Ryan and I went to Vegas for the weekend (without kids)! We had a great time. This is the only picture we took - -how could I resist? If we decide to marry I will send you all an invitation. It will probably be in the Caribbean. Don't be sad for Ryan, he's OK with it.

Me, Cambria and my darling mom again
Look! Cambria got a puppy! Although according to her, Alex doesn't actually live here, she just comes over all the time. We take her everywhere with us and she is so well behaved! So, all of you who have given Cambria adorable stuffed animal dogs that bark and pee and come with accessories and need batteries, you could have saved youselves some money by getting her an invisible one! Sorry.
Last week we went to the grocery store - -little did I know, Alex tagged along too. Cambria became quite upset, almost crying when I accidentally put the bread on top of Alex who was sitting in the cart! It was quite a conversation between us in the bread isle. A young couple stopped to stare, looking quite confused. I just looked at them and said, "it's her dog". Duh! She jabbered the entire time we shopped telling me what Alex was doing all the while: "Alex is licking the milk", and "Alex is looking at the donuts", "Alex want to buy that". We got a lot of crazy looks that day!
So, thanks to my sister-in-law Christy I have been hooked - -no, obsessed with the Twilight book series. I am quite certain I am one of the last women on earth to read the books, but in case you are clueless as well I HIGHLY recommend them. I have not heard of one person - young or old - who did not enjoy these books. There are three books in the Twilight series, written by Stephenie Meyer each being about 500 pages long (I read them all in about a week - -not that I am proud of that). I had heard several times about how great the books were however, I was still a sceptic and totally unaware of the impact they would have on me. I am going to warn you now that if you start reading these book you will not be able to put them down. You will ignore your family and any normal life you thought you had. Your mind will be consumed by the Cullen family! The good new is that it is 2 days since I finished the books and they are no longer continuously on my mind - -not to say the thoughts are completely gone. Imagine my excitement when I awoke this morning and actually thought about what must be done for the day rather than what the Cullen's are up to.
To my family, I must apologize for the dirty house, unwashed laundry, empty pantry, and below average meals. I promise, I have returned to my old dutiful self and am, once again a responsible mother, wife and friend . . . that is until the 4Th book comes out in August! And to all my friends who called and I didn't answer the phone . . . .I was ignoring you, sorry.
Again, a big sarcastic THANKS to Christy!!!

I just LOVE Valentine's day. Not because it's all that exciting and romantic - -at least not at this stage of my life, but because it's a good time to reflect on those you love and why you love them. I love my family SO SO much and am so grateful to have them in my life. I can't imagine what, or where I would be without them. So thanks guys, I LOVE YOU!
As you can see, Conner got braces!! He got them last Thursday and he's not too thrilled. There are a lot of things he can't eat. The next day he was really sore, BUT just like I said they are feeling much better today. MOMS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT! (usually)
Before you read any further, scroll down to the adorable picture posted under "Could you take a picture of me". Now . . . . here is the conversation between my darling daughter and me:
Cambria: I had a booger in my nose.
Me: What did you do with it?
Cambria: I ate it.
Me: Cambria, princess' don't eat boogers, remember?
Cambria: But it's in my tummy now.
If anyone has any no booger eating advice, please feel free to share. Thanks in advance.
Cambria's new favorite thing is having me take her picture. She likes to pose, or she likes me to take pictures of the back of her and of her feet! We also take picture of her stuffed animals. This day, when she asked, "could you take a picture of me?", how could I resist? Never mind the fact that she had just woken up and was in her underwear! You'd never know. :)
I can't believe how grown up Conner is starting to look. He's not a little boy anymore :( I loved this picture so much that I had to scrap it. He looks just like his dad with his adorable crooked little smile.
