Girls Night Out - Twilight Style

So as the entire world knows, the Twlight premier was this past Friday, 11/21. We had our Girls Night Out for this event and even had shirts made up for it. "Yea I know, we're dorks. Anyway, we had a great time as usual. Despite the horrible service at the Olive Garden and was ended up being a huge disappointment with the movie, we still managed to have a great time. I am trying to be optimistic that with a better budget, a little less over dramitazation with the facial expressions and a learning experiences under their belt, the next movie in the series will be much better. Here are some pics from our night out!

My kids are too cute!

Grayson is obsessed with looking like his father. Although, Heath doesn't wear sweater vests so I guess I am to blame for that one. I picked up him new holiday clothes this past week and decided to let him break in one outfit. He was so excited, all the way down to the socks and tie. He wouldn't pose for the camera but you get the idea. He would wear these kind of outfits everyday if he could.

My little punky just loves her new boots and mommy just loved this skirt. Who says you can't find cute stuff at consignment stores! Lauren loves to put pretties in here hair and wear jewelry. I LOVE IT TO!!! She is my human dress up doll. And of course has no problem smiling for the camera. (I am probably creating a monster).

Happy Annivesary To Me

Today 4 years ago my wonderful man and I were traveling to the Oakland Temple with the most incredible family and friends to get MARRIED!!!!!!! M-A-R-R-I-E-D!!!! Next to bringing my twins into this world, is one one of the most amazing days of my life! We were so fortunate because Heavenly Father had not only answered our prayers by allowing our paths to cross but Heath had realized what quite a catch he was getting to. :) It had been raining off and on the week before our wedding and if anyone knows the bay area, if it's cold or overcast in Sacramento, you can bet on worse weather by the ocean. Once again the big man upstairs new our concern and opened up the skies! IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! We couldn't have asked for better weather from Friday through Sunday. We were married on a Friday, had our reception on Saturday and then prepared for our honeymoon Sunday. Monday morning it rained like cats and dogs!

I wanted to let Heath know (if he ever checks this freakin blog) that he is the most incredible thing that has happened to me. And he better since it's 6am and I felt inspired to type this post now. He has taught me so much in the short few years we have been together. We have grown together, made a few mistakes together and learned so much from each other. But most importantly we laugh together! We will have no time for ourselves today as I will be running kids around all day, taking care of home duties, going to dance classes, having our temple recommend interviews and trying to squeeze dinner in there somewhere. But just knowing Heath is there is all I need. I have tried over the recent years not to place so much emphasis on the monetary things in life anymore, not worry about having all the latest and greatest trends on the market, but knowing that I have my eternal companion is all I will ever need. I LOVE YOU HEATH!!!!

Here is a little walk down memory lane with some of our "firsts".

Sad and disturbing

Please take a few minutes to watch. Very worth your time and sad to say the least that someone could have such a blatant disregard for human life. This man makes me want to vomit.

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween. We went to the hospital for Trick or Treat Street and then came back home to make the rounds through the neighborhood. The kids had a great time but as usual, Grayson was a bit reluctant to approach the doors at first. Lauren and the girls couldn't get there fast enough. After a while he warmed up then had a blast. When the person would let the kids pick their own candy, the twins would take FOREVER. It was hysterical. Here are some cute pics from our evening.

Carving Pumpkins

The night before Halloween we decided we better carve out pumpkins. Everyone was really excited until just after dinner time. The twins had been fighting off a bug for a couple of days and Grayson was just pooped out on the couch running a fever. Lauren was on a suger high and about 5 minutes after dinner, I think Braxton realized she to had consumed way to much sugar that day and was getting ready to pay for it. Most of the work was done by daddy, Darrian and Lauren. I am not a fan of scooping out the insides of the pumpkins but put my carving technique to work with Lauren. Heath had to carve Graysons pumpkin and Darrian was proud to say she did hers all by herself. Here are pics from our evening.







The end result.
