Goodbye 2008…..Hello 2009!
It’s the last day of the year! The day you spend (or at least part of it) thinking about the things that happened during 2008 and setting new goals for2009.
I’ve thought about and made some New Year’s Resolutions, including:
1) Spending more time playing with the kids (whether it’s playing with little people or board [...]
MOVIE REVIEW – "Eagle Eye"
We rented “Eagle Eye” and watched it this weekend. It was INTENSE! It stars Billy Bob Thorton (“Friday Night Lights” and “The Astronaut Farmer”), Shia LaBeouf (“Holes” and “Transformers), and Michelle Monaghan (“Made of Honor).
This is definitely one we’d add to our movie collection! It is PG-13, so not one to watch [...]
The Winner Takes It All
Tonight, George and I played a game of monopoly. The last time we played Monopoly was before Dallen was born and now I remember why. He won by…… A LOT!
We had the “Mamma Mia” soundtrack going while we were playing the game. I enjoyed the music at first…..and then I started to [...]
I Love "Mamma Mia!"
We recently rented “Mamma Mia” on dvd and really enjoyed it! For Christmas, George bought me the cd and the dvd (soon to arrive).
We’ve listened to the cd for the past couple of days and we all love the songs! Who doesn’t love Abba? There are some good ones like “Dancing Queen,” [...]
Merry Christmas 2008
We had a partially white Christmas this year (the closest I’ve ever been to having a white Christmas). There was still snow (or slush) on the ground and some wet snow fell, so I’ll count that!
Every year, we have a tradition of buying a permit from the Department of Forest Services for $10.00 and [...]
Rain Rain Go Away, Snow Please Stay Another Day!
George and I have been married for 9 years now and I’ve never had a White Christmas (in my entire life). For the past 2 weeks, it’s been snowing in Seattle and the kids and I have been indoors due to bad road conditions.

It just started raining today, [...]
My Pizza’s Bigger Than Yours!
Last night, we had some guys from George’s work over for dinner. We had pizza – not just any pizza, but a 28-inch pizza. It was huge!
I had a hard time getting through the doorways in our house – trying to get it to the kitchen!
Here are some pictures just to show how [...]
I Love Deliveries!
Last night at around 9:30 p.m. there was a knock on the door. George and I were ready to go to bed and the kids weren’t even close to falling asleep, even though they were in their beds with the lights off.
We had no idea who’d be knocking this late at night. [...]
Buses Shouldn’t Drive Down Icy Hills
Over the weekend, there was an article in the newspaper with this picture:

Apparently, there were 2 buses full of students who had just completed a job-training program (high school age) and they were on their way home – to various areas in Seattle and headed to both Tacoma and Olympia.
They had several hilly [...]
The Princess of Power is Back
You have to check out hulu.com if you haven’t already. They have tons of free tv shows (and movies) you can watch online, including a lot of old ones. On the homepage, they had an ad for He-Man, so I had to check out She-Ra, Princess of Power, and THEY HAD IT!
Here is [...]
