New Moon Weekend

We had just another lazy weekend. We didn't do much yesterday, just got caught up with laundry and did some cleaning. We went to dinner with my mom at Angie's last night and got some entertainment while we were there. My mom and I were sitting at our booth waiting for Josh to get there and a fire truck pulled up and about 10 firefighters and EMTs come in. They weren't in a big hurry and didn't have the stretcher with them so we couldn't figure out what was going on. Later we found out that one of the staff there had an asthma attack and quit breathing.
Today, Josh and I just hung around the house. I went to New Moon with Tara and Atty. Josh didn't want to go because he didn't want to have to fight a crowd. Tara and Atty were already standing in line when I got there. It was so dang cold outside waiting for the box office to open. The movie was so dang good. I loved it! Much better than the first one.
I can't believe Thanksgiving is this week! This year has gone by way too fast. I love the holidays. I'm so excited to see my little sister on Wednesday! I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Pictures and Weekend Happenings

My mom and I took pictures of Jade, Brit and the boys on Saturday to get their first family pictures. The weather was awful, snowy and very cold. Which meant with the snowy weather, we wouldn't get very good lighting. We tried to get the same pictures we took of Branson when he was just a baby. Gavin didn't cooperate very well, he was very awake.

We aren't really satisfied with the pictures so we're gonna have to do it again, but that's just fine with me. I love taking pictures of these boys.
I stayed at my mom's til about midnight Saturday making watch bands. I made me 2 really cute ones and got one made for a Christmas gift for my special Lu. We're going down to Spanish Fork the day after Thanksgiving where my mom and her sister's will have a booth at a craft fair. My mom is selling her watch bands, necklaces and earrings and my aunts are selling vinyl lettering and hair bows. I'm excited to go and hang out with the girls, it'll be fun. I'll miss Josh though, I always do. I hate being away from him overnight!
While I was at my mom's she told me my dad's cat was dying. We tried to get some antibiotics in him, thinking he probably had a UTI or something bacterial. We got two doses down him, but my mom told me today that Goldie passed away. I went to my dad's work to tell him I was sorry his buddy died. He loved that cat so much. Goldie wouldn't settle down after my dad got home from work until my dad sat in the chair and Goldie got up on my dad's chest where they could touch heart to heart. It's tough to see my dad cry. He is sure going to miss his buddy. We found him in our garage when my parents were moving out of their house about 7 years ago. It was winter and we didn't want the cute puffy kitten to be out in the cold over the winter so we took him in. My parents had his tail amputated after it got infected from a fight he got into, he was the guard cat.
It is so dang cold outside today. Josh and I have just hung out in the house all day. We slept in, after Josh got home from work at 7 am, and have been lazy. We got Josh's homework done and have been camped out on the couch with our blankets and laptops and our furbabies. The perfect day!
