The movie experience

Friday was girls night out. Some of the lovely ladies from our ward and I enjoyed a evening of dinner and a movie without children. Yep, Mason stayed home with his dad for over FIVE hours. Three of them he was sleeping, but still!!! That's the longest i've left him. I did call and check up...don't worry. Our evening started out at the California Pizza Kitchen. Mmmm...pretty good! Then we were off to see TWILIGHT. Oh how fun it was! We waited in line (with all the teeny boppers), Rushed to get good seets (with all the teeny boppers), and cheered, giggled, oooohd, awwwwd, and sighed (with all the teeny boppers) when our favorite characters came on to the screen. All in all it was a pretty good movie! I'm not too sure about the soundtrack though. Of course the book was better. Don't tell Bowen that. According to him the movie is always better...he just says that to get a rise out of people. We had a lot of fun! It's definitely something that we need to do more often! Afterwards I came home to my loving husband who had not only had put Mason to sleep, but also did the dishes and put away the laundry. Man, I love that guy!!!

Turkey Day is almost here!!!

I'M SO EXCITED FOR THANKSGIVING!!!!!

Well, we're getting ready for that time again...THANKSGIVING! This year we're headed to Alabama to visit Popsy (Bowens dad). All the sisters and thier families will be there too! Yay! It'll be so much fun to see everyone! I hope the plane ride goes smoothly with the little man. This will be the first time most of them have met Mason. We get to meet the newest addition to the family as well, Amelia. She is so adorable! Both Bowen and I are just trying to get alot done at work before we take off so we don't have a pile of things to do when we get back. I'm pretty sure it'll be the case regardless...oh well. It'll be a very nice vacation. Woohoo!

Here is just some random pics that were taken in the past week or so...

Apparently Bowen thought Mason needed a corn chip. This is the face he pulled when he tasted the salt on it.

Can hardly wait!

Yes on 8

I love Sundays! Today was exceptionally great! Bowen and I were volunteered by the bishop to go and hang YES on Prop 8 flyers on peoples doors. Well, we drove to the addresses that were given to us and they were all in gated communities. Not wanting to just give up and not do our political part, we took those flyers and walked around La Jolla putting them on peoples cars. It felt good to know that we were standing for something right and wholesome. For all those that aren't familiar with Proposition 8, I'll give a brief rundown. Prop 8 is a simple and straightforward voter initiative. It contains the same 14 words that were previously approved in 2000 by over 61% of California voters: "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." Because 4 evil activist judges in San Francisco wrongly overturned the people's vote, we need to pass this measure as a constitutional amendment to restore the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman. I never thought that I would be spending my time trying to convince people that marriage between a man and woman is the right way to do things. Gosh! I'm nervous for this election. But even if it doesn't turn out the way we want, we can at least say we contributed. Please, Please, Please...get out there on Tuesday and vote! Ok, that was my political spill for the day. Back to family and good things :) The little man got his 4 month immunizations on Thursday. He wasn't too much of a happy camper the next day and had a fever. So we just took it easy and rode through that little rough patch. Today he was pretty much back to normal. At church he was happy, smiling, and of course, flirting with all the girls. He's such a ham! After church we went to Kari and Dave's house for some lunch and had a Jerky's meeting. I'm getting so excited for this business! So I'm trying to organize the HUNDREDS of pictures that I have on the computer and I came across this video that I'd completely forgot about. It' was pretty funny! Mason sure loves that sheep! I had a cold at the time, so I sound like a man. Oh well.
