Guilty

I feel a little bad that I have told Natalie to read the books - I hope she doesn't let it take over her life like I did for a week. But on the other hand - I am so glad I waited to read them till they were all out - It would have driven me bonkers to wait for the next one and the next one and the next one....I would have been one of those people I make fun of - going to Barns and Nobel at midnight waiting for the release of the Breaking Dawn.....Thank goodness I didn't have to do that!

DONE

I have finished the Twilight series. And I loved it! Starting on Friday - and finished today (Wed) at about 3:00. Thank you Merrill for watching the boys. and feeding them and doing the laundry and cleaning the house!

I cant wait for the movie - even though the could have found someone better - more hot maybe - (we will see after the movie is out) for Edward.

Here are some pictures of the boys Sunday in their church clothes...I think they are too cute.

We had to get Braxton a suite for Jessie's wedding - so we got one for Merrick too....who could pass up a $15 outfit - complete with tie and vest?!

And our humming bird feeder - They are everywhere! They fight over it every day. Merrick will start yelling "umming bir" and we will look out - and sure enough - there is a bird getting a drink....they love it!

Twilight

I have started the series. I read the 1st book yesterday (started at about 2 and finished at 12:30) I think Merrill was a little bugged - so I wont read all day today to finish #2....but I wish I could! Did anyone else cry at "The End" I'm glad Merrill wasn't home when I did. I cant wait to see what happens!!! For those who are wondering - I will find out if I'm having a boy or girl at the end of September (around my birthday!) I will post AS SOON AS I KNOW!

Who would want this?

I want to know who voted to sweat Nacho Cheese on my poll. Please come forward.

Pre-School Treasures

Braxton has been in school for 3 weeks now (we missed the 2nd week because of the wedding) and he is really liking the sand box. Today he got in the car and told me that he found me some treasures in the sand box today. I asked to see them, but was told I had to wait till we got home. We always go outside to take off the shoes (because of the SAND) and even then he wouldn't show me. We had to come inside so they wouldn't get "lost in the grass". Here are his 'treasures'.

I can't wait to see what he finds me tomorrow!

Braxton on the way home from the wedding

We have been in California for the last week. Got back Sunday night after a long 8 hour drive - BY MYSELF! I know - I'm amazing. Braxton was the ring barer in my cousins wedding. It was too funny to watch him walk up with the rings and stand there while Ryan's brother tried to get them un-tied (I had done a double knot so they wouldn't get lost). If you are wondering about the shirt being un-tucked.....I tried to tuck it, but Ryan stopped me - "it looks awesome!" So it got left how Braxton (and Ryan) wanted it.

We were there a week - so you know we did other stuff, but I don't really want to go in to it. Just know we had a good time - went to the beach and the farmers market and a GREAT Thai place.(Thank you Craig!)

It was a good week, but we are glad to be home and back to our schedule.

The Way They Talk

I love the way kids talk. Braxton has one that I have been getting giggles

out of for about 2 weeks. When ever playing Mario Kart, he talks about

how he is going to get a "rocket bullet"

And this will help him win the "Pissen Cup"
