Breaking Dawn

I can't believe I never posted about Breaking Dawn!  We went to the midnight show and decided to do the event before hand too.  It was supposed to be dinner at the Mayan but it closed down just before the event so we still got to go eat there but the food was definitely not so good.  Haylie, Amy, Michelle, Camie and I all went and had a lot of fun mostly mocking all the other crazy people and trying our hardest not to be seen on the news or anything.  I love these girls but these events pretty much suck!  We could do better doing one ourselves but oh well we have fun.


These are the Edward and Jacob "look a likes"  ha ha yeah right.  We could not resist getting our pic with them.  They sure thought they were hot stuff.  Jacob loved walking around all night with no shirt on.  I tell you what though people sure got excited about them.  I don't think I would have reacted the way these girls did if it were really Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson for real.  Gotta love crazy Twilight fans.


Haylie was adamant about getting a picture with them while dancing...Michelle and Amy had to join her with these guys and then this crazy girl just jumped in.  I think she just liked touching the half naked not so Jacob boy.


Had to do it


No one would dance with Haylie but that didn't stop her.  Michelle would at least stand by her.

It was quite the night.  I wish I had a pic of the lady sitting behind us in the actual movie.  I think it was her first night out of the house in quite a while.  Poor Camie had to deal with the worst of her.  Who knew one movie could bring a person to tears and the big O all in one night.  And no I am not kidding and yes the O is for that!


Aquarium Adventure

While I was in New Mexico we got to go to the Aquarium.  The kids love it and they go all the time so it was a lot of fun to go and see all the awesome creatures they tell me about.


This picture so perfectly shows the craziness of Bos man.  I love it.


The first little tank we saw


Aidan with the creepy eels.  They are pretty freaky but he is stinking cute.  Love his glasses.


Bos is still a little upset in this picture cause his dad had just made him touch a stingray.  But I am glad at least I got a cute smile from Jackson.


Awesome jelly fish


Stingray...they are a bit intimidating as well.  Couldn't blame Boston for freaking out at touching one...you couldn't pay me to.


This is in the big tank.  There are tons of sharks and all kinds of fish.  Pretty awesome.


Maddie checking out the big blow fish.


We got to eat lunch there too.  Jackson and his faces.  It was a fun day at the aquarium.


Catch Up..Christmas and Beyond

Wow I have been a slacker all year so far!  Here is me trying to play catch up.  I went to New Mexico and got to spend Christmas with Mel, Jac and all the kids.  It was great!  I love these guys and had so much fun spending almost a week with them and getting to meet new baby Reagan.  The kids had no idea I was coming so it was so fun to surprise them.  I don't know who was more excited...me or them!


Love these crazy boys!


Decorating cookies for Santa.  Aidan wore that hat all Christmas Eve.


More decorating


Christmas stories before bed.  Mel and Jac each read one.


Boston was pulling faces at Mel as she tried to read.  He is pretty crazy but I love it.


This is one of the only pictures I got on Christmas morning but I think it shows the excitement pretty well.


Cute Reagan on her first Christmas


Aidan checking where Santa was.  I think they went and checked the computer every 5 minutes.

This isn't near enough of the pictures I have but hey it is a start.  I will have to do another post of our adventure to the Aquarium.
