Twi-hard Goes Crazy!!

Yeah, so I'm referring to myself. =) I got this e-mail a little while ago. They're going to film New Moon!! YAY!! Yes, I'm such a dork that I am on the mailing list for Twilight The Movie. haha!

Birthday presents

She loves her new phone. Oh! Just so you know... her hair isn't really that big.. that's the shadow on the fridge behind her. =D

Part of her b-day loot

Ronni got:

2 dolls

Tad (the frog -- he sings, dances, lights up, and all kinds of stuff)

clipos (the lego things but they're for younger kids)

a thing that plays music, lights up and the gears spin in circles (not pictured)

of course her favorite of all --- a phone... LOL!

She also got several outfits. All in all -- I think Ronni scored very well. =D

TWILIGHT -- the movie *spoilers*

There may be possible spoilers in this so if you haven't seen the movie and are planning to you may not want to continue. I'm going to try not to give too much away though ;)


Overall... I thought they did a really great job. It was done as a low budget film and you can tell. When I read the books I saw Bella and Edward as happier people then they are portrayed in the movie. Also.... they left out some of my favorite scenes... the blood typing scene in the biology room and the scene after they meet James and Bella is formulating their plan of escape and Emmit decides he really likes her b/c she's "diabolical". LOL! That's just a few. They shortened her hiding out time w/ Alice and Jasper by... a lot. You didn't get to know them as well as you do in the book --- in fact, you don't get to know a lot of them. It does show Edward playing Bella's Lullaby but if you didn't read the books and don't know that's what he's doing then you'd never know. They never say "I love you." The day that Bella is asked out by three different guys is barely touched on and really only is asked by Mike... Eric starts too but is interupted and Tyler never even tries so of course Edward doesn't get to act all sneaky and stop him. hehe

Stephenie Meyers plays an "extra" in a cafe scene. Oh! that's something else. Bella doesn't cook for Charlie in the movie, they eat at a diner all the time. The guy who plays Charlie is awesome -- I loved him. Alice is JUST like a pictured her. Just like a pixie! There are several direct quotes in the movie but they did have to combine a lot and the movie felt rushed (similar to how a lot of the Harry Potter movies went). As I said earlier.... I totally think it was worth seeing and I recommend it to any Twi-hards out there. They have to make 2 million dollars in order for Summit to approve making New Moon so go see it and if you have the money then go see it again!!

First B-day cakes!

Yes, she has gifts... We are waiting until tomorrow to open them when Paul will be home so expect more pics tomorrow! ;) This should be enough to get you started though. =D

I thought I'd throw this in since we didn't have a blog for Collin's first b-day... this is his. =D
Here's Ronni stuffing her face... notice her nose... yeap... it's blocked w/ sugary goodness. =D hehe! Don't worry -- she sneezed it out later.

No... don't touch the camera w/ that sticky hand!! Aaaaaahhhh! In case you're wondering... yeap, she at the whole thing and another piece about half that size. She's quite the little eater. hehe!

This is another thing we did for her b-day. I haven't let her have any popsicles for a little while b/c it's been so cold. When she eats them her little chin quivers b/c she's cold. Since it's her b-day I thought I'd give in but I made her wear her coat. I only gave her half of one -- normally she can eat an entire one all by herself. Isn't she so cute. I handed it to her in that spot and she didn't move until she was done. She was concentrating too hard. hehe!

What is that face??!!! LOL!!

Birthday Cake!!

So... today Ronni is 1 YEAR OLD!!! Woo-hoo!! I wanted to make her a cake and I knew Collin would want to help somehow. I decided we would make a large cookie and cover it w/ cool-whip and M&Ms. I baked the cookie and let it cool. Collin then spread the cool-whip and put the M&Ms on it all by himself... I mean all by himself. I stood there and watched, determined not to intervene. It was messy but he had fun and he's so proud of it. He keeps saying, "Ronni will love her birthday cake, Mom." He keeps checking on it to make sure it's okay. She's sleeping right now ;). More pictures later once gifts are opened... yay!

BBQ Wings... mmmm mmmm

Isn't this just the face of someone you want a big kiss from?? hehe!

Autumn play

Collin was having fun collecting berries from a holley bush -- they were all squished in his pockets... hehe!
