I Got Sucked In....


That's right. I joined the thousands of Utah moms and women who went to the "Twilight" premiere last night. My showing was a 12:15 at Jordan Commons. I have to say that I didn't mind the "Twilight" series, but I wasn't a devoted fan like some people are. I decided to go to the movie with some friends and it proved to be a very fun night. We got to the theater around 10:45 and luckily they let us into the theater around 11:00 so we didn' t have to wait out in the lobby. The place was jam-packed with women (and a few guys who looked like they were vampires in real life, or they were wearing shirts that said, "I don't know why I am here). My friend Roxanne and I were a little nervous about staying awake so we had to go get a large popcorn and some Diet Coke to make sure that didn't happen. :) Unfortunately, we ate almost the whole large popcorn by ourselves... Oh, well... the diet will resume today right?

The movie was entertaining and I didn' t have any problem staying awake. I wanted to kill Bella, but I hated her in the books so I guess the actress did a good job. She is just a bad character. What kept the movie (and book) alive was EDWARD! I have to say, I was not a huge fan of his (the actor) before the show, but I have to agree with the masses that he is HOT HOT HOT! I couldn't stop looking at him. There was a little steam ( I could have done with more :) ), but overall the chemistry was good. I'll go out on a limb here and say that there were probably happy husbands at home around 3-4 am when their wives came home! :) Haha. It was worth it.

The Things Kids Say...

I had to post about this because it is too precious for words! I want to remember it and I am tempted to go out and buy a notebook to keep in the house for all these things that come out of his mouth. Yesterday, Jack didn't get a nap because we were playing with friends all afternoon. On the way home from a store, I looked back at Jack and this is what he said...

"Mom, I want to take off my head." (All the while tugging up on his neck and pulling his hair.)
"You want to take off your head?"
"Yes, help me take off my head."
"Why do you want to take off your head?"
"Because it is too heavy."

Oh, the sweet thing! He was so tired.

Happy Halloween!


































Halloween was so fun this year. Jack was really understanding what was going on and he loved every second of it. On Halloween day, I took him to the gym in his costume so he could start collecting his candy. After that, I was trying to think of what to do since he doesn't have school parties yet... so I called my old friends at Wells Fargo and we went downtown to trick or treat. I don't think Jack really got the whole trick or treating thing until candy just started coming at him. He caught on fast after that! He got a huge haul from there and after that we headed to our ward trunk or treat. Our ward is so great. After yummy pizza and a costume parade, we headed out trick or treating with our neighbors. It was the cutest thing to see Jack running up to the doors with all of his friends. I can't wait until next year. (Although it does feel great to have my house clean for the month before Christmas.)

Happy Halloween!
