Hump Day!

My in-laws are serving in the Greece Athens Mission. Last week marked their half-way mark! Yippee! Only nine more months to go! We miss them terribly, but are thankful for their great example to serve - especially to the Grandkids. We love you!

Starting her early...

If you know how much Jesse LOVES to ski, this may not come as a surprise...

What did you think?

Jesse and I rarely see a movie, but we ventured out with friends Ty and Sarah last night to see National Treasure. I liked it...Jesse thought it was okay. I would like to see the first one again, as they are pretty similar. I would give this one 3 1/2 stars. How about you? What did you think?

The next movie on our list is one Gabriel is waiting for. The Spiderwick Chronicles. He is obsessed! February 15 - we'll be there! There are 5 small books in the series and quick reads if anyone wants to read them before the movie comes out. I actually quite enjoyed them myself!

What are you?

So Abbey and Allison took this test and I just couldn't resist...

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Yellow

You're yellow, the color of joy and energy — two things you definitely bring to everyone around you. It's hard for anyone to be sad or lonely in your presence; your sunny disposition and cheery outlook just won't allow it. The warmth of your personality shines through in the kindness you show friends and family (and strangers, too). Always ready with a lighthearted joke or heartfelt compliment, you know how to make people feel good about themselves, so they can't get enough of you. Yellow is a warm and inviting color for a warm and inviting person — you!

Take this test >

Andie and Emma

Emma and her best buddy, Andie, have a love/hate relationship.

They have been hanging out since they were about 3 months old, so seem to feel like they can act like sisters when they are together. I would know how this feels/looks like since I have 4 sisters of my own and no brothers. They scream the other one's name when they catch a glimpse of each other, they hug and kiss upon first seeing one another like they have been away for years when in reality it has only been hours, then they proceed to fight over the silliest toys - and Andie's dad, hit (um, that would be just Emma), cry, and try to lead the other one astray (um, that would be Andie).
But, they really are so cute together. I hope we stay friends with their parents so the girls can be friends...just kidding Ty and Sarah!
These hot sunglasses were the last item they fought over. Who wouldn't fight over those babies?

Happy New Year!!

Welcome 2008! We had a wonderful evening in the company of great friends. We did play 25 Words or Less in which the boys cheated and won. And we filled out the New Years Resolution cards...some were serious and some were silly making it a night full of laughs! Just as predicted, Jesse was asleep before midnight...
And the kids were in the basement playing...not destroying anything, but building a rocket!


Me and Jesse...

Rich and Liz...
Happy New Year!!
