Twilight
Yes, I am a huge Twilight fan. I read all the books in days. My sweet husband surprised me on saturday by taking me to see Twilight the movie. I loved it. Even Justin loved it. I think it's my new #1 favorite movie!
The casting of everyone, especially Bella and Edward was fantastic. They have incredible chemistry. I love the cheesiness of it.
This was one of my favorite parts. I just loved it. It reminded me of when me and Justin first fell in love. You just want to tell them everything about you, and to know everything about them. I loved how it happened so fast. I can't wait to see it again and again, and to see New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn, once they come out. I hope they release them fast.

Jenny's Product Endorsements
Quilted Northern Ultra Plush is the best toliet paper I have ever used or seen. It is 3-ply, 2 layers of softness plus one layer that feels just like a kleenex, seriously. It's also super absorbent, but doesn't fall apart, like other brands. It can be a little pricey, but I have yet to buy it at full price. You only need a few squares so I think it's a better value over cheaper toilet paper overall, even if you do pay full price.
Kleenex Viva Choose-a-Size Paper Towels are awesome! They are super absorbent and soft, and I like how you can just break off a small piece for a small mess. These too are a little more pricey than the cheapo alternative but it is so worth it. Their rolls last twice or maybe even thrice longer than other brands in my experience.
Lysol Antibacterial Kitchen Cleaner is really good for cleaning off counters and tables and high chairs. Especially with how messy those areas get after feeding a one year old and a two year old. It has 3 settings: spray, squirt, and off.
Windex Original is the best window and glass cleaner in all the land. Other brands don't even compare.Baby Products:
Pampers Swaddlers are the best diapers for babies from birth to size 3. They are so soft and fit so well and absorb so much. They totally helped my babies with blowout prevention. I tried other brands but these diapers would last twice as long as the other brands so these are totally worth the extra money, it ends up being a better value in the long run (in my personal opinion, especially when you have a coupon)
Huggies Supreme Natural Fit Diapers are perfect for older babies and toddlers. When we can afford them and I have coupons for them, this is the brand I like to buy, but regular huggies are good as well.
Aquaphor Healing Ointment is another expensive yet worth the price item. This is great for any type of diaper rash, or any rash on the body. It's been great in the winters when my kids get red rashes on their little faces, or when they have a runny nose to put on their litle noses. It's kind of like a souped up version af vaseline, but works much faster and has more medication.
Huggies Baby Wash and Shampoo is great. It smells great, it easy on their sensitive skin, and the bottle is even easier to grab than other bottles.
Huggies Sensitive Wipes are the best wipes I have used. They are soft yet strong, and I can tear off half if I only need a little bit.
Advil is awesome for headaches or any pain really. Tylenol just doesn't do the trick like Advil. Except you can't take it if you are pregnant.
Tums are good for a number of stomach issues and they have calcium. I take at least two a day.
Nothing is better than Coke at helping my tummy feel better. It's bubbly, sweet, and fun. Don't worry, because I am prego, I only drink about 1-2 per week, if that, but the doctor thinks thats just fine. He said people only start having problems when they drink 3-4 energy drinks per day, or 5-6 cups of coffee. I would have to drink about 15 cokes per day for it to have any effect. 15 November 2008
Michelangelo and his tricycle
Here are some pictures we took right after:
He's such a good little rider. I can't believe how fast this kid is growing up. It's so fun watching him; he's so intelligent and kind-hearted too:
I love my little Wesley guy so much!!!:
Mama loves her Wessy guy too:
Since we realized that we all happened to be wearing hoodies, we became da hooded boyz!:
Hope you enjoyed those pictures. Everything is going fine. Jenny is doing well since the surgery. The baby is growing nicely in her belly. We should find out the gender for sure like around Dec. 10th or something. I think Jenny said this, but thanks to everyone who helped out. We appreciated it so much. It's times like these that you can really feel the Lord's hand helping out through other people. We had more than enough helpers during and after the surgery. Thanks again!

Ultrasound pics
Shopping Day
We all never would have guessed that I would be the one with (almost) three kids at age 23. It was such a needed girls day for me. Being surrounded by three males really makes me crave anything feminine and girl time. I hope I am having a girl so bad. That would be so fun. Yesterday I had two ultrasounds and the doctor said it might be a girl but that he's not sure yet. I hope he's right. I got adorable little pictures of his/her profile and they are precious. Well, gotta go chase two little boys down and make sure they are not getting into anything dangerous. It is way too quiet right about now... By the way, thanks Rox and Can- Saturday was totally specktacular. :)

Wesley is walking!
If people like this video clip and want us to post more, let us know. It's really easy and fun to share with everyone. Here's another one (sorry it's blurry, our camera was being dumb):
For Halloween we dressed up with a Medieval theme as many of you know. We went to my mom's and took Michael and Wesley trick or treating (although it was really just a way for us to get some candy, j/k) :) No, but it was fun and the kids had lots of fun too. Here's a picture of us there:
