CHARMED BY TWILIGHT

This bracelet is SOOO cute! It has the best Twilight charms I have ever seen! Go get yours now! http://www.charmedbytwilight.com

FINALLY

The BOOK is HERE!!! Friday night me and my sisters and our cousins went to the Breaking Dawn Release Party. It was really great. We started the night with some food at Carinos and then headed over to Barnes and Noble. It was mayhem! So many TWILIGHT lovers! The only upsetting thing was there were a few people with shirts saying "Team Jacob" on them. Whatevs people. ;) But we did a scavenger hung, trivia, and best dressed contest. None of us won, but I believe the judging was incorrect. Stephanie def had the best dress and we got all trivia correct... even the bonus! Anyway, it was a blast and I wish we could do it again!

Just practicing our Vamp skills

Abby's sweet car!

We just couldn't wait any longer. The suspense nearly killed us!


I was freaking out when we made it to the cash register. Best night ever for me.

OH YA WE GOT OUR BOOKS!!! I LOVE EDWARD!

Heaven on Earth

Our family was finally able to vacation together this summer and man was it needed! Me and Dan and my brothers and sisters got to go down to Lake Mead with our aunt Kim and uncle Doug, cousins Greg, Milea, and Jeff. It was such a blast! I only wish my parents and Jessie could have come too! We hung out on the house boat playing cards, playing the Wii, reading twilight books, and stuffing our faces with incredible food. The water was pretty choppy the whole time but that made it great for surfing! We also got to play on the wave-runners which was sweeet. Then on our way back we stopped in St. George and ate dinner at the g-parents, Nonie and Popadon's. mmmm, eating there is one of my most favorite things ever! Anyway, we had so much fuN! Too bad we couldn't stay there another week!!!

"Ah, Edward. I've missed you."

BREAKING DAWN COMES OUT SO SOON! AHHH. ONLY 11 DAYS. I am so excited. I have taken up reading everything I can on every single site there is dealing with this series. If you haven't read the first chapter in the 4th book, oh my gosh, you need to you! It is so incredible I can not WAIT. I LOVE EDWARD. I'm just so nervous and anxious for the book to be released. It is all I can think about. Two nights ago I had a dream that Edward and Alice were sleeping over and we were discussing ways to avoid attacks from other vampires when my mom walked in and found them. I then had to tell her they were vampires but not bad ones. haha it was sucha weird dream. Anyway... If you haven't been to Stephenie Meyer's website lately then you are really missing out. Everyday a new quote from the book is posted. Here they all are so far:

Alice: "I'll play you for it. Rock, paper, scissors.
Edward: "Why don't you just tell me who wins?"
Alice: "I do. Excellent."

Bella: "Oh, Mike! How will I go on?"

Tanya: "Ah, Edward. I've missed you."

Emmett: "Oooo, scary."

Bella: "Jasper? What do vampires do for bachelor parties? You're not taking him to a strip club, are you?"

Charlie: "Bells, we're up to bat."

Edward: "You're awfully small to be so hugely irritating."

Bella: "Why am I covered in feathers?"

Alice: "No one will dare to call you plain when I'm through with you."
Bella: "Only because they're afraid you'll suck their blood."


Edward: "Oops."

OKAY, first off.... TANYA?!??!?! WHat THE CRAP IS HAPPENING? ah. but the strip club comment is really funny. ah i'm so excited! I'm reading ECLIPSE again to prepare myself but I can't put it down and its going to be finished by tomorrow. I wish it wasn't because then I will still have over a week to wait for Breaking Dawn but I can't help it, its too good, I have to keep reading! But I did just read something that made me think. Edward is telling Bella that if there were anyway for him to turn HUMAN he would do it. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF THAT HAPPENED? As much as i want Bella to turn into a VAMPIRE it would be so much more perfect if he turned HUMAN. Then they could get married have babies and grow old together. AWW. As long as they are together.

Another thing, Dan came home the other day and told me he met someone who was a JACOB fan. URGH. Here's the thing, he's a great friend but he's just not Bella's soul mate. Please oh please oh please let Bella and Edward get married!!!!!! I have to finish this before I go insane. Bye now.

ThE fOuRtH oF JuLy!!

We had such a fun fourth! It was a whole weekend adventure. Thursday night we went camping with our friends up provo canyon, into Wallsburg. It was a blast. Brandon and Stephanie made a marshmellow/hot dog roaster that was HUGE. It was hilarious. We all spent our time finding the perfect peices of wood to make wands out of. Yes we are a magical bunch. It was a party. We did some fireworks and just messed around. Poor Dan got alergies so bad that his whole eye was swollen up so we ended up leaving late that night. The next day, JULY FOURTH, (I forgot my camera so I don't have pics, sorry!) we went to a killer BBQ. BEST food! We had steak, corn on the cob, grilled pinnapple! We played quitar hero and inhaled salt and vinegar chips. (don't ask) I had a run in with a dog which resulted in me jumping over a 7 foot fence. I have some sweet battle wounds from it. Then my family and us went and watched fire works which was really awesome then we did our own. It was so awesome. We had soo soo much fuN! Coming back to work was HARD!!

SuMmEr FuN!

So our cars were so gross and dirty that it was getting embarrasing to drive them around. I couldn't even see out of my back window it was so caked with grime and crud. Soo we took our cars to our friends house and powerwashed them! I love summer because I love being outside and being able to do this! It was bloody hot out but such a blast! Now we have clean cars! This post is kind of lame but I'm really bored!!!
