New Moon at midnight!

Okay seriously, I love going to the movies. I love going on opening night or opening weekend. I love the crowds and the excitement of fans seeing their favorite story on screen. But nothing even compares to how I felt seeing the mid-night showing of New Moon. I have never been so excited to see a movie in my entire life!!! It is kind of embarrassing how much I love the Twilight saga. If I was a teenager, I guess it would be better, but come on, I'm 32 with three kids for goodness sake! But I don't care, it is so good and just so much fun! I went with a bunch of friends which totally made the experience so much better! I don't know what it is, maybe it's living with a house full of boys, but I had so much fun with the girls and just being silly and letting loose, not having to worry about anything. A big shout out to all my friends made the night sooo much fun and to my hubby who stayed home and took care of the kids. When I got home, he asked me if I had more fun than going to Disneyland. I told him it was the most fun I've had without going to Disneyland. Which, if you know me at all, that's saying something! Yes, I swooned when Jacob took off his shirt for the first time, and yes I cheered when Edward came on the screen.
The YW presidency minus one who is due any day!

Big smiles!

And the other side
The movie passed my expectations and was so so so good! Can not wait until Eclipse comes out in June, just in time for my birthday!

The Destroyers

Peter's AYSO soccer season has ended, and boy am I glad! He had a great time, but it was really really hard to be committed to AYSO and club soccer. He would have two games every Saturday on the opposite sides of town. Throw in Sam's game and his karate practice, and that's what my Saturdays have been like for the past 10 weeks! Peter has really improved his game this year, and has turned into a good player! It is so much fun to watch him!

His team party was at Senior Pepes, we love Mexican food!


Peter receiving his trophy from Coach Steve. He asked his coach for the banner and he gave it to him so now both boys have this years team banners hanging in their rooms.



The Green Giants

Sam's soccer season is over. Mark was his coach and they had lots of fun together. Sam had a great season, he's such a happy-go-lucky guy, he has fun no matter what he's doing. He's also doing karate this year. I think he will do one more year of both and then maybe he'll lean towards one or the other. Doing two different sports is kinda hectic!


Peter giving Sam some pointers at half time


Sam after he got hit with the ball



Such cute friends




Sam (#4) jumping in the air after scoring





Sam's throw in, I love the fact that he is totally over the line, gotta love U-6! But look at his form, a perfect throw in! Kids in Peter's age bracket still have a hard time keeping their hands above their head and their foot on the ground.




End of season pizza party and trophies



Happy guys

The Wild Wild West

Peter's school carnival was a few weeks ago. The theme was the wild wild west, which I loved because I went to West High and that was of course our theme on many occasions. I helped out at Peter's class booth, so I didn't get very many pictures, but the boys all had a great time!Peter playing ring toss
Adam eating a sucker

Sam spent most of his time in the bounce house


He loved it!

For play group a few weeks ago, we went to seriously, the cutest pumpkin patch that I've ever been to. I had a great time taking pictures of Adam and watching him explore the place.


He HAD to carry his pumpkin


So cute, his little face just melts my heart!



picking out his pumpkin




he was very intrigued by this pumpkin!


All his playgroup friends, although he doesn't really play with other kids yet, so there are mommy's friend's kids.


Adam was being shy







I loved this pumpkin patch so much that I HAD to bring all my boys out the next day to take pictures. I also knew that they would love the corn maze and picking out their pumpkin here.

Adam adores Peter and Peter is such a sweet and caring older brother.



Adam enjoyed running around.




handsome boys!



I love this picture of Adam. He looks so big to me!



Sam, my ham!

Sam's big pumpkin!




Peter's big pumpkin!





This place is really so pretty, it doesn't seem like Bakersfield!




The boys loved the bridge.

For Sam's birthday this year, he wanted an Army party. I was really excited to do this one, I am so tired of Star Wars and Thomas. Both boys have wanted these parties many times over the years and I am totally burned out on them. I'm sure when Adam is old enough, he will want them too. sigh..
Sam totally playing the part.

So many boys! They were all good, but so many boys are so LOUD and so WILD!


Cake time!



Getting ready to sing


Sam's big piece of cake





Presents!


Sam's new bike
Sam is such a sweet happy little guy. He is the clown in the family and is always doing something to make us laugh. I'm so glad that he is a part of our family and feel very blessed to me his mom.

Happy 2nd B-day Adam!

My little boy turned 2 Oct. 9th! He loves soccer balls (poor kid, that's all he knows right now) so We had a soccer party for him. We set up some pop up goals in our backyard so the kids could play soccer, and we ate and had a great time. Adam's soccer cake I made
I like seeing men in my kitchen cooking!

I think he was watching the smoke from the candles float up

TOYS!


Adam's new bike!


A sweet kiss for Nana








Trunk or Treat

Our wards trunk or treat was fun this year. I didn't get too many pictures though, because the YW were in charge of the carnival, so I was busy with that. Also my older boys just ran around with their friends all night. I would see them once in awhile doing their own thing. It's really nice that I don't have to watch them, but then I don't get very many pictures of them. Adam actually has his hood on!
Indiana Jones looks lost.

My puppy found candy!
