HAPPY FOURTH!

We had a great 4th of July weekend. We went to the parade and sat with Shane and Rahndi and their kids. It was Austin's first time actually enjoying the parade. It was right up his alley with a flyover from Hills Airforce base, lots of firetrucks, police cars, and motorcycles. Later on we had a BBQ with Shane and Rahndi and of course fireworks. We found an empty parking lot and laid down all of the seats in the back and had a great view of the Desert Peak fireworks.

ECLIPSE REVIEW

I went and saw the movie last night with my good friends Melanie and Mandy. Had a blast! And went home with my stomach hurting from laughing so hard.
Anyway, abut the movie:
LOVED IT!! So here's my list:
* They finally got the kiss right on both sides. No more moaning and weird sounds! Jacob and Bellas kiss was how Edward and Bella's first kiss should have been.
*They finally got the make-up right on Edward and he FINALLY LOOKED GOOD!! The tent scene...YUM!
*Bella finally looked cute and she didn't annoy the heck out of me in this one. She smiled a lot more
*I liked Bella and Edwards relationship better. It was how I read it in the books.
*Great meadow scene
*Better music then New Moon although I still liked Twilights soundtrack better
*Great fight scene. (seriously, were those arms being flung into the air?)
*Their weren't as many cheesy lines. Their were still cheesy lines, just not as many.
*Loved the tent scene from both Jacob and Edward. Still can't get over how good Edward looked
* I haven't read Eclipse in a long time, but I don't think they added anything differently, maybe I'm wrong
*Why does Bella have to choose? She's definitely got the best of both worlds. I think its funny how the critics say theirs nothing about Bella that would make 2 guys completely in love with her. I think we all have our little fantasy (back when we were teenagers of course!) Of feeling awkward and plain and wishing we had 2 hot guys completely in love with us!



*Rosalie's make up was horrible! She looked weird
*I didn't like the new Victoria. She wasn't very scarey. She seemed more of a threat in New Moon. What?! She's afraid of the Cullens. C'mon! Be the villian.
*Jacob didn't seem as buff in this one (that's a HUGE downside!! Maybe I was just paying more attention to Edward in this one!)

So in a nutshell:LOVED IT! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!!

Austin's best friend

I have been watching Carson for 1 year 1/2 now and the last 6 months or so Austin and Carson and become the best of friends. When Carson is over Austin doesn't want to watch TV as much since they just play play play. They play pretend, play football and tackle each other and of course love to go swimming! Its like having his own little brother, but with this one he gets a break from him on the weekend and his mama gets paid!

Austin riding his bike

Austin has had his bike for over a year now and has finally decided to ride it now we can't get him off!!

Roses

Sorry again! Mainly so my parents can see. My roses and some peonys are in bloom so I went a little crazy with the picture taking. When it starts getting hotter they aren't as big so I had to hurry and take some pictures. All 11 bushes are in bloom and theirs talk of adding 3 more bushes!

LIVING PLANET AQUARIUM

GIRLS DANCE PERFORMANCE

We are DONE with dance! The girls had their dance performance last night and they did AWESOME! They each performed 2 songs. It made me sad to especially watch Aubree dance since she is quitting for good because of soccer. She's so good at dance! I love watching her.
Addison got a special award for 100% attendance. We don't know why Aubree didn't get it because all year long that was my bribe to get her to go. Their was never a time when Addie was at dance and Aubree wasn't. So when we got home I ordered a medal for her on amazon and got it engraved to say 100% attendance.
On a side note: THE RECITAL WAS FLIP'IN 3 HOURS LONG AND THE AIR WASN'T WORKING!!! DURING THE DANCE I GOT UP AND WENT AND GOT THE GIRLS AND BROUGHT THEM OUTSIDE CUZ I WAS WORRIED THEY WERE GOING TO GET SICK and NOT BE ABLE TO PERFORM THE REST OF THEIR DANCES!!!

EARLY SUMMER
