating we would drive around and just talk. That was fun. Now I guess it would be just hang out around the house and do stuff with the kids.

13. Do you have any children? Yep, 4. 2 boys and 2 girls. That's enough for me!

14. Does he have a hidden talent? He is really good at fixing stuff. Anything from cars to appliances to computers -- whatever! And he is really good at figuring mechanical things out. He loves to break apart things and then make new things from the pieces.

15. How old is he? 35

16. Who said 'I love you' first? He did. I was kind of on this "The boy has to say it first" kick, so I didn't say it until after he did. It was probably a month or two into dating, maybe longer.

17. What is his favorite music? Rock, hard rock! Namely Metallica. Although he also likes these silly, annoying country songs that I can't stand. But that's okay, I like a few songs that he can't stand either, so we're pretty much even. :)

18. Do you think he will read this? I doubt it. I would be surprised if he did, although sometimes he has a few minutes at work and he will check things out. I think he doesn't like to read it much anymore because I talk so much about Twilight and other things that he doesn't really like. :) I guess if he got his own blog then he could talk about Jewel and Taylor Swift and Shania Twain and then we would really be even! :D

Who do I tag? Who ever has a husband and wants to do it!!

Here are some pictures to show you how cute we used to be, 16 years and 4 kids ago! :o Here's 2 from when we were dating...

And then when we got married...

A New Word & A New Cut...

E! On-Line has a new word to add to their Celebrity Addictionary. Any guesses what that might be??? Well, if I'm posting about it the you probably have a good guess! Here you go!!

Today's Celebrity Addictionary word of the day is Pattronize. You could look it up. It's a verb that means "to humor one's Twilight-obsessed friends" who are all gaga over grungy-hunk, sensitive-vampire-dude Robert Pattinson.

Hypothetically, we might be tempted to say something like "Twilight is a cheese-rageous bit of campy fluff designed to fleece tween girls of their allowance money." But because we're wary of raising the vamp ire of all the fanggirls out there, instead we say something like "It's a fun little preteen, chick-flick thrill ride." Did that sound Pattronizing? Oh, we didn't mean it that way.

Oh, My Spunk... Who'd have thought he would get his very own word someday! :) If you want to see the article for yourself you can go here --> http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b74432_addictionary_word_of_day_pattronize.html

They have lots of pretty pictures of him too... But I'll Pattronize you with one of my own!! :D




And we knew it was going to happen sooner or later, but it still came as a shock. My Spunk got a haircut. Seriously. Here he is out and about the other day, getting some large boxes and then trying to stuff them into his fancy new little Audi convertible. I guess time will tell if he actually bought a new car, especially since he seemed to love his old one so much. Maybe this one is just a loaner... I kind of like the thought of him driving around town in a falling apart BMW. :) He did say it makes him feel like "One of the people." :P Oh, he's goofy, but he's lookin' pretty darn good with this fancy new haircut!



Here's a little better shot showing just how short it is. Luckily it should be grown out enough by Spring that it won't affect his 'Edward do' when they start filming New Moon and Eclipse. Oh, the sunglasses and the scruffy beard are seriously killing me...



So, now that the hair is gone for a while I thought I would show you what I think is my favorite hair of his. It's from the middle of October when he was in Austin, Texas and also in Mexico. He was having a good hair week, that's for sure!! And I couldn't love it more!!! :D

At the Austin Film Festival promoting How to Be.

And in Mexico City for Twilight. Holy Hannah this picture is something else!! :)

I guess we won't be seeing this for a while. Although I'm sure he will still do it, especially when he's nervous. It seems to be a little habit of his... And I love it. :)

Ahhh, that's enough pretty for now. :)

Me and My Girls...

Oh, my school friends are so awesome!! And I miss them already!! :(

Most of them had their last class tonight so they decided to go out afterwards and just hang out. Truth be told, most of them wanted to drink and gab! :) After they got out of class I was just getting the kids to bed so I headed out to join them. There were about a dozen girls there, but a few of them left for home around 10. The rest of us stayed and chatted for another hour or so before finally letting the restaurant close down for the night. These girls are all so great and they have made my last couple of years at school so much fun! We have all had several classes together and spent lots of time getting to know each other, so I think they are the biggest reason I am sad to be finishing school. But luckily most of them are finishing up too, so I'm not the only one. Let's meet them, shall we? I don't think any of them are being sought after by the FBI, so it should be safe to show their faces here... :P

L-R - Samantha (Sam), Jennifer (Jen), Erin, Heather, April, and Me



Now for the good stuff -- why I have enjoyed them so much!!

Sam -- Seriously SO FUNNY!!! She is always so cheerful and smiling! We had classes together almost every day for a year and and a half and every time I would see her the first thing out of her mouth was "Hey Girl!!" She makes me laugh and I have been so bummed not to have any classes with her this year. But I was glad she was there tonight!!

Jen -- The Rendering Queen!! I really need to find her a crown... She is so fun and always such a hoot to talk to!! I have loved getting to hang out with her several times a week for the last year and a half. She always has great stories and it's been a highlight of my evenings to see what alcohol she has chilling in her fridge at home for after class! :D She's so funny!!! And she has a son named Jayden too!! Every time I see her she sings the 'Brandy' song to me and she even showed me her cell phone tonight where it says in the index - Brandi - she's a fine girl... :D

Erin -- Oh Erin, what can I say??? She was my best bud in our Sales and Marketing class last Spring and she's the one who broke the news to me about Heath Ledger dying. We've had several classes together and I always loved getting to talk to her about nothing at all. She's really pretty quiet but she can make you laugh!! Plus she told me once that I didn't look old enough to have 4 kids, much less a teenager. Since that point she can do no wrong in my book. :D

Heather -- As Jen says, Little Tiny Heather can best be described as a stick of dynamite - a small package with a big boom! Heather is so cute with her love of all things retro. She always wears the cutest clothes and she has the tiniest feet!! Which, of course, means she has really cute shoes that us girls with big feet can't ever find in our size. Don't let that blonde curly mop fool you!! The best part of Heather?? She loves speed metal music! :D I think that's what you call it... :P And she talks Lost with me!! Yeah!!!

April -- April is so quiet!! She's so sweet and reserved, but away from school I think she has an alternative personality! She's been going to school and working and planning a wedding! I'm not sure how she does it but I am sure glad she does! I have loved getting to know her over the past year and a half. We had the Building Codes class last year and I think she and I were the only ones that the teacher was not afraid of by the end of the semester! :D She was in my group for my final project, along with Jennifer, and we had so much fun and got along so well. It was a really great way to wrap up my school experience.

These girls are all so great and they have been so much fun to hang out with and share classes with. It's so wonderful to have people along side you -- going through the same things you are. I think they are the reason why I have loved these last 2 1/2 years of school more than I ever enjoyed the first 2 years. I think I literally talked to about 5 people total during my first 2 years of classes. Lucky for me things changed.

It's only been 3 hours and I miss them already...

I'm Officially Edjumacated...

Well, tonight was it. My last class for school. I still have to finish my internship next Spring, but I'm all done with my classes.

4 1/2 years it's been since I started, and yet it seems like yesterday. There is no graduation or anything until May, so maybe that's why it doesn't feel like I'm really done. But I am.

And I couldn't be sadder about it...

If you want to check out the final group project that I did with my friends Jennifer and April, you can see it in my Beegurl13 Creations blog -- the link is to the right. And man, if things go well I might just pull off straight A's again. I guess we will see on Friday.

Now back to my depression. I really do love school.

Merry Christmas Quiz...

Okay, seriously...when did I become Mrs. Scrooge??? I have finally reached the point where I totally understand my dad's hesitation to put up Christmas decorations when I was growing up. I get it!! I have NO Christmas Spirit. How sad am I? And I realize that I am probably scarring my children for life by ruining their childhood Christmas memories. But I just have no desire to put up a tree, or lights, or decorations, or buy presents, or send Christmas cards... NOTHING!! Oh well, I was kind of this way last year too, but not nearly as bad. Good thing my kids are getting old enough that in the next couple of years I can just tell them to put up the decorations, and then also to take them down and put them away. I think that's the part that I dislike -- the putting everything away!! Everyone loves to put it up, but no one wants to help take it down. I feel like the Little Red Hen who is making the bread -- everyone wants to eat it but no one wants to help make it. :(

So, in an effort to boost my Christmas Spirit a little, I decided to Blog this little quiz that my friend Michelle sent me. Anyone who wants to do it is more than welcome to!! I'm sure you've got more Christmas Spirit than I do and your answers will probably be WAY more fun!! :P

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Depends - for Christmas we wrap, for most everything else we bag.

2. Real tree or Artificial? I like fake because they are easier and cheaper, but apparently we are getting a real one this year... Not my choice...

3. When do you put up the tree? When I absolutely can't put it off any longer. (Seriously, scarring my children!!!)

4. When do you take the tree down? Usually right after New Year's Day, although last year we took it down earlier and it was pretty nice. But I figure if I haven't put it up until the week before Christmas, I can't really take it down a few days afterwards.

5. Do you like Egg Nog? I don't really know. I've only ever tasted it once and it wasn't bad, but it wasn't the greatest thing since sliced bread either.

6. Favorite gift received as a child? I always got dolls and Barbies and I really loved those. The most special was probably the Christmas right after my Grandma Loe died and it was my year to get a big porcelain doll. She had already made it and it was one that I had told her I liked, but I never dreamed I would get it. I was 16 so I don't know if that really counts as a childhood memory, but it's one that I love.

7. Hardest person to buy for? Probably my parents or my Grandpa, yeah, I think he's the hardest one.

8. Easiest person to buy for? My kids. They are pretty much good with whatever.

9. Do you have a nativity scene? Yep, a few of them. I got a Little People one last year that I love!! That's the one thing I am excited to get out this year, and none of my kids are even little enough to still want to play with it!! Except maybe Jensen. :)

10. Mail or email Christmas cards? We always mail them but this year I'm thinking can't I just Blog it??? :P

11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Oh gee, I don't even know. I guess when someone buys me something just because they need to get something and they think it's something I will use, yet I have never even mentioned it to them. But I'm not naming any names or presents in particular... :P I'm always happy with whatever I get, and I'm always thankful for the thought that went into it. :)

12. Favorite Christmas Movie? A Christmas Story is really great. I also like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation too. The scene on the front lawn when Clark is trying to show off the lights on the house is hilarious!!!

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? The day before Christmas Eve... You think I'm joking! :D I try and start before then but it usually boils down to that day, and then some on Christmas Eve. Pitiful, I know.

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Of course, but nothing too cool. And not to anyone that I really care about. It's usually something for Tim's work or something.

15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Green Olives. I love them!!

16. Lights on the tree? Yep. I like white but the kids and Tim liked colors, so colored lights it is.

17. Favorite Christmas songs? O' Holy Night. I like the hauntingness of it when it gets to the "Fall on your knees..." part. I've finally discovered that all of my very favorite songs have that eeriness to them. I don't know why but I love that!!

18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? We stay home. Our families live in opposite directions so instead of going to one or the other, we just stay home. And as the kids get older I think they will prefer that anyway. I know I did.

19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? Yep, I can sing that song!!

20. Angel on the tree top or a star? I think we have an angel. I wanted a really pretty star but I just couldn't find one. Although maybe last year I did... I can't remember. I guess we will see when that box of decorations comes out this week.

21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Christmas Morning. When I grew up we were never allowed to open anything on Christmas Eve, unless we were getting pajamas, so my kids have to abide by the same rules. Too bad for them!! :)

22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? Having to spend money that I don't have on things that my kids don't need. That bugs me to no end!! Oh, and it's cold. Why can't it be like 90 degrees??? I'm a desert rat, I need heat.

23. Favorite ornament theme or color? Well, we don't have a theme, the ornaments are just kind of a mix and match of past years. I used to get the kids an ornament every year, but I don't know that I have the last couple of years. Again, NO CHRISTMAS SPIRIT!!! :(

24. Favorite thing for Christmas dinner? We usually have ham, but a couple of years ago we were gonna have turkey and I didn't know that Tim had used all of my turkey oven bags and not told me so when I went to cook the turkey, I couldn't. Needless to say, we ended up driving through Jack-in-the-Box and I gotta say, it was awesome!!! So nice!! Everyone ate good and I just threw the wrappers away and the cleaning up was done!!

25. What do you want for Christmas this year? Nothing really. The things I actually want are not really feasible. And NO, I don't mean My Spunk!! :D Although, that's not a bad idea... Except that I think some kidnapping would have to be involved and prison is not on my agenda for 2009. :P

Well, I'm done and I still don't have much Christmas Spirit. Just call me Debbie Downer. Then again, only 11 more days and it will be over. Yippee!! How sad is that!!! :P

Here'a a little picture to remind you of the children I am scarring for life. I can't believe it's been 5 years since this picture was taken!! :o Gee, they have gotten so much bigger since then... :( What happened to my sweet little babies...

Rock The Box Office...

What a great idea!! If you haven't seen Twilight yet, or haven't seen it in the last week, then you should totally run out today and watch it!! December 12th was the original release date, so as a way to honor the movie, and to bump up ticket sales and show how much we really do love the book, Twilight fans are suggesting that we see the movie again, TODAY!! Why not!! It's Friday and what better than to watch a good movie with a great cast!! Come on, you know you want to! :)

Just think, you can sit and watch Robert Pattinson for 2 hours... That right there is worth the price of the ticket!! :D

And you get to enjoy Kristen Stewart and the awesomeness that she brings to Bella. I really do enjoy watching her!

And who could resist Kellan Lutz as Emmett??? His amazing fans made him this sign for the movie premiere in LA -- SO CUTE!! And if you think this sign is cute, just wait until you see him as Emmett!! Wild Grizzly Bears never looked so fun!!

Excuse me while I go check movie times... Yippee for cheap matinee movies!! :D
