I just finished this great movie called the "Martian Child"...anyone who loves kiddos will love this one. But the reason why I am posting this is because I just couldn't get over the cute kid in the movie. My cousin Amy lives in Texas and is a Mom of four kids. Her youngest child is Ethan...he is about 6 months younger than the boys. I have never actually met him, but every picture I see of him looks like the "Martian Child". Anyways....even if you don't enjoy the movie, I hope you enjoy the pic of the cuttest Ethan ever! A pic from the movie

Speaking of Disneyland....
Come on now people...This is the future? Even back in the 80's they came up with better futuristic cars. I know that it only costs $14,000, but come on....I think my children would have a hard time fitting in this car one at a time, let alone myself. What is a Mother to do when she needs to drive around children and their friends day in and day out in a car like this. I don't even think that my shopping bag would fit in this thing with me. Now that is a problem!!! Tell me what you think...
Proud to trade pins..Who wouldn't be!!!

Look what B can do...
A bit scary yes....but Brandon picked up his very first saw and began cutting away at our new shelving. Usually I would be the one to do all of the scary labor, but our friends Ben and Keith were making B feel bad about himself (what with all of their manly skills of building cars and homes). He makes a wife proud!!! Just joking B...heheeheee.

A very special Date!
Today Cameron had to stay home because of a low grade fever and a very painful ear infection. Because of this he missed his very first Valentines Day celebration in his class room. In this case, I tried to make the day as special as I could. So he and I went out to his favorite mexican resturant and then we took a walk along the boat docks. It was so much fun!!! It is rare that I get the chance to spend alone time with only one of my children. He felt very special and so did I. It was a shame that it had to be on account of him being sick...and he did ask about every hour when his brother would make it home...but it was great! Jonathan brought home all of Cameron's valentines from all of his friends. What a good brother and what a special relationship they have. I learn something new from them everyday!

So very funny!!!
I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. I know what you are going to say....it is completely out of character for me to put this on my blog, but Sarah Silverman is soooo funny. And Matt Damon....oh Matt Damon. Everytime he almost laughs while singing....well I almost pee my pants. Please don't be offended by the content of this video. It is just sooo very funny!!!

A Simple Game Of Chess
SUPER BOWL 42 SUNDAY
YES THE DAY IS HERE. SUPER BOWL SUNDAY. THE PATRIOTS AGAINST THE GIANTS. WHAT TO DO WHAT TO DO! WELL FOR ME, ITS NOT HARD. THOUGH THE GIANTS HAVE AN AMAZING TEAM...AND WHEN I SAY TEAM I MEAN THEY REALLY PLAY WELL TOGETHER, AND ANOTHER MANNING GOES TO THE BOWL....THE PATRIOTS ARE UNDEFEATED (AND LETS NOT FORGET THE VERY GOOD LOOKING TOM BRADY). WELL HERE IS MY ANSWER TO CHOOSING SIDES. OF COURSE I WOULD CHOOSE NEITHER....THE SEAHAWKS ARE THE ONLY TEAM FOR THIS HOUSEHOLD! SO I CHOOSE THE COMMERCIALS. THAT'S RIGHT I SAID IT...THE COMMERCIALS. I WILL BE LOOKING OUT FOR THE BEST ONES. I MAY EVEN RANK THEM BY FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD. KEEP YOUR EYE OUT ON MY DECISION. BLESSINGS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GREAT GAME DAY!!!
