Oh Christmas Tree!

We got our Christmas Tree! I was so excited because this is our first "big tree." All of our other trees, were pretty small. This will be our first Christmas in our new house and I am grateful for higher ceilings and more space!

Fun with the Hurds and Bethany!

A few days before Thanksgiving Rachelle, Scott, baby Tenley and Bethany came to visit us. It was so fun to see them. Tenley is soooo cute, she has chubby cheeks (perfect for smooching) and smiles a lot. Madi came over one night while they were here and she loved Tenley. She really liked her chubby cheeks. While she was playing with her she came up to me and whispered in my ear "um Ashley do you think if we lay her down on her back that her cheeks will go back like this?" Then she put her hands on her own cheeks and pulled them back towards her ears! It was so funny! It was nice to get to see Beth too. She just got home from her mission and we were glad to get a chance to see her and hear her fun missionary stories! We went out to eat at a Mexican Restaurant, and I had to remind Scott to order a Bean Burro, not a Bean Burrito! (ha ha, long story!) Later Camille and Rob came over to our house, along with Trevor, Jana, Landon and Dalin. We played the Wii, and Farkle. (our favorite dice game) The next morning we went out and shot clay pigeons, and then went to eat at R&R. It was so fun to see you guys, thanks for coming!! Luv Ya!

A better late than never, TWILIGHT freak!!

Ok so I know that this is a little late, and that most everyone who liked the Twilight books has seen the movie and has their own thoughts on it, but I have been busy with my last few weeks of nursing school and didn't have time to comment before, so here are my thoughts on the movie! (better late than never!) I LOVED it!!!!! The day that Twilight opened I had to work and I was really worried that I wouldn't get in line early enough, (that is what happened to me when LOTR came out) So my good Hubby Chad went and got in line for me! It was so funny because when I finally got there Chad was standing with about four other guys who were saving spots for their girlfriends or wives! We had to stand in line for a few hours, but it was fun because we had our friends there and my sister Meghan and her boyfriend too. We ate pizza and drank soda, and talked to all the other crazy twilight fans! I thought that the movie was Awesome, and I think that it followed the book well. I think that I liked it more because I didn't have really high expectations of it. I thought that all of the characters were cast really well, and I thought that the baseball scene was cool! Of course there were a few cheesy parts but I didn't think that they were nearly as cheesy the second time I saw it! Ha Ha! Chad liked it ok, but he won't be seeing it again. Thanks babe for going with me and for standing in line, I had a blast! Funny story, Meghan and I went to see the movie again and right during one of the lovey scenes a girl behind us started throwing up into her popcorn bag!! I felt really bad for her but it was funny timing. I think she was embarrassed because she sat there for a really long time after she was done throwing up, just holding her popcorn bag on her lap. I would have been running for the door!
