New Moon Midnight Showing!

Yes, I admit it. I wen to the midnight showing of New Moon. And you know what? I liked it! Expecting it to be a much like Twilight in mockability we were pleasantly surprised with the second movie. And not to mention all the hot half-naked werewolves running around:D

Abby and I met her friends CC and Paige and Abby's sister-in-law Sarah at the theatre around 8pm and we waited for a VERY long time ('till midnight). But we had a lot of fun doing it. We ate our weight in chocolate and Triscuits, read magazines, and decorated "team" shirts. I was team Jacob along with CC, but everyone else was team Edward....traitors.

Abby working hard on her shirt.

The finished product.

CC displays the New Moon "hearts desire" chocolate candies (and her AWESOME Jacob shirt).

Abby does her best K Stew face. I thought she did pretty well.

Page dreams of Robert Pattinson.

You would have to sit in line for 4 hours to understand this madness.

Waiting in line and Abby in her shirt (and baby Helen). I know Abby has more pictures on her camera so I'll have to rope her in to posting them.

I know I shouldn't laugh...

but I saw something pretty funny yesterday as I was driving to my apartment. There is a Burger King just up the street from where I live and as I was stopping at a light I looked over to see a Burger King worker standing on a ladder with a long pole putting up the letters on the advertising board. He was going slowly, carefully reaching up with the pole and the letter was almost in place...when it fell from the pole and dropped to the ground. I watched the poor man in my rear view mirror as he had to climb awkwardly down the ladder with the 10 ft pole and retrieve the lost letter. It was like one of those classic physical comedy moments from a movie. I must have a sick sense of humor but I smiled in pity all the way home.

The results are in....

....and the first banner won! Thanks for all who participated in the poll!

Sailing with Uncle Dave!

September 26 was a day of adventure! My cousin Stephen invited me to go sailing with them and I readily accepted the invite. I arrived at Uncle Dave & Aunt Karen's at 8am ready for some exciting sailing fun.

The boat Uncle Dave took us out on.

It was strange weather - nice and warm but hazy so it provided some interesting shots of the other boats out. I believe there was a race that day.

A somewhat embarrassing shot of me at the helm, and talking apparently.

Ah, to sail.

Stephen and his friend Lauren. She was a lot of fun to talk to.

It was a grand time had by all I think and afterwards I had a craving to watch Captain Ron. Thanks Duncan Fam!

Hee-Haws

What is Fall without a corn maze and a pumpkin patch? Well, this was actually my first corn maze but we had a good time. The Saturday before Halloween Ashley, Sam, Abby, Anthony, Lamoni, and I met at Wendy's for lunch then drove to Hee Haw's. We were a little nervous because it was pouring down rain for a while but it got better when we arrived. Then we went to Sam and Ashley's for chimichangas, pumpkin carving, and the classic "Lost Skeleton of Cadavra."

I like to think that Martin has warmed up to me a bit by now. But for a while whenever I talked to him he gave me this face.

Us by the giant pumpkins. We thought about sticking around until the evening because there was going to be a "Pumpkin Drop." Apparently they hoist one of those pumpkins up with a crane and drop it on a car. Pretty sweet.

This was a giant pumpkin by the entrance.


Abby saw these and jumped right on. However this one was broken. Hence Abby's "what?" face.


We broke the rules and went off the path into the corn stalks to hide out.

Sam and Martin.

The giant hog monster! This thing was huge. I probably stood to the second rail from the top of the fence there. It had some name like Harvey, or Leroy or something. It was just chilling and chomping on a pumpkin.

The beautiful scenery. It had been raining but then it just became gray and chilly. All in all it was a good time:)

I Have a Question.

I need you help! I decided to put a new banner up on the title of my blog and I can't decide which picture to use. Please decide which one you like best and select your choice on the poll to the right. Thanks!

Week in Photos is Finally Here!

The week in photos is finally here! I know all you followers have been anxiously waiting.

Wednesday 10/28 - A few weeks ago we passed by a house with a sign that said "Free Kittens." I suggested we just pull over and take a look. The rest is history. I named her Maya but some people think she should be renamed Chupacabra or Xibalba.

Thursday 10/29 - The bestest birthday present ever! Grandma S took us out for dinner at Spaghetti Factory and Mom and Maddie came up for the night as a complete surprise!

Friday 11/30 - Nothing too exciting this day except my friend Diana at work made pumpkin shaped cookies and gave them to us. She is so awesome:)

Saturday 10/31 - As part of our Halloween celebration Lamoni and I carved our pumpkin. Pumpkins are one of my favorite parts of Fall. Then we dressed in our costumes and went on campus to dance and watch a scary movie.

Sunday 11/1 - No picture. I fail.

Monday 11/2 - Feliz Dia de los Muertos! To celebrate Day of the Dead we bought Pan de Muerto.

Tuesday 11/3 - Abby and I had some fun shooting pool at the local bowling alley. Then to honor a time old tradition we got fake tattoos afterwards. Then I went to the Limons and Moises had made a delicious cake and a balloon sign to celebrate my late birthday and the birthday of a friend.

Week in Photos Update

Ok, I know I said that I would do a week in photos. I have done it but I currently have no way to get my photos on the computer. I will be able to put them on this weekend so no worries! I know you are all anxiously waiting for the genius photographing of my thrilling life. Just be patient...it will come.
