Where to begin...

It was another one of those life altering weekends.
Seems like more and more of those are happening in my life.
Or, is it that I simply notice?

We celebrated the release of New Moon with a great big event here in SLC.
Yes, I am one of 'those' people.
A Twilight Mom to be exact! And proud of it.
The past 2 years have brought the most amazing Moms into my life.
Some are Moms, some are not...but they are all my sisters.
And I love them.

What a wonderful blessing they are in my life.
Honestly, how did I do this without them???
They are my inspiration, sounding board and friends.
They love me unconditionally...
heart and soul.

All my life, I wanted a sister...
Now I have over 30,000
My life is complete!

Complete Joy.
Joy.

How wonderful to be a small sliver in the Twilight realm.

Eight is great!!!

We celebrated Ellie's 8th birthday on Saturday.
I know. Eight already!
It was an absolute blast...
And in true Ellie style, she invited several more kids
than we anticipated.

She went to school with 8 invitations...
and at school made a few more!
Try asking her how many is a few.
12 kids showed up and even a helpful parent or two.
Three pizza's devoured, cake on the side and gifts to top it all off.

Happy Birthday Ellie!

This Picture has a story!

Here are the rules:

*Open your first photo folder.

*Scroll down to the 10th picture. (if you dont have 10 in that one, then go to the next folder that does).

*Post that photo and the story behind that photo on your blog.

*Tag 5 friends to do the same.

I had to cheat a little cause my folder didn't have a 10!
LOL!!!

I Lurve this picture of Sam and I. It was taken by our daughter on a spur of the moment stormy day that produced a spectacular rainbow behind our home. In the color picture, you can see it coming right out of Sam's head! I joked that he was at the end of the rainbow!
He is way better than a pot of gold anyway...
