A Song Written For The Twilight movie

My best friend Candace wrote and recorded a song for the new Twilight movie! She is hoping to get it into the hands of the right people so Stephenie Meyer will be able to hear it and select it for the movie soundtrack. It is amazing!! Please go listen and drop her a line of encouragement!!!! Here is the link!!

Saturday

This is my little brother Benson(with Brooky and Austin). We joined the gym that he works at and he is training us. I have been very excited about getting in shape,completely. My goals are to lose 25 more lbs and actually be able to say that I have some upper body strength.





After our first session at the gym we went to my nephew's 6Th birthday party in Chandler at Makutu's Island. That place is huge! I went everywhere the kids did, I was feeling some pain from the gym but climbing up nets and through tunnels and downs slides,it was fun and extremely painful.

Our Holliday Weekend

This is my In-Law's Cabin. It is a home away from home for all of us. The weather up there was amazing this weekend,it stayed in the 60's and 70's and there was tons of rain. Brooklyn stayed with my mom this weekend so Ryan and Austin and I went up. Ryan laid tile in his parent's master bathroom and his Aunt's kitchen while we were there. Austin self entertained himself for the entire weekend! It was nice.





He played on this and dug in rocks and got as dirty as possible.


This looks so uncomfortable but he played cars like this for hours.


And he went for rides with Grandma Fuller.
We had a good time, I really was sad to go. We look forward to the next getaway!

My New Do

I Love it! Thanks Tairi!

Blogging.....

Well, we made it through Austin's first week of school! His teacher said it was a good week. It has been rough at home for him though,he is holding allot in to behave at school and then coming home to let it all out for me. Aren't I a lucky momma ;)?!I am just glad he is behaving for his teacher. He is talking so much more these days. Using new words and even phrases and complete sentences. I know he will improve even more with time and love to watch him grow.

Brooklyn has been loving her 2 and a half hour block alone with me. We are having her screened by the Gilbert School District and will go from there as far as preschool is concerned. She is a big help with her little brother and around the house and we appreciate it.

We are almost completely settled into this house,which is more than I can say for the last house. This one feels more like home. We all enjoy the fact that it only takes Ryan about 15 or 20 minutes to get home from work now. We also really like the area.

I think this is the first year we have actually watched the Olympics. We really like the gymnastics and swimming. Even the kids are enjoying it. I have never been so excited as I am for Michael Phelps. That man rocks!

Austin's First Day of Preschool!

Today is Austin's first day of school! He was so excited and I was so nervous. He goes in the mornings from 8 to 10:30 5 days a week. Ryan and I dropped him off today and he was so excited I had to chase him down to say my goodbyes,that's when my eyes watered,I can't believe how big he is getting. He still feels like my baby. They grow so fast. LOL! On another note I am wishing Austin's teacher the best of luck! With my little monkey added to her group she will have her hands full ;)

A Date!!

So, last night Ryan and I were really needing some alone time,no friends and no kids.We thought about who we could get to take our monkeys last minute on a Saturday night...We really don't have much of a selection in the babysitting department,but thought we would see if my Mom would brave it and take BOTH kids. She agreed to give it a try and I reassured her that if it wasn't working she could call us and we would come get them. We went to a movie(i checked my phone repeatedly) made it throughout the movie with no phone calls! WHOO HOOO!Then we went to Carraba's and shared spaghetti...it was so good :) We got to my moms shortly after 11,she said that the kids had been fine and I was soooo relieved. Thanks mom!
