So much to be thankful for...

My BEAUTIFUL happy and healthy children who enrich my life daily!
My hardworking, handsome hubby who has made me one happy mama, FAMILY, good friends, beautiful surroundings and a BEAUTIFUL LIFE...

Thanksgiving was much different this year... We slept in late, watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade & ate our delicious turkey dinner at home with just our lil family. After lunch when we were all done cleaning up, Adrianna & Andrew went outside and played together, Jeremy watched football, and I searched through the ads. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving!

The twilight saga: New Moon

Adrianna and i went to see "New Moon" with our friends Debbie and Mallory

they made Jacob way sweeter in the movie than in the book. In the book, his speach is lazy, he dresses sloppy, eats like a pig, etc. I think they made him more dreamy in the movie to create more of a battle between him and Edward. All in all, I loved the movie. Can't wait for Eclipse.

Still Team Edward

(even though he did not look his best!)

a few questions, points, and/or
funny things we'd like to point out...

WARNING

{do not read below, if you haven't seen the movie yet!}

• what is up with jacob's hair extensions?
• a few times edward smiles, it looks as if it hurts. why?
• Alice is adorable, for a vampire.
• love when charlie refers to himself as the "famous ladies man!"
• Jessica was hysterical.
• the "face punch" action movie-scene, still laughing. "marshmallow!"
• Edward tells Bella, "you gave me everything just by breathing," Awww!
• we love the squeals & giggles of the audience!
• Overall, "new moon" was much better than "twilight"

Happy Birthday Babe!

Jeremy turned 30 years old!

I wanted to have a birthday party for him but he didn't want to miss one day of Deer hunting LOL
Instead Adrianna, Andrew & i made him a chocolate cake, packed up and headed to the hunting lease to spend the weekend with him. He had already went hunting before we got there and killed an eight point!
He had to do some serious hunting while he could! Ha Ha

My kids love deer season! Adrianna even has her own gun {although she has never killed anything!} There are always lots of kids for her to play with and talk to on the radio. She especially likes to go to the camp at night to eat delicious food around the fire & roast marshmallows!

I had a blast spending the weekend with you,

no one else in the world I would rather be with.


Here is a picture of Jeremy's Birthday Cake

Skate Party...

Adrianna's school had a skate party which included black lights, fog machines, spooky music, & awesome costumes. Adrianna went as a rocker! They did limbo, Thriller, & the Casper Slide! It was LOTs of fun!

Happy Halloween...

call me a freak... but I LOVE Halloween!

Maybe because its so much fun to wear costumes...
Maybe because I {heart} Candy...
maybe because we theme our costumes to kind of match. {wink wink}

Halloween is so much fun, and kids make it crazy fun!

We had a pre-trick-or-treat party which included friends, creative costumes, and "Jack O lantern" pizza from Papa Murphy's &
a skeleton veggie tray. {Jeremy helped make this!}

Then it was off to Trick or Treat!

I tried to get some pictures after we got home but the Dalmatian didn't want me to take his picture...
