ASU Family pictures

Well the King Family barely survived another family picture. Is it just my family or does everyone else have a really high stress level on family picture day. I had everything ready to go. The clothes laid out, twins well rested, kids hair done, when 2 1/2 hours before we were suppose to have our pictures taken Emma got her middle finger slammed in the car door. OUCH! So I thought that it might be broken and quickly ran her to the ER to get it x-rayed. It turned out it wasn't broken thank heavens, but after 2 hours and 15 minutes in the ER Emma and I ran home to get family pictures. I was a little stressed out of how things were going to go. But the kids pulled through and did amazing. Yes it is almost impossible to have all 7 of us cooperate and smile for the camera, but I thought the kids did great.
As many of you know Bret is graduating on Dec. 18th , 2008 and I am a little excited. Ok so I am very excited as you can tell by all the ASU stuff. We had our dear friend Jessica Inglish take our pictures and she was phenomenal(http://www.lmlmphotosessions.blogspot.com/) . She was truly amazing and ended up taking my whole large family pictures a few days later.

Aren't we the cutest family ever. HAHA! We are all just so happy and proud of Bret. He is amazing to me that while he had 5 kids and a wife to support, was the Elders Quorums President, worked 3-4 jobs, he still managed to worked hard to get his Bachelor Degree. I appreciate all he has sacrificed for me and the kids. We love him and are very glad he is ours.

Twilight.....What in the world

Twilight- Yay or Nay?
Ok so I don't consider myself a movie critic, but I definitely have an opinion on this movie.
A whole bunch of us went at 9 p.m. to wait 3 hours to see the movie. We even had fun shirts made up that said "Got Edward?", or " Got Jacob?".
Being with the girls was definitely the highlight of my night. I just didn't really like the movie. I thought the actors couldn't act.
Now this just my opinion so I hope I don't hurt anyones feelings, but I just didn't like the movie. I love the books and it might be because I can use my own imagination and not get to gory,creepy,nerdy,or just plain lame.

I did have fun though with the gals. I think maybe I need to watch it again to give it another chance. It was midnight for heavens sake. Let me know what you thought of it.

Happy Halloween & Sam's dance performance

Yes you heard me......Happy Halloween......Finally!

After having my friend tell me that she has givin up on my blog(thanks for the encouragement Kyle) it got me thinking about how I need to be better at keeping this up. I like it when all of you keep yours up so that I can keep in touch and so I am going to set a new goal. I am going to try to post something new at least once a week. I can do it and I won't let you down(Kyle don't give up on me:).

So hear are my kids all ready to trick-or-treat. This year the twins kind of mixed it up a little by Mallory being Tinkerbell with a crown and a set of yellow wings. Then Audrey was Snow White with a crown and pink wings. They crack me up. I was going to get them all dressed up,but they kept putting all the other things on. It made them so happy so I thought isn't that what this is about. Emma was a groovy chick and that she truly is. She loved it cause we colored her hair orange.
Then it's pretty obvious what Corbin was.....Batman. Then Sam wanted to be a devil so I told her that was great because I wouldn't have to buy a costume. Sam says "Haha mom". So here they all are. We got tons of candy, so much that I can't even keep up with it. YIKES!

This year Sam is on a performing dance/tumbling team. They perform at things like Veterans Day parade, Globetrotter game, Coyote game, and the state fair. This is a picture of her performing at the state fair. She did very well and made us very proud. Her cousin Courtney is also on the performing team, but with the girls a year younger. This is a picture of the two of them before they went on. They are so cute. Afterwards we went on a few rides and had a couple funnel cakes.YUMMY
