ONE CUP AT A TIME!

ALEX’S LEMONADE STAND FOUNDATION
TO VISIT SACRAMENTO, CA

In an effort to join the battle against childhood cancer, Thetwilightbus.com, Barnes and Noble Book Store and UA Arden Fair Theater Sacramento, will host an Alex’s Lemonade Stand on Saturday, October 17, 2009 from 12-4 PM at 1721 Arden Way Sacramento, CA. We will be out Promoting Summit Entertainment's New Moon, Sequel to Twilight. TheTwilightBus.com is finding a way to give back. The twilight bus started as a small project of a Mom of 10 kids, many with special needs. Knowing the struggles of being a parent of a child who battles a life threatening condition, bus Owner Danielle Silva and her kids wanted to find a way to help other parents in similar situations. What better way to help another parent then to help find a cure for the disease. Many Business in the community helped to give the retired old school bus a new look and a new lease on life. So now we want to give back too. Let's help give kids fighting cancer their New lease on life.

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott (1996-2004). At the age of 4, Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of volunteers across the country carrying on her legacy of hope. To date, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, a registered 501(c)3 charity, has raised more than $25 million towards fulfilling Alex’s dream of finding a cure, funding over 100 research projects nationally.
T-shirt sales will profit ALSF.

WHAT: TheTwilightBus’s Lemonade Bus Stand

WHEN: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2009
12 – 4PM

WHERE: 1721 Arden Way
SACRAMENTO, CA

Keeping things running... Clarification and Shirts

2009-09-20T09:12:00.000-07:00

Ok I really enjoy taking the bus places so everyone can see it and I think you will agree that (especially if you have seen us) the bus is a sight to be seen. I feel the need to tell you, to an extent, the going ons of a few things.

First and for most, all money up to this point that has been spent on the bus has been from my own pocket. All $6900 (approx) has come from our family. This does not include the gas I use in the bus.

I am trying to get to a few of the twilight conventions so more people can see the bus and enjoy all the things in and on it also. But that too comes out of pocket.

We are not rich, actually far from it and the time has come that if I want to continue to take the bus places for others, I need to figure out how to fund said events.

Someone has felt the need to constantly negativly post about my selling t-shirts (hense Comment moderation now being turned on).

I have gotten these shirts to help cover some of the costs of maintaing the bus. For example Engine work (it is a 1989 school bus after all) and new window when someone shot it out a few weeks ago etc.

No I did not buy these shirts @$20 to sell for $20 that would make absolutely no business sense.

Correct?

So yes I am selling the shirts I bought in a VERY large quantity for more than I paid for them but still less than retail and even less than many people are selling them on ebay.

Seems good to me as many people cannot even find these shirts anymore and I was able to take out a loan to be able to get them and help others get great shirts while I maintain the bus.

Win win in my book.

If you do not agree then that is fine and this "someone" can go buy their shirts elsewhere.

NOTE to Anonymous: at least have the cahones to list yourself a name since your IP address and info is already recorded each time you post. Have a great day Anon and find a hobby you must have such a boring life to do nothing but sit on my site and bash me. :)

For those that wanna help and get a great shirt in return I will list some new shirts. Hope you all like them.

Ladies Cullen Crest/Family - $20

Man's Gold Twilight Edward - $20Ladies Bella Edward Poster - $20Blue Twilight logo Says "the forbidden fruit is aften the sweetest" on the back - $20
Ladies/Juniors Embrace Henley - $20.00

Help fight cancer and see 100 Monkeys!

NEARLY finished bus...

2009-08-03T21:50:00.001-07:00

I totally forgot to post pics of the NEARLY finished bus. Some things need to be redone but in the meantime...

A little laugh and FANS!!

2009-08-03T21:43:00.000-07:00

OK I had to Tweet (we are on twitter) about the fact that we were laughing and contemplating taking pictures of the people literally hanging out their car windows on the freeway trying to take pictures of the bus!!

We went to Arden Fair Mall today and ran into fans of our own! More and more often we come out of a store to find people surrounding the bus and we are constantly having people snapping pictures. Well I decided we are going to take pics of some of the bus fans and post them here and perhaps have a section inside the bus to put fan photos. So here is our first official fan photo.

These fans are from Oregon..

OMC! (Oh My Carlisle!)

2009-07-31T18:11:00.000-07:00

That was what I said when I opened the white cardboard envelope That arrived in our mail box today and revealed this:

Thank you Peter we cannot wait for the bus to comeback today so we can hang it up! Thank you!

Well after many problems... Here is a sneak peak at the bus so far.. It should be completed by Friday and our story should be in the paper tomorrow!!

New Moon Sneak Peak from Comic Con 2009

2009-07-24T00:25:00.000-07:00

OMG CARLISLE!!!

2009-07-23T10:17:00.000-07:00

OMG I have the Peter Facinelli app on my iphone and today while in chat he came on!

I took a shot and asked him for an autographed picture of him as Carlisle for the bus.

HE SAID YES!!!!!!!

He took our address and now we are watching the mail for a photo made out to the Silva Bus!!

I am super excited can't you tell?!

Peter is awesome. He is super nice and he actually talked to me!

I almost died!

For those that don't know I would choose Carlisle over Edward anyday! I know I like the older men! Haha wow I guess Carlisle is REALLY older!

The bus was supposed to be done by today but now it should be done by tomorrow.

It is a frustrating process.

Ok well I am lurking on my app and need to get back to all my fellow appinellis!

Love ya appinellis!

Why A Twilight Bus??

2009-07-18T19:33:00.000-07:00

OK so more people are asking why we would make a Twilight bus so I thought I would answer here.
First off we have 10 kids, a few who are special needs and medically fragile. We came across a small school bus for sale and it fit us all and the medical equipment and our strollers in it so we bought it.
I know it is embarrassing to be seen driving around in a "short bus" at least for my older kids so we thought of a way to make it less of an embarrassment and more fun to be seen in.
Me and most of my kids are HUGE Twilight fans so we decided to make it into a fan based sort of Mobile museum. The bus is our main mode of transportation so it is driven EVERYWHERE! We painted it black , With the help of a Local body Shop (Larrie Cain's Collision Center) and we got a sign guy (ICR signs) to make all the vinyl for it. We paid for materials and the companies donated their time.
Inside we are collecting Twilight memorabilia of all kinds to put on display. The only music that plays is the Twilight soundtrack of which we know all the words (even my 17 month old knows how to "sing" along).
We are teaming with Twifans.com to get some more things for inside the bus. So far we have 3 posters, a photo and a copy of the Twilight script (complete with facsimile signatures from Ebay!)

We have been stopped by people all over wanting to take a picture and it is not even done yet! This Tuesday the bus goes in to get it vinyl on it. We will be featured in the local newspaper on Thursday. We are so excited!

I am trying and hoping to maybe contact some of the actors from the movies to get some special things for the inside.
We do not charge anyone for anything, everyone who wants to can come see it take pictures ect. We are just trying to make a positive out of a negative and to bring positive attention to our family in a fun way.

So join us. If you have something you would like to donate email me thetwilightbus@yahoo.com and I will give you contact info and any donations of Items will have the donor's name on it on display inside (unless the donor does not want it on).

Hope this answers your questions but feel free to contact me if you have more!

Mock ups...

2009-07-15T18:18:00.001-07:00

So what do you think. Remember these are previews...

Frustrations and IN The News??

2009-07-13T22:25:00.000-07:00

First about my frustrations. The guy who is supposed to be doing the stickers for the bus was supposed to send me the proofs so I can finish the bus last week. I STILL have not gotten the proof email. I am getting so frustrated because I really want the bus to get done! I will visit him one more time tomorrow to pick up my books and I am going to go to Galt sign and ask them if they want to take over. If not I guess I will be on the search for a new sign shop.

On the home front, I received an email from the local paper who would like to meet with us and do a story. I was shocked! I am also kinda excited. I will contact her tomorrow after I deal with the sticker guy.

I have had a migraine for the past 2 days and I really hope it is gone by tomorrow So I can get more done with the bus and the house..

Hey anyone know how to get a signed copy of the book for the bus? Or a signed anything? That would be awesome. Wow even more awesome would be if I could get Stephenie and maybe some others to sign it. How awesome would that be?!

A bit of a Chuckle...

2009-07-07T23:28:00.000-07:00

OK I usually do not write about personal stories on this blog but since it had to do with the bus I figured Why not..

We were out and about in the bus today. I went to Toys R Us to exchange something. Well some of the kids did not want to go in (as I was only running in to the counter and back) and having 2 teenagers in the bus, I decided to let them stay in the bus and read their books and listen to the music.

After about 4/5 minutes I came back out (now remember I am in the spot closest to the entrance literally 20 feet away) and I come out and am immediately attacked by some guy ranting and raving at me. He literally jumped on me as he asked why I would leave the kids in the bus. I informed him that I had 2 teens in the bus and it was perfectly legal and safe to allow them to watch the few little ones for 5 minutes.

His minion (wife or girlfriend I think) starts ranting about how she gives to the "foundation/organization" and comes out of the store to see kids in the bus and how appalled she is. I informed her that I was not an "organization" and I had no clue what she was talking about and she starts yelling at me telling me not to lie to her about being in the "organization". I politely say again that I have no clue what she is talking about, I have gotten no money from anyone. The man says that yes I am an "organization" and she gives money to them. Once again I told him I did not know what he was talking about that the bus was a privately owned vehicle. He asked me what the web address is and I told him a link to our blog. He says "Oh and what will I find on this site?" I proudly told him lots of pictures of an old school bus!

I climbed into the bus as the raving guy says the police are on their way. I told him "well my kids are hungry and I am going to go feed them lunch feel free to send the police over to Burger King if you want." I close my door make sure kids are belted in and back out of my spot with the man yelling at the lady to "follow her!"

Needless to say half way to BK the police pull the bus over and 2 officers (from different cars) come to the bus door. I opened the door and welcomed the officers aboard the bus. They came in and asked me if there was a problem and I let them know what went on. They of course ran my licence to make sure I was not some Kidnapping psycho or something , Nope clean as a whistle not so much as a traffic ticket. They came back and I spent the next 5-10 minutes telling them the story of the bus. After nearly picking them up off the ground as they asked if all the kids were mine and informing them that yes they were, they checked out the bus and said it was awesome and for us to have a good day. I closed the bus doors and continued to BK to feed the now starving children.

I do however wish I had waited in the parking lot for the police so they lady and guy could see that I did nothing wrong and they had their panties in a bunch for nothing. Oh well.

Like I said before, Life is never dull around here, especially when you drive a renovated school bus full of kids!

AFTER SOME RESEARCH I DID FIND THIS;

Maybe this is what she thought I was.....

The Twilight Benefit Foundation is a "501(c)3" charitable organization, existing to support and further social, philanthropic and humanitarian efforts to give something back... to the community and to our fellow man.Our focus is on social needs and concerns, the preservation of our environment, and the continuing research for the elimination of catastrophic disease. We strive with uncompromising passion to leave this world better than we found it.

I guess leaving the kids in the bus (thus avoiding several temper tantrums and many Mommy buy me this), did not fit into their idea of striving to leave the world better than they found it, though I can guarantee that Toys R us is better for it!

A Long awaited update..Bits and Pieces...

2009-07-03T10:47:00.000-07:00

It is about time for an update. The bus is painted and some of the stickers are on it. They are being done in Bits and pieces since we use the bus as our main mode of transportation..

The main sides of the bus should be done in the next few weeks. It is a long process but so far everyone loves it.

I forgot to take pics of the inside so far but it has several Posters and also the scripts for Twilight and New Moon on display. I think the kids love it too. My friend and I took our kids (16 total) out to where I bought the bus.

and look what she bought...

Even after a LONG HOT day in the bus, the kids are still in love with the bus!

PAINT...CHECK!

2009-06-24T18:19:00.000-07:00

As Promised...

2009-06-15T17:59:00.000-07:00

Notice the TOP of the Bus??? The Guys were taping the rest of the windows when I took these this morning!

Next stop... Paint

2009-06-10T13:03:00.001-07:00

It is all sanded and FINALLY ready for paint! After over 3 weeks of removing lights, mirrors, ect (and there was A LOT of ect to take off, I mean do you ever really notice the amount of lights on a bus?!) the bus is ready for paint. ((insert happy dance here)) Tomorrow should be it's big day where it no longer is defined by it's Yellow schoolness.

I would tell you to hold your breath but there might be a few days before I post again BUT, I can tell you the next time I post pictures some if not all of the bus will be black!

To past the time....

2009-05-31T21:27:00.000-07:00

LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN!

Prayer moves Mountians... (post from our family blog)

2009-05-29T14:28:00.000-07:00

You can click on her button to take you to our family site..
As you might have noticed I added a "Praying for Soli" button to the right side of my blog.
I hope you will take it and use it because as the title says Prayer Moves Mountians.
Before she was born I asked for prayers for her to stay inside till she reached viability.
She stayed in 2 more weeks.
When Soli was born at 25 weeks weighing only 25 ozs, I asked for prayers for her to survive.
She is nearing 6 months old.
At 17 days old I asked for prayers that she make it through heart surgery.
She flew thru with flying colors.
I have asked several times for prayer for our beautiful Angel and now here I am asking once again.Wednesday June 3 at 7:30 am Soli will be undergoing yet another surgery. She will be getting a G-tube placed. I am asking for prayers again for God to guide the surgeons and once again shine his mercy and grace on our Angel.
I will update on Wed via twitter so you can follow me on there (Link on the right----->)
She will be in the hospital for a few days.
Also please pray that I can handle all these new things that come with having a Micro preemie. We have dealt with feeding issues before but Soli is a whole new game. It is upsetting to me that I cannot fix everything. As her mom I want to make it all better and I can't and that is something I am finding extremely hard to deal with. Please pray I can find the strength and trust in God to help me accept all that has happened, is happening and what is to come. I do not know what great things God has planned for our little Angel but I do know they are great!If you are a loyal Follower THANK YOU. Without you I would feel so alone.
If you are new to our blog, Please click "follow" in the right side bar so that I may know you and visit your blogs and pray for your families also. Thank you all for taking time from your days, from your schedule, from your families to read about ours.

Not Me Monday.. Bus Edition

2009-05-18T07:31:00.001-07:00

Time for Not me Monday and I had one for the bus so here goes...

I most certainly did not make my 20 year old daughter and her boyfriend ride on the little yellow short bus to go to lunch on Saturday. And I did not park in the spot right next to the outdoor seating of said PACKED restraunt. NOT ME!

I also when B got off the bus, did not laugh upon hearing said 20 year oldsay outloud "this folks is why we drive a short bus!" NOT ME!

The Bus In all it's...Glory?

2009-05-14T10:47:00.000-07:00

So I figure the best way to start this journey is to show you the bus in all it's glory. These are before pictures so everyone can see what we started off with. Enjoy the look at our short bus..

Welcome

2009-05-13T09:40:00.000-07:00

Welcome readers. We hope you climb aboard and fasten your seat belts and join us on the ride to transform our Bus into the Ultimate twilight vehicle. We will document each step on this journey from run down retired school bus to Ultimate Twilight Bus.

A little background: We are an Army family with 10 kids. We needed something bigger to haul all the kids around in. As a few of our kids have various medical equipment that goes with them everywhere we needed something bigger than the average van. Searching craigslist we found this retired old 1989 Chevy School bus. With seating for 16 plus the driver it was perfect. Thus begins the journey.

We have a very specific design in mind and it is already in the works but we will also be allowing you, our riders, to submit Stickers and signs and fan art to be displayed in/on the Twilight Bus. We do ask that any stickers to be applied to the outside of the bus be vinyl or printed vinyl as they need to withstand the weather. Signs we are looking for include the following:
Bus Rules
Welcome Sign
Name signs for the kids for above their seats

We will also accept suggestions for signs, art etc.

We will be using this blog to record the journey with pictures and work during the transformation as well as posts about our journey into the public with this Amazing Bus, So climb aboard for a fun ride!
