Twilight!!!

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!
I can not even think of any other word right now for how much I enjoyed Twilight the movie!! I was a lucky girl who has a super sweet husband that got us midnight release tickets to the movie! My sweet husband even read the book (and loved it by the way!) I was such a fun night. The only thing that was not so great is that we couldn't find two seats that were together in the seats that our on the upper section of the theater, so we had to sit on the third row from the screen. It wasn't so bad once it got started. I was just so happy to be there and be one of the first people in Idaho Falls to see Twilight. I will defiantly be going to see it again very soon! Here are a few pictures of our evening!

Here is Dustin & I in our Twilight shirts!! If you go to a midnight release you have to have shirts!

  • This is the lines to get into the theater. You have to wait in line until they called your theater number and then they let you in. Our Theater number was called like right when we got then. I took this picture right as they were calling our number.

Here is Dustin looking up at the screen and then just a quick pic of us in our seats waiting for the movie to start!This is a view of the theater from where we sat. It seems that there are a lot of seats available but don't be deceived. Those are just seats people are saving for there friends. :(

Last but not least, here are our tickets and this is how we made it through the night!! Got to love the Red Bull!!

(Sorry if none of this makes sense. It is 4:00 a.m.)

Where does she come up with this?

This story is so funny that I just knew I had to blog about it!

So Sunday after church we come home and I am cleaning up some paper scraps from some handouts I made before Church. I had some larger scraps that I had printed on and cut wrong so I was throwing them away. Well, Rylee looks at the paper that I am throwing away and then up at me and says "Mom, you can't throw that away." So I asked "Why" so she replies " Some people could use those!!" I was laughing so hard. I have no clue where that came from. She must be so use to seeing me keep every scrap of paper that she thought that they could have been put to use!!

BYU Cougars!

Dustin & I had the opportunity to go to a BYU football game with his Grandma & Grandpa Mercer!! It was so awesome. It was the first College football game that I (Lindsey) have ever been to.Before this I had only been to High school football games(Go IF Tigers!!) BYU played UNLV and it was a very close game. Every time was scored they would answer back, but in the end we scored the most points (as my Dad would say)The end score was 42 BYU 35 UNLV if you were wondering. We were surprised at how much Dustin's grandparents got into the game. They were up cheering with the best of us after every score. It was really fun and we really enjoyed the time that we got to spend with Grandma & Grandpa Mercer and got to know them a little better!! GO COUGARS!!

Boo at the Zoo!!

We went to Boo at the Zoo yesterday!! It was a blast. For those of you who don't know Rylee is Alvin (from the Chipmunks) this year and she informed Dustin and I that we needed to be Simon & Theodore, so we happily obliged!! Dustin, Rylee and I all went and got to see all the animals at the zoo!! They had monkeys, lions & Rylee's favorite TIGERS!! She got a little candy and saw a bunch of people that she knew!We thought our costumes were pretty self explanatory, but I guess we were mistaken! We had so many people ask us "What do you spell?" I would just say Alvin, Simon & Theodore and the The light in there heads would go off! Rylee was so funny. She wouldn't call Dustin & I by Mommy & Daddy but by our character names!! If we were trailing behind we would hear " SIMON, THEODORE, come on" It was hilarious!! Rylee (or should I say Alvin) gets to wear her costume to a party tonight and then to school tomorrow and our ward party!! If she had her way she would wear it all day everyday!! Thanks Mom for all the time you put into our costumes!! They are awesome and we couldn't have done it without you!! By the way, I had no luck in finding Chipmunk ears and I ran out of time so I got creative and made them out of out hair!! Poor Dustin doesn't have enough hair for ears so he went without (I think he was okay with that!) We all got a Chipmunk nose painted on and we found Simon glasses for Dustin ( they are actually Harry Potter glasses but they were prefect!) We will always use them again!!I would of had more pictures but my camera stopped working :(.

New Hair Cut!

Rylee needed a little trim and so I got brave a did it myself!! She was such a good girl and sat very still while I cut it. She helped me by holding the scissors when I wasn't using them. She was being so cute, When I would turn her around to face me she would give me this big cheesy grin and ask "Is it cute mommy?" I am pretty proud of the end result!! Rylee loved it, so that made me feel like it was a success!! She looks like such a big girl with her hair cut short! I LOVE it that way but sometimes it makes me sad because it is reminding me that she is not my little baby anymore but a big girl now.

Helpin' Grandpa

My dad has been taking all the lath and plaster(I don't know if I am spelling that right) out of the rooms in there home and putting up sheet rock. One day while Rylee and I were over at there house my Dad started knocking it all down with a hammer. Rylee thought that was the coolest thing ever, so sweet Grandpa let her have a whack at it!! It has become her most favorite thing to do over at Grandma & Grandpa's house! Every time we go over there she heads strait to the room and gets to work. Today we surprised Grandpa by finishing the wall we had been working on(as far as we could reach). My dad just loves that his little granddaughter isn't afraid to get her hands dirty!!

Sleeping Beauty

So Rylee had been playing in her room the other day and then in got really quite in there. So, as any mom would know that means that there is trouble a brewin'! Well when I when into investigate this is what I found!!!!


She have taken the drawer out of her dresser and made herself a little bed!! How sweet is that!! I just love the things that this little girl thinks of.
