More Twilight Fun

What a bunch of cool twilight groupies, minus the one on the right side. "What's twilight again?" We drove a long way to the city of forks. I was ready for a nap.

This is the display they had in the theater lobby. They had prizes for people who wore their prom dresses and for look alike contests. This is our version of prom dresses.

We had an hour to kill so we played a little 21 and go fish. What party animals!




Aren't we all excited for the movie!





Twilight

Well, for girls night we all went and saw the midnight showing of twilight, and it is was fun. Most of us wore our matching shirts that said this...


The lines were crazy, which you can see. The theatre was sold out and people started lining up that morning to get in. We sat outside in the cold for about an hour.

Here's all of us crazy girls waiting and freezing in line. But we're having a blast!





We all went and ate at chilis before we went to the movie. Mostly I was just along for the ride. I haven't read the books yet, but I did like the movie, even though I thought some parts were a little cheesy. It actually made me want to read the books, just so I can find out what happens.

Too Cute

Are they the perfect couple or what? Cadence and Kyle having a playdate. They look thrilled. I actually just gave them some gum, and I think it was a little old, and was just a little hard to chew, hence the long faces.

Brylee, Aspen and Sahara

Today we had Sahara come and play. Brylee and Aspen always have so much fun with her. They are so sad because she is moving this week. They will miss her, and we will miss her family. Good luck Jason and Nicole in Kanab. Sahara wanted to do a pyramid that she learned at school. Cadence is trying to show a little too much.
Aren't they cute!

Best Friends!


Crazy faces.

Mix well at let stand for a couple of minutes, or press into a pan and cook on 375 for about 5 min, just so their are some chunky pieces.

Add graham cracker mixture to pudding mixture right before serving ten add:

Halloween

We all had so much fun trick or treating. The kids made a haul on their candy. It's always fun at Grandmas house, especially when there's lots of candy and cousins!
Aspen, Brielle, and Brylee dipping into the goods.

Every year the Blads do the annual Hot dog bon fire on Halloween night. Aspen was our little fire bug.



Before trick or treating we went to the Halloween Carnival at the church. Aspen loves being a witch.



Kyler, at the last minute, chose to be a ninja dude. Nice moves!



Of course, Brylee had to be a witch just like her twin.




How can you resist this cute witch? Cadence won best costume in her age group. She got a pin that she was so proud of.






Here's the girls on Tuesday at our ward party.
