I was Sucked in...Again

OK, so i know in my last post about Midnight Sun I said i was probably not going to read it. Well, for those who don't know me well, I have ZERO self-control! I gave in and I couldn't stop. I stayed up until 4:30 this morning to finish it. I mostly wanted to get it done because I have a lot of stuff to do today...and what am I doing instead? BLOGGING?!

I was disappointed when it ended, I wanted more! i hope she realizes that just about EVERY female wants her to finish it and decides to do so. It was very interesting to hear Edward's side and to know where he was and what he was thinking when he vanished all those times.

For those who haven't read it yet, it is worth reading...but it will leave you wanting more. I read it off her blog so I didn't feel like I was going behind her back.

:)

THANX MELISSA!

There's a First For Everything

Today I babysat (6 kids+my 2) from 7:45AM to 6:45PM...I need a break!

Oh wait, I'm going to get one. The first time I will go on a trip without the kids...or Jed (for 4 days)!!!

15 more days:)...and counting!

MyFamily Site

For those who are on the Bench side (of Jed's side). Check out the MyFamily discussion board, we're trying to get a family reunion going and need everyone's input. If you are a Bench and have no idea what I'm talking about let Dan know (I think he can only invite those to join). Unless anyone can and just let me know!

My Amazing Mechanical Husband

So after I picked Reid up from preschool, i got back in the truck and tried it start it. It completely shut down. NO power, nothing. We were planning on meeting some friends for playgroup at the waterfall (sorry we missed it, Reid was so sad). I called Jed (luckily he was home but had a class at 1:00, it was then 11:45). He came and took a look at it. The security mechanism thingy (technical words I know) turned on. It's there so if anyone tries to steal the truck it shuts it down completely. Why it turned on us, i don't know. Jed got in the truck, not knowing it wasn't in gear and pulled out the break. We were on a hill and he jumped the curb and ran into a neighbors tree. Luckily it just smashed some branches. It was a site though (and scared the owner) I wished I had a camera, it looked like we went out of control while driving and crashed.

After fiddling with the battery Jed realized there was a bad connection. By this time it was 12:15. We hooked the truck with tie downs then hooked it to our mazda. We needed to get it out of the flower bed and back onto the road. Luckily our mazda was strong enough to pull it (we'd push it but it was up hill).

To make a long story just a little bit longer, we dropped jed off to his class on time, picked up a battery then picked Jed back up and replaced the battery.

All I have to say is that I am grateful to have an amazing husband who knows a lot about vehicles. I know it was just a battery, but I wouldn't know how to fix it! Thanx babe for saving us!

Midnight Sun

For those who may have not heard about what happened to Stephanie Meyer's partial draft of Midnight Sun, check out her site...

http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/midnightsun.html

It's a shame that there are some people who are very inconsiderate and have no respect for how much hard work she has put into her novels, especially someone she trusted.

I haven't read it yet and don't know if I will. I don't know when she'll finish it but I kind of want to wait until I get the whole thing without any errors.

Gone Fishing

Jed went fishing Saturday morning and came home with this wopper! A huge channel catfish! But this picture doesn't do it justice....

















Holding it up next to William, you can tell how big it really is!
















Unfortunately, Reid isn't much taller, that boy needs to start growing or his younger brother is going to catch up fast!



They are getting more and more used to fish, they like to touch them because they're slimy!

Reid's 1st Day of School

Tuesday was Reid's 1st day of preschool. Some ladies in my ward and I are doing a joyschool where each mom takes a turn teaching. (I think I am more excited about it than Reid is!) He was excited about it the whole weekend and then the day came...he decided he didn't want to go. Luckily we were able to get out of the house on time and once we got there and saw all his friends, he got excited again! Plus he was able to bring Mr. Tiger with him to show and tell...Mr Tiger keeps him safe every night when he sleeps! When I picked him up and asked him how it was he said, "Great! It was fun, I got to eat icecream!" (They made friendship icecream where everyone brings their favorite mixin and mixes it together...yum). 2 more weeks and I get to be his teacher!
