I am grateful for...

FAMILY!!  

This was Matthew's answer at preschool.  Isn't he the cutest?  I thought for sure he would say Wii. 

We had such a great Thanksgiving weekend spent with family!  Amy, Brien and their adorable little boy, Colin drove in from San Diego to visit.  We ate lots of food, laughed many times, suffered through the absolute worst Christmas movie ever (which is saying a lot coming from me), watched Twilight...twice, that makes a total of 3 trips to the theater for this movie (and yes, it gets better with each viewing), took family pictures, and went to temple lights.  

Seriously, where's my baby? 

Have you ever seen cuter brothers?  

I love how uncooperative James is being and Matthew doesn't break focus at all. 

Cousins!  These guys had so much fun together.  Come back soon Colin.

Hope you all had a great holiday spent with family!

Hair, Lunch and a Movie

*Sorry, Mom, I darkened my hair.  I was tiring of the root upkeep.*  

So Saturday finally came around and us girls had a blast.  We went to the cutest salon and got our cut/washed/styled.  An hour and a half later, yep you read that right (Amy, center, must have extremely perfect hair now, each strand snipped to the exact length she asked for) we were ready for our next stop, Cafe Rio.  We had a delish lunch and headed over to our final and most anticipated stop... 

TWILIGHT!  

*Warning*Do not read on if you have yet to see the movie.  Although I liked the movie, I didn't love it (some cheesy moments), but after more time passes I like it more and more.  Kristen and I are planning on seeing it again, which I have heard from the girls in my Laurels class is a good idea.  So I'm hoping to love the flick by the end of this week.  

Thanks gorgeous girls for a fabulous afternoon.  I couldn't have asked for better company!

U Dazzle Me!

I really tried hard not to write about about a certain book on this blog, but I am giddy with excitement for tomorrow.  

TWILIGHT. 1:20 PM.  GIRLS ONLY.  

When I was waiting for Matthew to come out of preschool today, on the back window of his teacher's car "U DAZZLE ME" was written on the dusty glass.  My heart started to race and my stomach dropped.  For a movie.  Sad?  You betcha.  But I can't help the excitement.  And I have a feeling I am not alone.

 With that being said, I have one request for you, Mr. Rob Pattinson.  DAZZLE ME.  

See you tomorrow, girls!
