Happy Feast Day

Yesterday the girls had Feast Day at their schools.

Gianna was happy at first...

Until she noticed the food...
In her words..."The food is yucky!"

Julia liked her food of course. She's a happy pilgrim!

Twilight: The Movie

Well....drumroll...it was AMAZING! It absolutely did not disappoint me (or Shirl for that matter). In fact, I'm simply giddy right now. I want Edward to fly in my window tonight and BITE ME!!! Oh my goodness. He was THE perfect Edward. I kept telling myself that the movie was no way going to be as good as the book. But honestly it was! The movie stayed true to the book which I loved. It was funny too! I can't wait to see it again...and then again and again on DVD! Oh what fun!!! Can't wait for New Moon to be out now! It made enough money so they can make the next one! YIPPEE!!!

I told you...I'm simply giddy over Edward right now. Sigh...

not so LUCKY

Our poor little baby boy. And we're not talking about Nicholas. We're talking about our baby #1, Lucky.

We're not exactly sure what happened although it was probably a cat fight.

The other night he jumped off the couch and limped away. We thought it was his leg. He hid under our bed all night and wouldn't come out in the morning. We finally got him out with some cat treats. Upon further inspection, we discovered he had these horrible wounds on his side. Poor kitty! He ran back under the bed. I somehow got him out later on in the day and took him to the vet. They had to put him out and sew up his wounds.

He came home last night with one of those cones around his head. What a nightmare that was! He was freaking out. He had two "accidents" in the house last night too which has never happened before. We weren't angry at all because it was the first time in over thirteen years (since we found him) that he's had an accident in the house. He was just confused and really out of it with that thing on his head. The vet said to keep it on for a week but there was no way that was happening. We finally took it off this morning. He seems a lot better with it off and not licking his wounds at all. Poor kitty cat.

I Will Be Here

Tomorrow morning if you wake up

And the sun does not appear

I will be here

If in the dark, we lose sight of love

Hold my hand, and have no fear

'Cause I will be here

I will be here when you feel like being quiet

When you need to speak your mind

I will listen

And I will be here

When the laughter turns to cryin'

Through the winning, losing and trying

We'll be together

I will be here

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up

And the future is unclear

I will be here

As sure as seasons are made for change

Our lifetimes are made for years

So I will be here

I will be here

And you can cry on my shoulder

When the mirror tells us we're older

I will hold you

And I will be here

To watch you grow in beauty

And tell you all the things you are to me

I will be here

I will be true to the promise I have made

To you and to the One who gave you to me

As sure as seasons are made for change

Our lifetimes are made for years

So I will be here

We'll be together and I will be here

Happy Happy Birthday Mom!

She's happiest when surrounded by those she loves...

She looks better with each passing year. How is that possible you ask? Because she knows the secret to staying and feeling young. She spends her time doing what she loves to do. Her hobbies, her interests, her music, her family, her friends, her animals. That's the key to looking and feeling WAY younger than you are.

She's one happy camper that one.

Smiles for a Gloomy Friday

A door and a bed...

The door dance...

The bed dance...

They actually didn't do this dance which was a bummer...

Joshua and Katee were magic as usual...

He was simply fantastic....and adorable.

The show was so good, worth every penny, and very funny too!
