Act II Scene iv

These delights have violents ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and power,
Which, as they kiss, consume.
-Romero and Juliet

I was ninety-nine point nine percent sure I was dreaming.......

So about 4 mths ago a friend of mine had we watch the Twilight Movie. It got me somewhat interested so she handed me all the books and I got sucked in!!! As I know many of you have been counting down the days for New Moon to premiere. So anxiously waiting for Nov. 20th to get here....well about 3 weeks ago we check on line for tickets and the theater that we wanted to go to was sold out till Nov. 21 :( Not a huge deal right?!? It all worked out. We decided to have a Twilight/New Moon party before our movie started.

The Plan-to got to my parents house and watch Twilight (w/o kids) and pig out on food....that we did, then to go to New Moon. In preparation of that Christa and I made some of these werewolf cupcakes.
They were sooo fun to make and turned out amazing-Thanks for helping me execute them Christa :) I also got some soda and put new labels O positive and A positive. I found some fun candy at Shopko-chocolates and conversation hearts that sparkled and said "bite me" and stuff.

My friend Liz each gave us a goodie bag that had "Twilight Wood" lotion which I really like and a movie is not complete with out hot tamales.And of course pizza!!! Me and my camera...the theater had this cute little display of Bella's cake. Which was pretty cool! Sorry girls for my craziness with the camera!I was able to refinish the book hours before the movie and I must say they did an amazing job with the movie. I felt like Twilight there was a mixed up stuff and some added stuff but New Moon was pretty much on. The movies were night and day and I know the budget was a lot more but seriously there was only one cheesy part. All the running scenes and fighting scenes where AWESOME ! Planning to go again...IF you haven't seen it GO, IF you haven't read it DO it......let it suck you in. I heard through the grapevine that they start filming Eclipse in March!!!!

Thanks girls for well needed girls night!

Rink Side

After a long day of working my wonderful husband took me to a hockey game. I was feeling a little bit guilty because I hadn't seen my kids all day long. It was a much needed date!

It was military night so, they had all these military men, women, and their families there. It was pretty cool. They even repelled from the celling. I know I don't appreciate all men and women that are defending this country. We are so fortunate and I was honored to honor them that night!
Dave couldn't believe that I took a picture of this.....but our neighbors sat their cups up against the ledge of the glass. Dave was right next to the dad and he look at it and then looked at me and said, "If I get those drinks spill on me I will be pissed" This must of been their first hockey game because seconds after the game began there was a fight right in front of them all 4 sodas came crashing down. Dave said, "Well at least it wasn't a $5 beer"

I personally think the hockey players did it on purpose. C'mon seconds in the game...aimed right there? Dave HATES to take a picture but I have yet to see a bad picture of him. If I could be so lucky!
This is Chris (future bro-in law) and Chelsie (Dave's little sister) They got the tickets for Dave.

Once again Dave shook his head at me taking this picture. Every time the Grizzlies got a goal she would be there shaking here cow bell. She got so into it-it was so entertaining to just watch her.
We all got into it. Especially the fights OMGosh there was like so many. In fact at one point there were only 3 players from each team on the ice.

This was one of my freebies from the Army. Dave just laughed as I sported this great beanie. The best part of all the freebies is that I gave it to my kids and they were in awww at all the stuff we got them-and it didn't cost me anything for their happiness (well other than the tickets)
The Grizzlies won 8-3 yeah!
There is a night in Jan were all the seats are just $5 .....so were are thinking that we are gonna surprise the kids for Christmas with some tickets-I can't wait!!!!

Candy anyone????

So it is almost 2 weeks after Halloween and the candy bowl has hardly been touched. I leave it out on the counter and none of my kiddos ask for it. Ummm.....Dave usually has a sweet tooth and he has not touched it. What is one suppose to do with all this candy. I can only make so many candy leis, the kids friends that come over are on a sugar high and I am sure the parents are not pleased, and this will not stay good til next Halloween. So if anyone wants to trick or treat at my house you can!!!!!

We ditched school for a roll in the hay

If you talk to my husband it sluffed. Us Coloradoans know it as ditching school. Last week we headed to Black Island Farm for some fall fun!
Potentially cute group picture of my kids...minus Maile scourer. Here is our hayride. We had 28 kids and 10 adults in our "field trip"!
We got to learn about the things they grow. Oddly enough I found out that baby carrots are really big carrots that are shaved down. All this time I thought otherwise. In fact I told the kids one day that we need to grow the baby carrots in our garden because they taste better!!!! LOL
Dallin and Aubree HAD to go the furthest away to find the perfect pumpkin.
And of course I HAD to get a picture of the kiddos with their pumpkins in the patch. Unfortunately we held up the hayride in my attempts of capturing the moment.
Ask me if we planned to wear all the same colors? I know kind of cheesy but especially when we are in big groups I need to identify my children, and if they are all in the same color...it's easier.
This was the first for us.....pig races! If you haven't seen them it is quite fun for the kids. They train them with Oreo cookies. I will race for Oreos-no one has ever offered me Oreos to run.
Here is half of our group. What fun families :)
Hahaha here is Maile scared to death going down but she loved it!
This could have been all that we have done and they would have been content.
I really had to let go a little bit. I am quite a germaphobe. I typically don't DO public things like this they creep me out-all that could be on it.
But I caved with peer pressure and let my kid indulge.
Fun and but the same thought GROSS. I kept on thinking happy thoughts not germy thoughts!!
Funny thing when we got home Dallin had pockets full of corn and Maile had quite a few in her diaper ?!!!?
My fav the maze and none other than Edward v.s. Jacob!!! We did the kiddie maze and then the Jacob and ended in the Edward side.
The girls wanting to take a picture "hidden" in the corn stalk.

Ashlyn and Malulani they are in class together and they don't really play together but they did today.
Miss Tayler and Aubree
All this fun and I get a grumpy face from my Aubree :(
This goat was the smartest of them all. He sat there and sat there until some gullible kid would spend money for his food as if he was starving.

Aubree my only brave kid to hand feed the Llama.

We could have stayed there for another 4 hours. Thanks to Denise that coordinated the "field trip" we had a blast.
