  3. luckily Cousin Cheryl is a big fan of the series, too and thought that my daughter should have them all in hardcover... we got the book in july! woohoo!! should i send you our copy?! you need to read it! :)
  4. awww! sorry she took it Orin! My daughter and I "share" the books, too. :) I agree with you Karan. I like Stephenie's more innocent vampires. I just kept wanting to read to find out what was going to be revealed next! Like why they really can't go out in the sun. That was great! And the fact that Bella is such a disaster magnet just cracks me right up! Stephenie is a really entertaining author. The story is written in such a way that the reader can really get immersed in the story. The history and mythology of the Quillute tribe is an interesting twist to the whole story line. I can't wait until the next book in the series is published...Fall of 2008?! Heaven help me!! ps...Karan, you can have Jake! I'll take Edward!)

  9. I ran upstairs to say good bye to everyone this morning as I was on my way out the door to work... He throws his arms around me and says... "Will you be my mommy?!" hahahahaha!
  10. Alrighty...This is my absolutely favorite story about my now 14 year old son. Those of you know know me know that he is adorable and could quite arguably be the best son in the whole wide world! I learned that he was very special while he was still quite young. His thinking has never been "inside the box" but very much outside of it. Anyway...it's always been very fun to see how his little mind works! In California they start to show the "growing up" videos in 4th grade. Bryan skipped 3rd grade so saw the first video when he was 8. His older sister was in 5th grade and had somehow missed the movie the year before. Anyway, they get in to the car after school and I ask them how their days were and what did they learn from the videos watched. Ivy, bless her little heart...says, "Mommy! I've got eggs in my ovaries!!" and then there's my son... my wonderful little boy... "Testicles! Mom! That's a really funny word! I used it as much as I could this afternoon!" Yup! That's my boy!! :) okay...one more Bryan story.. if you can..picture a little pudgy Opie Taylor...that was my boy! This one happened when he was 5 or 6. We were at the beach with my mom and he asked if we could go for a walk to look for shells. So off we go hand in hand, just me and my little man! Strolling under the pier he finds a little bitty sand dollar and is very happy with his little self. That is until mommy comes in and says "oh! let me see!" and sticks her thumb right in to the middle of it, breaking the dollar. I was very sorry and he says.."It's okay, mom. Let's just go jump in the waves". So, off we head to jump in the waves. He puts his little bucket of shells down right next to him and is having a blast when a big little wave comes in and knocks his bucket over!! ack! We scramble to get all the shells gathered back up and now he just wants to go back and sit with grandma so we start to head back. We walked along in silence for a couple of minutes when he stops dead in his tracks and says with such consternation and exasperation in his little voice... "Great! Just great!" I say, "what is it honey?" and here's where it get's good. His reply? "First, you broke my sand dollar! Then the waves knock over my bucket! Then...as if my day couldn't get ANY worse.. now I've got the hiccups!!" I'm sorry to say my reaction wasn't very mommy-like.. I tipped my head back and laughed and laughed to which he replied... "gah! And why do adults always laugh at what I say?!" it's cuz yer funny Bryan...really really funny! :)

  19. a lot? really? i'm trying to picture my ward and how many severely obese women there are? maybe 5 or 6. i wouldn't call that a lot. and of those 5 or 6 it seems to be a health issue that explains why they've put on any extra weight.
  20. Was his name Barney?? I'm sorry, really, I'm really, really sorry... lol! no..it was... ummm... gosh! i forgot! but i remember the purple hair! and his wife's name was Ginger. like on Gilligan's Island. but she was a short blonde, not a tall red head. Mark!! that was his name! man...sometimes i even amaze myself!
