T W I L I G H T

Soooo IM SO EXCITED! i just got back from watching the movie TWILIGHT!! First i have to say THANKS to my little niece and her friend. They stood in line at the movies since 12 (for 6 hours) just so we could be first in line.which a lady yeld at us for cutting cause she didnt get a ticket to get in. I Swear take Edward away from women, and they get ANGRY. Thanks Jeremy my wonderful husband for coming, he was such a trooper standing in line with me for an hour, and not going insane when all the girlies were screaming over EDward. He thought some parts were Kornie, buts it was only cause he didnt read the book. ANYWAYS....even if it was a gay movie, i wouldnt know, every scene i was just thinking about how i felt when i was reading the book. SO I L O V E D it!!

Roses & ................

( the roses are dieing, they are like a week old in this picture, didnt want you to think he bought me Dead roses!)


So the other day Jeremy brought home Roses......i would like to say because he is so charming, and for know reason, BUT he was in the DOG house. So he felt bad, and he brought home a dozen roses. Thank you babe, and i forgive you!

Also, i died my hair Dark as you can see. i really like it. A big change. some people like it, and some dont. i like it though, i needed a change!

Not a Boy anymore!

How old is your boy?
what is your boys name?
I can tell your boy is going to be big, by the size of his hands!
look at that cute boy?

He's smiling at you?
just a few things ppl have said to me when i was out and about with Taylor~!


*i did it, i pierced Taylor's ears, so people would stop saying she was a boy! i think she looks so adorable. I am happy to say, that they have been peirced for about 3 weeks now, and no one has called her a boy!

Halloween Picture OVER loud: MY Cowboy, and Ballerina!

We had such a fun day yesterday. We had a party in the morning at my friend Jayme's house, ( THANKS a bunch) when we got home, we ALL took a nap. when we woke up we went to the trunk R treat. So fun, then we went out to my sister n laws familys party, we got home at 9:30 and we all went to bed. Such a fun day. Kaden ate nothing healthy yesterday, he was loving life!

NO fun!!

Downside: Kaden is sick, sick Sick!! i feel sorry for the little guy. watching your little guy throw up is heart breaking. hopefully he gets better soon.

Upside: we all know how LOUD and CRAZY Kaden is, but since he doesnt feel good he wants to cuddle and be all cute and cozzy. So i like this side of him, but hate that he doesnt feel good.

Sugar Cookies!

(Kaden licking a knife, Cant be to safe)
Kaden wanted the whole bottle of sprinkles on his cookie. who could blame him. there yummy!

Kaden's cookie that he decorated. im suprised that he actually did it. most of the time he is so hyper that he just wants to run around. BOyz will be boyz.


So i wasnt going to have Taylor Decorate a cookie. HOW mean of me...BUT she was so sad that everyone else got to. So this is is a picture of her before we stripped her down.



This Taylor's cookie, you can see all her finger swips. she loved the frosting. With help from abbi i dont think it turned out so bad.

Park DAY!

We had so much fun at the park the other day, the weather was just right. I love my kids so much and they are so fun to watch and see how they act with the other kids!
