I'm a Twi-tard...apparantly

My wonderful cousin, Nora came up to see "Twilight" with me...at midnight!!! Unfortunately we did not get a picture of the long line we waited in or the awesome shirts that we wore. We totally dorked it up and it was awesome! I don't feel dumb though because there were tons of mom's that I knew so, no making fun. The movie was great, totally cheeseball but great. It's no emmy award winner but quite entertaining for the Twilight lover. Loved it and can't wait to take Thad to see it with me next! What was my favorite scene...I know its probably everyones but the meadow scene and Edward playing the piano. For the other Twi-tards that have already seen the movie, what was your favorite part of the movie?

(I cannot fail to mention that my mom joined in on the fun and came to watch it with us too. She spent the night at my house and then helped me with my house today. I fell behind on the house work having been sick for the past 2 weeks, so thanks mom!)

Sick, sick, sick

We have been SICK. It all started out with Cayson having a cold. Then I had the stomach flu for two days, got better then got a cold that has turned into a massive sinus infection. During my getting sick, Cayson's cold turned into croup cough. He went on medication and sounds much better than he did last week. Apparantly moms that nurse their babys have the risk of giving the baby their sickness. Oops, that was what I was afraid of! Carly started with a stuffy nose that quickly turned to a cough. Once she started to have a fever and start tugging at her ears I decided that it was time for a trip to the dr. We went today and she has croup too and an ear infection. So its amoxacillin for 10 days and a steriod for 2 days. Poor girl can hardly breathe through her nose and coughs so hard that he little body shakes. Now I'm hovering over her waiting for an allergic reaction to the amox. Please, I don't need that! Luckily Thad hasn't gotten anything yet...knock on wood! So stay away, we are on the mend but can't promise anything.

In other news, Carly goes in on wednesday for her first fitting for a shaping helmet. We are not excited but this will be best for her. Poor little girl, her daddy already makes fun of her big head and crooked leg, now she's going to be wearing a helmet. She'll be damaged for life! Since nobody knew about her crooked leg...her right leg is turned out at the hip so we have to do physical therapy at home to train her leg to be straight so she can walk right. These are the first signs of anything from the hydrocephalus. Still doing good!

Photo Tag

I got tagged. Here's the 4th picture from the 4th file.

What an embarassing picture, I look horrible! This is just a picture of Carly and I with Copper. We had Copper for a few weeks before we decided that we couldn't handle another dog and that it would be best for her to live with someone that could devote more time to her. The people that she went to live with are very nice and they spoil her. We miss you Copper!

I tag...Maury, Cara, Melissa and Miriam

Family pictures

I don't have any pictures to show for it but we had our family pictures yesterday. They should be awesome! I will be sending out christmas cards and need addresses of people that would like one. So if you want a christmas card with pictures of my HOT family on it leave me your address. Having fun doing our pictures yesterday was the one bright spot of the day! At least I have my family to make me happy!

Guess what I'm talking about...

I didn't know what I wanted to title this post so I thought I'd list all the ideas that I had.

Are you freaking kidding me!?!
We're screwed.
There goes our retirement...
Should we call it "The Half-Black House?"
USA=big target
Pissed doesn't cover it.
Australia, here I come!
This is going to be a long 4 years.
This sucks.
Really, he's the best we could come up with?
I worked hard all day but here, take this money.
Socialism, here we come.

Yup, we are in for it.

Tonight Thad, Carly and I participated in the Light the Night walk for Leukemia and Lymphoma research. Some of you may or may not know that my mom was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in February 2004 and nearly died as a result from it. She spent almost 1 month in ICU when we found out the type of cancer she had. After extreme chemo and radiation treatments she has been in remission for over 3 years now. It felt good to support an organization that helps research and give aid to those that are afflicted with the same cancer, some of those people not getting as lucky as my mom. We had fun walking around and playing in the grass before the walk. We wish we would have brought Brindle since so many people brought their dogs with them. Shhh, don't tell her or she'll think we neglected her!

Before the walk we were playing around on the grass. These are some of the beautiful pictures of Thad that I took. He should really be a model.....or not!

Halloween fun!

Friday night we went trick or treating with Connor and Cash. Cayson had a lot of fun with the boys and got tons of candy! Carly was so cute in her bumble bee costume!

State Fair!

Wednesday night Cayson, Carly and I went to the State Fair with grandma and grandpa. Fawn, Tondi, Gina, Jack and Jade came with us and Darren and Allison met us there. We had a lot of fun watching the kids play and go on rides. Jack and I went on a couple of "big" people rides and had a lot of fun!

Carly and the goat that was trying to eat her car seat.

Cayson and I on the big farris wheel

I took Cayson and Jade on the spinny ride. They were flopping around everywhere!

Carly's aunts and grandma took her while Dad, Jack and I took Jade and Cayson on the rides. They thought she would like a dill pickle...can you see it in her eyes, "Do NOT take my pickle!"

Cayson's favorite ride at the fair.

Cute little piggies....

Weird freaky rabbit with LONG ears!
