Friday Favorites

-
I love movies. Funny ones, action, romantic ones, Disney ones, all kinds. I am not picky when it comes to movies- I just love being thrown into a world and getting caught up in a storyline for a few hours. When I was young, my Dad and I used to go to the movies every weekend that I was with him. Sometimes, we would even do a double movie day. Movie, lunch, movie- now, that was a great day. Jason and I used to go to movies all the time, too. Our very first date was to the movie theater behind Hulen Mall and we saw Deep Impact. On our first anniversary, Jason rented out one of the theaters at the Ridglea movie theater on Camp Bowie and had them play, wait for it... Deep Impact. He had Cafe Aspen cater the meal, and we ate in the movie theater while watching the movie. I told you he was a keeper!!

Anyway, one of my favorite things to do is...

Go To The Movies!

I love to watch movies at home, too, and that is where we see most of our movies now a days. Pay-per-view, baby. But, there is something about going to the theater. As I said, we used to go all the time, so we saw anything and everything. We would even see movies on vacation sometimes! Now that we go to the movies only a couple of times a year, it's like there is this pressure to choose the "right" movie, so it will be a great experience. I can't wait until we start taking the kids to the movies, they are really excited about Horton Hears A Who, so that might be our first family movie experience.

I'm doing a post about movies today, too! Weeeird. I think it's so funny that you and Jason's big romantic movie is Deep Impact of all things. I had never heard that story about your first anniversary! Very nice.

Stephen and I love the movies too! Our first date was "Three Kings" very romantic much like "Deep Inmpact". I remember you first date-good old Lady Foot Locker Days! It's a good thing you dumped over that box of price tags so you could have time to talk to Jason!

Milk duds are my favorite too. They are perfect because they get the popcorn out of your teeth!

Fun Family Weekend

Jason was off Saturday, and I was really looking forward to a family weekend. He usually works Saturdays, but when he is off and we get 2 days in a row all together, we are so happy!! Friday night he called on his way home from work, and told the kids to get dressed in their cowboy boots, we were going somewhere. The kids got so excited, and ran to their rooms. Lucy got some new cowgirl boots for Christmas (2 pairs, actually), and has been wearing them alot!! They got all dressed up in their cowboy stuff and we waited for Daddy to get home. He took us to Trail Dust Steakhouse in Arlington, and he invited my sisters, too. It was so fun!! I hadn't been there since my 16th birthday party, and the kids had a blast; sliding down the slide, dancing on the dance floor and eating yummy steak. It was such a fun night!!! If you wear a tie, they cut it off and put it on their wall!! He wore an old tie on purpose The weekend just kept getting better!! Yesterday, Jason and I had a great date ni...

Well, you find things like this in your backyard: There are lots of fun things about living "out" here and having more than an acre of land to explore. We have roadrunners, roosters, chickens, lizards (apparently!), bonfires, and lots of fun. The kids were so intrigued. They have really developed a love for animals and outdoors A close up of our friend

Happy Spring Break to Walker and Lucy!!

This week Walker and Lucy are off from ARK School. They are actually NOT excited, they love school!! Caitlin is home this week, too, though so that is fun. We had a great weekend to end my break and kick off the kids. Saturday , we drove to a drive-in theater in Granbury. Colleen (my friend and Walker's teacher) told us about this drive-in and it was showing Horton Hears a Who!, so we decided to check it out. I am so glad there is still one around. Drive-ins are just one of those things I have great memories of and want to do with my kids. At the drive-in, with a good spot. Being comfy in our jim jammers!! Enjoying our picnic dinner. Fruit skewers, pb&j roll-ups, and cheetos!! Sunday , we had a great family lunch at mom's, then it was off to the TCU Easter Egg Hunt. The kids looked so cute, and had fun hunting eggs. However, they could not be persuaded to take pictures with the Easter Bunny or Super Frog. Oh, well. Lucy, looking around for some eggs Showing off his loot! My...
