Eclipse!!!!

Ahh..the day I have been waiting for since last November...

the premiere of ECLIPSE!!!

We bought tickets 2 months ago for the TRILOGY on opening night!

7:15 Twilight

9:30 New Moon

and

12:01 Eclipse!

ALL in the SAME seat!  LOL

Me and 9 of my girlfriends bought tickets and were super excited!

I even let my "Team Jacob" friends sit with me!  ha

We (well, part of our group) got to the theater at 4:30 to get in line! (and no we weren't anywhere near the front of the line!)

There were people with sleeping bags, pillows, homework, dvd players all camped out for the midnight showing!

Crazy twi-hards!!!

I was glad we atleast got to sit in a cushioned seat instead of on the floor!

Once we got in our seats they were giving out door prizes!

Then the manager walked up and down the isles throwing t-shirts!

LOOK what I caught....

(no young teenagers were physically hurt (maybe a little mentally) during the catch, but I cant promise that this almost 30 year old didnt jump when I saw it coming!)

I mean...I just had to have it!

On the back it says

"It all began with a choice

6-30-10"

Oh I think I have a problem!  lol

All in all, I was there from 5:30-2:20..just a little shy of 9 hours!

I was very surprised in the age groups of the people!  It definitely was not only a bunch of teeny boppers! ;)

Here is Natalie (Team Jacob) and I (Team Edward)

waiting for the first movie to start! 

It was truly such a fun night with the girls...

I dont want to ruin anything for you "not true" fans who havent even seen the movie yet, but I will say,

you WILL NOT be disappointed!!!

It was so good and I cant wait to see it again on Friday night!

Dont judge...a girl can never get enough Edward!!!

I am going with some of my blog friends and am really looking forward to just seeing Eclipse! By the time midnight came around, I feel like I might have missed a little of it!


What did you think of the movie, or do you think I'm just a total nut case?!?!

Girls Night Out x2!!!

I am really lucky to be surrounded by some awesome friends!  I am also lucky to have a wonderful mom and Mimi who love for

Landon to spend the night! lol

Therefore, I had a few nights to have a girls night out!

My best friend, roomate, more like a sister...Crystal

The Russell girls

PTA moms rock ;)

I met these girls through Landons school and we have become great friends!  Even though 2 of them wont be there next year, I know we will remain close!!

The girls...they are so awesome!!

Then the next week, we all had tickets to see the Black Eyed Peas!!!

Crys, me, Vic, Christina and Sharice enjoying a night with no kids!

Just because we didnt have kids, didnt mean we passed up the oppurtunity to go see the animals!

Look at all the cute piggies!!!

Good ol longhorn!

Crys and Bryan

You see, we bought these tickets online months ago and they only had the cheap tickets left.  I'm used to having pretty good seats when I go to the rodeo, but we figured, why not!  Lets buy them anyways!

Little did we know, we were LITERALLY the last row in the VERY top section!  That was the wall behind us!  Thank goodness for screens all over the place, because Fergie could have been an impersonator and we wouldnt have known!  lol

So sad rodeo season is over, but I had such a good time at Dierks Bentley, Jason Aldean, and the Black Eyed Peas!!!

Dont miss my "Mommy & Me" post below!
2 posts in one week, and if all goes as planned, there will be one more!
I'm on fire!  lol
9 DAYS UNTIL DISNEYWORLD!!!

Family Reunion in Hope, Arkansas!

Its hard to believe our reunion was a month and a half ago!  We had such a wonderful time in Hope and look forward to going back to visit!  Small towns are fun to visit, but I sure could not live there!

Nana and Landon

Landon and his great grandpa..Papa!!

Mom and Papa

Some old pictures from our previous reunion.  The last time I was there was when I was pregnant with Landon!

Lindsey and I

The boys playing football!  Landon felt right at home!  ;)

Aunt Barbara, Aunt Lane and my mom!

Of course we had to visit the Clintons gravesite.  The whole time is cover in Bill Clinton stuff!  lol  My mom actually went to the same day care (years later) as Bill Clinton did!  Oh the things to be proud of!  ha

The family!!! 

I'm smack in the middle and Landon is the 2nd kid from the right!

The Ray side!

(Olivia is right next to Landon in the front!)

My pumpkin!

Crazy monkeys!  Landon, Olivia (in the middle), and our other cousin.

So there you have it! 

Thank you all so much for your sweet messages, comments, phone calls over the last week.  It was such a wonderful feeling to be in Arkansas with my family.

They services were just amazing.  I felt weird saying that about a funeral, but thats not what is was.  They did such a great job making it a celebration of her life!  She was a wonderful little girl that went way too soon, but we all know she is in such a better and more beautiful place.  Olivia has been to more countries, missions, and served her Lord more than many adults I know (including myself)  She had a wonderful 10 years and they portrayed that so great at the services.

There were over 800 people at the service!  They also have friends and family all over the world, so they had it broadcasted on the church website LIVE.  They had over 1,000 people watch it online.  Theres just a little glimpse at how many people loved this little girl and her family!

My aunt, uncle and cousins are so strong in their faith and doing as good as can be expected.  They have a tough road ahead of them, so please continue to keep them in your prayers.

I still have a bunch of posts that are half done to post!  I need to get to work I guess!

Of course that will have to wait until after I meet up with Steph, Rach and Emily for dinner and drinks tonight!!!!  :)

Landons 1st Football Game! Go Ravens!

Landon started football a couple weeks ago and LOVES it!

Yesterday was their first game!!

Oh he is such a boy ;)

We played the Broncos and won 7-6!  They all played so good!

We learned alot though...bring WAY more water, need a tent, and more sunscreen!  3 1/2 hours out in the sun at 2:00 in the afternoon is a scorcher in Katy!  lol

Happy 68th Wedding Anniversary!!

A few weekends ago we went to Lufkin for Crystals great grandparents 68th Wedding Anniversary!

Landon and Ajax on the ride up there!

Crystal with her great grandparents! They are such amazing people and it was so nice to spend this special day with them!

Skylah and MawMaw (her great GREAT grandmother!)Me and and my munchkin (you will notice this is the before picture!)

5 generations!! (and Landon! lol)

Crystal spent weeks making a slideshow of old pics and songs. It was so neat, but so sad. Everybody really enjoyed watching it :)

Landon has had a loose tooth for weeks now (his first one!) MawMaw decided to try and pull it out... Skylah had a loose tooth too, so I started trying to pull hers out...
and within 60 seconds I pulled Skylahs out and then turned and pulled Landons out!!
Corky brought them straight to the bathroom to rinse ;)

Silly Skylah not smiling! lol

This was #6 for her! (which 5 of them I have pulled out!)
My baby lost his first tooth! (hence the "before" pic earlier in the post!)

Lots more to update, but I thought I would start with this weekend!!

<>We had another weekend in Lafayette, started football, won a few giveaways, and have had lots of fun the last part of summer! More pics to come soon!!

Blogger has been acting funky on my laptop and not letting me rearrange my pictures. Hopefully that doesnt happen again and I can get caught up soon!

I've loved reading up on all your blogs though!!

Congrats to Stephanie on Baby #2...

Congrats to Kim and Travis on their recent engagement..

and April on the birth of Baby Hunter!!
