GNO: The Help

This was a busy week for our Fam but I managed to get away for a minute or two tonight. Yeah for GNO! We had so many ladies come out this time. So fun! We ended up with 18 ladies for dinner at Applebee's. The food was so yummy and the waitress was so fabulous to us. I love visiting and eating with these awesome Fargo ladies!

Then we headed to the movies. A few ladies had already seen it or needed to get home but we also had some other friends join us! Thanks Betsy (& her 2 friends), Robbie and Cortnee for meeting us! [This was Cortnee's 1st joining our crazy little group. Hopefully she comes back! LOL] We passed around tons of treats, we laughed, we cried, we laughed some more, and we cried some more. Then after we visited outside until we had to pee. What a great night!!

Delicious food, such a good movie, and awesome friends!

I love, love GNO!

Thanks ladies for getting out with me!

P.S. SAD Sidenote!--- KBro & I decided to take our dinners with us to the movie to finish them. We even got to-go-forks! LOL Then the movie was so good we never had time to take them out! Unfortunately, my camera was in there and in the process of swinging my bag, taking treats in & out and getting home- my Oriental Chicken Salad Dressing leaked. (Insert a humungous pouty lip here) It leaked right into and on my camera. Needless to say... my camera is DEAD! It won't turn on and the insides are filled with oily liquied. Luckily I saved the card and pulled the pictures off in the computer slot. But the camera is shot! I am so SAD! So until I get a new one.... pictures on the blog are gonna be slim! Dang!

It just happened that while I was in line, the man behind me asked me how many kids I had because he had extra tickets. He paid for our whole family! SCORE! Free movie! Totally make my day! YEAH! Oh... and the movie was great too! LOL

Everybody was KungFu Fighting

We took the family to Kung Fu Panda 2 today. I love to hear my family laugh! What a good show! "IIIII luuuuuuuvvvvvvv yooooooooou guyyyyyyyyyyys!!!! LOL

GNO: Jane Eyre, Part 2

A while back we had a GNO (in April to be precise) to go see the new Jane Eyre movie in the theater. It took us a bit but as promised we had our "Long Version of Jane Eyre" Party tonight. We watched the 2-disk (like 4 hours! Holy Cow!) Masterpiece Theatre Version tonight. Tons more info in this one, for sure! I actually really liked both versions. Both add a different dimension to the story. And so far Mr. Rochester has been dreamy in both- a jerk in both but a dreamy one nonetheless!

We had tons of yummy treats, lots of visiting, laughing, professional hand rubs, nail painting, and even crying. (Mr. Rochester can be so mean sometimes!;) Thanks to my Sunshine, Jen for hosting! You're awesome! I got guilted into (ok by my own conscience and not the girls) borrowing the book. Figure I better find out all the other info that they keep saying isn't in the movies. Wowzers- it's a BIG book though! In fact, I think everyone checked out a book or a movie from Jen's extensive (a huge understatement) video/book Library. We are all gonna be busy in the next few weeks. Then maybe we can watch another version! Yeah!

Family Visit: Movie & Popcorn

After a morning of swimming and presents and naps, we took everyone to Minnesota for Gnomeo & Juliet today. It was a cute show and we were the ONLY ones in the Theater. Too funny! We bought a large popcorn and drink and asked for some extra paper bags so we could fll them for the kids. Well, the lady gave us our larges AND filled bags for all the kids AND gave them all a drink as well. SPOILED! LOL

As if that wasn't enough popcorn, we decided to make KTuck's Chocolate Popcorn for our guests tonight. It is SOOOO YUMMMMMY! The little kids were right there to help me. What great helpers, we have! ;) Even though it was bedtime, we all had our share and even had some extra to send home with Grandpa. Unfortunately, I think I'm gonna be sick for a week! Too........... much.......... sugar! ;) LOL!



Wow! What a busy, fun weekend! Thanks to Shauna, Grandma Karla, Ryler and Grandpa Randy for coming to visit us! We had a fabulous time! Come back anytime. Luv ya!

GNO on Broadway

After our long TOFW weekend, Jen Mausolf was having Mormon-girlfriend withdrawals. All Winter, I kept telling her how much she missed us but.... some people just don't listen! Being the good friend that I am- LOL!- we planned a little intervention. OK, it was completely her idea but nonetheless she's totally getting a major fix tonight!
We tried a new place for our GNO dinner. It was totally convenient because it was on the same street as the Theater and YUMMMY! We went to Toscana on Broadway. http://www.toscanadowntown.com/ I tried the COQUILLE ST JACQUES- Shrimps, scallops and lobster cooked with mushrooms, asparagus, tomatoes and artichokes in a light lobster sauce. Così delizioso! I love going to dinner with the ladies! I always laugh at our choices of conversation pieces. We are always good for a laugh or two. Tonight,  I totally laughed when I told the waiter we wanted separate checks. His reply was- "I've been doing this a long time and you are all women. I figured as much!" Darn! We're so predicable sometimes.



After dinner and being abandoned by some of our wimpy friends (JK- but some were NOT in the MOOD for a Charlotte Bronte's classic tale of romance and woe. LOL To each is own, I guess), we took a short & wet walk down to the Fargo Theater. It has been raining all day!!!!!! Mother Nature obviously wanted us to be prepared for the novel's gloomy atmospheric tone. Well, it worked! ;) Can anyone say... enough puddles already? 
Alright get ready for a Shocker!!!!- before the movie even started, we made it to our seats. Can you believe it? A first for us, I think! Several other lovely ladies joined us for our Broadway Movie at the Dowtown Fargo Theater (located on Broadway). It was fun to try a different theater. We chose to sit on the balcony and were serenaded by the organ. It was way fun! The organist played all different kinds of songs. When the movie started, the organ was lowered down into the stage. Pretty neat!
I, of course took pictures of all us lovely ladies. They always give me such a hard time- stinkers!!!! Julie's mom is in town so she joined in our fun. She must have been getting popcorn when I took pictures cuz she's not in the collage BUT she was there. Don't worry though- I took a picture of her at dessert! LOL

This was my 1st Jane Eyre experience. I heard there are like 18 film versions of the novel? Insane! But I did enjoyed this version. Of course, some may say that this version jumps all over the place and leaves out tons of information BUT when you are in a Jen Sandwich lack of info is NOT a problem. LOL! I had plenty of info on everything that was left out! It was funny because probably half of us have never read the book or seen the movie. I am told that the other film versions tell much more of the story so, we are planning a big "Long Version of Jane Eyre" Party in June. Shall be a joy, I'm sure! ;)

After the movie, a group of us decided to try out the newly remodeled Nichole's Fine Pastry Shop quickly before it closed for the night. We haven't been there forever! They have so many yummy dessert choices and tons more space than last time we went. Fancy Shmancy! I tried the hot chocolate and the Crème brûlée. Both were awesome! This was Brooke's first time at Nichole's. We laughed when she came out with a tray FULL of goodies. Turns out it was hers and Jen's but we had to tease her. LOL! Some of the other ladies tried amazing things like Lemon curd Tart, Fresh Fruit Tart, Waldorf Astoria Cake, Basic Cheesecake, and the gold topped Chocolate Feuilletine Tower- which I just had to take home for my Hubby! Thanks for letting me out for the night, Love! [He took all the kids swimming tonight. His is a brave man!]

I love GNO!!

Thanks Jen for needing a fix so we could get together!

Much Needed GNO

Despite the Suburban trying to thwort my plans for a successful GNO [it broke down on the side of the road in Casselton after piano lessons], my boyfriend came to my rescue. He drove all the way out to get Liberty & I and then even watched Julie's boys so she could come with me. (Thanks Love!)

Julie & I even amazingly made it to Olive Garden in time to order with the other ladies. It was a great size group which once again was in a rush. Poor waitresses! LOL!!! Cheryl O., Teri, Lisa M., Marie W., Bobbi & Katie, Julie M., Jill, KTuck and I enjoyed each other's company as we scarfed down our dinner. Oh the sacrifices we make to get out for a night! ;)

A tad bit late [oops!] but some of us ventured to the Century for Jennifer Aniston & Adam Sandler's new movie, Just Go With It. Let's just say.... LOVE Jennifer Aniston & Bailee Madison! AND That's all we're gonna say 'bout that! Save your money people and watch it on Netflix when it's free & with a big group of people to split the cost! Sorry ladies! Good to be with you though! We'll hopefully pick a winner next time. ;0) I did save my night however by watching Forever Young when I got home. Now that is a REALLY, REALLY, GREAT movie- So watch that one instead!

Despite the late start and the bad movie- it's always good to be with the ladies!- So thanks for joining me! It was a much needed GNO!

Life As We Know It

Life as we know it lately can be wrapped up into 4 small phrases....
1. Winter Blues due to severe, freezin' cold, snow storms
2. Ibuprofen & barf bags
3. A fun list of Synonyms --confined, enclosed, limited, restricted, housebound, shut-in
 AND
4. Stir-Crazzzzy! (definition: Slang anxious, tense, etc. from long, close confinement, as in prison.)
Sounds like quite a few ParTay crashers to me!

Well, it looks like the worst is FINALLY over but
Needless to say....MAJOR INTERVENTION NEEDED for this Momma!!!!!!
What better medicine than a GNO with some awesome friends?
Tonight, I got to get out for a bit for a little DQ and a good Chick Flick. Just what I needed! Thanks Brett for letting me out & getting the kids out to play as well. You're awesome!

Trying to get as far away from my prison as possible- Haylie, D, KTuck, KBro, Ellen and I met in a different State for dinner. Technically it's only 15 minutes away but at least I can say I left ND. ;) [Important GNO NOTE to Amber: No Olive Garden! Can you believe it? Are you proud of us for branching out of our normality?] Good food... but some IF-y conversation. LOL! Prego conversation is always fun for those who are 18 or husband-less at the moment. Sorry to D & Ellen- We still luv you even if you choose to never come back! LOL

Then Bobbi & McKenzie came and we joined Holly Berenson (Katherine Heigl) and Eric Messer (Josh Duhamel- hot!) for a good laugh at what being a parent is really about! Good laughs, that's for sure! But once again... not the best show for those 18, husband-less, kid-less or pregnant for the 1st time. LOL! Dang!- We really aren't trying to drive friends away or scare people to death. Sorry ladies! But for me... it was FUNNNNNNNY!
Basically it's all about-

But it was also about....

What a great night, awesome friends 

and a good reminder of the Seamons' motto:

"If you can laugh at it... You can live with it"

Well, here's (clinkclink) to finding a few things

to laugh about with family! LOL!

Good luck! Toodles!

A Movie & some wool socks

For a fun little outing in the middle of a Fargo Blizzard, we decided to go to the movies. We saw Disney's Tangled. So darling! A keeper! Everyone loved it!

Then we made a stop to Scheel's for some warm wool socks. We really need them if we're gonna be ice skaters. (FREEZIN' feet are not fun!) While we were there, we decided to take a ride on the Ferris Wheel. The last time we were there- it was New Years 2010. Crazy, how time flies. Justice opted out but Glory just barely reached the height limit for the first time. She was ecstatic and way braver than her Mom. Don't rock the boat, baby! Lots of fun AND warm socks! Score!

We're just grateful we got home safe! Gotta love a Fargo Blizzard!

GNO- Girl's Night Out

I got out tonight for a GNO. I just love the ladies here! Heidi, Deanne Stevenson (she just moved here to work at NDSU), Jen M., KTuck and I went to Olive garden for dinner. I know, I know.. we ALWAYS go there! LOL! But it's a crowd pleaser and close to all the theaters. So... bring on the soup and salad! Besides- it really is "Soup Weather" out here these days. YUMMMY! Thanks ladies. Hopefully, our Winter Blues conversation didn't scare you too badly! LOL! We'll all be laughing about it together in May, I promise. Oops! I slacked in my photographerical duties so just let your mouth water instead: ;)

Next, we met Teri Z and Cheryl Oster at West Acres for the 8:20 showing of RED! I realize I've seen it before but it really IS that good! And besides, I really LUV Jen! ;) Thanks ladies for the good laughs and fun times. Luv ya! (Teri- just Follow the Spirit!- I'm sure your Training will be fabulous as always! Besides, I think you get bonus points for hanging out with the Stake women! LOL)

GNO rocks!!!!

RED Date Night

As soon as we got back from vacation and frantically cleaned out the van, we dropped the kids off at the Tucker's for Babysitting group. Oh my heavens! What a crazy, fun weekend!
We met our dear friends, the Ironroads for a movie & dinner! We went to the new Bruce Willis movie, RED! So good! We laughed the whole time! It is definitely buying worthy! It was funny, a love story, had a great cast, and a perfect ending! I love movies like that! (It even killed off the icky lady from our favorite show- the Unit. Yeah!!! I totally realize it wasn't the same character but somehow I feel that justice has been served! LOL)

 Here's some of the cast:

Afterwards, we stopped by Qdoba to share a bit of dinner. Yummmy! We love being with the Ironroads! Thanks guys for getting out with us! Luv ya! Thanks Brett for still dating me after 15 years! XOXO!

Friday Movie Night & Ribs

In celebration of Brett's Bday, the Ironroads offered to make him ribs! YUMMMY! So, we had Matt and Haylie over for Friday Movie Night. The Larsens are "people of demand" so they came and went as they were needed elsewhere. But it was fun to have some or all of them at one point or another. I really got into the Fall cooking tonight! It smelled wonderful! I made Smashed Butternut Squash from our garden. (OMH! I could eat this every night!) We had a fresh spinach salad and HUGE baked potatoes. (Thanks Potters!) I LOVE food- well, eating it anyways! Thanks for celebrating Brett with us, guys!

 One funny thing....I took a couple of pictures of those I knew would be leaving early and then oops! That was it! We didn't get any pictures of Brett, Haylie, Baby Sophie or me. So Saawee! ;) Here's a picture of Brett & I though from his actual Bday. We were there-- I promise!

For the Movie part....

HTTYD came out today. We love this show. So cute!!! What a fun night! We continued our celebration with pink milk, Hiccup, popcorn, Twizzlers, Strawberry Oreos and Baby Sophie crying in the back room. ;) LOL! Poor Baby! (or should I say- poor Kenzie) It's tough belonging to Partay families!

Happy Birthday Brett! We love ya!

Girls Night Out: Charlie St Cloud

I got out for a much needed GNO! KBro, Alma, Jill, Heidi, Bobbi, McKenzie, Lauren and I went to see Charlie St. Cloud with Zac Efron. Sooooo cute!!! Oh... and the movie was too! LOL! Definitely a chic flick but one that I would see again. Charlie taught us to cherish life and make the most of it! And also that real good-lookin' men DO cry! ;)

 

After the movie, a few of us braved the late night (O.K.- You know your group of friends are getting older when 9:15 pm is too late for most of them! LOL! What happened to us?? We used to close the place down.) and went for dessert at Ruby Tuesdays. French fries and ice cream- that's all I need to make a GNO complete! ;) Well and a little really late night stop for a 49 cent McDee's ice cream cone is always fun too! Well, unless it's $1.07 instead!!! ARGGGGH! What happened? Did the price of cows double overnight? Hello MickyD- that did NOT make us very happy! Thanks KBro for staying up really, really late to chat! Luv ya!

Thanks for getting out with me ladies!

(Well to those who didn't go to sleep before 9

or were eating dinner and couldn't come out for dessert with us!

Uh-hum- Yah... You know who you are! LOL!)

We missed ya!

Awesome Movie- Perfect Date Night

We had the most awesome Date Night for babysitting group tonight! To start, it's cuz I have a very HOT boyfriend! ;) Next, we love a good movie! And finally, we have awesome friends!

We went to see Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz in their new movie, Knight and Day. LOVE it! It is a total "we're so buying it" movie! Action, laughter, love! So good! Both Roy and June were hilarious!

Here's the Super Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDoNfrBlY3o&feature=player_embedded

(Ryan- you so missed out, Slacker! You owe Kenzie a movie!)

Next, we headed over to the Larsens for dinner and hanging out with good friends. The men were in charge and it was AMAZING! Totally a manly meal and delicious! They BBQed steaks on Ryan's brand spankin' new grill, baked potatoes, had salad, fresh peaches, corn on the cob, green beans with mushrooms & bacon, frappe' & Pee water (aka Mt Dew LOL!), and two different kinds of awesome strawberry desserts. It was fabulously yummy! Thanks guys- you are AMAZING! Food, action, luv and laughter- and that was just dinner! LOL! The whole night was perfect! Thanks to our friends and my HOT date! I love dating you! XOXO!

(PS Thanks Tuckers for watching all the kiddos!)

Utah Vacation: Partay @ the Davis'

The Davis Family is AWESOME!!! We ended up invading their home for 6 nights- 2 more than they had even expected. They were way more than generous. Thanks guys! We sure luv ya!

We had so much fun with them! Like I said, the kids ended up being inseparable. Victoria & Halle are soul mates= Dora-loving, swimsuit-wearing, talented artist, girly girls. Too cute! And Brett & I love visiting with Cheri & Dixon. We laugh the whole time. Cheri fed us like we were Royalty- seriously- this woman can cook and clean ;) like no other. Just get her sink full of suds ready and she's set. LOL! Love ya, lady! We laughed, played and kept them up till all hours of the night EVERY night. Hopefully, they got some sleep when we left. LOL! Here's some of the fun we had with the Davis family:

The little girls wanted to swim in Halle's pool everyday.

The Davis' have a program that came with their computer. It's so totally hilarious! Everyone had a blast except for Liberty. She wasn't a fan. (Sorry sweetie!) But the faces were pretty funny! We laughed so hard!

They even spoiled us with an Outdoor Movie Extravaganza! Aunt Shauna joined us for the fun. After a fabulous dinner of delicious Teriyaki bowls and a elite-restaurant-worthy Red Velvet Cake, we made our way outside. They set up a big screen and the projector for a movie under the stars. The little girls had a movie night of their own all snuggled in Dixon & Cheri's bed- an Island Barbie Princess paradise. Outside, there was Eragon, popscicles, popcorn, fire & sm'ores- what more could you ask for? Cheri & I never made it outside. By the time we cleaned up the kitchen- (did I mention her sudsy sink?)- & putting the little ones to bed, the rest of the fam were coming in. What can I say?- us ladies can chit-chat, for sure. ;) Thanks for the fun memories! We had a blast!

There was tons more fun to be had at the Davis Hotel. We could have stayed there forever.

And of course, I mentioned the food, right? Cafe Cheri- AMAZING!!! She is fabulous. We had fresh fruit smoothies every morning- like "pick raspberries and strawberries from the garden" kind. Treats galore- good enough to look fake AND delicious meals. It was heaven! I wasn't sure that my family would actually come home with me. LOL!

On our last day with them we went to see little Miss Halle perform in the South Weber Fair. (We missed her in the Parade because mornings are NOT our thing) But we did get to see her dance. She was so darling! Awesome job, Missy! You looked beautiful! We all enjoyed a snowcone when her performance was through. There had to be like 50 flavors to choose from. Crazy & yummy!

That night, the Dads took the kids to the Fireworks. They had lots of fun! Cheri & I were supposed to go shopping and clean out my vacation-mess van. I do think Cheri made a trip to the store fast but then we spent the rest of the night talking instead. Oops! Oh well- who needs a clean car, right?

We had so much fun with the Davis family. Thanks guys! You are such an awesome family. Thanks for letting us be a part of it for a few days. Luv ya! (Even if you don't read my blog;)

The A Team Date Night

  "I love it when a plan comes together."
-Col. John 'Hannibal' Smith

We had made plans for a while to go see the new A Team movie with Matt & Haylie. I have to admit I wasn't a cheerleader of the idea. I remember faguely watching a few episodes of the old TV show but not enough to get hugely excited about the remake. Well, I was wrong!! We had babysitting group tonight (Thanks Tuckers!) so the Larsens joined us and the Ironroads for our date. The movie was great! We really, really enjoyed it. It was funny, action-packed and very well done. Everyone did a fabulous job. TWO thumbs up from the Seamons. ;)

Looking back at the good ol' days:

Welcoming in the new generation:

After the movie, we met some more friends at the Pizza Ranch. The food was ok but the service was fabulous. AND the company even better! I just love friends that you can laugh with. Since there was four of us couples- the guys decided they are The A Team themselves. LOL! They had a disagreement about which part they get but I think it came down to this: Brett is Hannibal, Ryan is Face, Jamison is Murdock and Matt is B.A. Baracus. (Sorry Matt- the minority is hit again, big guy! ;) We had a blast! Between scaring the lady at the next table with Murdock's butt shot and a little foul language, I'm surprised that we didn't get kicked out! Thanks a lot- Murdock! Good thing your wife loves you! ;) Get your bike ready, buddy-- you're gonna need it if you want to come next time! LOL!

I LOVE date night!

(especially when the plan comes together! LOL!)

Bowling's next- anybody up for the challenge?

Date Night with the Webers & Ironroads

Along with a few other families (the members have switched tons over the last several years due to people abandoning Fargo--- LOL:) on every other weekend, we do a Babysitting group so that Brett and I can get out on a date without paying extra for a sitter. You have to be willing to survive one night of chaos (9-12 children for 4 hours) for 2 awesome free dates. We love it!!!! And the kids really look forward to spending time with their friends. It's a WinWin situation.

Tonight, the Tuckers watched the kids for us (Thanks guys) so we could go out on a final date with the Webers and asked the Ironroads to come along. WOWzers- let's pretend I didn't actually say final--- we'll call it "last in Fargo" date. :( Brett is out of town next week, then we leave on vacation and then the Webers are leaving Fargo before we get back. Crazy! Where does time go? I remember the first time I met Ashlee. We were at Lindonwood park for a Mommy & Me Summer Playgroup. We sat and chatted on the stairs of the playground equipment and exchanged phone numbers. That was it! We've been frinds ever since. We've had our ups and downs of doing things on a consistent basis but we are sure gonna miss the Weber around here. And wish them the best of luck in their job hunt and future adventures. Luv ya guys!

OK--I gotta stop thinking about my friends that are leaving me----- so, tonight we decided to spend our date on movie and a dinner & in that order. We went to Iron Man 2 down at the Fargo Theater. I've never been there but it reminded me alot of the Murray Theater when I was growing up in Utah. It is an older building that can only show one show at a time. It can be used as a stage or a screen depending on what's going on there. It has a balcony so we decided it'd bee fun to see the movie from up there. We were right! We even sat next to each other (winkwink, Matt!) so you really knew we were there together especially because it felt like we were practically on each others laps, the chairs were so small. LOL! But, the movie was fabulous! Brett said he thought the beginning was a little slow. WHAT????? I guess that half-dressed Stark cheerleaders and Ironman jumping out of an airplane at a 100 miles an hour is just not doing it for him these days. LOL!

We spent the rest of the movie trying to find a costume that the boys could dress us girls up in but none of them were appproved. Although I TOTALLY disagree. I mean-- look at this costume!!!!! What husband doesn't think this could be fun? LOL! I think you should change your mind, Matt! Regardless, this movie is a keeper. LOVED it!!!!

After the movie, we went to dinner at Mexican Village which is  funny because we forgot Haylie doesn't like Mexican food until we had already sat down. Stinky girl-- you need to speak up!! Thank goodness for the American section of the menu. In the end, the food wasn't that great so we're thankful we had awesome company. We so enjoy our friends here in Fargo. We are very lucky to be surrounded by such fabulous people. Thanks for getting out with us. We always have a blast!

Good Luck Webers--- bring the kids over a few times this week. We will miss you so much!!!!

ManDate

I guess Matt was tired of us girls always getting out for fun so it was only a matter of time before the guys had a "ManDate" of their own. Let's keep the "mandate" word to us ladies though. Some of the guys are a little weirded out by it! LOL! Brett went out with Matt Ironroad, Ryan Larsen, Nick Weber, Sean Brotherson and Dave Roberts to the movie Robin Hood tonight. I think they should have held out for the A Team since I'm not sure that I want to see that one but they are men and sometimes they choose not to listen to me. RUDE!!! AND since the photographical historian was not invited (me!;)- you'll just have to believe that it really did happened. LOL!

Just so you know-- there was no chance of contact of any kind (if you were worried that being on a "mandate" was gonna be weird) because they sat far enough apart to deny even going together. LOL! Oh I love you men. You crack me up!!!!

Girl's Night OUT!!!!!!

Dinner & a movie with the GIRLS was a NECESSITY tonight for me! Brett's going MIA&OFT AGAIN. (Missing in action & Out Of Town)------ Can you tell that I'm having fairness issues with 2 weeks of sick family members, broken toilets, ripped up bathrooms, rainy weather and then a hubby that's gonna kick his feet up and eat out and hot tub and have a mint left on his pillow each night for a week? LOL!! winkwink I LOVE ya Honey!!!! Don't enjoy it too much-- that's not real life Buster! [In all seriousness though- I know he'd take me with him in a heartbeat & he is the hardest worker & best looking hubby in the world. MY perfect mix of Edward & Jacob all wrapped in one PERFECT package! OH Baby!]
So off the pitypot and back to tonight. Ya gotta LOVE email! (How did I ever live without it???-- Those of you who remember my pre-RS days will find that funny! LOL) Fourteen of my girlfriends got out with me tonight. So much fun! [Twelve came to dinner, then 2 had to leave but 2 more came for the movie. Thanks for coming, Haylie & Tanya! I shoulda pulled my camera out at the movie but.... some people ran out the door as soon as it was over. ;) LOL! ahem...T girl! So glad you ladies could come though.]
We met at Olive Garden for Soup & Salad- LOVE it! And presented presents for Jen since her Bday is on Saturday. Happy Birthday lady! We luv ya!

Then made our way to the chick flick Letters to Juliet. It was a lot slower paced movie then I've seen lately (Trust me--Sherlock Holmes & The Unit are not slow paced movies) but it was really cute. True Love and Happily Ever After is always a good plot for a girl's night out.
Thanks ladies. It's always fun being with ya all!
 Anyone up for getting out tomorrow and Thursday and Friday and Saturday? LOL

To Kill a Mockingbird with Home-made Pizza

NOTE**** No animals especially mockingbirds were harmed during the making of this Family fun night!

This week, our Family Friday Movie Night consisted of Gregory Peck's To Kill a Mockingbird and Home-made Pizza.

Liberty borrowed the movie from the Lueck's. Frankly, I was a little concerned if any of them would even watch it but the whole night was great! The movie's message is a little deep for their age but they seemed to like it. Victoria actually told me that we need to watch it again for another movie night. So, thumbs up from the Seamons.

For dinner, the girls helped me make the dough. Don't look too close for hair nets. Just feel  LUCKY you didn't join us. LOL! They had a blast and that's what counts right?

Everyone did a great job at making their own pizza. I have quite the creative group of kids. :) Even Glory smooshed out her dough, spread the sauce and piled stuff on. Too fun!

With our leftover dough, we made pretzel bites. Not the right kind of dough but no one cared. A little cinnamon and sugar makes everything good!

We sure miss ya Dad but

Happy Movie Night!
