Man, I am not that good at this!

So, I have finally had a few mintues (and by a few I mean that I wasn't really able to read that much stuff, but I am working on finding more on-line time, maybe when we move . . .) and I saw that my blog is not nearly as detailed as all of the rest of yours! I just want to say, though, that since I just checked my comments for the first time, it was great to hear from all of you! Also, do all of you know that you can set up something called bloglines? Shawn set it up for me and it tells you when each of your friends puts up a new post on their blog, so you don't have to remember them all, and it is super easy to do and use! Just go to bloglines.com- I think it is even set up by the same people as blogger- just a tip to make your lives easier! Well, lots of love to all of you, and it was great to hear from you all! LOVE YOU!!!

I spent almost all day Thursday and Friday and today doing Abby's room in my parents house since we will be moving in there in January- so I thought I would share with you the fun! Shawn did the butterflys, in case you couldn't tell, I'm not that good, but I did the rest!!!

A book I think everyone who checks here should read

Okay everyone, I am not just going to post pictures of my kids on this. I thought that I might share some of my scintillating thoughts on various and sundry topics, sound okay? So, I would like to recommend to all of you.
Ok, for the girls, in case you haven't heard of this, it is my new favorite book of all time, but guys just don't understand it- it is called "Twilight" and is written by Stephenie Meyer- it is completely awesome and so are it's sequels, although the first is my favorite- I don't care what kind of books you normally read, just give it a try, I completely fell in love with it!
For everyone (and by everyone I mean both the male and female varieties) you HAVE to read this book called "Mistborn" it is written by Brandon Sanderson and is a fantasy book, but don't let that turn you off from it. I am not a big fantasy reader and I loved it!! It is also the first in a trilogy, the second just came out last month and in the acknowledgments part of it, he mentions Shawn!!! That's right, we know a REAL published author and it is in the world market, too, not just the LDS one!
Ok, those are my plugs- read and enjoy!

Thought I would put on some new photos and the like, I guess I will just try to write a little something beside each one, if I can . . .
This is Shawn and Drew (his younger brother for those who don't know) and the monkey Shawn did on Drew's wall last week


Here's me and the kids in Drew's room (I just liked this one, usually I don't like pictures of myself, but this one wasn't too shameful!!)





Here's Abby and Lucas playing in the corn box at a farm feild trip we went to yesterday for Lucas's school. (Notice Lucas's crack, yes I know it is there, I just can't ever do anything about it!)
















Here is Lucas and Abby
showing how tall they
are!






















Here are the kids in their Halloween costumes, Lucas LOVES transformers and Abby is a butterfly, sorry I couldn't get a better picture of her front, perhaps for the real Halloween, but isn't it cute in the back? By the way, these were taken at our ward Christmas party yesterday, yeah, we thought it was early in the month for it, too!


























Here's me and Shawn taken last night-this is Shawn's impression of "stroke baby" which is a face that our cousin (who is one and hasn't had a stroke) sometimes makes. For the one of me, I know I'm not cool, but what the heck, right?
