Okay so this is the picture you get! I was planning on putting our Turkey Day pictures in but here is the funny story. Andy was up on the roof putting up the Christmas lights and of course I was taking pictures and as I was doing it I was saying to myself "I really should not put the camera there not a good idea" well I did not listen to myself and put the camera on the back of my car. Well guess what I forgot to get! Yup you guessed it. I remembered when Andy & Mikayla were 1/2 way to Boise to the Stampede game. So needless to say I am without my Turkey Day pictures but on the bright side AWESOME Twilight picture right????? I did have a fantastic holiday. We had a quiet dinner and decorated our tree. Mikayla got a call from her friend & they went to see Twilight! On Saturday, Donna & I were up and at Fred Meyers at 5:00 a.m. Got some good deals we went to a few other places and then back home by 10:30! After tooling around the house patiently waiting for 2:00 to come & I was out the door to meet my good friend Mandy to see Twilight! :) hahahha her 1st time seeing it! My 3rd. Boy, it gets better each time I see it. So quiet evening at home cause I was out by 8:00! Then Saturday, Mikayla & I had hair appointments in Meridian at 11:00 so we decided to meet up w/ our Friends Carole & Marissa yup you guessed it to see Twilight! Boy it is funny I caught stuff I missed the first 3x I saw it!!!! So it was a fantastic Twilight Turkey Day Weekend! Even tho I lost my camera I get to go see Twilight on Thursday again with Mandy! YEA see I am looking on the bright side! hahahhahaha I hope everyone had a fantastic day! We are off to the rat race of the Holiday seasons. I love this time of year. I am sitting in my living room yelling at Razah to stay out of the Christmas Village & enjoying the pretty lights. Hey I would send ya pictures but hahahhaha my camera is somewhere between Nampa & Boise probably on the freeway!

What a week we have had! Miranda got to go on a class trip to the ballet so she was all dressed up. Razah was being crazy and of course the BIG TWILIGHT premiere. Ryan, Tyler & Mikayla were patiently waiting. We got there an hour before & were lucky enough to be first in line & boy o boy it filled up FAST! I highly recommend going. It is a fantastic movie & they did a great great job following the book! We all really enjoyed it & on the way out we noticed that 1/2 the cheerleading squad was there in the same theater! Insane. It is sold out all weekend. I will be going at least 2 more times. I missed some parts... too many nice looking vampires it was hard to see what was going on in the movie! :) But I shall pay my dues to help pay for the next movie New Moon by purchasing at least 8 more movie tickets! Miranda wants to see it again & of course the girls do & Andy is feeling left out so I told him not to worry I will go again! tee-hee
Again, if you haven't seen the movie I recommend it. Really really good!!!!!!!!


HAPPY TWILIGHT DAY!!!!

For those of you who have been living under a rock for the past 3+ months it is finally out in theaters!!!!! I know some lucky people who have already seen it & all I would get out of them was OMG!!!! So, that made me even more excited. I have 8 hours 40 minutes until I get my opinion on the movie! I hope everyone has a Happy Twilight day & GO SEE THE MOVIE that is if you can get tickets! :)

Miranda had a fun day today. Troop 31 went to make decorations for the festival of trees. She was so excited. She got to make 2 of them. We are gonna try & make them for our tree. They turned out so nice. I can't wait to see them all on the tree. There were about 50 girls there. Not all were her troop but they all were making different ornaments. Such a neat idea. She has fit in so well with her new Brownie troop. She is the youngest on but all the girls have welcomed her in with open arms. Best of all they meet at her school. So every Thursday she walks down to the cafeteria after school & I pick her up. How awesome is that? I love after school activities. I guess there is a big camp out in the Spring that I might let her go to. I think Mikayla was 7 or 8 when she went to Oregon for a week so I think I can let her go! UGH maybe not! I will see. She is growing up too fast. Both my babies are getting older. So, I guess all I can do is sit back & enjoy the ride. I am so truly blessed with my girls.

Here is Miranda at gymnastics tonight. Boy does she love it. I did not have time to change between work, picking up Miranda from school to Lone Star to see Mikayla cheer to Miranda's gymnastics so I got to watch tonight instead of working out & bonus had my camera! :) She does so well. They are fantastic with both girls. And since it is at the Rec Center I get in a good work out each time. (with the exception of tonight). So after a long & busy day of working & running I thought I would update the blog so my mother would not get mad at me! :)
So I am getting in trouble by my mom! For not updating my blog since Halloween! We Armbruster's have been very busy this past 2 weeks. Between Cheerleading, Brownies, Gymnastic, Parent-teacher conf. it has been crazy. Andy left for Texas so I also have to be the cook in the family. And everyone knows how much I lOVE to cook! NOT!!!!
Here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks. Mikayla infront of her locker; Mikayla & Ryan cheering, Miranda stylin and the girls on the trampoline. I had Andy take a ton of pictures to get the Christmas cards ordered. He did fantastic! :) Looks like the girls had a blast. I was at work so I did not get to enjoy the beautiful afternoon. It is said that we might get snow in the next week so winter is offically here. Have a great week & I apologize for not keeping this up to date I will do better.
