Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We went to my sisters house in Virginia for Thanksgiving! It was soo fun! I had to work Wednesday night so we left for their house when I got off Thursday. I slept in the car while Kevin drove, and Brax was being a good lil boy in the back seat so it worked very well. Then we showed up at my sisters house and my awesome sister had dinner under control so I did not really have to cook either! However we did both forget to take pictures of Thanksgiving dinner this year :( Friday Kevin, Braxs and myself went the Washington D.C. we have been there before so we checked out some sites we did not see last time like the Arlington Cemetery, The Pentagon, & Capitol Building! We took the train all over and Braxton was in heaven he LOVED the train he was so happy every time we got on it! The next day we just hung out at the house and went to the park, which was great the kids loved it! But we had a great relaxing weekend with family. THANKS Amber and Shane for letting us visit and feeding us food! Love YOU!

I also went to see TWILIGHT again with my sister because she wanted me too. I have to say I thought it was MUCH better the second time! The second time I went to just go see the show and enjoy it! I think the first time I watched it I picked at it a lot! It is actually pretty cute! So if you did not like it that much the first time you should see it again! I think I compared it too much to the book. But it is so hard because the books are so good! But they still did good with the movie too just not as good as the book!

TWILIGHT


So I went to go see Twilight opening night there was a big group of us that went to go see it. It was really fun to go with all the girls and stay up late! But I have to say I was disappointed in the movie! WARNING I AM GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE MOVIE SO IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT THEN STOP READING! But I guess its not that big of a deal because you already know the story, I am just talking about characters.

Edward- I don't really like Edward that much I thought his acting at the beginning was TERRIBLE! But toward the end he did get much better and there were times I actually thought he was pretty cute. I know they can't really pick someone that is going to please everyone but I thought they could of got a much better Edward! Please cute your hair a little shorter it is so long and a bit out of control!

Bella- I actually liked Bella a lot, I thought she fit the character in the book really well and she was pretty closed to what I pictured for Bella! I thought she did a good job acting how Bella would have.

I really liked Alice and Emmet I thought they picked perfect people for them! Rosalie could have been much prettier and jasper was well kinda creepy in the movie but I guess that worked for jasper! The thing that bugged me the most about this movie was the special effects come on if they can make other movies realistic they could of done a much better job on this, for example the skin on Edward in the sunlight could that have looked more retarded! It was funny because the running looked so stupid sometime and then other times it actually looked good. The music that played almost the whole time was a little annoying too! Okay sorry I just ripped on a show I guess most people liked. It did have a lot of cute parts still and I would still see the second one. The last half of the show was much better then the first part so when we got done I was thinking it was okay. I know books are always better then the movie but I guess I was just disappointed because I thought they could have done a much better job! This book did not seem like it would have been that hard to make a movie. I want to know what you guys thought so leave me a comment and tell me what you thought, its okay if you don't agree with my bad review!

Family Pictures!

So we went and had our family pictures done recently and they turned out really good! Of course how pictures usually go 20 min into the session Braxton decided it would be fun to trip over a sprinkler and fall head first onto a brick! Well family pics do not go so well when your child is screaming his head off! Well he cried and was very grumpy. But luckily our photographer Kara Hagberg (this is her link if any you are interested she did a great job!http://karahphotography.blogspot.com/) was still able to get some good shots and photo shop out Braxton red forehead! The last 10 min Braxton started to get happy so we pulled over and got some cute shots last seconds! I was happy with the results especially with how grumpy Braxton was I was surprised we got any cute pictures!

















Mommy hold me!

Mommy HOLD ME NOW!! I AM DONE WITH PICTURES!!

Braxton the Trouble Maker

So lately Braxton has had an amazing skill of getting into everything very quickly! For example yesterday I went upstairs to get laundry it took me at the most 7 min. Well when I come down he had pushed the bar stool over to the spice cupboard and grabbed the salt and pepper you know probably one of the only ones with out a twist cap on it and then proceeded to pretty much empty both of them all over the floor and the kitchen. Well with me being upset I forgot to take a lovely picture but you can imagine the mess I had to clean up. This morning Kevin was cleaning up breakfast and had just finished doing Braxton hair well apparently he did not like how Kevin did it and he tried to do it himself! He did a fabulous job and Kevin was smart enough to grab the camera even though it made him late for a meeting! It is impossible to watch your kids every second of the day and it is amazing what they can get into so fast! Oh what happened to the lovely days where he could not move?
If you are wondering what is in his hair it is pomade! Which is what we use to spike it so at least he had the right stuff!
We don't usually use a handful of it!
I did a good job huh dad! My hair should always look like this!

Crafty Girls!

I love doing crafts and for awhile we have been talking about doing a craft group. Well we finally did it and it was way fun! Kevin was awesome and helped me get the wood ready he cute out all the wood and did a great job, it took a lot of work! I then got the privilege of sanding it! We had a lot of fun and they turned out so cute so it was worth it! I had everyone over at my house and since I don't have a table to fit us all the carpet worked great well with a tarp over it! The end products turned out really good too! It was fun thanks everyone for coming!

Raquel, Sherri, & Krista working hard!

Happy Halloween!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! I hope everyone had a great Halloween! I know we did! During the day me and Brax carved another pumpkin. Then when dad got home they got ready to go trick or treating. I stayed to hand out candy but I went to a couple houses with them. At brax would not say trick or treat, but it took him a couple of houses then he had it down and would not stop saying it! He had so much fun and he got soooo much candy! They only went trick or treating for 45 min and his plastic pumpkin was completely full you could not fit anything else in it! I guess it pays to be cute! Then we went over to our friends house for a sports themed Halloween party! I was a Basketball player and Kev was a boxer! It was a lot of fun, thanks for having us guys!
