Twilight party!

Last night, I had a twilight party with some friends in my ward and some of my just down right good friends! It was fun! We ate treats, gawked over Edward, and laughed at all the cheesy parts that bugged us. Truthfully speaking though, I could watch this movie over and over. Cheesy or not, I still love it! My battery died so I didn't get pics of everyone and I didn't get very many, but I had a blast! Thanks for coming everyone. I wouldn't mind making it a weekly event!

Addison and Avery!

Okay first off, did someone throw up all over my child?

No, that's just how dang messy she is when she eats!

A week ago, our friends the Conder's came into town and we were so excited to see them. Addison and Avery are about a month and a half apart and they played so well together. Most of Avery's buddies here are a little older than her so it was fun to see her play with someone her age! They did so well! No hitting, biting, nothing. Well of course they wanted each others toys but that's a given. Addison is seriously one of the cutest kids I have ever seen. She's only 17 months and she already so beautiful! Too bad they we don't live closer!

If eVeR..........

If ever I can't find her, she's climbing in and out of her toy box!
If ever I finish her room, I will be jumping for joy! (No still not done!)
If ever I am jealous it's when she's snuggling daddy and not me!
If ever she could play at the park without my constant attention, I could finally relax!
If ever I live by these wonderful friends again, I will be so happy to have Avery's second cousin
around to play with her! ( Erik's cousin Cam and wife Crystal came into town. It was so nice to see them and let Avery play with her second cousins Cohen and Caeli! It was fun! Hope to see you guys Easter weekend!

HBO's big love controversy!

I have received mass emails regarding the Big Love issue and although it bothers me to no end that HBO would be so insensitive to the practices of what we as members of the church hold sacred, I can only say that we need to stand tall and upright. We can get angry yes, we can write letters and boycott their various affiliates yes, but the persecution of what we believe will never end and it is what we do with our faith that matters. I received an email this morning with an article from the LDS news room and what stuck out to me the most was this,The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as an institution does not call for boycotts. Such a step would simply generate the kind of controversy that the media loves and in the end would increase audiences for the series. As Elder M. Russell Ballard and Elder Robert D. Hales of the Council of the Twelve Apostles have both said recently, when expressing themselves in the public arena, Latter-day Saints should conduct themselves with dignity and thoughtfulness.
I agree that this it is disturbing but ridicule is what occurs when people are doing what is right. Christ was ridiculed, Joseph Smith was ridiculed. Remember the acts of these people are done merely out of ignorance. They don't know what we believe in, they don't know the true value of temple work and I'm sure they will depict it inaccurately but we have to continue to stand tall and heed to the council of our leaders. The church is perfect, we know that. Stay strong!

Here we go again!!! I love this man in uniform!

Last Feb. after an eight year run of being in the army national guard, Erik retired his ACU's but has now pulled them from the closet, dusted them off and joined the ranks again!!! Sargent Foisy is now in the medical unit and a part of the dental squad! We're really excited because this unit is non deployable.(Oh to say that sounds so nice!)They just get the medical part of those who are getting ready to go to Iraq taken care of. Don't get me wrong I understand what the military entails but Erik has already done a two year tour for Iraq so I am really relieved that he will not be going again! Good job babe! You are such a hard worker! I love ya!
P.S. We're doing dental school through this unit so we're in it till he retires!

Any suggestions?

I'm loving reading books these days. I just finished one call Midwives. It was a little peculiar. A guy wrote in the perspective of a fourteen year old girl and I found that a little odd and because it was about midwives, it had a lot of vag talk and I mean it used the proper terms for our girlie parts. What kind of a guy??? Anywho, now that I'm finished, I need another. I like to read books that others suggest because I'm too afraid I'm gonna get one that stinks. I've already got a church book that I'm reading so I don't need one of those yet so does anyone have a good read for me?
