Thanks Everybody!

Everybody thanks for the opinions! I loved to hear what each of you told me to do! As for me I decided at the last minute to cancel the appointment for a few reasons. 1. the bruise is bigger and more yellow today! B. the kids school pictures price was raised like $6.00 a piece so to spend more money on a picture with a bruise made me cringe. and finally I lost my voice yesterday and I don't feel like going out to talk to anyone today! So those are my reasons I have a few pictures of Emie with the bruise so I will do what Megan said and go ahead and scrap those and make a later appointment when hopefully (knock on wood, Kandice) she doesn't have a facial impairment! Thanks again to you all who cared to leave me feedback!

Opinions Wanted!!

I need help I need to know what a good mom would do...





Emie got hurt on Friday morning and it left a pretty good bruise on her face


notice the picture below!





Anyway I had previously made an appointment for her to get her picture taken this Wednesday you know the yearly pictures that the kids get at school...I thought I would set a time up for the same day for Emie so that I didn't have to get her all cute on a different day that I got the others looking cute! So what do I do? Do I go ahead and get the pictures taken with this bruise or do I call and cancel because it will probably be the one we put on the wall for a year? Anyway any help would be appreciated!

Before I Forget!

Last week Eli and Parker advanced belt color in their karate classes. Parker was finally good enough in class that his teacher let him test to pass to the next level.

Eli has been doing a good job too! He went to his advancement test on Friday and passed to the black and white belt!

Both boys are doing great! On Thursday I told Eli that if he watched the student in front of him instead of staring at the mirror or celing he would learn twice as fast! Parker is trying his hardest to win the games that his teachers play with the class! I am proud that both boys enjoy this opportunity to learn new things. I hope that we can afford to keep up with it though man Karate is expensive! Anyway here are some pictures of the boys getting their new belts and doing some testing!

Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid.

Last Night a great man died! Paul Newman passed away last night due to complications of cancer! He was a happy man who loved life and what he did for a living. We will miss you!

Movie Review!

So I think everyone out there knows that I like to watch movies. I like to buy them and I like to watch them over and over again! Well about a year ago I discovered the Red Box! I am sure most of you know about this...where you can go and rent a movie for just $1.00 a night + tax (of course). Anyway I have decided that since I watch movies and I may or may not enjoy them that I would tell everyone what I think of them so maybe that would help them make a decision when they are at the nearest wal-mart getting ready to rent a movie from the Red Box.



Today I really wanted to rent the movie "Waitress" . With Keri Russell.



I have seen it at the red box for several months and I have always passed it over, well today I decided I wanted to rent it and watch it! I wasn't sure at first because if you all know me I have buyers remorse after everything I buy, even a movie rental at $1.08. Anyway...I really liked this movie it is definatally a "Chick Flick" the husbands won't want to spend there time watching it...there are no car chases or guns or explosions. Just this story about a woman who gets pregnant by her abusive husband and ... I won't tell to much! Anyway everything works out for her, is that saying to much?!? One thing that I was pleasently surprised about is the preformance by Andy Griffith. He has never been a favorite of mine (I don't know why) anyway... in this movie I actually liked him. So if your husbands are out of town or working the night shift or maybe a little girly go and rent this movie and enjoy yourselves. I hope you like it and don't blame me if you don't maybe you don't like the kind of movies I do. But hopefully you will!

So for the record I give it... *** stars.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Yesterday was my 3...nstd birthday! I had a great birthday, Justin took the day off so he could pamper me. He made me breakfast, and dinner. Both of which he made sure I wanted! Then the rest of the day he drove me all over the valley getting some awesome deals on birthday treats! We first went to Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and got a free dozen original doughnuts and then we headed out to Sam's Club. We didn't get anything there but walked around until it was time for us to take Parker to school. After Sam's club we went to lunch at subway where we both ate for $6.00+some change, not to bad but then we went to Cold Stone Creamery where I got a "love it" size of ice cream for free and Justin got his for $3.00+ some change. We also went to our new neighborhood Fresh and Easy market where we spent $10.00 and got a free canvas bag. the deals there are good like the banana's were only .18 cents each, and the avocados were 4 for $1.99. Not to bad I think I will go back! Then it was time to pick up the kids from school then we headed out to the Santan Village mall. That wasn't as bad as it sounds when I say we took our kids. They were all very good and had fun too. They played on the little play area and had fun posing for pictures. Pictures which I can't remember how to e-mail to myself so I can post them. I might try again in a few minutes. After being at the play area for a while some other people came over and Emie became upset that other people were touching the toys... we decided it was time to go! We headed over to the apple store where I got to pick out my present.


Justin decided to get me an Apple iPod Touch!








He liked it because it does a lot of what the iPhone does but the phone part. We also decided we wanted to order it online because then Justin could get an engraving on it and online they have the brand new model of it! So we came home and found this on our front window,

that was a fun thing to find I don't even know who did it but I enjoyed it! Justin made dinner and I opened presents and cards and had a great night when the 3 older kids were in bed by 8 and Emie was in bed by 9! It was a nice quite evening and I had a great day!

Stuck Again!

I can't believe it Emie got stuck in a chair again! She is so independent that she does things all the time all by herself! Today she was climbing up on the table to eat the applesauce that Parker left behind and on the way up this happened.

Now it doesn't look to bad at first but I couldn't free her. I tried to pull up, I tried to straighten and pull up, I tried to bend and pull up, but nothing happened. So like any other blogger I stopped to take a few pictures! I also took a video this time a little longer and it shows the relese to her arm but you know how long it takes for blogger to upload videos so I will probably not post the video!

I couldn't believe that she got stuck again. This time it wasn't as bad just because I was able to get her out without having to cut the chair up but it did take a few minutes! I guess she will be the one that I will defiantly be keeping my eye on!
