Twilight: Round 2

Amie and I were driving to the airport to pick up our aunt Shelly for the holidays, and in the car we were rockin' out to the Twilight sound track. The music got us all rilled up as we thought about how in the up coming days we would see it again with all the ladies in our family... then it hit us.... Why wait when we could see it right then? .... So we did! And we're still looking forward to seeing it in a few days!

Also... a big shout out to Jordan Seager...a REAL man who's not afraid to be seen coming out of a Twilight theater (Thanks for being our photographer).

The Twilight opening Night was so much fun. A group of ladies from the ward went together and came up from Cali, which was awesome. There was so much excitement we had to take a picture, every step of the way,... including in the car,... at Wal-mart getting treats,... and in the theater lobby playing cards with other Twilighters we met there. I loved the movie, the characters met all of my expectations, the music was fantastic (I already have the soundtrack), and the special effects were good. However, I does not even hold a candle to the book!!

I read on the web that their making a New Moon movie….See you opening Night!

Fall for Fall

We have been enjoying our Indian summer, but also realy missing the beautiful change of seasons. The few plants that live in Las Vegas don't really change, they stay green (or brown) all year long. So, today we set out to make our own Fall leaves. The we went on a trip around the block with the Shumway boys, Ben, Luke and Zack. The kids collected dozens of interesting leaves and a few other things (Xander picked up alot of sticks, and Luke collected mostly flowers). Then we came home to make our fall rubbings.

Here's a little sample.....

Married 8 Years!

I can’t believe it’s already been eight years. We have officially passed over the cursed “seven year itch” and to everyone who said we couldn’t make it…nah, nah , nah, nah! In honor of this momentous occasion, I have decided to embarrass the two of us with a few photos to represent the past eight years.

Kid's Civic Duty

Today the kids did a mock votein school, and learned about the voting process. I think our family should avoid political conversations since we seem to be split. Kaylee hopped in the car and shouted "I voted for JOHN MCCAIN!" Warner yells,(still confused by an earlier misunderstanding of Barock's name, and let's admitt, this sounds cooler, especially to a five year old ) "I voted for TheRock OBAMA!" I wonder how many other people vote for TheRock, sadly confused and enticed by the name.
