Twilight!

I didn't think that I was one of those crazy Twilight fans until I found myself in a theater full of women at midnight for the showing of TWILIGHT! As I looked around at a bunch of women dressed up in Prom dresses, I thought to myself, Yep, I am one of these obsessed mom's that just LOVES TWILIGHT! Why else would I be in a theater at midnight instead of my nice, warm, comfy bed?

The movie was AMAZING! When the movie got out at 2:15, there was already another line of people waiting to get in to the 2:40 movie and I wanted SO badley to join that line! I have never in my life wanted to see a movie again right after I had just seen it, but Twlight is another story! I was so into the movie that when it ended, I was left hanging...wanting more! How in the world can I wait for the next movie to come out?

Edward was awesome in the movie, and as I was lying in bed at 3 in the morning, I could not sleep because I could not stop thinking about Edward and Bella! I think I finally fell asleep around 4 am, and even in my dreams, I dreamed about Twilight!

WOW-if you haven't read the book, read it, then go see the movie! I want to have Regan read the book, then go with me, because it would be kind of hard to understand what is fully going on in this vampire movie if you hadn't read the book! (I feel like I am on Reading Rainbow trying to endorse a book!)

Housekeeper or Not?

I absolutly HAD to blog about something that I watched on tv today while I was feeding my baby Ellie! I was watching an old episode of I Love Lucy and in it, Lucy had just had a new baby and wasn't getting any sleep. She told Ricky, her husband that she was having a hard time taking care of the baby and keeping up with all of the housework (they live in an apartment!) so in return, Ricky says that he will get Lucy a housekeeper to help her with the baby and housework so that she can get some more sleep!

Okay, what year was I love Lucy made in because in 2008, I personally don't know of any of my friends who have a housekeeper or a nanny to help out! And on top of this, I am 28, have 3 kids and try very hard to keep up on all of my housework, laundrey, violin lessons, preschool carpool, Joy school, food storage, grovery shopping, decorating, scrapbooking and cooking around my house! Lucy on the other hand was in her late 30's when she had her baby, lived in a small apartment, and still couldn't keep up with the demands of life!

Now whether this be just a television episode for enjoyment or not, I felt pretty good about myself for not having a housekeeper and doing things for my family myself! Watch out Lucy, because this mom can do more than you ever could!!!

My man...the Handyman!

Yes, that's right! Regan made these shelves in our garage all by himself! He watched a how to video online, bought the wood, and went to town on Saturday night making these shelves so that we can actually park 2 vehicles in our own garage without running over something!

I am very impressed with his handy skills because there is NO way I would ever be able to do something like this! This is just the 1st step to organizing our basement and eventually finishing it! Way to go Regan!!!

Christmas in November

Some might call me crazy, but I have already decorated my whole house with Christmas! I absolutly LOVE Christmas time, so why not enjoy the Christmas trees and decorations a little longer? I haven't forgotten about Thanksgiving, but I just want to savor all of the Christmas stuff a little longer! Why do you think I have been listening to Christmas music on the radio since Halloween?

Elle's Birth Announcement

This is Elle's birth announcement that I haven't sent out in the mail yet! I am debating if I should just put it in our Christmas Cards in a few weeks! So, anyway, enjoy and thankyou Danielle! She is my friend who took our family pictures! Doesn't she do an amazing job?

Embarrasing Moment!!!

My calling in my ward is the organist. Obviouslly my ward is dificient in piano/organ players because I am not that great of a pianist, let alone organist. Well anyway, today I was playing the organ in church and when it was time to play the introduction of the closing hymn, I went to play on the keys, but I could barely hear the notes coming out. I tried over and over, so finally I decided to press a button called tutti thinking that it would make the pedal louder! Boy did it make it louder!!!!
I woke up everyone in the congregation and probably a few people a few rooms down because that first note after I pushed the tutti button was SO LOUD!! The bishop even jumped up in his seat because it probably freaked him out hearing such a loud note in a sacrement meeting!
My face was SO red and afterwards, I think people were thinking, "is it appropriate to laugh right now or not?" Our dear Stake President was also sitting right in front of the organ, and I am wondering what he thought of this most embarrasing mistake!!

I guess it's like what my mom said. I am not getting paid to play the organ in church, all I can do is my very best, and if that means I have to wake a few people up in church every once and a while, I guess that is my best!
