TWILIGHT

I'll have to admit I was one of the sceptics not wanting to read the Twilight Series written by Stephanie Meyer. I decided 4 days ago I would pick up the first of four books and see what all the hype was about. Can I just say WOW I'm HOOKED! I read the first two books in three days and just picked up the third book this morning at Barnes and Noble. I went with my friend Holly from my ward with her and her mother and sister. I loved the movie so much. I knew from previous books I had read that the movie was going to be a little different than the book itself. It was still amazing though. I am so obsessed with this love story. I feel so stupid but hey it gives me something to be excited about and look forward to. I'm so glad I finally decided to read these books. I think I'm going to have to go see the movie a million more times NOT EXAGGERATING and then by it on DVD and watch a million more time. Anyways, I can't wait to see what happens in the third book. Wish me luck!

A Fun Day at the Park

Today Veronica and I took the kids to the park. It is the best park in my opinion for our kids age. It is located between Val Vista and Lindsey on 32nd street just south of southern. Anyways, Lexi was being quite daring and decided to go down the big slide head first on her tummy. I thought she was fine till she started crying. She had sand everywhere. Up her nose in her eyes in her mouth in her hair EVERYWHERE. The pic doesn't show how bad it was. It was taken after I had tried rinsing her face off in the fountain. Anyways, the kids had a wonderful time as always. Lexi also tried tying Claire's shoe. SO CUTE!

Halloween 2008

We started Halloween off this year by attending my good friend Stephanie's dad's Halloween party which was so much fun. Then on Halloween day we went to Mother Nature's Farm to get our pumpkins to carve. We then headed off to my parent's ward party which was so much fun. Lucas won best animal costume. He looked so cute in his lion costume. Then we headed home to pass out candy and take the kids trick or treating. We ran out of candy and Lexi was so funny she started to give the kids her Halloween candy. I had to tell her no thats your candy. All in all we had a great Halloween even though we didn't get dressed up like we normally do and decorate our house. I was just too lazy this year and wanted to have a relaxing Halloween.

Our Fun Trip to Disneyland

We went to Disneyland for October Break. My sister and her family were suppose to go but decided not to at the last minute. Chad and I decided we still wanted to go so we left on Wednesday instead of 2 days earlier on Monday. It was very exhausting but well worth it. We had a great time. Here are a few pics from the trip. The people who take the professional pics at Disneyland got the cutest pics of Lexi and Mickey Mouse kissing and Lexi and Sleeping Beauty laughing. I ran out of space on my camera so I will post them as soon as I receive the pics.

6 Month Stats

Weight 19lbs 12 ounces 90th Percentile HOLY COW!

Length 26 1/2 Inches 50th Percentile

I swear Lucas doesn't look like he weighs that much. It seems like all my friends kids look bigger than him. The nurse even said Did I take his weight down right? I was like yeah. She couldn't believe he weighed that much. Well I guess now I have my little butterball since Lexi is so dang petite.
So Luke turned 6 months old on October 7th. Some of the things he is doing is sitting up all by himself. He is very close to crawling. I'm actually surprised he hasn't started yet but don't worry I'm not in a hurry for that milestone. Here are some of the latest pics of my big boy.

The Best Breakfast Restaurant!

So Chad's days off this week were Monday and Tuesday. So Monday morning I woke up thinking it would be nice to go out for breakfast. I called Veronica to ask if she knew of any good breakfast places and she said The Farmhouse in downtown Gilbert. Let me just tell you it was the best breakfast EVER! So any of you that want to eat a YUMMY breakfast go check it out. By the way Lexi ate more than I have ever seen her eat. We ordered her a pancake and sausage. They came out with this cute Mickey Mouse Pancake which had whipped cream on it. I had no idea they were going to make her this fancy pancake. So cute. She ate almost the whole thing. I kept saying to Chad I hope she doesn't puke. Here are some pics from breakfast.
