Sooooooooooo.........these are embarrasing!

I came across these pictures on my video camera that I was unaware of. I vaguely remember taking them but I thought Todd was using my actual camera and didn't miss them when I looked though our pictures of this trip. I was about 6 or 7 months pregnant and HUGE! This is in Sedona at that church in the mountain. The double chin is my favorite part. (sigh) My jaw actually dropped when I saw these today. (SIGH)

No more braces!!!

So I am VERY excited to announce that I got my braces off on Friday the 16th!!! They look great (a little off color but nothing I can't whiten away)! Just wanted to post a couple pictures to show off my new pearly (well.....soon to be pearly) whites!!! Look mom...no gap!

Gerard Butler

I just needed to take a second and rant about how utterly gorgeous Gerard Butler is. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy. The first one is my screen saver........ Yowsa! In case you don't know who this gorgeous god is he played King Leonidas in the movie The 300. (he kicked some serious butt in that movie and was the first movie that his cute face caught my eye) He was in P.S. I Love You as the most sot after dead husband you could ever ask for.(bring a box of tissues for that one though, it is heartbreaking but a wonderful movie) And he is in the up coming movie with Katherine Heigl called The Ugly Truth which looks hilarious. (even if it sucks I'll still see it so I can stare at his glorious face) Aaanyhooo..... hope you enjoy the scrumptious pictures!

Playing in the snow in good ol' Strawberry.

Carder going on the sled with Aunt Jenny.

Daddy and Carder

Carder wasn't scared in the least to go down on the sled. He kept wanting to go higher and higher on the hill. And he didn't fall once!!! Mommy on the other hand fell into the first hole she came across and twisted her ankle. Jeez.....

This is me and the cutest bank robber you have ever seen.

Twilight.......

Ok so I've finished the Twilight series and absolutely love it like I was afraid I would. They are some of the most well written books I've read in a while. Stephenie is an amazing writer. Even though I think the books were intended for teenagers she inadvertently gave all us daydreamers something to daydream about. How cool would it be to have a friend like Edward and Jacob and all the Cullens for that matter. An army of vampires and werewolves. Yeesh! Freaking awesome.
I am reading Midnight Sun on the internet and hope that she will finish it. I can wait for her to calm down because I would feel the same way.
The movie is another story. It could have been so good but I think a combination of director and writer made it rather cheesy. I liked it but I wonder if I would have liked it as much if I didn't like the books so much. Edward is an absolute doll. He is gorgeous in my mind and Rob was an excellent pick. I think the picks for the characters was right on. All the Cullens were great and Bella is beautiful. Charlie was one of my favorites. Such a good pick. Some of the lines (spidermonkey???????? who ok'd that line??????) and some of the special effects were crappy. The baseball scene was my favorite. The music and the special effects were awesome. That is the line they need to follow for the next movie. The way they made them run fast in that part was probably the best way to make it not look cheesy. Hopefully.............hopefully, we'll see!
All in all the books are amazing and the movie was good but I hope the next one will be better! Love you Stephenie!

Christmas pictures

Carder and Daddy making faces at each other. Silly boys!

Just a few Christmas Pictures. I found Carder's sweater first and thought it was so cute and then walked over to the men's section and found one just like it for Todd!!! How cute are they.

Oh how one person can open a whole world!

So I ran into Kelley Crandell at Old Navy the day after Thanksgiving and we exchanged blogs. I am amazed at how just by looking at her blog I have found sooooo many friends that I have lost touch with after high school. I am amazed at how much everyone has grown up and their cute families. Please add yourselves to my "followers" gadgett on the right so I can see you guys too! Please let any friends that I know that are private to invite me to theirs so I can see their families too. Thanks! I love this bogging thing!
