Going down memory lane

Happened upon an memory card, and was pleasantly surprised at the video's on there, probably from 2 years ago. Cregan and Clay were so small!
The first is a video of Cregan "skating", he actually has a tiny toy skate board and is pretending to skate with it. The whole skateboard is covered by his foot! It's too cute. The second is of Clay singing Follow the Prophet, one of our church songs, although he has is own rendition of it, with a GUN!

Twilight Again...

Even BETTER the 2nd time.... awwww Edward, I love you!

What a cheese ball!!

For Thanksgiving at my mother and father in laws, I made some yummy glazed carrots, and this cute cheese ball in the shape of a turkey! I made the cheeseball with cream cheese, steak sauce, dry ranch dressing and shredded cheese. I molded it into a ball, and then separated the cream cheese and added food coloring and then piped the cream cheese on to crackers and gently fanned them on the back of the cheese ball. For the face I cut out a red bellpepper and then cut a piece of cheese into a triangle and attached both with the cream cheese. The only thing missing was pecans that I put on the side of the cheese ball when I got to my mother in law's house, it turned out much cuter than I thought it would!

Twilight movie

This Friday I went to see the Twilight movie! It was so good. Ofcourse the movie isn't going to be as good as the book, what movie ever is...??? But I really enjoyed the rendition given. The music was great, I loved Bella's lullaby. The acting was good, I thought Robert Patterson did a good job expressing all the emotions that were needed to express.

I especially liked Charlie, he was cute and the ackwardness of his and Bella's relationship was easily presented. I didn't like Jacob, his wig looked fake, but I'm hoping that the other movie's they will get that right... speaking of other movie's, they set the ending up perfectly for the 2nd book!

Overall, I really, really liked it!!! tell me what you think?

Christmas cards

So when visiting with Julie (see prior post), we made Christmas cards and here and a few of my favorite's!

My weekend

A couple of weeks ago, I got a call from my best friend's husband asking if I could come to Georgia to surprise my friend for her birthday. Ofcourse I said, "Heck ya!" and this past Saturday I dropped the kids off at Papa's house and headed to the airport to hop on a flight to GA. Julie, who's detective skills are uncannily in tune, realized on that Saturday morning that I was coming. What tipped her off beside all the questions from Bryan, of what are her plans for the weekend were and such. No, it was Bryan getting up at 6AM to change the sheets in the spare bedroom!!

So she knew I was coming and picked me up off the plane. We went to Macy's first, our favorite shop, and then over to Lonestar, for a delicious and cholestrol laden meal that was sure to clog my heart, but was just to good to turn down...

We stayed up late that night, and in the morning we all slept in, and missed church... I know, I know... We then played rock band, and just hung out together with Avery and Bryan. In the evening we started making Christmas cards and I found myself really surprise at how much I liked that. That evening we ate Smores and Hot Chocolate while watching Desperate Housewives. It was a great evening!

The next day, Julie and I flew to Dayton (the flight back to Columbus was full, and I was flying stand-by and probably wouldn't get on). We rented a car and drove back to Columbus, we stoppped in Easton and went to guess, Macy's, there we found some amazing deals, like my 2 dresses, marked down from $96.00 to $15.00!!!! And Julie found an Ipod speaker stereo, marked from $49.99 to $6.99! It was wonderful and what could top that??? Cheesecake Factory, need I say more.

So thank you Julie for having a birthday and having me for the weekend! It was so relaxing and well needed!! Being 29++ is just great, I'll let you know, when I get that old you know me being 22 still... :)

Inconceivable!!

$5.35, Inconceivable

That's right, you read it right, $5.35, that's what I paid to FILL UP my car this evening!!!!! It was .34/gallon.... "unbelievable," you say, "outragious," you mutter, "Why not me?," you scream from the top of your lungs... well it could be. Let me let you in on my little secret, it's called, shhh, Giant Eagle.... $1.00 off per gallon of gas per transferred or new prescription and I got .20 off for every $50.00 I spend!!!

If you could of seen me at the gas station, doing a little jig, well let me just tell you it was funny...
