ATTENTION: Blogging update with lots of PICTURES!!

Okay So I have a few pictures on this post. This last week was a fun one with the kids. Brandon and I had promised the kids that they would get a sleepover at our new apartment. We had mentioned that forever ago and needless to say they did not forget...hahha not that I was hoping they would...but they were quite persist ant in mentioning it to their mom. So since Kathy and Jeff's anniversary was last week we took the kids monday night. I wanted to try to make it a fun and special night and I think they had a GREAT time. I hope they did. They picked me up from work since I was over at Micmac doing visual and we headed back to the apartment where we had a fancy dinner with candles and everything...I think the plastic cups and plates makes it the fanciest meal EVER! We had a blast trying to take this picture because uncle Brandon was not home yet so we had to take this one ourselves...We have a few where I wasn't quite quick enough to make the picture...hahaa. We watched Flushed Away and the Smurfs...I know smurfs...you guys are all jealous it was AMAZING. We had lots of treats and snack and facecloths that grew. The night was a long night, since the kids were not quite used to our apartment, Jake was scared of our front door for some reason and wouldn't go past it unless the lights were on. So after some rearranging, Jake and Brandon were on one couch, Jessica was on the love seat and Sarah and I were in my room. Brandon ended up in the room with us girls since he learned even though I warned him that Jake is a furnace when he sleeps...his think hair just traps the heat I think. So we had Sarah between us and we had arms flung across us all night...hahaha. I ended up on the love seat with Jess for some of the night, and then on the couch with Jake when we woke up too...so I didn't have the best sleep ever but we had fun and that's all that matters. Plus I got to give Kathy and Jeff a nice break and I feel so good about that!!! In the morning we had a healthy breakfast...well at least we tried... I wanted to clean all the kids up so they all got baths and then I had some fun with Sarah. As you can see she has some curl to her hair...and she doesn't always love it...actually she hates it and anyway wants it straightened. So I blow dried and straightened her hair and wow the difference. I wish I could go and be her hair dresser every day because she just seemed so much more confident which is good for Sarah because she is so so shy!!! But it did take some time so it's definitely something that won't happen too much until she can do it herself...but doesn't it make the girls look like twins even more...man they're adorable in their matching shirts compliments of Uncle Bran and me at Christmas!! So we spent the morning relaxing and waiting for nanny to come and pick them up with miss Georgia. We passed the time by watching an all time favorite movie of mine and the kids which is High School Musical. I recommend it if you have never seen it come over and we'll watch it!! It's super cute to watch the kids watch it and sing along. They are both quite good at singing along to the movie...Jessica's favorite song is my least favorite song in the movie, but I'm starting to love it since she belts it out so well!! We had a great time with the kids, but I think next time we will trade with nanny and take Georgia...hahhaha!!!!!

Don't worry kids I love ya, and we'll have to have you over again once uncle Brandon has recovered from the last sleepover!!!hahhahha!!!!

So we finally have a new manager at work, and it's been going really great. Laura really fits well into the team. She is super organized and that's a perfect fit for me because I love organization. We are working super hard to get a 95% on our store audit...if we do lunch will be bought for us. So we have been cleaning and organizing and doing the visual super good. So fingers crossed for us we'll score high...wish us luck!!!! Sonja might be the only one to truly appreciate this picture, other then Jeff and I....but this is when Ashley from Coronation Street was in the store. We were beyond excited that he came to the store even though I didn't get to meet him...oh well I still met Sunita!!

I don't know of everyone knew but my sister-in-law Keah went to Disney. She had a blast and came back with a tan...I am way jealous...I didn't want to sit next to her because I would totally look like a ghost next to her. So she saw a lot of High School Musical in Disney, again way jealous. For anyone who doesn't know I LOVE high school musical...I know it seems like I should be 12 years old, but sadly I'm 24...hahhaa! I own the movie and the soundtrack and I'd like to buy High School Musical 2. So keah being the sweetie that she is brought me back some yummy mints and High School Musical Stickers!!!! She gave them to me at church and I could hardly contain my excitement! Then this morning I get an e-mail from my friend Becca and what does this exciting e-mail contain...Pictures of East High in Utah where the movie was filmed! Becca lives near it and drove by and took pictures to send along to me...she's a big fan too!!! Were too big Geeks when it comes to high school musical, but hey it's good clean fun!! So I posted a picture from the movie and the front of the school, too cool and then the picture that Becca took...it i sooo the same. I so wish I lived close by so that I could go and get my picture taken in front of it!!! Anyway I just had to share my joy of these pictures!! You can all call me a geek I really would understand...hahahha!!!

I think that's it for right now. I'm excited for the One Tree Hill Party...it's the 100th episode and it looks sooooo good! We're having a potluck tonight and I cannot wait...there is going to such good food and an ice cream cake!! There will be pictures taken tonight so look forward to them in a future post!!

Hope you guys are having a Great Week!! Can't wait to read all your upcoming posts!!!

Such Excitement...

A Big CONGRATULATIONS goes out to Kristine and Davis on the arrival of their beautiful baby girl Kailey!

I have never been more excited to get a phone call from my sister then then I was on Saturday afternoon when she called to tell me the baby had arrived and it was a GIRL!!! woohoo I could finally buy something gender specific...which I did when I arrived at work. Sunday evening Julia and I headed down to the hospital to meet little miss podeszwa and she is a beauty. I think we were both super excited to get to hold her...definitely hard to pass her on because she is such a cutie pie! Kristine and Davis were like old pros when it came to the baby...I was quite impressed for only being parents for a day, they were super stars! Kailey is such a lucky little girl to have such great parents! I think what was especially exciting for me was that Kristine was my first old school church friend to have a baby, that I've actually gotten to go see in the hospital. We've had many friends from our youth days have babies, but unfortunately, they all live far away, so this was really special for me. I think Kristine and I go back to ohhh nursery together, so this was really awesome to see her now with her own little girl. So congratulations guys, we love you so so much and are so excited for your newly expanded family!!!!

My next excitement has to do with the upcoming school year... so we've applied to school and were playing the waiting game about interviews which was the next step in this process. We both had interviews at the mount, which went well...and then today Brandon and I had a fun 2 hours and a bit drive to St.FX for another interview for me. So I think that one also went really well...it was a group interview and I actually had a lot of fun at it. When I got home though I had the biggest surprise...Brandon was checking the message and he said that the mount had called for me...so I called Lynn back and she said that they would like to offer me a place in their Education program for this upcoming September!!!! It still doesn't quite feel real, but it's super exciting to know that we now have the potential to stay in the city. I really want to stay here and go to the mount...but we'll have to wait and see and weigh the options for our little family...but fingers crossed we get to stay here...I love my family O'Hearon and Bing side, and would miss them so much...I'll move if I have to but this offer to the program at the mount is definitely weighing the scales towards staying here. So wish us luck!!

Coronation Street is the next level of excitement for me, even though i missed it today. Sonja got me hooked on the show way way back in the day and now I hate to miss it. I know many of you are just thinking it's another soap opera...but its so much better...it's way more real...with people in every social class...real life problems...not everyone is rich and beautiful with perfect teeth...and they hangout in the local pub...not fancy restaurants...I just love the show. So anyway I get out of my interview today and Jeff had text messaged me to tell me that Ashley Peacock ( he is a character from the show who was in town for this meet and greet thing) was IN THE STORE TODAY...I'm sooooo jealous. He got an autograph for me and he got his picture taken with Ashley...so I told him I want a copy for my roots scrapbook and to post on my blog...so send it along Jeff. I was hoping he'd come in tomorrow when I was in but no such luck. So now Jeff and I have both gotten to meet a Corrie person...I met Sunita and had my picture taken and Jeffs met Ashely...I wonder who will be next!!!

The final thing I wanted to mention was that I've recently been reading the books by Stephanie Meyer....Twilight and New Moon and I'm HOOKED...Ashely I hope you don't mind I borrowed the second book from my mom...I borrowed it on Sunday night and finished this afternoon...I couldn't put it down...so she has the book to return to you...I hope it's okay...and I'm hoping you won't mind if I borrow the third book sometime...I think kathy has it right now...let me know. I'm not going to lie at first when everyone was posting about these books, I was like...hmmm Vampires...I don't know about that...but I LOVED THESE BOOKS SO FAR... I can't wait to see the movie. Kathy asked me tonight if I like Edward or Jacob more...and I think I'd have to say I'm an Edward Fan...he just loves Bella sooooo much and doesn't he sound super dreamy....I know it's just a book, but you have to use your imagination when you read. If you have not read these books get them or borrow them because you'll be hooked...thanks to everyone whose read them and passed on the suggestion, because they are sooooo good!!! Okay so after posting this the first time...I went on the web site that Stephanie Meyers has and there was some info about the movie and the cast...so this is a picture of the Cullen family...I was quite excited to see this. I believe Edward is being played by the actor who played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter...and Carlisle is being played by Jennie Garth (kelly 90210) husband Peter Facinelli...the one thing I don't love about this picture is the woman playing Esme she's the woman who played Jane Doe on Greys anatomy...I didn't really love her...but maybe this will change my opinion on her. I'm super excited for this movie to come out....too bad it's not until December 12th...anyway read the books and for those who have hope you enjoy the picture!!!The Cullen Family... so excited!!
