Meeting Catherine Hardwicke!

My friends and I went to the Twilgiht DVD Release party at the Borders in Allen. We were lucky enough to be at one of the locations that was chosen for a surprise "guest appearance". Right before midnight, the director of Twilight, Catherine Hardwicke, came into the store. It was really fun to meet her. We were told that she would only sign one item per person (either a copy of the DVD or the "Twilight Director's Notebook"). So, we went through the line and had her sign our DVDs. Then we decided to get back in line to have her sign our "Director's Notebook" as well (yeah, we're total rebels). I was a little nervous because I'm not usually a rule breaker, but there were so many people there that no one noticed that we came through twice (bwahahahahaha).

There were these cool big poster things sitting on either side of the table where she was signing, and Clint (my friend Lauren's husband) asked one of the people in charge what they were planning on doing with the posters after the event was over. They told him he could have one if he wanted! Of course, he said "yes". Then when there was a lull in the line, they put the poster up on the table for Catherine to sign! So, Lauren and Clint ended up with a signed poster as well! Pretty cool!


We really wanted to get our picture taken with Catherine, so we waited around until she was done signing everything, and when she was getting up to leave, I called out, "Catherine! Would you take a picture with our Twilight Mom group?" She was like, "Yeah! Twilight Moms!" So, here we are with the director of Twilight!! Woo Hoo! (L-R: Lauren, me, Alison, CATHERINE, and Jennifer)

Dallas Zoo

I'm always a little hesitant to take the kids somewhere "fun" when I don't have another adult with me. It seems that more times than not it ends with all 4 of us crying! But, by the last day of Spring Break I was feeling really bad that we hadn't done anything fun all week, so I decided to take the kids to the zoo. I'm really glad we went. The weather was beautiful, the kids behaved well, and we had a great time! It's days like this that help me remember why I love being a mom!

"Take A Picture of Me With These Shoes On!"

Well, he asked... How could I resist?

Scriptures

Isaac has been wanting to read the scriptures on his own lately. He doesn't have his own set yet (we're going to get him some when he gets baptized in July), so he's been reading from mine. I'm proud of him that he wants to do what is right. Our family has been slacking on our scripture reading lately, so I appreciate his faithful example! It was really funny, too, because when he first started reading from my scriptures, he got upset because someone had "colored" in them! I explained that the scriptures that are "colored" are ones that I have marked because I like them or want to remember them. He thought that was pretty cool and asked right away if he could mark some as he reads! Too funny!

Ice Skating With Noah

Ever since I took Isaac ice skating last July, Noah has been asking to go. I finally got around to taking him on February 21st. We had a blast! He was SO excited to go ice skating. He got a little nervous when we first got on the ice, but he got over it pretty quick. After ice skating, we went into the mall and had cookies and soda. Yum! It was fun to have a date with my little guy. He's such a sweetheart!
