Family Movie Nite!

We went to a seminar with Nicholeen Peck a few weeks ago and she talked about having Family Movie Night every week to help strengthen your family by doing something fun. When Mike got home from work on Saturday we decided to have Family Movie Night that night.
I think we went a little over board by getting three movies because we stayed up till 12:30 - which we haven't done in a year. But we had a good time.
These are the movies we saw and I'd recommend them to any one!

We absolutely loved Bedtime Stories: I hesitated to see this movie when it came out because I've been disappointed with other Adam Sandler movies. I think he is hilarious as long as he is clean and he did an excellent job in this one. And he always uses 80's songs which totally rock! I guess I "underdemeciated" him.

Racing Stripes: you gotta love those beat the odds, all heart movies. Especially when they end with an awesome song! And the kids loved watching all the animals.

Pride and Prejudice: Classic, beautiful love story. And amazing filming! Mike commented more then once at the great camera angles.
Jane Austen does such a great job and capturing the complexities of humanity.

Party Canceled...

Getting Ready.

This week I'm in preparation mode. Cleaning, organizing and beautifying my house. Thursday the 21st, I am hosting a Fundraiser Event for Gubernatorial Candidate Mayor Vernon Parker of Paradise Valley.
I'm am so excited to be helping a good man with conservative values get into office and also to be hosting an event. I love parties!
If you're interested in coming and meeting him shoot me an email or leave me a comment with your email and I'll send you the details.

We're going to try this blogging thing more. It's been almost a year since I've posted anything and it's time to try something new.
Here Goes Nothing>>>>>>>>>>>>

Here she is! the newest member of our team.

Her name means "God is my teacher"

We are so happy to have her here even if it means we don't sleep as much and we are all eating a lot more cold cereal and watching more movies to keep big sisters occupied.

This picture was inspired by a talk given by
Chris Brady (pictured) at a recent Team/Mona Vie Leadership Convention we attended here in Phoenix.
There was, infact a lot of art inspired by many of the talks given. There will be more to follow. But were going to make the t-shirts first.

Ra Ra goes to the Castle!

It's Time to Celebrate!

Here is a picture of RaRa when she finally got to go to "her Castle" (golfland) after achieving her goal of potty training!

A few weeks before this event her and mommy were discussing her goal. They talked about how to get stickers for her chart "And when all spaces are filled up, what do you get to do?" Mommy asked. "I get to go to the castle, and I get to meet a PRINCE!" She exclaimed.
