BREAKING DAWN!!!!
WARNING: you are about to see some seriously seriously ugly pics of me. I was cute until we went to the store and there were 50000 people there. Then cute went out the window. NO SPOILERS!! :D
Jaci and I had decided to go to Barnes and Noble at 7 Am to wait in line for wristbands and I'm SOOO glad that we did! As you'll see the line got crazy!!
This is how far back we were from the door. Maybe 50 people in front of us.
This is the line behind us down to Target and starting to wrap back up and around
This is how crazy the line was right before they opened the door at 9:00 AM. All the way down to Old Navy.
After we got our wristbands we went out to breakfast and came back an hour and a half later to get my car. Still out the door! I kind of cut them off accidentally but its at least 20 people past the pillar too. CRAZY!!
We regathered at Jacis house at six for pizza, movies and temporary tattoos. It was a blast! Even if I didnt eat nearly as much as I usually do (sorry jaci!! Thanks for buying pizza!!)
Nichols vampire bite. Doesnt she look like a newborn vampire??
This is my finished tattoo. I think its awesome!! Moanik did an awesome job on it!!
This is Jaci's
Julias I hope Dustin didnt give her to much crap for it!
All of us!
Then after that fun we were off to Barnes and Noble!!
This was inside the store, seriously like this everywhere you went.
They did Bella's Bouquet toss.
Me Jaci and Julia. I look hideous.
All of us after we got our books. Julia, Jaci, Me, my adorable and most favorite cousin Jessica and Jaci's niece Nichol.
This is outside when we were leaving. Since we got in line so early we were in the 3rd group to get their books. We were out of the store by 12:14 AM. Then we were off to get drinks (thanks Nichol) and read!!
Thats Jaci's nephew Kevin in the middle. So funny.
I was planning on staying up all night reading but having only gotten two hours of sleep the night before and having grumpy children put a huge damper on my reading. I got pissed off at the book but now having finished it twice I think it was just my lack of sleep because after finishing it again today I LOVED IT!!! :D that's all i'm going to say about it!

my top 5
Ok so my friend Jaci posted on her blog about her top 5 male actors. Also if you are a fan of Friends you might remember when they all made their Top 5 actor/actresses list. Well here is mine for all of you who were wondering!!
#5 
James McAvoy. BRILLIANT actor, completely humble and has an accent? This one is a no brainer! I Adored him in Atonement! I cant wait to go see Wanted!
#4
Ryan Reynolds... Holy hottie seriously. Completely ripped, hysterically funny and takes roles that I enjoy watching. From Van Wilder to Definitely, Maybe I think I've seen almost every one of his movies. I love him!
#3
Oh George Stults. Please excuse my drool I seriously seriously loved him on 7th Heaven! I think he is charming and delightful and I LOVE his voice. Deep voices are so sexy.
#2
James Lafferty. This one is a recent addition to my top 5. In fact first season on One Tree Hill I couldnt stand him, but this season he completely stole my heart! I just love him now! The CW better not go under because I cant live without my OTH!!
#1
Jensen Ackles
OH MY... seriously. Love his looks, love his voice, love his tv show... love everything.
Please wipe the drool off of your keyboards now because I know my top 5 ROCKS!!!
Lets not forget my all time number one.. Tracy!! :D

4th of July
We had a pretty good Holiday weekend! It was so nice having an extra day for us to just reconnect as a family! We took the girls to the parade and then home for a nap before going to "the mansion" for a BBQ and fireworks. After setting off our own and watching Sandy City's fireworks from their front yard we scooted over to West Jordan park to catch some big ones up close and personal. We were more than happy to see as many as we could since Tracy had to work both holidays last year.
So american idol auditions are coming up on the 29th. I"m thinking about going... anyone want to join me?

NEW JOB!!!
Oh my gosh you guys! I know its been a long time since I've blogged and I'm sorry! Ok so here's what has been going on. Tracy finally convinced me to apply for a job at his work to help our financial situation out a bit. They are working on getting at home chat agents so I figured I'd go to training and then just work at home with the girls. After my original interview I'd joked around with Tracy about being so awesome that they make me the Vice Presidents assistant. And he laughed because she wasn't looking for an assistant. We both thought it was hilarious. Well imagine my surprise when on the first day of training she comes into my training class and announces she needs a new assistant because she promoted hers and she only wanted to open the position up to our training class! SERIOUSLY! I thought it was hysterical and immediately started making plans to get my resume in order to apply for it. There were 30 people in my training class and by the next morning she had about 15 resumes including mine. Her assistant was doing the interviews and started with me. I thought it went really well and we met for about half an hour. she only called out two other people that day and my interview was by far the longest. The next day she called out 3 more people and by the end of the day no one had heard anything. We all knew that whoever the assistant liked would tell the VP about them and then the VP would meet with them and then pick who she liked. The next morning I was seriously starting to stress. One of my competition was eliminated when background checks came back. So it was down to me and 4 other people. Then at about 2:00 on Thursday her assistant came back into the training room where we were in the middle of a training game and asked if I had a minute. So she took me to meet the VP and she liked me and just said lets go for it! SO YAY FOR ME!!! 3rd day on the job and I get promoted! HUGE PROMOTION! I went from being in training for customer service to the executive assistant of the Senior Vice President of Marketing and Customer Care! SO AWESOME! Of course its not an at home job which suck and Tracy and my's schedule is going to overlap so we need to find daycare or a sitter for a few hours a day but its seriously a career making move. I'm even higher in the company now than Tracy who's been there 9 months and promoted 3 times. Lots of people are jealous and asking if i'm even qualified for it and are pissed that she only opened it up to our training class. I love it! I've literally been thrown into my new position and its awesome. She likes me and I think we'll get a long well. If any one knows of daycare or someone looking for a part time nanny job please let me know!! :)
