Twilight

So I have been wanting to go see the movie. But I am not one to fight the crowds for a movie that will be empty in a week. So I waited.

Chad went to Boise last week for work and was sooo bored that he decided to go to the movies. Well he was going to see the new Bond but it was another hour or so away so he thought" hey Twilight maybe I will see what all the hype is about" ( that is his excuse anyway) I know he wanted to see it. So he went without me. They told him there was only 3 tickets sold so he figured nobody would know he went really. He sat middle and center. But low and behold the women began to come in. They circled him and filled in next to him. He said he was the only guy in there. I told him what did you expect it is Twilight. Anyway he hasn't read the books or anything so he was a little confused at first. But over all he liked it.

When he gets home he doesn't tell me for a couple of days that he went and saw it. Since he knew how I wanted to see it and all. But the guilt was eating him alive. He told me and I couldn't stop laughing. Needless to say Last night he went with me to see it. I loved it. I thought it was good. I had heard from friends and neighbors the and good and bad. But I thought it was good. I don't care about sets and special effects I just go to a movie to enjoy the movie and I thought It was great! I can't wait for the next one!

Christmas at the Cooper's



We put up the tree tonight. I have to admit a few weeks ago I was ready to put it up and couldn't because it wasn't Thanksgiving yet. Now that it was time to I had no ambition. Luckily Preston had been being disobedient and it was the only thing he wanted to do so I could use it as collateral. I know I'm awful! Needless to say the tree is up and I love the season and the feeling it brings.

Karleigh was so cute she was only a few months old last year so she is really seeing it all for the first time and loves it all. She got a hold of a Santa and I told her it was Santa and said ho ho ho and she took it over to Chad and began saying ho ho ho! It was adorable!

Black Friday

So I should be going to bed. After all I was up at 2:00am getting ready to leave to go shopping. Yes I am one of the crazy ones. I have gone for the last couple of years and I kind of like it. Especially when I get that one great deal!

I am so excited for Christmas. I love the anticipation from the kids and all the wishes.

ON Wed. I was sitting at Jiffy lube getting an oil change and I read an article in Womens Day about the craze we sometimes find ourselves in finding that ONE Toy on the list that is sold out everywhere and don't even try Ebay it is going for 5 times it's worth. I thought " I am so the one to get caught on that one last gift". I am thankful for a husband that puts me in my place and reminds me that Our kids are little and really won't remember what they got a week later or month later so to quite stressing. I am just a traditionalist and really want that picture in my head of the little child waking up on Christmas morning and running in and seeing the ONE there waiting to come true every year.

This year Preston doesn't really want one thing. He changes constantly so it has been so hard. DH again reminds me that he will be happy with anything. He just likes opening the paper anyway. He is probably right.

I am rambling aren't I? Sorry. I just wish you all a happy holiday and I hope to be getting pictures soon and i will post!

That's Right!!!!




You Are Pumpkin Pie



Even when people are full - they make room for you.

Good or bad, your smell is most likely to arouse a man.

So I don't have any great pictures or anything. I thought this one of Karleigh was cute So I posted.

A couple of friends and Family have posted about what they are THANKFUL for. I thought Wow I sure haven't been showing my thanks lately. So I wanted to just take a minute to reflect.

FAMILY: Where would I be without my loving Husband. He is always here no matter what. My children are my world. Lately I have been Crabby!! ( to put it nicely) But at the end of the day my children still love me. I don't know if my lOving Husband does but they always do.

GOSPEL: It is everything to me. It defines who I am and who I want to be. what purpose would I have in trying to be better if it wasn't for my savior and knowing I can be perfected through him and return to live with him and my father again.

FRIENDS: I am not one of those that could endure life without a really good friend by my side. My friends are so important to me. I am not the greatest friend at times I can be very selfish but I have been blessed in this life with some very great examples of the kind of friend I hope to be one day.

Christmas: This season brings such a warm feeling. It is much more a feeling for me this time of year than anything else. It seems over the years that as life has gotten tougher and things are not always smooth that the season seems to bring more to my life than ever before. I used to be the one cursing the people with lights up to soon,decorations and celebrations too soon. This year is different. My little Preston has seen others lights and trees up and has been begging to put ours up. I have always done it the day after Thanksgiving and so I have been holding off and trying to explain to him why it is so called "not time yet". THen thinking why not. Why is it not time to celebrate the birth of our savior. I know I am analyzing it again but I am the one listening to christmas music already and wishing I could decorate. Beleive me I will on Friday!
