The Monster Truck Spectacular & Twilight Midnight Showing

This is a video Cache's Uncle took of him tonight while watching Monster Trucks. Our brother and sister in law flew in for a weekend visit late last night. 

I had made plans with some friends in the ward to see the Twilight Midnight showing. After we picked Brandi and Adam up from the airport, Curt dropped Brandi and I off at the theater. I was excited to see the movie.... BUT NOT SO excited like all the die-hard Twilight fans packed in the theater! All the teenage fans had on "Team Jacob" & Twilight T-shirts, and even some wearing wolf ears. Yep. I felt like I was at a concert with all the whooping and hollering. When the movie started AND each time a favorite character came onto the screen, the audience let out a loud roar of approval, cheers and applause. I know fans have been waiting FOREVER to see the Twilight movie. I'm not such a fan of all the hype or a Twilighter, but I read the books and wanted to see the movie. We had to leave at about 1:30 am because Brandi was feeling so sick. Poor girl. I'll have to finish the movie some other time. Gee, I wonder what happens?! ;) I thought the movie was a bit cheesy and over dramatic. So over dramatic I thought, that the actors didn't make the characters believable in some scenes. I thought some of the scenes were a little awkward between Edward and Bella. I also think they could have picked an actor who was more striking and attractive for Edward. PS. Way too much white make-up. 

I've felt so horrible for my sweet sister Brandi. She is 8 weeks pregnant and has all day morning sickness. I totally know what she is going through, because I had all day nausea and morning sickness with little Cache. It's so rough. Ugh, Yuck! She's a trooper and has been getting plenty of rest nestled on our little couch. I got her some Preggie Pops (thanks to the suggestion of our other sister Stephanie), hopefully those suckers help! Adam and Brandi spent some quality time with Cache tonight. They are so much fun. Cache loves his Uncle Adam and Aunt Brandi so much. Since they weren't up to going out tonight, they had fun playing with Cache and let Curt and I go on a little date. Curt took me out to Mimi's dinner and it was really good. It's one of my favorite restaurants, because they serve breakfast all day long and it's always so delicious. They have great dinners too and every time I go I can get something different and I'm never disappointed. It was nice for Curt and I to enjoy a meal out together sans kid. :) We sure love our little Moose and we're more and more amazed at what a little sponge he is! These are the new words he's said just today: "tight", "fall", "quilt", "excuse me" and "bye dada"! I'm pretty sure that's the first time he's said actual phrases and paired words! So proud of my little munchkin! :) He also says "Shorry" (sorry) ALL the time! It's soooooo cute! If Cache bumps into anyone or anything he automatically says, "shorry"! We LOVE it! He is such a polite little boy. He still signs "please" & "thank you" and I won't give him something until he signs it. I'm the "manners mommy" around here! :)
