Steve did this picture of Brittani with the twilight cast for her birthday- she turns 14 today. Can you believe it? I can't, and I had her!
Happy Birthday Brittani!!

Midnight showing. . . here we come!!

Brittani, Julie, Dawn, Brandi, and I have a girls night out planned for Thursday, November 21, 2008 at 12:01 am, along with about a thousand other crazy girls. Of course, this is the first official showing of Twilight and you better believe that we will be there with our Dr. Pepper IV's!! And...not to mention, our really sparkley, homemade "I Love Edward" t-shirts. And yes, we our in love with a 90 year old fictional vampire! That's just how we roll, you got a problem with that?!?!

Remember when...

In honor of Zachary's 1st Halloween, I had to post this picture. My last two posts have been about him, so I decided to keep it going and continue "the love."

By the way, this was back in the day when I sewed all the kids costumes. I didn't actually sew Zach's, but I put it all together myself. I did sew both Brittani's Jessie costume and Hayli's Minnie costume though.

Another "Zach-ism"

We were at the Fall Festival at the kid's school on Friday and Zach hands me a carnival ticket and says, "Here you go mom... get yourself something nice."

Now when you read this, you have to read it with "an accent" like you're REALLY doing someone a BIG favor. Something like from the 1920's or 30's will do.

That's my boy!

Not to boast or anything, but I just had to share this compliment that Zach gave me today. He was in the shower and asked me to get him a towel for the ground so he wouldn't get it wet. I went and got one and put it on the ground. He said, "Thanks mom, you're the best mom anyone could ever dream of. Who wouldn't want a mom like you." Wow, just for putting down a towel for him to step out of the shower onto! I should do that more often... I didn't even get that kind of praise for staying up with him two nights ago and cleaning up the mess when he was puking!! Man, I just needed to lay down a towel. Who would of thought...

It's the GREAT pumpkin, Charlie Brown...

It was the perfect fall day in usually sunny LA, that we went to the local pumpkin patch/ranch to get our pumpkins for Halloween this year. It was rainy and cloudy and actually the first day in over 6 months that Zach wore pants! (except to church, of course) Now, if you know him at all, you would know that is a grand feat in itself.

We continued our "3rd" annual tradition of going to Lombardi's Ranch with Christopher and Chloe. It was a lot of fun, but dirty, muddy fun too! Chloe looked like Pigpen from the Peanuts when she was done!

Here are the kids being "Headless" in Scarecrow Alley next to their least favorite scarecrow- Hannah Montana! Apparently, it was soooo bad, they didn't dare look!

The happiest place on earth???

Yes, we were at the "happiest place on earth" but you couldn't tell by looking at our faces!!! Wow, I promise we were having fun, I guess Zach and I are just very serious about getting our laser beams onto the targets. We had a bet going about who could get the highest score. I said if I got the highest score he had to be my slave for a day. Zach said that if he got the highest score he got to pick all of the rides we went on after Buzz Lightyear. I guess I would make a terrible slave so he picked something better... Oh, by the way, I won! So, get ready to start cleaning dude!!
