Almost Harry Time...

So last night my sister and I had a friend over for dinner and afterwards we sat around and chilled. Amongst chilling time we somehow got on the topic of Harry Potter, which for those of you who don't know there is another one coming out in a couple of weeks. So we made plans on going to the midnight showing, therefore I plan to buy tickets a head of time. But to get back to our night I asked my friend Blake if he would like to join us and go to the midnight showing. He chuckled and said that he had only seen the first two movies but asked me to let him know when I was going to buy tickets and that he would think about it.


Therefore today I was checking the movie website to see if I could buy tickets yet, and wouldn't you know THEY ARE FOR SALE! made my day I must say. I sent a text to him saying that I could now buy tickets and here was our conversation.


Me: "I can buy harry potter tickets now."
Blake: "that is the 12?"
Me: "No...the 19th but we'd be going to the midnight showing at 12:01 AM :-)"
Me: "I'm really excited"
Blake: "Never been to a midnight showing. Do I want Harry Potter to be my first one?"
Me: "It's up to you."
Me: "Maybe once you watch the movies you'll want to go to the midnight showing :-)"
Blake: "How many have I missed?"
Me: "You've said you've seen the first two right."
Blake: "I think so... it's been too long."
Me: "Well if you've seen those two, you've only missed four."
Blake: "Only four lol. That's 12 hrs of my life!"
Me: "It's not that bad, it's harry potter :-D."
Blake: "Ya ok, I'm pretty sure I liked the first 2. I take a ticket and let me know when you start watching the series so I can catch up."
Me: "There was no peer pressure in making your decision was there...haha."
Blake: "No, I'm into trying new things."
Me: "Trying new things can always be a plus."
Blake: "I'll make sure to find a wizard costume."




My favorite part of our entire conversation was when he said it was 12 hrs of his life, I don't even want to think about how much I've spent between Harry Potter and the Twilight series, haha. Best part of my whole day was Blake saying he would go. It's going to be a blast, NOVEMBER 19TH be prepared. :-)

Erica's Tattoo

So I've had this for awhile just haven't uploaded it. But I took some video of when Erica got her tattoo done. It's kinda funny to see her face, I don't think she has ever looked so quiet and freaked out all at the same time.

Kirby Science

So last week Wednesday I made plans to take Emma to the Washington Pavilion. It just so happened that my mom also took the day off so she crashed our party. But we really enjoyed sharing our fun with her too :-)

Emma and grandma building their space ship.

Someone wasn't too happy about getting in the space suit.

One of her favorite things was the hot air balloon. She keep saying, "Mana balloon" I think if she could have gotten on it she would have ridden away.

She really didn't like this at all. Probably had something to do with the 70 mph wind blowing down on us...haha

We're working on building our dinosaur.

So after we built our dinosaur we went our and started digging up more dinosaur bones, which actually turned into throwing sand around.

Her and her frogs, I think that when she gets older she's going to ask for one as a pet. It will be interesting to see how grandma answers that one.

Yay toys that look familiar.

Her all time favorite thing to play with was this ball contraption. It would suck the balls in the tub and then they would come out at different spots.

"Craft Time"

So today was Emma's first time ever playing with paint, and if I do say so myself she did an awesome job. We made paintings to hang up in her play room for decoration. I think they turned out awesome :-) and she is very talented. She did exactly what a 2 year old is suppose to do she got paint EVERYWHERE and I couldn't be prouder. Here are some photos...

In The Works

So the other day when I realized that I wasn't going to be able to go on a J-term trip next year because I would have to be spending my time in a class so that I can graduate next spring (cross your fingers). I was really bummed I have been planning on going on this trip for years and now that it can't happen I am a little sad. Then while I was in the shower the other day, I had this crazy fun idea pop into my head. What about a road trip? Where might you ask, North Carolina.

Erica and I have already started planning, we've decided we are going to go during the summer next year and that we are going to rent a vacation house with an ocean front view and a beach. Talk about heaven, I am sighing just thinking about it. I've already found the house that I want to book, I'll even share a picture with you guys and the link if you want to go check it out. But just promise me you wont go and book the house for yourselves haha... I just really hope that everything will work out and the friends that we invite to come with us will want to. Cause I don't know about them but Maxie is really feeling like a vacation. ;-)

On a side note Erica and I both made a pack with each other. When one of us gets into a situation where we find ourselves wanting to by an article of clothing, pairs of shoes, or anything that really isn't needed. We are to call one another right away and remind each other about the beach and sand between our toes, oh and the cute boys ;-) that way we don't buy and we end up saving money for our trip. My mom thought it was funny when I told her. Hopefully it works.

What I've Been Working On.

Okay so heres what I've been working on lately, and what has obviously been taking up all my time.

Amazing Sunday

Today we decided to not go to church because it was a combined service with the spanish speaking part of the congregation. I know this a horrible to say but when they combine services it is complete agony sitting through the service and trying to stay focused on what the sermon is suppose to be about. So all we have done all day is watch season 7 of the 24 series. I've been waiting for my parents to buy this season for awhile :-) woot woot mom and dad.

The only thing that was kinda a bummer about today was Jessi was home all day. It was so nice not having her around Friday night and all day Saturday. Who knew that life could be less emotionally draining and people in this house were happy, heck even Emma was on her normal schedule all day, she was so good. Oh the life!
