The Sermon family 2009










thanksgiving in retrospect

I know this is a few holidays past, but here's Thanksgiving 2009!
We had a busy day of party hopping as usuall starting at 10 am; breakfast with my family where i forgot my camera :( which is sad because Hayden had so much fun with cousins, a puppy & of course a trampoline and no pictures to show from it! From there we headed to Brayden's mom's family dinner to eat...

& eat...



& drink...



& be silly...


& eat at least two slices of delicous pumpkin cheesecake!



Ryan & kenna


Annette & Cory  and Brayden's little sisters Morgan & Kayla




Then we headed over to Brayden's Dad's for Pie Pie Pie! Chocolate, double chocolate, babana cream, Pumpkin  and tons of whipped cream on top! Yum!  


Precious moments!
Hayden & Oakley playing with hannah montana and barbie


while me & Lexi watched a barbie dancing princess movie til we finally called it a night.
And that was our Happy Thanksgiving :)

this is for all you twighlight fans
or pretty much anyone who has seen the movie
you must read
its hillarious


MY SCREENPLAY ADAPTATION OF STEPHENIE MEYER'S "TWILIGHT"
By Eric D. Snider


Scene 1

BELLA: I'm sad to leave the hellish, uninhabitable wasteland of Phoenix to live in a rain-soaked town full of rubes. I wish everything about my comfortable and privileged life were completely different!

DAD: Hi, Bella! Welcome to Forks, Washington. I'm glad you've stopped playing mother to your own flighty, irresponsible mom and come here to be my mother instead.

BELLA: It will be my pleasure to cook and clean for you.
DAD: I bought you an old truck from an Indian in a wheelchair!

BELLA: I ... have no response for that.

* * * * *


 
Scene 2
BELLA: It's tough being the new kid in school! Especially when everyone is so friendly and helpful and interested in me. Why can't they just leave me alone so I can sit in the corner and cut myself?

CLASSMATE: You're awesome, Bella!

BELLA: See what I have to put up with? Hey -- who are those hot people over there?

CLASSMATE: Those are the Cullens. They avoid direct sunlight, they don't eat food, they sleep in coffins in a graveyard, and holy water burns them. I think they're Canadians.

BELLA: They sure are spectacularly gorgeous.

CLASSMATE: Yes, they are.

BELLA: I mean seriously, those people are BEAUTIFUL. Especially the one who keeps looking at me. Man alive, that guy is stunning. I mean, wow. He is hot buttered seduction on a stick. I'm not interested in him sexually, of course, because sex is dirty, but wow -- LOOK AT HIM! Yee-ikes! Hubba hubba! If you don't mind, I'd like to spend the next 75 pages talking exclusively about how attractive he is, and then bring it up again every paragraph or so for the remaining 400 pages.

CLASSMATE: Knock yourself out.
* * * * *
Scene 3
EDWARD: Hi, I'm Edward. I'm every girl's fantasy boyfriend: moody, humorless, violent, capable of snapping your spine with my bare hands, liable to do creepy things like watch you while you're sleeping, but also really cute.

BELLA: There is something strange about you.

EDWARD: (recoils at her garlic breath) I don't know what you mean.

BELLA: I just can't put my finger on what it is.

EDWARD: (lifts automobile with one hand) You're imagining things.

BELLA: I feel like you're hiding something from me.

EDWARD: (grabs passing rabbit with lightning speed; drinks rabbit's blood) Don't be silly!

BELLA: It's like you're different somehow.

EDWARD: (turns into bat; flies away)

BELLA: Hmm. I bet he's gay.
* * * * *
Scene 4
JACOB: You should be careful with those Cullens. Many moons ago, our tribe's elders, who were werewolves, made a pact with the Cullens, who were vampires. They're not allowed on our land, not even at our casinos.

BELLA: What, still? Even after all this time has passed?

JACOB: Nope.

BELLA: Since when do white people honor treaties with Indians?

JACOB: I know, right?

BELLA: Let me guess -- you're a character whose only job is to provide exposition, and you won't be useful until the next book.

JACOB: Yes. At the earliest.

* * * * *


Scene 5

BELLA: Thanks for saving me from that mob of guys who attacked me in the street! It's a good thing you obsessively stalk me while simultaneously insisting you want nothing to do with me.

EDWARD: No problem. If anyone's going to tear you limb from limb and gorge themselves on your sweet, delicious, life-giving blood, it's going to be me.

BELLA: Aw, you say the nicest things! I'm pretty sure you're a vampire, that I'm in love with you, and that part of you wants to kill me.

EDWARD: Don't be silly. It's not just part of me.

BELLA: LOL!
* * * * *



Scene 6

EDWARD: You know what vampires love? Baseball!

BELLA: Really?

EDWARD: Sure! Haven't you ever heard of vampire bats?



(Crickets.)



EDWARD: Anyhoo, these are the vampire friends I live with, the Cullens. They've been very eager to eat you.

BELLA: You mean meet me?

EDWARD: Meet you. What did I say?

ALICE: I'm Alice! I can see the future, but only when it's useful to the plot. For example, right now: Look out for those mean vampires barging in from the forest!

MEAN VAMPIRE JAMES: Fe-Fi-Fo-Fum! I smell the blood of a human!

EDWARD: Stay away from her! Bella, you'd better go. I don't want you to have to see me fight this guy for your honor, our muscles straining as we grapple, the air thick with testosterone and the sounds of our throaty snarling.

BELLA: Right! I wouldn't want to see that! Especially not if your shirts got torn off!
* * * * *

Scene 7

MEAN VAMPIRE JAMES: You puny humans are so predictable and weak. Now I've got you alone, free to toy with you and torture you and deliver lengthy explanatory monologues to you! I just hope I don't waste so much time fartin' around that when I finally do decide to kill you it's too late because Edward and the Cullens have arrived to save you!

BELLA: That would certainly be an unusual twist!

MEAN VAMPIRE JAMES: I must say, I can see why Edward likes you. Your smell is overpowering!

BELLA: Oh, you can smell that? Sorry, I thought I could sneak one out....

MEAN VAMPIRE JAMES: Never mind! At last it is time for me to--

EDWARD: Not so fast, Count Jerkula!

MEAN VAMPIRE JAMES: Edward! And the Cullens! Who could have foreseen your perfectly timed arrival?!

ALICE: I could have! Didn't, but could have!

 
(Fighting ensues. MEAN VAMPIRE JAMES is vanquished.)

 
EDWARD: Bella! Are you OK? He bit you! I've got to suck out the vampire poison!

BELLA: Edward, you don't have to make up excuses to put your mouth on me. I mean honestly, who ever heard of "vampire poison"?

EDWARD: I'm serious! It's coursing through your veins as we speak!

BELLA: Uh-huh. Whatever you say, Powder.
* * * * *


Scene 8
BELLA: Why did you bring me to the prom, Edward? You know I can't dance, and that I hate it when people tell me I'm beautiful, which happens all the time.

EDWARD: I don't want your dangerous psychological infatuation with a vampire to interfere with your regular life.

BELLA: But I want to BE a vampire! I want you to do it to me. It will strengthen our love for each other. I want to become one with you. And what better night than prom night?

EDWARD: Wait, what are we talking about?

BELLA: I don't know. All the metaphors have started to run together.

EDWARD: You're sure you want to be a vampire?

BELLA: Yes.

EDWARD: Well, how about if I press my lips against your throat in an ambiguous way, just enough to ensure that readers come back for the sequel?

BELLA: It's a deal.


(Fade to black; roll credits; send in ushers to mop up audience's tears and drool.)



I borrowed this from someone elses blog, but i laughed so hard & i had to share it.

Halloween

Second star to the right
& trick-or-treating til morning...

Yeah right! Between their tights and my tube top we only made our way around a few blocks before we realized that it would be better on our health to stay indoors! It's still a bummer to end a halloween night without a two month's supply of candy to show for it. Aww to be a kid again!



Hayden was so dang cute but i cant find a good picture of him
when he was actually in his whole costume. I will try  to steal one from the grandparents
or maybe i'll have to wrestle him back into his tights & just take a new picture!



Hayden's first halloween...
lame i know!
brayden didn't dress up so he's not pictured.




Hayden's 2nd halloween
he was the cutest puppy ever & he loved
trick or treating!
