Slide Show of The Host Signing

The Video is working now!

The long awaited night arrived. Friday we were lucky enough to see Stephenie Meyer and get our books signed. Here is a quick recap of the night. We waited in line to get in the building... waited in our seats for her to come. Listened to the Q&A about The Twilight Series and The Host. Yippee, she answered my question that I submitted on tuesday! We waited in line to get our book signed. (Alright, I need to back up here. I felt like the only person there that had actually read the book we were there for... granted it only came out two days before, but I was busting at the seams to talk to anyone about it!) Okay, back to the recap, It's my turn to get my book signed, Stephenie Meyer is the only person I've had a chance to talk with that has actually read the book. So of course, I have to mention my favorite character and why, she perks right up and starts talking to me about how this person developed (so cool!) Then I tell her my tag line that I made up, she loved it and said I should put it on a shirt! All the Barns and Noble people thought it was good too. I totally took all of Kelli's time to talk to Stephenie. I really do feel bad about that, but luckily Kelli still talks to me! On our way out we get our picture taken by one of the workers and she asks us where we go to High School, it was so flattering! We finished off the night with dinner and a LOT of laughing. We really had a blast! Thanks Kelli and Cara for a super fun night!

Some Fun Facts....

Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer the 3rd book in the Twilight Series kicked Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows off the #1 spot on the Best Seller list.

Stephenie Meyer has published 4 books and they are all still on the best seller lists.

The Host has been out for 1 week and it is in the #7 spot for Borders/Amazon best seller list.

The Host is not a part of the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn the 4th book in the Twilight Series will be out August 2nd.

Field Day

Today was Field Day at Jason's school. I was sad I didn't get a chance to go, but he came home in his Field Day shirt and sporting his ribbon. He was a little grumpy about me taking his picture (he's such a Cannon male). I finally got him talking about what he did and he perked up. He's just so cute!

Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day for all the moms! Here are a few videos for the Special Moms in our lives!

Water Guns

I know I have been a little neglectful of my blog, but I have a few very good reasons. First, I have been reading The Host (I wanted to get it finished before the Q&A session tonight with STEPHENIE MEYER... AHHHH) Oh and on a side note, it was FABULIOUS! Everyone must read it, it's totally different then the Twilight books but it's so much deeper. The second reason I have been bad about my blog is because I baby-sit, I am watching the cutest boy named Ethan. Another side note, it really gets confusing when you have an Ian and an Ethan around. So I've been a little busy. Even with all my crazy things, I still have two fabulous little guys that need some love. Here are some pictures of my boys with their new water guns!!! My friend Carrie gave them to us after we watched her little guy Danny isn't that sweet! Well the boys love the guns, and so do I :) Nothing like a little harmless water retaliation!

THE HOST

Emily said that I was addicted to Twilight, She's right but I think we need a broader base, I am a Stephenie Meyer addict. Today her book "The Host" came out and my friend Kelli and I went to wait in line to get a copy of the book, but not just to get the book. We also got a wrist band to meet the Author of the Twilight Series and the host on Friday. Addiction would be a good way to put it when you get up at 5am to get a BOOK. A HUGE THANK YOU TO CARA AND MATT FOR WATCHING THE KIDDO'S! We waited in line for about 3 hours but we had so much fun with other Twilight fans. It's a good thing Barnes and Noble doesn't have a problems with public urination (just kidding). Here are some pictures of our fun wait, check back on Saturday for my pictures of the book signing! Sorry, I need to go I have a book to read!!!
