Spotlight ~ Kaeleigh

I didn't know what to do with a few random pictures of KK so decided to spotlight her. I hope you like them :)


Her doppleganger... looks like blood from her finger doesn't it.
It's actually the product of trusting her to eat chocolate pudding on her own!

Oops!

Playing with my big sister.


"I think I can, I think I can".



"Weeeee...I did it"!


What an angel xx

Can we fix it?...Yes we can!


It's been a long day.

8th Birthday ~ part 2

The most important thing Kaitlin wanted for her birthday was to get her ears pierced. She'd been waiting all year for this day so without further ado, here's how it went down...






Nervously waiting for the deed to be done.


She did very well...no tears spilled, just a little jump each time the earings were inserted.


Showing off her new flower studs. Kaitlin was soooo happy.



We were told that Kaitlin wasn't the first red head with freckles to get her ears pierced that morning. Another girl came in just before us, she was also celebrating her 8th birthday.
Hmmm, what are the odds of that?!
The next day Kaitlin was showing her friends at church. Low and behold, one of them, who's 8th birthday was 2 days before had gone to the same place on the same day and gotten her ears pierced by the same girl using the same earings!!!!
Not only will they get to share their baptism together but they also inadvertantly got earings on the same day :D

8th Birthday ~ part 1

A gift from Mike's parents. Stunning earrings... hmmm, how did they know she was getting her ears pierced?

My parents brought this cute purse with accessories. The main gift was a fish and fish tank. Kaitlin named her male beta Dexter after the naughty monkey from the movie, Night at the Museum.


From Mom, Dad, Braden and Kaeleigh.
This was second on her wish list.



Test driving her scooter...obviously the bar needs to be raised up a bit.



"Hey, sissy wait for me"!!




Kaitlin baked and decorated her cake.





Well done...it looks delicious ;P



Make a wish

Mother's Day Pictures

Mother's Day was a nice relaxing day for me. Often I feel tired and overworked from raising my family and running a day care (which are rewarding but also challenging). The best gift I received was...no kids or cooking for the day.
Thanx Honey your the best xxx

Here are a few pictures for you to look at. I have more so maybe they'll get added later.

Me and my older kids.












I like this one of me.






Miss Kaitlin.

Movie Review 13

When Briony Tallis, 13 years old and an aspiring writer, sees her older sister Cecilia and Robbie Turner at the fountain in front of the family estate she misinterprets what is happening thus setting into motion a series of misunderstandings and a childish pique that will have lasting repercussions for all of them. Robbie is the son of a family servant toward whom the family has always been kind. After the fountain incident, Briony reads a letter intended for Cecilia and concludes that Robbie is a deviant. When her cousin Lola is raped, she tells the police that it was Robbie she saw committing the deed when in fact it was a visitor to the estate.

I watching this not knowing anything about the plot. Mike and I really liked it, the cinematography was fantastic and the actors were very believeable. Thumbs up.


Hotel handyman Skeeter Bronson's life is changed forever when the bedtime stories he tells his niece and nephew start to mysteriously come true. He attempts to take advantage of the phenomenon, incorporating his own aspirations into one outlandish tale after another, but it's the kids' unexpected contributions that turn Skeeter's life upside down.

I wasn't crazy about this movie. True to all of Adam Sandler's films but a very toned down version. In all honesty...was a bit boring, but our kids liked it.

Paul Blart is a mild-mannered, dutiful family man who works as a security guard in a New Jersey mall. For years, he has applied to become a cop, but he always fails the physical exam because he is overweight. One day, a gang of organized criminals put the mall under siege and take hostages. Blart becomes trapped inside, and because of his sense of duty, refuses to leave. He thus becomes the police department's eyes on the inside and attempts to stop the criminals on his own.
I find Kevin James absolutely hilarious so I might be biased on this one. This story had me pulling for the underdog, it was funny, heartwarming and very appropriate for younger viewers.
Every member of the family loved this one. Two thumbs up.

Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway) are best friends who since childhood have planned every detail of their respective weddings. At the top of their bridal "must have" list: a ceremony at New York's ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel. Now, at age 26, they're both about to get married; they're about to realize their dreams; and they're about to live happily ever after. When a clerical error causes a clash in wedding dates - they're now to be married on the same date! - Liv, Emma and their lifelong friendship are put to the ultimate test.

"Torture" is the best word to describe this flick!! I love chick flicks just as much as the next girl but this one was almost painful to watch. The slapstick comedy had me chuckling once or twice but most of the time I was just trying to stay awake! It wasn't hard to figure out the plot which was quite predictable. What's the saying?.. "I wrote the plot"!
