Ok so I can hardly contain my excitement for my sister, Hailey and her hubbers, Steve! She is expecting a lil babe in February and we all couldn't be more excited for her - this will be the first grandbaby on my side of the family!! Excited does not even begin to explain how happy my parents are: Dad of course thinks he is finally going to have a little farmer boy in the family - mom of course thinks she is going to have a little girl because that is all we know in our family - sorry dad - HA :)
Now the next big exciting thing, before the actual birth of course, is finding out what this sweet little baby is! Boy? Girl? Who knows - but I seriously can't wait for them to find out!!

CONGRATS HAILEY & STEVE!! xoxo

Little Mermaid



Me-Mom-Carli

Mom and Carli were headed back home from Hay's in LA and stopped in and stayed with us for the night. Mom got us tickets to go out to see Tuacahn's "The Little Mermaid." It was such a great production and we had so much fun! My sisters and I loved this movie as little girls, especially Carli - she always wanted to watch "Lulu Maid."

Little Taleah

I don't know this little girl personally, but I do know her dad, Scott. I heard this awful news and it made me cry. First, because she is just so little and this awful disease, Leukemia, is trying to get the best of her. And continue to cry because I can't even begin to imagine the emotions that Scott and his wife are experiencing - my heart goes out to them and they will be in my prayers for a miracle to help their little girl, Taleah.
Little Taleah's mom has now started a blog, to share their story on this long journey they are now faced with. You can follow this story here. Please keep this sweet little family in your prayers.

Book vs. Movie

I  have been reading lots lately it seems. I have really been enjoying so many different books. However, I do think it is kind of fun when they create movies based off of the books. It is always fun to compare and what not. Yes be extremely critical... one book and movie I am most frustrated about is The Help.

I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed the book. Ok I will try. Read it in 2 days. Yes I really could not put it down. I loved the detail, the stories, the comical analogies that were always so witty, whether it was the southern women or the help talking, and SOOO many other things in the novel. I really really was impressed with the book and its perspective.

Since my mom and I both read it we thought we would have to for sure go together once it came out. She was passing through to head to my sisters and stayed the night and we went. My sister and grandma also came and neither of them had read it, they didn't know what to expect, whereas my mom and I had HIGH expectations for this movie, The Help, since we both loved the book so much....I mean it is 2 1/2 hours! So we all went, Carli and Ginny liked it. Mom and I were quite disappointed overall. Yes, it was good, but the movie LEFT soooo much out. Obviously it could not be exact, I get it. Still. I just thought there were a few IMPORTANT things that were left out. I couldn't resist not venting about it.

Date to the Fair

We got together with Drew & Dabney and another couple, Dani and Quinn to go to dinner and head out to the Demolition Derby at the Fair! :) Kyle and I have yet to have been to the fair here since...oh wait we have NEVER gone here before! HaHa Anyways, it was lots of fun to watch and hang out with friends! Thanks for the fun night out!

Friends

It is always sad when you aren't able to make it to friends' weddings....but luckily Kyle and I were able to catch up with one of my real good friends from college, Bronson and also to meet his lovely wife, Linsee. It was so great to finally meet her! She is seriously one of the nicest and sweetest person I have ever met. They are moving out to DC for Bronson to finish school out there so it was definately a much needed visit before they start their new adventure so far away. I am so happy for them! Love you guys!
