What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas!

I like that catchphrase! ;) Sooo... I went to Vegas on the 16th with Mindy, & Cyndi (teachers at my studio) & Kayden (Cyndi's son) and we had the best time! Even with a baby! We went down for a STARS retreat so we did go to some classes and get some learning packed into the trip. Becky came down on Friday and ended up with the flu... ICK! Poor Becky. Anyway... Here are some of the pics from the trip! My philosophy is LIVE IT UP! You never know when your going back! ...at least I don't ;) So we went to The Tournament of the Kings, got our pics with the chip & dale dancers, bought matching jammies, danced our guts out & made very good friends with our GPS unit... "Lowanda".

Kayden was the best kid!

Dancing in the Car

Cyndi... actually working

Becky sick

Who can choose just one??

I'm sad to be leaving "Lowanda" behind

Which twilighter am I???

This was fun! I found this on my friends blog, I guess it describes me pretty much.... ;)

You are intelligent, outgoing & stylish. A true girly girl, you love shopping & makeovers. Although you are a generous friend, you can be coy, tricky & very persuasive in order to get your way. You are known to zone out occasionally during conversations, but your friends forgive you because you are understanding, supportive & know how to throw one heck of a party!

Football... done at last!

Sooo.... Football season for my boys is over!! WAHOO!! Alex did very well. He started getting sick toward the end. And he was really ready for the games to be over too... he said that it would have been nice to win every once in awhile ;) West's team did well also. He played his guts out and turned out to be a pretty good little player. Now he and his buddies have been devoting their Friday's to watching the Cougars play. Ahhh... I remember those days!

The other day my niece Cadee made a phone call to my house. When I didn't answer she left me a perfectly "correct" message. Then Ashlee wanted a turn... It definitely was not up to Bug Bugs standards! I could not stop laughing! I even tried to record it somehow so everyone could hear it! It didn't work so I'm just going to give you the play by play... hopefully it will do it justice. ;)

Glory Days

Here's Stonie Bologna and his buddies Karter & Kyle after a football game last week. They've been loving every min of it... I love my Friday's ;) lol! Really it's been fun to watch but I'm sick of making the trip to town :)

9/11

So I know it's almost a day late but once I realized what day it was I couldn't stop thinking about what I was doing that day... I'm sure most people remember exactly what they were doing. I remember the exact moment... then I went into protect mode and blocked out a lot. I tend to do that when I feel unsafe ;) So I thought I would just write a little about it because it was such a huge part of history.

I remember getting up that morning and I had to run to town for something. Marleigh was only 3 mo. old. Weston was just 4. Alex was in the 1st grade. Trent was at work. It was an ordinary day, nice and sunny, good day to be outside. Amy came over and helped get Mar ready. I even remember the little pink striped outfit she wore from the gap. We loaded up and went to town, I don't remember anything about the trip except that we were at the C Store and Amy said... Someone just said something about a plane crashing in NY. They said it might be terrorists. They said that a couple planes had crashed. I kept thinking... No, it's got to be a coincidence! those things don't happen in America!

Really, the rest from then on was kinda blurry... I think we might have gone to my moms to watch for a min. The more I found out I got sick. I wanted to go get Alex from school. I didn't feel safe. I was glued to my TV for the next 3 weeks or so. I needed all the information I could get. And I remember crying with relief when the president spoke. Anyway... my friend had these stories on her blog of some friends of hers who experienced it first hand. Made me appreciate not living through their scare. But I can totally relate to the feelings of terror... If you get a chance read their story!!
Her story.
His story.

This & That...

My friend took a picture of Marliegh on the first day of school... SoOoO, at least I can remember what she looked like going into 2nd grade. (Thanks Jess)

Other than football, we haven't really been doing a lot! And I've forgotten to take a camera to the games :S. (Note to self... take camera to game) I did however go to a concert last week. lol I won tickets to the Hinder concert... I do like a couple of their songs... so Amy, Candice & I decided to go! SOOOO we went... The first band wasn't too bad (Feel Never Real). Loud stuff that Trent likes more than me. Then Hinder... definitely not a "Family Friendly" concert! Probably should have come home and washed my ears out with soap. lol... Anyway, Amy took off and visited Perry & Natalie. Candice & I people watched! I love people watching... I could do that all day really!!! Mostly we watched the lead singer to Hinder... I hate to say this (sorry Jayce)... But I think he's gay! :S He was definitely friends with his more feminine side ;)

Mar & Iz

No!!! We're not on drugs! Just wide eyed... LOL

Feel Never Real

Hinder Guy... ummm he's ....different

Midnight Sun.... :'(

Ok... so this is probably a dumb post for those of you who don't follow Twilight, but I'm posting it anyway!

If you follow the "Twilight Saga" you probably heard that the Edward book, Midnight Sun, was illegally leaked to the internet. And now she has decided to NOT write the book AT ALL! I am soooo sad! She did post the unfinished manuscript on her website tho if you want to read it.

I watched an interview of her that said that she was only going to do one book of his version anyway... but now that she isn't going to finish it I kind of feel a bit depressed! I want her to at least finish the saga and do all of the others... What I really want is to send her a letter that says how sorry I am that it happened and beg her not to punish her loyal fans, who would never consider doing such a thing, (YES!! I'm a bookworm, nerd right now!) but I haven't figured out how to stalk her yet ;)... so I'm blogging how sad I am. IT CAN'T BE OVER!!! I'M NOT READY FOR IT TO BE DONE!!! I was really looking forward to the Edward book...

Alright... I'm going to curl up in a ball and cry now.... WHAAAA!!

What to blog... what to blog...

So school started yesterday... I'm the worst mom ever and didn't get any pictures! Maybe if the bus didn't come so stinking early! My brain just isn't working that early in the day! At about 8:00 I remembered that I forgot! For yet another year. OH WELL... they made it through the day. Mar's in 2nd, she loves her teacher & her class. Weston's in 5th, he is getting used to the idea of waking up early again. Alex's in 8th, and never gives out to much information. But seems to like it.

Last Friday was the Annual Western Petroleum summer party. They always have a ball tournament, and it seems to be getting more popular as the years go by! I made the boys play this year. They complained at first, but secretly I know they loved it! Right? My Dad umped the game... no one else would and of course he couldn't say no. He just sat in his chair, and I threatened everyone with their life if they did anything stupid that would get him hurt!!! He was mad cause I kept putting up the umbrella. As you can see he didn't keep it there very long. Anyway... it was fun to have one last thing before school started.

The boys are playing football and love it. Alex plays offense, Weston defense. The practices were hard on them at first. Now that they're conditioned it's not so bad...

OH! Funny story... Trent decided to take the boys to Cabellas on Saturday. They hadn't been there yet and he thought it would be a fun little trip. While they were walking through the parking lot two girls, who were driving with their mom, rolled down the window and yelled to Alex that he was hot. Alex just smiled and kept on walking... maybe strutting.. who knows ;). And Weston informed him... "They could have been talking to me you know!" lol... Trent said he had him laughing the whole day.

Andi's Bum... I can't really consider this paybacks tho... She did it on purpose!
