IN LOVE WITH TWILIGHT!!!

After reading a blog post about someone's experience seeing Twilight, I wasn't AS excited to see the movie. I mean, I was still excited, I guess I just had lowered my expectations. Tyson and I saw it tonight (Tyson loves the books too) and we absolutely LOVED it! There is not a single thing I would change about the entire movie. There were tons of teenage girls in the audience that screamed everytime Edward would show his face. It was annoying Tyson a little bit but I was just as happy to see his face as they were;) All in all, the fight seen was amazing and the baseball scene was really great. I can't wait for the next one! Tyson liked it also and we had a great time. I just had to post this because was so excited about the movie I had to blog about it. I am seeing it again on Monday night with my friend Molly, can't wait!

Sad story about Twilight

Isn't the blog title catchy?:) I am so bummed right now. They had this giveaway for the early priemier of Twilight tomorrow evening. It was at a place ALL THE WAY across town, I mean 28 miles away through Las Vegas traffic! It was from 3-5 p.m. So I made my way over there to get my tickets and it took me 45 minutes. I ran up to the place with Kai and the line was sooo long. The lady came down to read off the names on the list and hand out the tickets, by the time she got to the bottom of the list I was never called. So I asked her if my name was on it and she said it was but I hadn't signed my name next to it and she was out of tickets. Needless to say, my heart sank! I called Tyson and he was way bummed also. So, I drove back home and I had to post this blog about it, I am sure you all would have been so dissappointed also. Oh well, Tyson and I will have to see it on Saturday. That's the good thing about Vegas is there is still tickets available to buy for Thursday's midnight showing since there's about a million movie theater's here.

4th Picture

You are supposed to post the 4th picture from your 4th file on your computer. So here it is, my beautiful sisters Mara, Kimmy and Kelly. I am not sure when this pic was taken or where but it was the fourth picture ion my fourth file, and I am glad it was this one because its so cute! I tag AMBER, TRICIA, ROCHELLE, KARA & ANDREA!!

Thanksgiving

Is it just me, or did the holiday season just sneak up on us?? I can't believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and then there is Christmas! Wow! Maybe it came so fast because we have done alot this year and it went by so fast. I love the Thanksgiving holiday and its Tysons favorite holiday. The family, the food and especially, the football. We are excited that we get to spend Thanksgiving this year at Tyson's aunt and uncle's house with Grandma and Grandpa Schrader and other family members that we rarely get to see and visit with. I think its important to reflect on all things that we are grateful for and be thankful for our loved ones. Tyson and I are so grateful to our families and our friends here in Las Vegas for all of their support and their friendship. They have really made a difference in our lives here. We wish you all a happy holiday season.

Halloween

This year for Halloween, Tyson and I decided to take the kids to our wards' "Trunk or Treat" on Thursday. We were invited by our neighbors Molly & Jason and the bishop. It was craziness!! There were 4 wards packed into one parking lot and there was tons of food, everyone was dressed up! Kai was Iron man and Ashtyn was snow white, Tyson and I dressed up as Ute fans with our neighbors, it was so fun! A few people had the same outfits on and Kai was asking about it, I just explained to him that IMITATION IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF FLATTERY and that we should take it as a compliment. He liked that idea and was happy to see other people dressed the same. All in all Halloween was a blast and the kids were hilarious. Kai had a full bucket of candy and we were still walking around and he said, "I think I am done now, I have plenty of candy, thanks anyway!" LOL, I thought I was in the twilight zone! Ashtyn just kept unwrapping all of her candy so she could shovel it in her mouth!

Halloween evening we invited John and Sandy (our aunt and uncle) over for game night and I made my famous 5 bean stew (so yummy) We played Catch Phrase and Immaginiff, they were so fun! Sandy and I were a team and John and Tyson were a team. (needless to say, Sandy and I kicked their butts!) I am so glad that they live in Las Vegas now we can spend more time with them. Sandy is so much fun and a sweetheart and John is great and funny! The kids loved both of them!! We had a great time. Thanks you guys and we'll see you at Thanksgiving!! Hope you all enjoyed your Halloween and have a great holiday season!! xoxo
