The Twilight Saga Contiues

So good ole Nephi has moved up in the world and got a 3 screen movie theater!! And I got to see one of the AWESOMEST movies in this theater:

Ya that's right NEW MOON!! I went to the midnight showing with my sweetheart Justin, Sarah and her sweetheart Jake, Madison, and McKenna Lenhart.

Abby so graciously got all of us New Moon t-shirts (thank you Abby), and we wore them while we watched the show.

We got there at like 10:15 and waited for the coveted movie to start. While we were waiting they showed a slide show of pictures from the new movie, so I took some awesome pictures. And of course some awesome pictures of our crew:

So if there are any of you that haven't seen the movie or are not going to the movie you SERIOUSLY need to go! It's a new director so there are a lot more special effects and a whole lot more action! You are pulled into the movie from the beginning until the end! No slow parts what so ever!

Thank you Abby for watching our kids!! It was one of the BEST nights EVER!!!

Gardner Village

My Mom, Abby, Bailee, Zoey, and I went up to Salt Lake and visited Gardner Village. Bailee had a little scavenger hunt to find certain witches so we looked at all the witches and wrote them down. If you find all the witches then you can get a free cookie. Then we looked at the little shops that they have there. It was really fun. Zoey had a lot of fun with just her mom. It was fun to just have a day with the girls.

After Gardner Village we all went to lunch at the Pizza Factory in Provo. This made Zoey feel like such a big girl. She was so much fun the whole time, and she was pretty good considering how early we left and how long we were gone.

So it was a really fun mother daughter day!

General Conference

We got the opportunity to go to Conference again this year. It was really fun, and nice. This year we did something a little different. Since Justin doesn't have to work on Fridays we decided to spend the afternoon at Temple Square and take some pictures of our little family. It was so much fun. We arrived at Temple Square at 2:30 p.m. and walked around the Conference Center.

Then we went to the top of the Church Office Building and looked down at the city. The kids thought that it was really cool. Then we took the kids picture on the wedding block looking at the Salt Lake Temple. After that we went on the grounds and the kids got to touch the doors. They were soo excited that they got to actually touch the Temple. Every door we came to they had to touch the doors. Next we went in the Visitors Center and looked at the statue of Jesus. Tyler was so cute he went up to the statue and started to talk to him. He told him about the temple, how much fun he was having, and that he loved him. It was really sweet. When we left Zoey waved goodbye and said "Bye Jesus!" Then we rode tracks to the Gateway to eat dinner at the food court. They thought that it was really cool to ride a "train." Our last stop was Wal-Mart so we could get some food to eat for the weekend. It was 7:30 p.m. when we headed to the hotel. By the end of the night we were sooo tired we said hello to my family at the hotel and then crashed. It was a busy day, but I think a great way to start off the spiritual weekend. It was a good conference this year and everyone seemed to be talking directly to me. We had a rough afternoon on Saturday, and the ride home on Sunday was pretty eventful too. Linsey's car broke down so we crammed them into our car along with the 4 kids we already had. (Jeremy and Bailee added to our 2) Maybe some changes will have to be made for the next one. So despite all the road blocks it was a great conference.

First Day of School!!

Can you believe that my little boy is in preschool?!?!?! He was soo excited to go to school. Tyler's in headstart so he gets to ride the bus everyday. The bus picks him up, and drops him off at our house. I love it.

I actually got to go to school with him. The first week of school was just to get the kids used to it. The teacher took the kids on a tour and told them about each little area. She showed them the bathroom and showed them how to wash their hands, and how much paper to use to dry them off.

Each day they play, do a craft, play outside, storytime, dance to get the wiggles out, eat lunch, brush their teeth, and then go home. This week they have been learning about manners and rules. I haven't been to class with him so I'm sure they have lessons and things. He comes running home to me everyday and tells what a good day he has had and how he was good and listened. I love it!

Everyday he tells me how he wants to go to school. I love how much he loves school it makes me happy. I love waiting for the bus with him in the morning, and waiting for him to come home. He is a good boy, and I love my little preschooler!!

How The Time Flies

August 20, 2009 my baby, Zoey turned 2!! I can't believe how fast she has grown! The time really does fly! We had a birthday party for her at my mom's house.

We set up a little pool,

decorated the house for a luau,

had a barbaque, a pinata,

opened presents, and had birthday cake.

Every year for every one of my kids birthdays Brindy and Chris has been there. I'm glad that they live close enough so atleast someone from Justin's family can represent. We love having them close.

It was a great birthday. She got a lot of cute things. She loves all of it, and she loved all of the attention. She is getting bigger and bigger everyday and more fun the older she gets. I love my little angel. Happy Birthday Zoey!!

An Ode To Linsey

I love my family. I love both of my sisters. I love my brother. They all have had an impact on my life one way or another. Today though I would like to make a special tribute to my sister Linsey.

Linsey and I are close in age. In school she was 2 grades ahead of me so we went to High School together. Her friends were my friends, and my friends were her friends. So we were always together. She would tell me things that she wouldn't tell anyone else. We would be so silly that we would drive my mom nuts! She would get upset at us because we would just giggle. We would giggle for no reason. We both had rooms downstairs. They were right next to each other. I remember one night, it was the last night of summer, and the next day we would have to get up and go to school. So we were listening to music in her room and we were laughing and being silly. We decided that we wanted to have a sleepover so I went upstairs and asked my mom if I could sleep in Linsey's room for a sleepover. She looked at me like I was nuts but said yes. We had a great night. We had to share a bathroom downstairs, but there would be times when I was all ready for the day and she wanted me to sit with her and talk with her while she would do her hair and get ready. It was little things like that, that we did together all the time. She was my best friend.

She protected me from dangers and was there for me when boys were being jerks, or when my friends decided that they didn't like me anymore. We were like twins. I love her. I wish she lived closer so we can be silly together. So we can watch movies, and play games. I miss her.

This week for some reason I have been thinking about her a lot and that is why I made this Tribute. Linsey I love you, and I'm glad that you are my sister. Thank you for all the things you have done for me, and for the better person you make me.

Best Buds

So Tyler and his cousin Kyle go together like "peas and carrots." Everytime my sister comes up for the weekend Tyler wants to have a sleepover. He wants to do everything with Kyle. The last time they came up Tyler and Kyle spent the whole day together. Justin was doing yard work and they were playing together.

Well they started to get bored so we put the sprinkler under the tramp and they played in the water for like an hour. Justin thought it looked like fun so he joined in. I love it when my sister Linsey comes to visit. So Tyler and Kyle are best buds, and they kind of look alike too. It's always a treat when Kyle comes to play.
