Twilight

I'm sure most of you have read or heard of this book series...which I decided to read to prove how silly it was- I didn't like Bella's attitude...but liked it enough to see how it ended. Now, in no way was I CRAZY about this book. But I knew a lot of people who were... in fact, one family member bought out a theater to see the movie, and another took her kids to the midnight showing! I never did see the movie while in theaters. Mostly because while talking to a friend I was told that they didn't stay as true to the book as I would have hoped. (for time's sake I guess...) and when I saw who they'd cast as actors I was a tad disappointed in a few choices.

Well after all the rave I decided I'd see the movie when it came out, and my husband and I jokingly decided I should go at midnight to walmart to get it. (I also did this with batman) THERE WAS A LINE! A billion teens stood in line for this movie, and since I've never really done so for anything, I decided to join in- knowing walmart surely wouldn't run out of the film. An hour later after hearing all sorts of feedback I purchased my copy and headed home a little flabbergasted. I couldn't think of many things that were that trendy in my day that I actually bought into... maybe a boy band or too... but this was like T-shirts and jewelry and all kinds of swag... I am amazed still at how much money a few parents ahead of me dropped on twilight crap for their kids!

Anyway- I had to find out if it was the rave as soon as I got home... and I had one thought: would I have known what was going on if I hadn't read it? I mean they never even introduced the names of 1/2 the friends...or more about his family... am I thinking of later book material?? Idk.
Either way...

Oh. and another funny thing. You know how you really don't know how you sound to everyone else? Well during the movie, I mentioned that Bella had a non-femine voice, to which my sister and husband looked at each other and started laughing. Thanks. I guess I have a dude voice. Lol.

encore!

Teeny and his million dollar smile

I found him napping like this the other day... nice. he looks like he's either praying... or completely sobbing: punished. when I tried to move his arms, he didn't have that, he stayed that way for the whole 4 hour nap!


one of my favs... he's in the middle of a cute conversation.
"ungh" is the most often heard... that and a squeal!

here ya go.

I've gotten quite an earful about not posting enough pics... here are some random pics of Little Boy! hehe

He's such a happy baby... he giggles all the time now!

when we get up in the morning, he waits on the couch for 'breakfast'... this is how I usually find him, he likes to lounge.

"UGH."- he has that worn out look. cute little man!

and this is just the sweet innocent face I get when he's tired!

how could you not love that face?

We love you "leeda"!

grunt. (a ticked off tuesday moment)

Ok. So here's my adventures for the week so far-

M'Adam is out of town :( so I've had to take over project: BACK LAWN. I'm outside a lot these days... getting wet.
I try to walk the dogs everyday, or every other day or at least let them out to run in the large part of the yard... but with my honey gone, and grass down that you can't walk on, I didn't quite know how a walk was going to get pulled off...the dogs can be a handful alone, and having to use one hand to guide the stoller seemed impossible. Normally one of us takes the stroller (LB hates the "snugli") and the other both dogs, or he'll just stay home with LB. So today, after chickening out yesterday, I decided I'd better big girl up and do it... poor dogs. So I go out after getting LB ready and sitting in the stoller on the side of the house to get the dogs who are very excited to see me. I go into the pen, leash one and while I'm leashing the other- the first dog jumps on me (a habit we're trying to break him of) and knocks me off balance. I land on BOTH dogs in the mud and the only part of me that doesn't hit dog, is the butt cheek with my cellphone in the pocket of, ready to break my fall... I think the implant is still there. Anyway I try to keep my cool REALLY glad I'd decided not to put LB in the hated snugli (it's like a kid front pack), but the dang dog jumps on me again as soon as I got up- so my feet went flying in circles, kicking at anything close enough to get hit (neither dog, but the kennel and gate) apparently that was all I had to do, look nuts, cuz they were practically perfect for the rest of the walk...strangers included. Beasts. Oh yeah- I need a new cell phone.
AND I rented Beowulf. I didn't like it. The whole computer thing threw me off...was I watching people or Shrek? If you have the actors anyway...why waste the movie with creepy computer crap?


I know I know pictures. I'll post a billion in a few days- honest.

I'm becoming my father...

my dad used to take me out to the farm a lot to 'help'... yeah- like picking snails off orange trees, or supervising the truck. YAY. lol - He always had an UGLY straw hat of some sort, which was in likeness to the one HIS father wore on the farm, and big sun glasses.
when M'Adam and I decided to work on the yard, I thought we needed some trees...so a few valencia orange trees came home (hardest to kill, sweetest juice). I also got a plum tree and started a few seedlings of everything from corn, to lettuce, onions and melons...I can't wait! well, M'Adam buys me this gardening hat... really funny straw thing...and as I was out watering and cultivating my 'crops' with bare feet and ugly hat I thought "CRAP". I'm becoming my father.

Love you Dad!!
