8 days

That's how long we ended up taking off for Thanksgiving vacation. Cool huh? And I forgot the camera, so the only picture I have is a random one of a funny Mikayla face. We went to Wyoming on Wednesday the 18th so Buck could work for his dad over the weekend and I could go see the musical that my sister directed and that my nieces were in. Sunday we discussed it, and Buck decided that the four classes he had before school let out for the holiday were classes that he could miss. So we stayed in Cokeville until Thanksgiving Day.
That ended up being a convenient decision because Tuesday night Buck and I both came down with the stomach flu that was getting passed around the Boyer family. It was HORRIBLE. We were up all night with the lovely nastiness that comes with the stomach flu (barfing). The next day was pretty rough too. Luckily it was only a 24 hour thing. Another lucky thing is that Mikayla slept through the night, only threw up once, slept it off, and seemed to feel better right away. SOOOOO lucky.
We went to Buck's brother's house in Logan for Thanksgiving dinner. It was WAY YUM, but I didn't eat as much as I would have if I didn't have a bit of a tender stomach. After some visiting and a couple of games we headed back to Provo.
And here we are. The End.

Another one

without pictures. I'm a little embarrassed to throw this out there, but it might be fun to remember some day.
Last night before I went to bed I was watching some interviews with the cast of New Moon on hulu.com. It resulted in some BOGUS dream.

It started with me and some random girls that I don't even know in Wal Mart or some store like that. Talyor Lautner, Rob Pattinson, and Kristen Stewart were doing some appearance there. So I just walked up to talk to them and ended up sitting there between Kristen and Taylor watching all the crazy screaming girls and talking about how insane they looked. Somehow it ended up that Rob Pattinson was at the house we were staying at that night, and he invited us to go with him in his car. I was stting in the front passenger seat, and we started chatting. I asked him how old he thought I was because apparently he thought I was a lot younger. He definitely thought I was 16 or 17, but I let him know that I was actually 23, married, with a toddler. He informed me that he was going to ask Kristen to marry him, so we should hang out and go on double dates and stuff. When I was hanging out with Kristen later she also informed me that they were probably going to get married and we should totally hang out.....

So in my dreams Taylor, Rob, and Kristen are my good friends that I just chat and hang out with. In my actual opinion though, I don't think Rob and Kristen are dating. I just think they're probably pretty good friends after spending so much time together. I think people see their on screen chemistry and really want it to be real. So that's what's on my mind lately. I guess it's on my mind heavily enough to be in my dreams. You can make fun of me if you want, but I'd rather you didn't... hehe.

Sometimes I'm 16

I'm really really excited for New Moon. Everytime I see a trailer on TV I freak out a little.

Rollin' in the Dough

Mikayla is already into Daddy's wallet.

RAAAAAAAAAWR!!!!!!!!

So I'm a little slow on the Halloween post, but..... it was worth the wait right?

Edward

I recently posted a FACEBOOK status update about being excited about NEW MOON that's coming out in... oh 20 days or so. SWEEEEEEET!! And it spurred a discussion about how Robert Pattinson isn't hot enough to be Edward and what actor should be Edward.
(Tangent -->Let me just say this: although Rob isn't what I picture Edward to look like, after watching the movie I totally thought it worked. It bugged me a little at first, but it doesn't anymore. My trick is to think of the books and the movies as two really similar but separate entities. That way it doesn't bug me when the movie doesn't follow the book or the characters don't look like I think they should. I really liked the Twilight movie.)
So I've been trying to think of what actor I would have as Edward. Last night we were watching "The Count of Monte Cristo." (way good flick) And the son in that show has a totally gorgeous perfect Edward face. So I googled Henry Cavill and this is what I found:
I know RIGHT? Maybe this isn't what you think Edward looks like. He should probably have a little lighter hair color at least. But if you don't think this guy is good looking then......uhhhhhhhh okay. The problem is that I think this guy's a little too old to play Edward now. Not sure. There were some other pics that make him look a lot older than this, so I don't know. In at least this picture, he's just right in my mind.
So then, I remembered seeing a picture of someone's version of Edward in one of my friend's facebook applications like a year and a half ago that I thought was just right too. So I looked it up too see what THAT guy looked like, and I found this:
Uhhh..... it's the SAME GUY! What the heck?? I'm not even playing. I totally didn't remember what the guy in this picture looked like. WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

So I don't want to start a heated debate or anything, but I would like opinions. Do you like Rob as Edward? Are you like me and don't think Rob is beautiful enough, but thought it worked after you watched the movie a few times? Do you think this guy is a better Edward? Does this guy look at all like YOU pictured Edward?
And now I'm really in the mood to watch Twilight, which is perfect for Halloween cause it's vampires right? Only problem is that I don't own it. boo.

A fun weekend

Now that it's almost another weekend, I'm documenting last weekend. Mikayla had so much fun with my mom's little microwave cabinet thing. She played with it a lot. She also had some really cute piggy tails on Saturday and Sunday. She looks like such a big girl with her hair like that.

I thought we escaped without picking up the bugs that everyone had, but she started getting sick yesterday afternoonish and woke up a bunch last night. Today she has been feeling yucky. It's not great. I just hope me and Buck don't get it.
