FLASHBACK FRIDAY - April 2005

In April 2005 we went to Hawaii for a Bintz Business trip. So we decided to take the kids. Unfortunately Michael was on his mission at the time. So this is a touchy subject for him. Sorry Michael. We had so much fun. Here are a few pictures from our time on Maui and Oahu.

Twilight / New Moon News

For those who care, I was surfing the internet last night trying to see if there was a trailer for the Movie "New Moon". I was totally confused because there were about 60 of them. Most of them are all "Fan Made" and they are DUMB! I don't think there is an official trailer yet. There has also been some gossip about who will playing the part of "Jacob". On Stephanie Meyer's website, they confirmed that it would be "Taylor Lautner", who played "Jacob" in Twilight. They say he is trying to work out and bulk up so he is a more convincing "Jacob". He is a cutie!The movie won't be out until November 2009 (I think). Meanwhile, the movie Twilight will be out on DVD on March 21st. Wahoo! I know it was a little cheesy in parts but it is still a sweet love story. Maybe they will use a little less glitter on Edward when he sparkles in the Sunlight. I also didn't realize that "Carlisle" is married to Jenny Garth. Thank you Angie Schroepher for that bit of trivia.
I knew he looked familiar. Anyway, that is all the news I have about Twilight and New Moon. So if anyone has anything to add, please do so.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY - May 2003

We took a family trip to Island Park and Yellowstone because we had free use of a condo in Island Park. It was a little cold to be there and it wasn't quite tourist season yet. So a lot of places were closed. But we had a great time. This is a picture of the kids enjoying the big buffalo. Of course I made them get out of the car and pose. (How did I know that someday I would want to blog these pictures?) This is also the time when Michael was flirting with a waitress at this hole in the wall restaurant. He nonchalantly put his arm out over a chair (trying to look really cool) and acting very suave asked, "Do you, um, have free refills?" She just looked at him as if her were crazy but she did smile..... We laughed and laughed and we have given him such a hard time about that. Feel free to tease him anytime. He loves it! He will probably kill me though. Check the obits for my name. :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

I hope that everyone had a great 2008 and that 2009 will be even better. I am not going to make resolutions though. I've learned from the past that it doesn't do me any good. So good luck to all of you who have set goals and I hope that you will be successful. Now, If I were to make 5 year resolutions that would be easier. To see Michael and Mallory graduate from college. See Cameron graduate from high school and go on a mission. Maybe have Michael and Mallory married and working on making me a Grandma. ( I am going to be the best Grandma someday.) I guess those aren't exactly personal goals but my goals for my family. I should add that I hope that Troy and I will have good health to enjoy these future events.
