Twilight

Saturday my Sister-in-law, Teanne and I went and saw Twilight together. It was a lot of fun. Ofcourse we had to go to Cafe Rio first! Teanne has NEVER been and looks like I made another Cafe Rio fan.

We had so much fun. It is kinda weird that Teanne and I have never really had a girls night out. We hang out with the family or we will have play dates with the kids, but we never went out alone before. It was so much fun and we found we had more in common than we knew. I hope we will continue having girl's nights out Teanne! I know neither of us get them enough!

We were able to find a lesser known but great theater. Sorry I cannot give the info out, because the regulars wanna keep it little known. So it was a huge relief that on a saturday there was just a group of four ahead of us an hour before the movie! So we sat and chatted about what else, but Twilight and Stephenie Meyer!

Now for my take on the Movie. I really liked it. I didn't like it as much as the book, but I did like it. I think I expected too much though. I had to remind myself how hard it had to be to write a 2 hour script out of a 500 page book. I liked most of the beginning, but thought they sped the plot up too fast, and left out some crucial things. Nothing is ever as good as reading a book though...especially Twilight!

I did love how the last half of the movie was played. I felt like the moment Edward took Bella to meet the Cullen's that he seemed like Edward and the chemistry was perfect. I think from then on the movie was like I imagined it. I LOVED the baseball scene.

I think they chose the cast very wisely. Bella and Charlie were portrayed well. Carlisle was perfect. I loved Jasper's pain look, that cracked me up. Edward was great and Alice was perfect. She had the look and the voice I imagined.

By the end of the movie I didn't want it to end. I loved how they tied the end into New Moon. I really am positive that New Moon will be way better. They will have a bigger budget and the characters are developed so no akwardness.

This is a video that gives me some hope for 4 years from now

I just saw this video on faebook. I belong to a Mitt Romney 2012 group. I hope that after things get so screwed up and twisted to the left direction that people will see that we need someone like Mitt for president. He has Values and what is best for the country in his heart. He wants America the way it should be, united and holding up the constitution.

So here is the Mitt Romney 2012 video I wanted to share:

Halloween 2008

I finally downloaded our Halloween pics. Last week was so busy. I had something going on everyday, sometimes quite a few times a day. I have a few more post to add due to the busy week, but that will come later.

As some of you know, Dawson is a die-hard Star Wars fan. I was a bit nervous when I asked him what he wanted to be for Halloween. His answer was General Grievous??!! My first that was "ummm...okay...why??" and then "How on earth would I manage to make that costume? It would entail a lot of time I don't have. Finally, I was able to talk him into Anikan. His costume is the only one I didn't make. Long story. He does want to be Jengo Fett (sp?) next year. I have a whole year to figure out how to do that one atleast.

Emmalee being the type that wants to follow along with Dawson on just about everything decided to be Princess Leia. I got a bunch of FREE material from a sweet lady in my ward last year and so that is why Emmalee's material isn't exactly Princess Leia'ish. It was free so it worked, lol. Emmalee could care less anyway. I just used a cloak pattern and bought an embellishment to tie it. Her hair was tricky. I tried using a styrofoam ball cut in half, with braided curtain embellisment on it, attached to a headband, but it was too heavy and looked clunky on the ehadband. So I put her hair in piggies and too small sections of hair and rolled it in to curls and pinned it in place.

I decided that Peyton would make the most adorable Yoda. Yoda was so easy. His cloak was suppose to look homeade so I did a blind cute on some folded fabric, sewed the sides together and frade all the ends. Mike has all his old draftimg stencils from school and so I found triangles. I cute smaller triangles out of cardboard and 4 just a bit larger in fabric. Then I sewed the cardboard in the fabric and somehow made a hood. It was a bit mishapen, but oh well. He only wore it for a whole 2 minutes anyway.


I had no time to make my own costume so on Halloween I went as a frazzled housewife. Mike went as a chain killer...nice, huh?? lol.

Here are the pictures of our Halloween fun!

Anakin Skywalker


Princess Leia


Attempts at taking pictures of Yoda. He is a fast little critter and a bit camera shy.

We had a blast. Now I just need to get this candy out of my house. It has sabotaged my diet!
