Team Edward

Saturday was the day of the ECLIPSE PARTY!!! For those of you who don't know, Eclipse is the third movie in The Twilight saga and it opened this weekend. We are way to into the series, we own and have read all the books, multiple times, own memorabila and t-shirts. So now you know, I didn't mention my obsession earlier because I knew it would come out eventually...

First, Monica throws the B.E.S.T parties. She is so detailed, it's awesome. I helped put up a few decorations and I was dubbed official taste tester (I dubbed myself that but we're not splittig hairs here). She cooked, I finished decorating and then the first couple of guests arrived. We watched, or fastforwarded to the parts with Edward, Twilight and then played the Twilight Scene It game. And I Won! haha.

During the game a few more guests arrived and when the game was over we watched the beginning and the end of New Moon, the second movie, just to refresh ourselves on how it ended so that we were prepared for Eclipse. At 6pm we loaded up the cars and headed to the IMAX Theater to see Edward 6 stories tall. Jacob was there too, 6 stories of abs are not bad but we are faithful to Edward. We did have some Team Jacob members infiltrate our little party but they are die hard twi-tards like the rest of us so how could we deny them haha...

The movie started at 7pm. We got the seats we wanted, got settled in, the movie started and we were zoned in for 2 hours and 4 minutes.

THE MOVIE WAS AWESOME!!! Amazing! Wow! I can't believe I now have to wait a WHOLE year before Breaking Dawn comes out. It's going to be pure torture. Luckily I will not have to suffer this alone as my fellow twi-tards will be suffering along side me.

Here are some very fun pictures of our night...
Decorations: I hung up the life size Edward decal on the window and taped the life size Jacob to the back of the bathroom door...Monica did the rest.Budro didn't stay for the party, we was promptly ushered out but not before we got a picture of him with Jacob... He's a good sport.The food, and yes most of it was related back to the books...Some of the guests...I don't have the group picture yet but will put it up soon.The Game that I WON and Me with my prize (the New Moon soundtrack) and mini Edward...Heading out to the movie!!
Before we left for the IMAX Monica gave us our party favors, it included a bookmark of either Edward or Jacob (I got Edward), a New Moon chocolate candy, a package of gummy bears because irritated grizzly is Emmetts favor food and a pack of "Eclipse" gum!!! Soooo clever!

Look What Mac Can Do!

Ok, finally, after the biggest headache to get this video posted.... LOOK!! hehe

Happy 4th of July!!

Yes, it's late but it's the fourth for another 3 hours. We have had a lazy day, just the way we planned!! We really are not doing anything to celebrate the fourth since our previous weeks have been pretty crazy but we did have chili dogs for lunch while watching a baseball game and I think that's pretty American! And I made Red, White, and Blue strawberries for dessert. I got the idea for the strawberries from Oopsey Daisy
Mac is the only one that really got into the spirit today and he looked soo cute! Thanks Nana for the onsie!
And then he said "No more pictures"
But I did get some more pictures of him on his hands and knees!
I will put some video up of Mac getting on his hands and knees tomorrow!

On All Fours

This is the best picture I have been able to get so far but Mac can get into crawling position now!! He has actually been able to do this for about a week. The first time he did it was early last Saturday and I couldn't get a picture and then he was sick so definitely no picture opportunities but now that he is back to his old self he is at it again! It's hard to be ready for a picture of him doing this since you never know when he is going to pop up on his knees and hands but I will keep trying!

Project 101

If you know me, you know I LOVE LISTS! I have created a list of "101 Things To Do In 1001 Days" and the kick off date was yesterday! It is a list of a combination of different tasks like fun things to do with family, charitable things, good samaritan things, crafty things, etc. It's "The Ultimate List" for me, it's going to be fun and I'm excited to get started.

As I complete tasks from the list I will blog about the experience in my Project 101 blog and I will also post updates here on my everyday blog to let you know whats going on. I will put a link on this blog so it's easy to check in on me and my ultimate to do list!

Wish me luck!!

TOYS! TOYS! TOYS!

Mac is in toy heaven as of last night! He received some really fun toys from his daycare class to make his healing process a little more bearable! And it really has helped. He is having tons of fun figuring out what all of the new toys do and it's producing lots of laughter and smiles, which mom and dad have been missing.
Thank you so very much to everyone for sending such a great "Get Well Soon" gift sack for Mac. It means so much to us to know that Mac has such great friends and that we do to. I really appreciate the hand print card that everyone made for him as well. It was so sweet and thoughtful. This has been a very hard time for Mac but it has been so scary and unexpected for Jimmy and myself. It is so much easier to go through something like this knowing that there are great, selfless people out there ready to help and send well wishes at the drop of a hat or email. Thank you again so very much, ya'll are awesome.
