Black Friday

This was my first time going out on Black Friday and I really liked it. I got Riley and Chris some things I think they will really like and got a lot of good deals. My friends Angie, Aimee, Ricann and I went to Target, Joanns, BabysRUs and Old Navy and it was so fun. It was so fun to go out with friends and not have out kids and just laugh and spend money together. I will often complain about how much I want to be away from Michigan but I really do like my friends I have here. Our kids are so cute together and we all have so much in common.

"Thanksgiving means giving thanks"

That was a quote from my brother when we were younger but it is so true. I just got done reading my few blogs I read and started getting emotional about all of the things people are thankful for. I try to be thankful all year round and am often times not very successful. I am pretty selfish and want a lot of things but I also love giving things to others. I love the holiday season because I have reasons to look for and buy the perfect gift for those I love. I love Christmas. I love decorating my house for Christmas time. I love when Riley says cute things like "Santa love Riley. Jesus love Riley. Mama love Riley. Dada love Riley." and he tells me he wants to sit on Santa's lap and tell him he wants a backhoe. He is loving all of the lights people put up and loves how the stores decorate for Christmas time and will shout "Mama look... Christmas time". I love my family and wish I could see more of them during this time of year.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Twihards unite!!

I love the Twilight series. I didn't think I would like it. It seemed like a silly plot...needless to say I was wrong. I was hooked pretty much from the very beginning. I have heard people complain about various things about the story, but I have enjoyed pretty much everything about the books. I am totally an Edward fan and think he is the best.

When I started seeing previews for the movie I wasn't happy with who they picked for any of the characters and was worried about how true to the book they would be. So, I had kind of low expectations for it and was pleasantly surprised. I loved Edward. I thought his hair was amazing and thought he was pretty much to die for. Bella did a good job and I loved Charlie and Jacob. The footage of Forks was beautiful and liked how true to the book it was. My friends and I made shirts and went to the mid night show. It was so exciting and fun to be there for the first showing. I love my friends. It was so fun and we all pretty much loved the movie. If any of you have seen it I would love to hear your reviews.

Happy viewing. :)

Incredible Halloween

This first picture is of Riley and his friend Leo wrestling at a party we went to that night. Leo was dressed up as the wolfman. Hilarious. Now I guess we know who would win in that fight. Dash's speed is no match for Wolfman's strength. :)



I love Halloween. It and Christmas are my favorites. I love dressing up and always have. Sometimes (actually all of the time) it is a struggle to get Chris to dress up as a theme. This year we were going to do separate ideas but Riley was going to be Dash. As I made his costume Chris decided it looked so good he would forgo his previous idea and would be Mr. Incredible. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to be Elastigirl because I LOVE THAT MOVIE and love her. So we did our at the last minute and it was a big success. These are my favorite ones we have done so far. I am also proud because I did them all by myself. Enjoy.
