Oh No! Twilight move over...

This can't be happening.

This has to be a dream...a very good dream.

Okay all you ladies out there that love Twilight. Here is your next Muse.

My husband in all his infinite wisdom once told me that an author has one paragraph to catch and bring in their readers. And it's true. Usually if I struggle with the first chapter in a book I will set it down and never pick it back up...

Ladies, this book didn't take one chapter or even one paragraph...this book took one whole sentence and I was turned to mush.

"I'd been waiting for the vampire for years when he walked into the bar."

Done.

'Dead Until Dark' by Charlaine Harris...

I'm done for! Blog you all later...

No really, that did not just happen...

WHAT???
I really didn't think I was going to have the 'hickey' conversation with my boys until they were much older. Granted, I didn't think that Cade would be giving them to himself either.

My four year old beat up a little boy at day care today. Yep! So proud, wouldn't you be? We got two notes. First one read, "Morgan began hitting a little boy repeatedly..." The second one read, "He beat up a little kid from a smaller class." Hmmm, still not sure exactly what happened...Little chap spent his entire evening in his room by himself. Let's see if it sticks!

You all know I am addicted in every way, shape and form to Red Vines. Well, one of my wonderful teammates pulled out a 5 lb. tub of them at work. No No No! Please don't do this to me... Well let's just say that I can eat Red Vines at anytime of the day, and that tub is now 2 lbs lighter just because of me! *sigh*

Alright...So long suckers. Blog you all later...

Cade and I after a massive Lego search for that one missing piece among millions. Don't worry, we found it...eventually.

52 Weeks is a year long challenge for Mom (that’s me) to be in a picture once a week for 52 weeks. We are always the ones behind the camera, this is my chance to get out in front and be in the pictures with my family. Click on the button above to see other Mother’s that are taking part in the challenge – and we all know it IS a challenge.

Wordless Wednesday...

So I've decided...

Oh! Kimber just did this over on her blog and I love it...Here is mine!

So I've decided...

To start my 5K training this week.
That taking care of one child is easier than two.
That I complain too much.
I prefer a good book over a great movie.
That my family rocks! (Every one of them...)
My Red Vine addiction is a problem.
That frozen grapes are better than chocolate cake. (Try it!)
To start writing letters instead of emails.
That I hate to talk on the phone.
I like squash.
That you can overcome your Twilight addiction, but why? *sigh*
That I don't miss television.
and like Kimber, I love to go to the movies ALONE.

Lovely!

Wow! I went on my first tubing trip ever last week and it was awesomely COLD! I say this alot, but I have lived in Washington for almost 12 years now and I still have so much to experience. My beautiful friends joined me on this '3 hour freeze your tushy off tour'. And below are the pictures to prove how crazy we were to tube in a snow run-off river...

Above: Jen, Me and Katrina. Check out the beautiful tube tie-down Jen & I did. Picture was taken by Marie...

So the river was a little dried up at the beginning. Loking back thank goodness because I probably would have suffered hypothermia if it hadn't been it was good exercise to get the blood flowing in our soon to be frozen legs and feet.

I was trying to lean back here and NOT be in the picture. Instead I look like I am going to be ill. So this is me, Katrina and Marie...photo taken by Jen.

Ahhhh...the scenery was quite breath taking...


And lastly, this is me after 2 1/2 hours inside my tube...I can't believe the picture is not blurry because there was not a single part of me that wasn't shivering...Ladies- I love you all and I would do this again anyday if I get to spend it with you all.
