CHRISTMAS 2008

I swear every year I should get a lump of coal, and every year I get to spoiled on Christmas. Gift Cards, and Jewlery and Purses...oh my! But this year I think I was very Spoiled. I got a Miracle. WICKED tickets. I totally don't deserve them but I am not giving them back. I have wanted to this show for three years now.I went on line Midnight the night they went on sale. And they were already close to sold out when I checked. I don't know how my mom did it. But I am going to Wicked!!!! And the seats are awesome. I don't go till April but I promise to take pictures and you can be for dang sure I will let you all know about it. Merry Christmas. I hope yours was as enjoyable and Peaceful as mine!

Merry Christmas!

I am truly blessed. Just look at all the blessing I have in my life! This year is Jeff and Annie's year to go visit the grandparents back in Kansas City(I'll miss you, but how fun!)....so we thought we would exchange our gifts to each other tonight. We got together at Jason and Mindy's for Dinner. I love spending time with my family. And with the newest addition to our family it was a memorable night..full of laughing,dancing, and just enjoying each others company.I received some pretty great presents but if I can be honest...the best present I ever got was the gift of such an amazing family. My brother and sister's are the most amazing people. Such great parents, siblings, friends, and people. I could not ask for any better gift than that which I already have! Merry Christmas everyone! I know I am Partial but I have the most adorable and amazing nieces and nephews ever!From Left to Right:Noah, Tate, Chloe, me, Gracie,Ryan, Levi, Ellie and Alex.

Happy Birthday Baby Gracie!!!

Gracie Madison Scothern. Born at 11:00am. Weighed 5lbs 8 oz. 18 inches long. Isn't she gorgeous.It is amazing how much you can love someone you just met!!! Sara did such a great job!

Tate and Gracie & Ellie and Gracie.Proud Cousins. They were so excited to hold her. They sang her Popcorn Popping!!Ellie's Favorite song. BFF's for life I'm sure!

Sisters, Sisters!!Chloe loves her baby. She said that she wanted to keep Gracie Forever and ever and ever. I think in this picture she was singing her some lullabyes. Such a sweetheart. She was so happy to have her sister here!

She was awake and looking around. And she looked right at me. She is probably wondering who the weirdo is holding her. Don't worry Gracie it's just your weird Auntie Jame!

Gracie is already wide eyed and awake. I love this picture. She looks so much like Noah.

Early Ideas for Christmas Gifts!

Being that it is black Friday tomorrow...I thought I would give all my friends near and dear an idea of what they could pickup for me at the doorbuster sales. It's not expensive and it is exactly what I am asking Santa for!!!

Midnight Madness!!!

How much fun and madness all in one! So we all decided to meet out there at 9:45 two hours and fifteen minutes before the freaking movie was even supposed to start..and we were at the back of the line. They had games and drawing once we got in there it was a blast. I honestly have to say that I liked the movie. I was setting myself up to be disappointed but I was satisfied by the movie! HOLY HOT KISS!! I have never wanted to be Bella more in my life. And Edward was so intense. My favorite part is still when he saves her in Port Angeles. I was so happy they kept that part in the movie! I give it two thumbs up!! Hopefully this movie does well so they will make the others. Everyone go see it at least once. I'm considering at least three times for myself!!!

My Neck May Belong to Edward...But My Heart Belongs to Mr. Darcy!

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possesion of good fortune must be in want of a wife.....why oh why wan't can't it be me!

I find myself in the same perdicament Elizabeth was in with Mr Wickham. I have been "Dazzled" by another. But today I realized that Edward is no Mr. Darcy. This is just my opionion. I know you all say Poor Girl she doesn't know they're not real. Sillies I know they aren't. But as a single 27 year old women I have to tell myself that one day a man like him will come along. One who will love me inspite of all my flaws. And although I love Edward, I have been Bewitched both body and soul, and I love, I love , I love Mr. Darcy.

Or rather the type of man he is.

And although Edward and he are alot a like. Why settle for the copy when you could have the Original!

Don't I Wish!!

Did I mention I Love Twilight...my friend Karen at work, has this amazing sister who can do cool thing with pictures. Needless to say...I asked her to give me Topaz eyes like Edward. I get sick of Hazel eyes so it is kind of fun to see something new. I dressed up as a Sleepy head for Halloween this year so mind the mask. But I love it.Thanks Karen.
