Photo Shoot

Last week I was lucky enough to have 2 friends let me practice on them and their kids. My kids get tired of always having me take pictures and it has been awhile since I have had little ones. I forgot how challenging it can be to get a smile out of them sometimes.

Wendy and her son were so much fun. He has the prettiest eyes.

Olivia and her kids were also hilarious. It wasn't until we were almost done that the relaxed and forgot the camera was around.

Thanks girls, I really hope you and the kids had fun.

Sea World

Sunday we took the kids to Sea World for the day. With Thanksgiving break that week we thought this would be a good time to go. I like visiting Sea World when it's cooler because it never seems to be a crowded, plus the kids don't want to be cold so they stay out of the wet zones.


As a treat I surprised them and made reservations to dine with Shamu. They have been wanting to do this for awhile. If you ever get the chance it is something you should try and do. The boys loved that our table was right on the edge of the pool and we were able to just sit and watch him swim by. The trainers were there telling us about different things and answering questions.

In the video one of the whales was being a little troublemaker, he caught a bird that was flying around.

Need some good energy

I am asking for prayer, good vibes, or whatever else you believe in.
Last night I found out that my friend Tina's Brother-in-law was involved in a very bad accident.
He is a Fontana police officer who was hit by a car while on the job. He is surrounded by family and fellow officers offering support, but they can still use all your positive thoughts right now also.
When you hear about these things it just kinda throws you for a loop.

Twilight

You all know that I love twilight. I am reading the last book and hope to finish it by this weekend. I have closed my ears to any talk about what happens so the way the story has gone has really surprised me. I should have seen them coming but I didn't.
We got to the theater an hour before the movie started. Found pretty good seats among a sea of teenagers screaming "Team Edward" or "Team Jacob" I got a little worried but the screaming stopped and only a few times it resumed. I really enjoyed the movie. It followed the book almost exactly( notice I said almost). I think the big thing you need to remember going in is that it didn't have a huge budget so if you are expecting something like Harry Potter you will be disappointed. My boys LOVED it. We walked out with them both saying I gotta read the books that was so good. Hello I had been trying to get you to pick up the book for a few weeks now. So they got home an started reading. There is really nothing better then seeing kids excited to read and that is what this series has done so congrats to Stephanie Meyer for giving that to our kids.

Sandra Tagged Me

I've been tagged... by Sandra! OK, you need to post the 4th picture in the 4th folder of your picture files( or if your a MAC owner like me the forth album in IPhoto). I was tagged by Sandra to post & tell about it, then tag 4 more friends to do the same. Here is my picture

This is from our trip in 2007 to Washington DC. We had just parked the car and getting ready for the miles and miles of walking we were about to do, little did we know that halfway through we would be stuck in a rain storm out of nowhere.

I am now tagging Tammy , Olivia, Cherish and Priscilla

Laguna Beach

We headed to the beach for this years Christmas Card pictures. I was a little worried because I wasn't sure how the fires nearby would affect the air. The winds were blowing in our favor. I pulled out the good old tri-pod and clicked away.

Carrie Underwood Concert

Last night we took the boys to see Carrie Underwood. They just built a new arena close to us and she happen to be the first to perform in concert. The boys had fun but towards the end Hunter looked like he was ready to crash. That is one thing about my boys, when they are tired it doesn't matter what is going on around them they will sleep. I couldn't allow that so I pulled Hunter up and started dancing around with him. She totally deserved to win American Idol she is so talented. I had a few goose bump moments and all my boys have a little crush on her. Yes I said all of them even Daren. I also really liked her opening act Little Big Town. But the Bon Jovi concert still holds the number one spot for the year.

Dear lord give me strength

This is what happened just a few short days after turning 18. My beautiful little girl has permanently and forever marked her body. I was really hoping that the one she tried to sneak by me just months before turning 18 on her foot would satisfy her and she would wait awhile but as you can see that didn't happen. I knew she was thinking about getting something, I just didn't think it would be so big. At least I can be happy she went with something pretty and once it is finished it will look nice and not all scary and gross. I just pray that this will be it and she doesn't get all crazy and go for more. Not that I don't like tattoos or anything, I mean I have 2 myself. I just think that some people go overboard. I will say that after looking at it closely it is pretty and she is lucky to be able to say that she she got inked by Kat.

Halloween treats

Hope everyone had fun either trick-or-treating or staying home giving treats. My boys wanted no parents following this year so they got a group of friends from the neighborhood together and off they went. Me and Daren stayed home as requested and gave out candy but a few other parents weren't quite ready to give that much freedom so they did end up with some tag-along parents. They ended up coming home with a pillowcase so heavy and full of candy.
