Wall E



Chris and I went and saw Pixar's new movie, Wall E. It was so good!! It's amazing that you can enjoy a movie with hardly any dialogue, but this movie makes it work. Wall E and all of the robots on this film just steal your heart! If you can't tell, we loved it! It would be so much fun to see it again!

To Grandpa Vic...


"O, who will walk a mile with me along life's merry way?
A comarade blithe and full of glee, who dares to laugh out loud and free, and let his frolic fancy play, like happy child, through the flowers gay, that fill the field and fringe the way, where he walks a mile with me.
And who will walk a mile with me along life's weary way? A friend whose heart has eyes to see the stars shine out o'er the darkening lea, and the quiet rest at the end o' the day, a friend who knows, and dares to say, the brave, sweet words that cheer the way, when he walks a mile with me.
With such a comrade, such a friend, I fain would walk till journey's end, through summer sunshine, winter rain, and then?-Farewell, we shall meet again..."
-James Whitcomb Riley

Get Smart


Last night, Chris, my dad, and I went to see Get Smart. It was hilarious and we loved it! I'd highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys comedy, action, and Steve Carell (the other actors were awesome too, but Steve really carried the show).

Bathroom Remodel


Chris and I decided that we wanted to redecorate our bathroom. It was originally a white room with stencled ivy along the top portion and a strange greenish blue color at the bottom. There was a huge wall mirror on one wall a really bad looking light fixture ubove it, and everything was made out of really fake looking wood. Well, our recent trip to Moab inspired us to change the bathroom to orange. We had thought about it for a while, but on a trip to Home Depot (to pick up a father's day gift), we decided to do the bathroom now, and we bought the paint. Well, then Chris got really excited and began taking everything down in the bathroom, taping it up, and buying new items to stick in it. He took down the light fixture and put a huge hole in the wall so that the new light would fit. Once that was fixed and dried, we were able to start painting. We painted most of it on Monday night and finished painting Tuesday afternoon when Chris got home from work. When we got home from family pictures that same evening, Chris started putting the light in and almost anything he could fit on the walls. Yesterday, he put up the new mirror and the new medicine cabnet that we got and we were able to move everything else back in. I think that it looks amazing! I love it! Today we got to use it for the first time in about a week! I am so excited!! Being spontanious and making changes can be quite fun and look amazing in the end!

2. They sure know how to relax...
3.They are amazing world travelers...

4. They make sure that everything is safe before letting others attempt...

5. Overall, they are simply amazing!

Book club

I was wondering if anyone would be interested on doing a book club on my blog. My idea was once a month we could read a book (we could take a poll as to which book to read) and than comment on it on the blog. Please let me know if you're interested!
