Twilight!!!
I got a phone call from my Sister-in-law Lucinda and she asked me if I wanted a ticket to go to the opening show of TWILIGHT! Ofcourse I said YES!!! I am so EXCITED to go. I was going to go with either Edyn or Siouxzy (other sister in laws) but both of them are pregnant and are having morning sickness and are very tired. So Lucinda asked me if I knew of anyone that would want to go and so I asked my great friend Amy. Check my blog this weekend to hear my reviews. I am asking you to check back then because I may be too tired to do much tomorrow because the movie starts at 11:59PM. It is going to be a Late Night for all the many fans of Twilight.

Getting ORGANIZED!
This month I have decided that I want to get organized and not a minute too soon. I am about to pull my hair out just because no matter where I look in my life and my home I is MESSY! My wonderful visiting teacher called today and had 2 things to ask me: one was if they could come over Thursday and the other is to tell me she had an answer to her prayers. She told me that she works at the temple in the clothing section and last week she was sitting there and happened to look up. That is when she saw her Marie Ricks, the Marie Ricks of House of Order. My V.T. is friends with her and so she went to talk to her. Previously last month I told my V.T's that I feel unorganized in my life. I haven't been happy and my life is WAY TO STRESSED. Long story short she talked to Marie and she said that she would love to help me get on track and get organized. I am nervous and excited at the same time. Why you asked? Because I feel that I am a lost cause at getting organized and that I am deep down ashamed for how my house and my life and soul are so screwed up. But we will see how it works. If any of you want tips on getting organized check out her website: www.houseoforder.com
Stay tuned to my new adventure...

Our Camping trip to Willow Flats, Idaho
This Summer we decided to go up the Idaho and go camping at a new location. It was a very nice area, Not so sure we will drive up there real soon though. But all in all I really enjoyed myself even though it was rather far to drive. The kids had fun and we even took J.C.(our dog) with us. She loved it.
While we were camping there was a sign that said trail to natural spring, 1/2 miles. We all decided that we were going to go on it. Mind I tell you that my mom had just had knee surgery earlier this spring. It was all up hill and there where no other signs telling you where. We hiked up about a mile and well needless to say we never found the start of the spring, but we had a great nature hike. On the way down, Hayden, Kaeli and my mom found walking sticks. Hayden pretended that he was Yoda and found (well I found it) an awesome stick. Kaeli used hers to hit Hayden. I think that she thought hers was a lightsaber(Hayden is always playing lightsabers with her).
As you can see from the following pics, we made pizza while camping. They were sure yummy! Kaeli sure was dirty, plus I happened to capture her while picking her nose.
We taught the kids about nature this trip. My folks saw a moose and a deer before we got there. The pics of the humming bird is pretty cool. He came and then brought a few of his friend with him. There were tons of squirrels around and no matter how many times you told Kaeli to be quiet, she always chased them away. And then Hayden found the cute little catepiller. Kaeli even held it and didn't try to kill it.
Rilee (my cousin who is 6) came up with my grandparents and spent one night with us. The kids wanted to play in the river (more like a little stream) so they got into their swim suits and stepped in. It lasted about 5 seconds and Rilee had had enough. It was snow runoff. We also tried to fish while we were there but didn't have any luck. Check out my dad jumping from the middle of the river to the side. Our line got stuck so he jumped out there to get it loose, and I snapped this shot just as he was leaping (with a little hope that he would fall in). Just kidding Dad... Love u!

Summer fun @ Mema's and Papa's
This summer just went by so fast! Hayden and Kaeli had fun going up to Ogden, especially when they made money. During South Ogden Days Hayden and Kaeli (ok more like grandpa and Mommy) sold sno-cones and candy. They made a killing. People would walk by and see how much we were selling sno-cones and just keep on walking. Usually 5 mins later they would be back and buy one (once they saw how much they were going for at the park). I can't get over the fact that I have such beautiful kids. They are truely my angels from up above!!

A trip to the park
All summer we have been once a week going to parks or to musuem. The relief society presidency in my ward asked me to come up with field trips that mothers can take their children on. We haven't had that great of a turnout but those who have come have had a good time (I hope anyway). The pics below are of Hayden and Kaeli at Wines park in Lehi. They were having Lehi days at the time and had an in the park boutique.

TRIP CONT...
We finally made it to Vail, AZ where Mark, Julene, Riley, Kirby and Camryn live. We were so happy that we got there safe and especially glad to get out of the car. We were not looking forward to the ride home though. The following pictures are of some of the fun things that we did while down there with them.
New Years trip 07 cont..
Here are some pics from the trip of our way from Vegas to Vail, AZ. Make sure you read the captions!! Let's just say it was a LONG TRIP!!
New years trip 2007
We have in the past gone down to visit Roger's sister Julene and her family over New Years. We decided to go this time (big mistake especially driving in a car with Kaeli). Thank goodness we decided to stop in Las Vegas and visit with my family. Here are a couple of those pics on our way down.
