Movie or Book?

While my dad was here he watched a movie called Kingdom of Heaven. We happened to own it but neither of us had seen it. Dad said it might of been the best movie he had ever seen. So of course we have to watch it now. Kevin turned it on last night and was so tired he fell asleep after like 2 minutes of it. I couldn't believe how good it was once I got past a few of the bloody fight scenes. Anyway, I am not finished with it yet but so far it has really got me thinking. 

The knights take a pledge to be honest at all times, to do what's right even if it doesn't benefit them and to protect the helpless. It is so inspiring. Here is my favorite line so far: Your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God you cannot say but I was told by others to do this or to do that or that virtue just wasn't convenient at the time. That just won't suffice. 

So if you are looking for a good movie and want to be inspired check it out. 

Oh yeah here is the crazy thing - It is a lot like the book Kevin just finished reading called Tale of Three Kings. It was an awesome book! So there you go  - A good book or a good movie - your pick! 

Outside Pictures

I am so grateful for my parents. They are not just my parents they are my best friends! They came to visit last weekend and we had lots of fun! The girls had a blast playing with my dad in the back yard. Here are a few pictures I took on his camera. It has a really good zoom. 

Catching Up

Singing Happy Birthday to Ella. 

Some of the candy at Ella's party
Yes this is Princess Leah! 
Even the babies knew what to do with the light sabers. This is Stone who is almost a year. He loves to play with Liv. Kevin was proud of Liv's skills. 
Ella's friend Savannah Grace.  They had so much fun!

Coffee with Kate

Last night was really fun! She was really sweet and humble and she has an amazing testimony! She mostly spoke about from the time she got pregnant thru the first year of all the kids. 

Weekly Update Part 2

Liv found the ipod and started saying "hello". Future iphone user right here! 

This is kind of weird. This is how I found Liv when she woke up from her nap. I'm not sure how it happened she hasn't gotten her arm out before. The funny thing was that she didn't want me to fix it. She just wanted to watch a movie with Ella.

This is Ella playing with Jello. Actually Play-Dough but she can't remember that and she keeps calling it Jello. 

She had to pose with daddy too after she saw me take a picture of Liv with daddy (below). She is daddy's girl though!!

Weekly Update

Me & Liv. She actually saw the camera and posed. I don't really like this one of me but I couldn't resist because she was so cute! 

Kevin had just got home from work and Liv has to get up on his lap.

 This is the missing picture from the night we made the fire. Once was lost but now is found and I just had to post it. She loves having a fire and she always asks if we can have mushrooms. She has always confused them with marshmallows. 

This is princess Ella in her skirt that Karey sent. It was one of the girls but Ella likes to say it was Brittany's skirt. I can hardly get it off of her. The last picture is one of Ella's cute outfits that I had to put on Liv. She loves the fur. 

Making a fire

this was New Years Eve. Kevin was in 80's clothes but he looked more like teen wolf. 
Finally it is cold here at night and we can build fires again! The kids love it cuz they get to play in the backyard at night! 
Liv finally is enjoying herself out there and not constantly trying to get the fire. Usually we get worn out chasing her and finally make her watch from the back door but she did good and sat in her chair. Yeah!
