Yes, we are a bunch of married mom's that went to the midnight showing of "Twilight." 

Both of these pictures are a few of the darling girls that I have met since we moved to Ohio. I have to say that I was more excited to have a girls night then to actually see the movie. I felt like I was back in school hang'n out with my girlfriends again.

Oh yes, we totally made shirts. We decided that if we were going to stay up for the midnight showing then we were going to go all out and make shirts to match the occasion.

This is Laura Lee, Karlie, and me sporting the back of our shirts

I am so glad that we went through with the idea to make shirts. For some reason it made the night that much more fun.

This is Karlie at my apartment ironing on her saying to the back of her shirt. The simple project turned into an entire day activity but we had so much fun and we loved going through all of the sayings that we found on the internet to put on our shirts. Also, after we found the rock that had been thrown in my printer, the project went pretty fast!

There is this wonderful Science Center called COSI that a group of us took our kids to. We decided to go to the "Ocean" exhibit first. I soon learned that it's probably a good idea to do the one with the most water last. They had such a good time though.

Poor Jensen was sitting right behind the kids and Lennix was using the scoop to throw water right on top of him.

I loved to see Lennix go from one thing to another. I can't believe how creative and educational this place was.

Enjoying the play area with his friend Maddi

Jensen was having a good time also

I'm sure many of you have seen the digestive system exhibit but I thought is was hilarious. Lennix was quite taken with the poo machine (I'm not talking about the Disney character). :)

This was amazing. The skeleton was shaped out of wire and as you can see it was gigantic. 

I guess I shouldn't paint my toe nails in front of Lennix anymore!! Also, I now keep it far away so he cannot get it but I was proud of him because he did not get one bit on anything else. He kept it all on his feet. 

Can't you just see the look of "Did I just do something wronge?" on his face. 

I went in to check on Jensen while he was taking his nap and I had to take a picture of him and his bear. He always has to have it right by his head so he can twirle it's hair to help him fall asleep. I have just never seen him actually cuddle with him. So Sweet.

I adore his blue eyes.

There is just something about little legs in diapers that I absolutely love

We are up to date!

Well, here are many, many pictures of the last couple of months. It has taken me a while but I really do want to try to keep up on this so I don't have to download over a hundred pictures at a time. My own fault. :) We hope you enjoy the pictures and that it gives you an idea of where we are, what we are doing, and how much we enjoy being here. We love all of you!!

Like father like son. Just doing a daily check up to see if everything looks good!!

My friend Jordan invited me to go to the fish shop and then to Graters ice cream after.  All three of the kids crashed on the way home.

 I couldn't believe how fun this store was for kids. They had a place that you could pet some of the fish and there were so any different tanks of all different fish. 

Lennix would stick his hand in the water and let the fish come right up and put it's mouth over his finger. He didn't even flinch.

Our Apartment

These next couple of pictures are mainly for my family. It is nice to picture where someone lives when you talk to them on the phone so I decide to add some pictures of the main rooms in our apartment. This of course is Jensen's room

Lennix's room. 

This is my attempt at wall painting. Nothing like my mom's but thank you for the inspiration off of Lennix's chair you made him!! 

Other side of Lennix's room.

The front room. Before we moved to Ohio I sold our little "Blue Angel" car. We took that money and decided to buy a nice couch. After 6 weeks of waiting, sitting on the floor or the round patio chair, it arrived! We could not be more pleased. It brightened up the room and the pillows were a good surprise. They perfectly matched everything we had and now it feels so cozy.

This is for my Mom. I wanted to show her

 what my bedroom ended up looking like. Here is part of the story - So all of the stress about weather to buy a new comforter or not has completely gone away. I realized after reading a talk  by President Packer that you "use it up, wear it out or do without." It is exactly what I need to hear. I had to realize that I needed to go back to what I do best, use what I have and make it work. I feel so blessed to have the things that we do and I kept on thinking that right now I may have better things than someone might have their entire life. I would feel ungrateful, in my circumstance, to go splurge on a new bed set if I really did not need to. There are still a few things I need to do to finish the room but I am pleased with the outcome and I felt like I was heeding to the council of Pres. Packer. Who would have thought I'd have a spiritual experience while decorating my bedroom!! Silly me.

As I was putting all of these pictures on the blog I decided to go check on Jensen. This is how I found him. I thought is was so sweet how he was hugging his bear. I could have stayed in there for an hour and just watched him sleep.

We were just playing with the camera and Lennix was taking the pictures.

Oh my goodness. That face!!

I love their little chubby legs. They play so well together. It is nice now that Jensen is pretty mobil, no walking just yet, but he is able to make a get away when he needs to. 

Ohio in the Fall

My friend Trinette had a big Halloween party and everyone dressed up. It was so much fun and we played games and of course we did a lot of running around trying to not let our kids pull down all the decorations. 

Jay and I went as High School sweethearts (nerd meets cheerleader. Later we decided that jay more so looked like an omish man and I decided I just had a bad hair day.  We've decided that we are going to plan ahead and get creative next year.

This is so funny. This is the classic game of pass the pumkin to the next person without using your hands. This picture could be great blackmail.

Some of the girls that I've become friends with.

We are waiting for the pumkin to get to us.

I got to babysit hese cute kids (Max and Isabelle) on Halloween day. They were so much fun and so good to me all day. 

We had to take a picture of the crafts we made. Funny Story: Isabelle was strumming the guitar and decided to make up a Halloween song. Her song was, "Jesus wants me for a Pumpkin." I thought is was hillarious.

At our ward house they put on a trunk or treat. Lennix could not believe that it was okay to be given so much candy. You can tell it was a little bit cold though.

This was our good friends the Parry's car. Tristan was trying to scare Lennix. 

I've never done a trunk or treat and now I think it's the way to go. Not too much walking and then when your done it's just a big party and eveyone stays after and chats and eats their candy. Some of the ward members even decorated their trunks or the bed of their trucks. It was really fun.

Me and my darling Ranger and Yankee. I had to have Lennix as a Yankee one last time. I had finished his pants to his shirt and I could not help but have him that for Halloween. 

I sure love them.

Hydrating before the Trunk or Treat!

Jensen looked so cute as a Forest Ranger. He didn't like the hat so much but he sure looked cute.

It was perfect that Jay had the shirt with the patch and he also wore his name tag. Also, I found those perfect pants for only 2 dollars here at a second hand childrens store. Perfect.

So Cute!
