A M A Z I N G ....It's about time!!!

Meg, sitting here eating a snack, looked deeply into my eyes and said, "MaMa...!!!" WhooHoo!!!

Columbus Day

I was actually pretty excited that the boys did not have school today. We wound up going to a "new" park, one of my favorite things to do. I had not been to this particular park before it had been remodeled with knights and sea serpent themes. It was a lot of fun and such a beautiful day! I think, though, that the favorite part of all for the kids was walking to the water's edge and throwing massive rocks into the water and no one telling them that they couldn't because there was no one there to get hurt by the enthusiastic rock throwers.

Twilight Saga series

Angie and Jessica were talking about these books at a recent scrapbook enrichment night. I realize why I don't read more....Once I get into a book it is difficult to have to put it down. I literally had to set limits for myself so that I could fulfill my responsibilities as a mom and wife.

I enjoyed reading the series but as I finished the final page of "Breaking Dawn," I put it down and said to myself, "I am glad that there are no more books!"

There is a link to Stephenie Meyer's website here.  (Okay so I can't figure out how to put it on my page....But the link is www.stepheniemeyer.com.)

The final trailer to the "Twilight" movie is posted and it is really good.

Blogger Stupification

How do you blog when you can't download photos?! There has been so much that has happened that I can only simply state for now in a numerical order because there has been a lot of complaints about blogging again. I am sorry that there are no photos. When I finally find the digital camera cord, I'll start posting pictures.

Speaking of Cousins...

We recently were able to spend some time with our Southern California cousins as well as our local cousins. It is always fun to go to the park with friends. Where is Jacob? He must have been off flying the Batman kite. Sorry about that, Jacob.

Zoo and Museum

What a great place to live! We have great opportunities to go to the zoo and to all kinds of museums. The weather is usually pretty good. And you can do some things with grandmas, uncles, and cousins!

Once There Was A Snowman

While visiting Idaho, the boys were so pleased that they could build a snowman granted there was not a lot of snow to build a very big one. They were so happy with their little creation. Can you tell from their faces?
