Twilight

Holy cow....I am pumped! The cast of the Twilight Movie has been announced. These actors are pretty close to what was in my mind. The characters are from the left: Emmett, Rosalie, Esme, Edward, Carlisle, Alice, Jasper.

I got the picture and info from Stephanie Meyer's website so hopefully it's accurate.

I CAN NOT WAIT to see this movie!!!!!

Accomplishing Stuff

This little guy has been sleeping so much better this week (knock on wood) at least during the day. So I have been able to accomplish enough that I don't feel so overwhelmed by my house. Yay! Yesterday I got all caught up on laundry, cleaned the upstairs bathroom, dusted the up and down stairs and swept and mopped the kitchen. Today, it's only 9:50am and I have cleaned my bathroom, vaccuumed the house and scrubbed the living room carpet. Woo hoo! Now I have the rest of the day to play!

The weather here in TN is pretty mild, but I am still ready for spring. My kids need to play outside to get rid of some energy and I would love to open the windows for some fresh air. It would be nice to wear my beloved flip flops again too. Soon, it will be here, then it will be hot and then I'll be complaining about the heat and humidity. I guess I'm never happy! :)

Hubby Tag

I have seen this on a bunch of blogs, so I thought I would tag myself and do it. If you're reading this, consider your self tagged too.

What is his name? Chris
How long have you been married? this June, we will have been married for 10 years
Who long did you date? about a year or so
How old is he? 34
Who eats more sweets? definitely me, except when it comes to ice cream...Chris loves his nightly ice cream
Who said I love you first? I'm sure he did, but I don't recall the exact moment
Who is taller? he is-He is 6'2" and I am 5'3"
Who can sing better? I can and I'm not that great-bless his heart

Who is smarter? he is, he seems to know everything. But he wouldn't know I thought that he was smarter because I am a bossy know-it-all. (trying to work on that)
Who does the laundry? me. I'm sure he would do it, but I freak if he goes near it

Who pays the bills? me. He is super busy and I'm a control freak, so it just works better that way. It also is beneficial to me because then he doesn't know what I spend money on. :)

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? He does so I can sleep closer to Kannon's basinet

Who mows the lawn? Funny you should ask...this is a source of contention for us. I think the grass needs to be cut once a week, which is an unreasonable amount, in his mind. "It needs to be longer to be healthy," he says. Um yeah, 10 inch grass is super healthy. :) He's just hates yard work. Anyway, 2 yrs ago I wised up and hired a company to cut it. Chris felt a bit unmanly because, "A guy is supposed to cut his own lawn." So he tried to do it last summer. Luckily we had a drought and our lawn didn't grown much, but even then, I had to beg him to do it. And yes, before you ask, we DO have a riding lawn mower. This year, he has finally come to terms with the fact that he can devote his precious time off to our family, have someone else mow our lawn and keep his man card. It's a win-win situation!!!
Who cooks dinner? me. Chris helps where he can.
Who drives? Always him. When we drove here to move from UT, he drove probably 26 of the 27 hours.

Who is more stubborn? we both are. He's more stubborn with the kids though.

Who kissed who first? I can't remember (real romantic, aren't I?)
Who asked who out first? I can't remember who asked whom out, but we ate at Maple Garden. Who proposed? I did actually. Kind of dorky though. (I am embarrassed to write this) I used Chewy Sprees because he loves them. I think I still have them somewhere. I did pout until he got down on one knee though.

Who has more siblings? we both have one. I have one brother and he has one sister.
Who wears the pants? I think he and I would both agree that I do. He's just pretty easy going. If he felt strongly about something, I would totally back down.

Chris is the BEST husband and treats me lots better than I deserve. He is hands down, the best gift giver ever!!!!! He could do classes for other men out there. He is very thoughtful, always sweet to me and rarely looses his temper (with me). I am so spoiled by him with how he treats me and the things he does for me. I love his guts and am so glad he's stuck with me forever, like super glue!!! :)

Review

We had a crazy week!!!! Addi was super sick with strep. Poor thing. She hasn't been that sick for a very long time. She is finally feeling better. Kannon and I had a rough time because our routine got messed up. He didn't like having to share me with his sister during the day and I didn't like not being able to take my nap when Kannon does. We should have a better week this week!

Mr Kannon is a crazy messy eater, but is really enjoying sweet potatoes, carrots and bananas.
Kannon is starting to like his excersaucer and little more. He will actually sit in it and play for a little bit. Yay me!
This week for movie night, we watched Snow Buddies. So to go a long with that, I showed the kids how to make snowflakes with paper and they loved it! It kept them busy and tv free for almost an hour.

I can't believe how much these two look alike! Today at church at least 4 different people came up to me to comment on how much they both look like their dad. They both remind me of my brother Jon who has blonde hair and blue eyes. But there is no denying that they look like their dad too.

movie night

Inspired by a blog that I like to read, our family has institued movie night on Friday nights. We all get together and watch a movie with some fun snacks or prizes. So far we have done Ratatouille with an Emil ring toss and yo yo's that I found on Clearance, Spiderman 3 with cute Spiderman masks, Monsters Inc with monster cookies and last Friday we watched The Game Plan and ate football fare: hot dogs, chips and cookies. We have had a good time and it's a fun thing that we all look forward to all week. We usually set up a blanket on the living room floor to eat and watch our movie. Good times!
