Finally a "Hotty".....

I'm a little short on the blog buzz these days and really have so little to share. I will however let you know that Ammon and I were able to swing a date (or a Hotty as we say in our fam) on Saturday (which was the first in a LONG time). It was great! We left the kids with KaSea and made no point to hurry back. We hit a session @ the temple which was great and long overdue, then we pigged out at Famous Dave's, also great (loved the ribs) and long overdue, and then we hit a flick at the $1 theatre. You gotta love the movies for a buck Yeehaw! We saw Iron Man and I'm not gonna lie I was not interested in it at all and didn't think it would be any good especially after finding out it was something to do with a comic bleh, bleeh, blah.
Well, to my surprise it was pretty good if I might say so myself. Not like the best movie ever, but I will say Mr. Robert Downy Jr. was hot, there was a pretty good story, some humor, some serious parts, tiny bit of romance and all in all it was good.

Thanks KaSea for watching the kids. Thanks Ammon for taking me out to have some fun and forget about "life" for a minute.

Hopefully we will have more to report soon. I am starting back to school this week to complete my 4 year degree and to get my teaching certificate. I'm starting to work a few more hours a week and we are really gonna get crazy around here, but hey what would we do if we didn't make ourselves crazy trying to juggle everything that we do to make things work?

Catch ya on the flip side.....

RAD or RANDOM???

So this is meant to be an 80's flashback moment and in order to fully catch the drift you must first scroll down to the Mann Music and select the last song on the list "Send me an Angel".... Go ahead, I'll wait :o)

Okay, now that the tunes have begun and the smile is on your face, you may have noticed that this is like to only song that was played on the movie that I LOVE called Rad! I am wondering if there are any Rad lovers out there who share the same love or if this blog will be voted totally random?

I'm not really sure why this song and movie came to me when I was making some new song selections, but I thought it was worth mentioning. For any and all of you who were wowed over and over again by this wildly entertaining flick, the feeling that takes you back to the boy who was trying so hard to be able to make the race on his stylin' BMX bike and in his quest feel in love with the only girl racer. Note: I'm not going to pretend I remember all the details of this movie. You see, I can hardly think of anything in it other than the bike, the song, the jumps, and the song, oh yeah and the bike. Until I was Sharply reminded of the correct name, I called this all-time fav BMX everytime I talked about it. However, there is something about these flicks that helped raise you when you had no other source of sanity or entertainment in a small town. Another one of those favs for me and my fam is "the Manaquin"and "Young Guns". Between these movies and of course some other 80's favorites, we were properly reared. :o)

Seriously this blog has no great point other than to take you back for a minute and remember this great movie and to see if it takes the whole 6 minutes (the length of the song) to read it. For those of you who were not lucky enough to have seen it, I suggest you get on the stick and watch it! If for no other reason than for a good laugh, look it up next time you're at the video store.

For any of you who would like to share any other favorite movie memories please do. I would love to know who and what everyone watched back in the good 'ole days....

Family pics

I can truly say I'm not sure if they get much cuter that these precious children of mine. I finally got all of us in a somewhat planned picture and the kids were even cooperative (imagine that). I can't wait to get some of them printed and in frames in my house. Rylan and McKinley are just
ADORABLE!!




We had a lot of fun getting these done. Thanks to Uncle Johnnie Pants, he did a pretty awesome job and it goes without saying that his yard made the perfect backdrop for all of the shots we took. Thanks Hunts!
