The Weekend update

We had a great weekend, not too many things to do, just enough things to keep us from getting cabin fever. Friday we had movie night, Jaime and I have decided to "educate" our girls in the cinimatic wonders from the 80's and 90's. Don't ask me why, but they can't get enough of movies like "The Neverending story", "The Princess Bride", "Karate Kid", anything with Fred Savage or by Jim Henson. I really get a kick out of how much they love watching these old movies, bad special effects and all. This week it's all about Charlie Brown and Ducktales woo, oo. Now I want to know, what is your favorite movies from when you were a kid? With Thanksgiving and Christmas break comming up, we are going to have a lot of movie time on our hands!

Saturday Jaime and I attempted to clean out the garage, we didn't get very far but it was a noble attempt. We also participated in the Rake up Nampa thing, it was great, he had like 8 of his employee's and their spouses. We got to the house and their was 1 tree, yeah it was super hard work!! Mrs. Palmer was very appreciative though, she gave us cookies!

Sunday was nice, I slept in till 8:30, which is quite a feat in this family of early risers, made a big breakfast and basically vegged for the rest of the day, Jaime went and played B-ball with the guys from church.

Okay...fav movies from all time: 'The Neverending Story' and 'The Labrynth' and of course 'Rainbowbrite'!

By the way...I charge $100 for a family session. It can be at any location you choose and for as long as you choose with as many poses and combinations as you want. I edit all of them and you get the CD with all the rights to print whatever you want, wherever you want. Let me know if you are interested!

Ok, I totally forgot about The Neverending Story! My favorites were the Princess Bride, and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Don't know when that was filmed, but they might like it if they like music. Ok, I know Gabo likes music because I have seen her shake her booty to many different movies where there is music :-) Not that Julianna doesn't :-) I will let you know if I think of any other super great movies from that time!!!
