Not so much!

Ok, so I watched the 4th Harry Potter and all I have to say is...I don't think so!! Yeah, you heard me right, that kid who's playing my Edward is just NOT acceptable!! I'm not sure what I am going to do, I'm actually somewhat depressed about it all :( I may be wearing a black veil at the premiere of the movie!! I know I have to let it go but I just wanted to let everyone know what my opinion was on the subject. My hope is that when the movie comes out that Robert Pattinson has some hidden charisma that will make me love him as Edward. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen?

Ok, so most of you "Twilight" fans probably already know that the parts of Edward Cullen and Bella have been casted for the upcoming movie. I must admit that I am not very fond of the guy playing Edward, at least from the picture posted on Stephenie Meyer's site. So, I did a google search to find more photos of him. I found far too many with only 1 being a shot that I would consider Edward-worthy. I was rather bummed :( But then I noticed that a lot of his photos had a familiar background topic...Harry Potter. So off to google I go yet again, to search for his name and Harry Potter. Ok, so it turns out that he was in one of the movies!! Perfect!! I can see him in action and then decide if I am going to be wearing black on the day of the opening of Twilight the movie (because I'll be mourning) or if I will be wearing my legendary Edward Cullen Fan Club "Bit_ Me" T-shirt (I blacked out the 1st E because I kept getting funny looks from everyone. Plus my worst fear would have been running into Pres. Draper while wearing it). The hunt for the movies was on! I went visiting teaching yesterday morning and of course the subject came up (she's the one who sent me an email announcing that they had casted Edward). By the end of the visit, I had the first 3 Harry Potter movies in hand, committing to watching them all that day!! And I did...and I really enjoyed them!! Now for the one bad thing about this situation, Robert Pattinson plays Cedric in the 4th movie!!! So, I sat on the couch all day yesterday, watching the first 3, knowing that I'd get to see "Edward" by the end of the day...didn't happen!! I was sooooo sad!! :( So, now the hunt is back on, I have to find someone who owns the 4th Harry Potter movie!! I may just have to go rent it but I think my visiting teaching partner may have said that she has it. I'll be giving her a call this morning. I must see Edward!!

The Rest of Our Vacation

Ok, so I know that I am once again way behind with my blog entries!! Things have just been so crazy lately. But I do promise to try and catch up and then keep up with it :)

We went to somewhat sunny Southern California in November. We spent some time in Disneyland for Hannah's birthday, which I have previously posted about. I just want to quickly share a couple of other photos from the others spots we visited.

We spent some time at the beach. It was chilly but nice to see the beautiful work that the Lord created.

Handsome Gaber's walking along the beach (well, with a little help from daddy, of course) And No, he's still not walking...he's on his own time frame.

Hannah holding some sand in her hand. I thought it was cool how the sun reflected and made it look like she's holding something that's glowing.

Gregory and I posing so I can atleast get into one of the pictures. That's the downfall for being the photographer of the family.

My mom "Lu-lu" enjoying the nice cool breeze. Look how beautiful the water looks in this picture! It makes me want to go on another cruise, just so I can see the "aqua" water that really does exsist. It's so amazing!!

Hannah and one of the many sea shells she found along the beach.

Greg and the kids trying to stay out of the way of the waves. Hannah got caught in a few of them and she had water up to her knees! She was very cold after a few short minutes.

We also spent a day in Knott's Berry Farm which was fun. Hannah could ride all except for 2 of the rides. She's a little dare-devil!!

The whole "Fam."

During this photo, the lady who worked there was rushing us so much that I felt like punching her out!! Another lady who was witnessing the rude behavior of the first, purposely stepped in and offered to take an additional photo of our family all together, which then made the worker even more mad. I thanked the nice lady who then commented on how rude the worker was being so she thought she should teach her a lesson. Let's put it this way, the nice lady took her own sweet time taking our family photo which I was thankful for :)

As you can see, it was a long vacation for us. The "kids" were lucky and got to sleep the whole drive home. That would have been nice :)
