Confession & Update

SOO... confession first... I was NEVER going to be a TWILIGHT freak, i was never planning reading the books like everyone else I know. and i mean just about everyone. Over thanksgiving break the girls in my family were planning on going to see Twilight and of course i agreed to go (no other options the boys were hunting) so My mom, sister, grandma, sister-in-law, aunt, and cousin (all of which read the book) went. My sister had already seen it and without being able to hide it expressed freely how much she loved it. and told me she would not go with me unless i read the book, which was like 2 days before we planned on going... ya right have you see the size of those books? not going to happen... i am NOT a book person. soooo... we went and i absolutely LOVED it. So naturally i had to read the book right? the books are always better so i decided to read it, and it took me like 3 days, not bad. LOVED IT!!! so book 2 took me about 10 hours and book 3 about 12 hours. which for those of you who don't know they get about 100 pages longer each time. i couldn't put them down and book 4 is close to 800 pages so i am almost done with it. I know what your thinking and i did not neglect either of my children, come on I am a GREAT mom!!! well yes with all the said i have been completely consumed in the Vampire world! I am actually going to the movie again for the 3rd time tonight and i am even more excited because it will be my first time seeing it after i have read the books. i know i am such a LOOSER i know what you are all thinking and its ok i was there once too!! No hard feelings..


NOW TO THE SMALL UPDATE....
We are all ready for Christmas here at the Mechlings. We have our house decked out inside and out. Our Christmas tree is wonderful and real of course (i don't cheat with Christmas) the smell is amazing! I have not wrapped all of the presents yet and i do have a few more to shop for but other than that i am pretty much ready. Oh ya and trying what to decide what to do for Dan big 3-0 on Christmas eve (sucks i know). It awful to have to shop for guys for Christmas but i have to do birthday and Christmas at the same time and i hate it. He is sooooo hard to shop for. Jett is getting so big and so smart. He repeats everything that comes out of any ones mouth so we really have to watch that. He is full of soo much energy. He LOVES Santa and everything else that comes with Christmas. His Uncle Braxton thought it would be fun to teach him something....Braxton is 16 for those of you who dont know. anyway...he asks Jett "what do you say to girls"? and Jett now says "Hey Baby" i have to admit it is one of the cutest things! London had her 4 month Check up and is doing soooo fabulous. She is in the 95 percentile in her length and in the 90 percentile with her weight. She was 27 in and over 15 pounds. She is absolutely so much fun. I love her so much. She has so much personality and is such a happy baby.
well i know i am not that great with this whole blogging thing but i am really going to try to become better i promise. I hope everyone is enjoying this time of year as much as we are! We wish EVERYONE happy holidays! WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!
