Children's Hospital

*UPDATE* Her blood work shows no problems so we will check it again before she hits puberty.


Mike and I noticed that whenever Kaeleigh gets a cut it take's longer than normal to stop bleeding. We mentioned this to her doctor who felt it a good idea to get a blood test done. She needs to find out if Kaeleigh has a clotting problem. I'm interested to see what the results are as this isn't in our family history.


Mike took Kaeleigh for the appointment which was probably better. Apparently he and another nurse had to hold her still for the blood draw. As soon as it was done she sat up and stopped crying...hmm...must have been the strangers with masks that brought on the tears!!!

In the picture she's showing me her "ow" and grimacing at the memory. She was quite put out but none the worse for wear :)

Movie Review 11

Coming together to solve a series of murders in New York City are a DEA agent whose family was slain as part of a conspiracy and an assassin out to avenge her sister's death. The duo will be hunted by the police, the mob, and a ruthless corporation.

It was very slow for the first half of the movie but the action at the end was pretty good. A mediocre story, not one of Mark Wahlberg's best movies (his performance was good though).

In this continuation to the adventure of the demon superhero, an evil elf breaks an ancient pact between humans and creatures, as he declares war against humanity. He is on a mission to release The Golden Army, a deadly group of fighting machines that can destroy the human race. As Hell on Earth is ready to erupt, Hellboy and his crew set out to defeat the evil prince before The Golden Army can destroy humanity's existence.

I liked this movie better than the first one. It was full of cool stunts and FX. The kids liked this one too.

Depicting the events after the Gamma Bomb. 'The Incredible Hulk' tells the story of Dr Bruce Banner, who seeks a cure to his unique condition, which causes him to turn into a giant green monster under emotional stress. Whilst on the run from military which seeks his capture, Banner comes close to a cure. But all is lost when a new creature emerges; The Abomination.

I was surprised at this one. I liked it quite alot. We let the kids sit in on the movie too and they really liked it. I actually thought it was another remake of the first hulk movie (the one with eric bana as the hulk) I didn't realize that this was a sequel...duh!!

Funny Brains

Chase Away the Winter Blues

here's another funny one...

Punishment or Torture?

When the kids got home from school yesterday...Braden took a brief trip to "Doofusville" as we affectionately call "mistakes" or "relapses in rational thinking" at our house.
He took his frustration out on Kaitlin by hitting her.
Yes, I know it's very sad...but true :(

We tell him the usual stuff about how inappropriate it is to hit "yada yada yada" and then send him to his room. Mike decided to give him two choices 1. stay in his room or 2. write "I love my Sister" 200 times.

Braden almost choked on the second option but decided it was better than being sentenced to his room for the night. He did it!

Unfortunately he edited the word love out of the sentence and inserted "like". His reasoning for this was that "like" is easier to write than "love". Yea right Braden, we all know that you don't want to appear as if you do, in fact, actually "love" Kaitlin ;O


A sample of the many pages he wrote. I didn't have the heart to make him start over.

Kaitlin's response. Sigh... don't you just love siblings ;)
