Great movie!

What Would Jesus Buy?

It's from the makers of SuperSize Me which we loved.

Here is the general synopsis from their website: Through retail interventions, corporate exorcisms, and some good old-fashioned preaching, Reverend Billy reminds us that we have lost the true meaning of Christmas. What Would Jesus Buy? is a journey into the heart of America – from exorcising the demons at the Wal-Mart headquarters to taking over the center stage at the Mall of America and then ultimately heading to the Promised Land … Disneyland.

I hate this

We went to the Canyon Crest Town Center tonight to pick up our art from color me mine and decided to go to Rite Aid for some cheap ice cream and walk around a bit. It was so sad seeing all the stores that are closing. First were 2 boutiques near Jammin Bread and then Ananda which has been there since I went to the Town Center as a teenager to hang out at See's Coffee. Then I saw it...Imagine That, the greatest bookstore ever is closing. They have such an amazing selection on books and they also had a preschool story time every Saturday morning.

So sad.

After being told "You will be so pretty...when you are skinny" I am all with the above statement. What makes people say such inconsiderate things?

To speak without thinking is to shoot without aiming

Horseback riding

Isabella was invited to a friends birthday at a ranch today! We both really enjoyed it , being there makes me want a horse!


Here she is riding O'Henry, such a gentle and smart horse.


She lead him really well.


Here she is posing with another horse, I love the sequence of these.







Here she is with her B.F.F. Zoe and a miniature horse.


Grooming:


They fed them carrots but I didn't get any shots of that, I wanted to make sure this didn't happen:


Here is the most beautiful horse I have ever seen, he weighs 2,000 pounds! He was about 6'5 inches tall.



Here he is devouring a whole carrot in 1 fail swoop!


Happy Birthday Chelsi!

LOVE this book!

It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me want a puppy! If you are a dog lover especially, please check it out. I also heard that there is being a movie made about it, I can't wait!

This just makes me laugh, I think it would make my 9 year old nephew Jimmy laugh too, I love that I find the same things funny as my 9 year old nephew!

Funday

Sunday was our funday (now you have the Go Go's song stuck in your head too!), Zach has his beloved choo choo "towing" his cart. I think he will be a tow truck driver when he grows up, he loves towing. Notice when he backs up he says "beep beep beep" haha!



Here is Isabella pulling Zach around the house in the same caart, he was laughing and crying all at the same time! Again, I am such a mean mom for laughing at my kid!

Yum

My favorite new thing! We got this from Costco, I grilled it on my handy dandy grill pan for about 15 minutes and it was delicious! Crunchy topping, flaky inside.

Small?

This is a SMALL drink! When did a small become bigger than your head?

Mother's tea party

We had a tea party at Isabella's school on Friday, we had such a good time! I made her dress and our headbands, I couldn't get the pattern of the fabric to line up right on my circle skirt so I gave up! Oh well, maybe someday.

Here's her dress:



Our matching headbands:



Here she is singing with her boyfriend Michael on the left of her. (kidding, he is not her boyfriend, but she does want to marry him!!)

Zach spotted beetles

they're not just at our house, yay! Here is a photo of Zach on Mother's day, he spotted a few beetles and wouldn't get off this chair for about 30 minutes or more!

annoyed

I normally post photos on here by linking them from photobucket. Well, photobucket shuts down my browser every time I upload photos. I tried flickr but it doesn't have all the cool options that photobucket has. Anyone have any ideas on what to do or another photo sharing site?

beetles?

Anyone else being over run with beetles? We see a few a day, luckily we have only had one in the house. I say luckily because Zach is DEATHLY afraid of them. He screams and starts shaking and takes off running at top speed!! It's actually really funny, I know, I'm a terrible person for laughing at my kid.

it hurts to type

Well not really but anything that involves lifting my arm from my sides is painful. I was putting laundry in the washing machine and my hands were shaking! All because of my new best friend Mandy, my personal trainer. She had me work biceps (with 12 pound weights!) my back and abs. I have never pushed myself that hard in my life. Oh, and I did a plank, she wanted me to go for 30 seconds but I pushed myself and did it for 1 minute! Here is a photo of a plank in case you don't know what I am talking about.



And if you're saying "that looks easy!" TRY it!

my new toys

portable MP3 speakers to use in my bathroom when I am getting ready in the morning, they are as small as an eyeglass case but are pretty loud, and the sound is good! to go with:

my new MP3 player

It's amazing, it's about the size of a 2 tubes of chap stick, holds so much more music than my old MP3 player (a 1st generation IPOD shuffle), it has a clip so I don't have to wear the lame little strap from the shuffle:



It has an FM tuner so I listen to actual adult music or watch the TV's that they have at the gym.

Off to legally download music! =)
