Two Recommendations


So I saw the movie Evan Almighty, and was a little weary at first because the first installment Bruce Almighty was a little sac religious, but this one was not what I expected. I didnt find it sac religious at all and in fact found it to be a pretty enlightening movie as to what it must have really been like for Noah. For me I always read the scriptures and think, why doesnt everyone listen, of course its gonna flood, because I know what came next, but this movie made me think of how people must of viewed him, what his wife must have gone through, and his kids, and really opened my eyes. I thought they did a really good job of making a modern day Noah story. It wasnt that funny, but I really liked it, so if you are so inclined, I think you should check it out with that in mind. It wasnt the best movie, but for that reason alone I think its worth a shot.
Also Oprah featured a book called "deliciously deceptive" or Deceptively delicious, I cant remember which one, but it was all about how you can cook with veggie purees and hide them in everyday foods like mac and cheese, chicken fingers and even cakes and cookies. I thought it looked really interesting and as soon as I buy it I want to give it a shot. So thought Id pass those two little things on...hope you enjoy!

How old is he? 29 (Getting too close to 30 if you ask me. Yikes.)
Who eats more? It depends on the food and the time of day. I eat more more consistently but when hes in the mood for something look out!
Who said I love you first? He did, I was waiting for that because I did everything else first, I had to make him work for something.

Who is taller? He is of course, but thats not saying much.
Who sings better? Me of course, Im thinking of going pro. JK We both readily admit we are collectively the worst singers. You should hear FHE. Its bad!
Who is smarter? Josh by far!!! I used to think I was but he got a degree in engineering, hes really smart!!

Whose temper is worse? It's a toss up.
Who does the laundry? Whoever is looking for brownie points.
Who does the dishes? When we were dating he told me he would always do the dishes, why else do you think I married him? But since hes so busy nowadays, I do them more.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Were always changing, but for now its him.
Who pays the bills? I do
Who mows the lawn? Usually, but I did once recently, with a broken lawnmower no less.
Who cooks dinner? Do hot pockets count? Depends on the dinner, but usually him. He gets great practice at the station.

Who drives when you are together? Always Josh even on long trips, I wrangle the kids.
Who is more stubborn? We both are stubborn on certain topics, mines the kids, his is the truck he drives.
Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Probably me

Who kissed who first? I kissed him. I never knew I was so forward.
Who asked who out? We never went out, it was usually him pretending we were gonna hang out with his sister and everyone would mysteriously disappear.

Who proposed? I did the day I met him, and then he did with a ring later.
Who is more sensitive? Usually me, but sometimes he surprises me by being sensitive about some random thing.

Who has more friends? I have no idea. I talk on the phone more, and go out more, but he spends all those days hanging out with guys at the fire station. He knows everyone it feels like. Nobody doesn't like Josh.

Who wears the pants in the family? Me but like I said sometimes he gets an idea in his head and thats what goes.

So now I'm supposed to "tag" others to take a turn answering this survey through email or on their blog. I am tagging Lynette, Amelia, and anyone else who feels so inclined. Thanks Nat, and I barely had to change any of the answers.

The star factory

Josh's Dad makes stars out of wood and so this year he took a chance and got a booth at the rice harvest festival, so we got to go, and party. The kids went on rides, got to buy the cutest pink parasol, and Rylan conked out. It was the perfect weather, and we had a blast!!! I even learned how to make a website this week, from scratch. Check it out...www.thestar-factory.com







The rides lasted forever, adn you can tell by Ashlyn's face even she was ready to get of it!




So much to say

Rylan is getting so observant now. He loves watching people especially his big brother and sister. He pays close attention to every move they make. As soon as he hears Josh's voice when he comes home you can tell Rylan is panning for his face and gets so excited until Josh comes and gets him. Anyways heres a picture of him and Jayden playing.





Here's some sweet pictures of the kids. Rylan loves snuggles, but if you get too close he'll try to eat your face. Hes a very slobbery baby, but he's so cute that most the time you don't notice that you are getting completely drenched.







Rylan and Jayden are finally old enough to have some matching clothes. Sooo cute. Jayden is so proud of his little brother.
