Vampires, Dinosaurs, Birthdays... Oh My...

Wow what an eventful weekend... Here are the highlights.. On Friday the Twilight movie came out, my sister-in-law Tammy was able to get tickets through her work, and invited me and my friend Casey to go... We decided to make a night out of it and went to dinner and did a little shopping beforehand(thanks Casey).... Then it was off to see Twilight.. I have read the first 3 books and am working on the last book, but I wouldn't consider myself an "addict". I really enjoyed the books so I was up for the movie... It was a good movie, kinda "out there" in parts, but good. I still think the book was much better... I guess that is always the case with movies vs. books though... In the end it was a fun night out, and I am glad we went.. Thanks Tammy for hooking us up with tickets...

Saturday (Troy was off.. YEAH), we decided to take the kids to do something fun... So we headed south... We were thinking of going to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point, and since we were going to be south we decided to eat at one of our favorite restaurants down there, the Brick Oven.... An absolute MUST if you are ever in the Provo/Orem area... So we went down there (on the BYU campus) to eat some lunch.. It was fantastic, as always... It was pretty funny one of the waiters there was totally decked out in his Utah shirt(kinda brave of him, GO UTES!!)...

Then it was off to the museum.. I had forgotten how cool it was... The kids loved it.. Definitely worth it, and so nice to spend some time with Troy... He watched the game that night, us girls shopped... Fun Fun day....




Sunday we celebrated Jaden's birthday.. I can hardly believe this little guy is turning 2... Where did the days go? Some of my faves about Jaden..
1- The way he speaks his own language, Jadenese as we call it...
2- His byes and Hi's, sound like he is from the deep south...
3- His love for his sister and his brothers, nothing is better than a big squeeze from him...
4- His darling little smile... Melts my heart.
5- His sweet but sometimes a little spunky personality.
6- His cute little facial expressions, crack me up every day.
7- His overall good nature, love that about him..
We are so blessed to have him in our family, he makes our little family complete. I am so thankful for all of my kids and that Heavenly Father has trusted me enough to make me their mom.... Love you Jaden, Happy Birthday...
