For the Love of Peas and Monkeys

Top Ten Reasons I Love Being Mama April 28, 2007

Tracy at Rambling Thoughts of the Neverending Mind made her list of ten reasons being a mother is worth it, and asked if anyone else would like to share so here is my list.

  1. I love how my little Sweet Pea will tell me a million times a day how much she loves me.
  2. Every morning I go in to get my Chunky Monkey he always has a smile on his face and gives me a kiss.
  3. I love watching my two play and laugh and giggle over the silliest things.
  4. Anytime Sweet Pea sees that I’m sad she’ll come over and give me the biggest hug and kiss and say that I’m the best Mama in the world.
  5. Anytime Chunky Monkey has a boo-boo he’ll come straight to me arms out saying Mama, and lets me hold him close.
  6.  Whenever David and I come home from a date Sweet Pea runs up and hugs me telling me how much she missed me while I was gone and that she’s so glad that I’m back.
  7. Every night before she goes to sleep I get a ton of hugs and kisses, and then I tell her to dream with the angels, and she’ll tell me “don’t let the night time bugs bite.”
  8. My little Chunky Monkey will give me raspberries out of the blue and the more I laugh the more he laughs and continues doing it-slobber and all.
  9. Still being able to hold my little girl in my arms and telling her how much I love her.
  10. When my little guy wakes up in the middle of the night I lay on the couch with him and he just nuzzles his face in my neck with his hand on my face.

I thank God everyday that he gave two beautiful and sweet precious children.  I love them more than words can express, and I know how much they love me.  I would never turn the clock back to the time before I had children because they are the best thing that has ever happened in my life-right next to my hubby David.

 

Summer Blockbusters April 28, 2007

Filed under: Movies — Jesse @ 8:56 am

The other day David got his Entertainment Weekly magazine in the mail, and let me say I’m so excited by the movies that are coming out this summer.  So here is the list of movies that I am uber excited to go and see.

May 4-Spiderman 3  Ok this movie is going to be awesome.  I loved the first two and I know I will not be disappointed.  In this movie we have three new characters: Thomas Haden Church as Sandman, Topher Grace as Venom, and Bryce Dallas Howard as Gwen Stacy.  There is even talk of making a Spiderman 4 but I guess we’ll have to see how number 3 does but I know I won’t be disappointed.

May 18-Shrek the ThirdI’m sure if you liked the first two the third will not be disappointing, and who doesn’t like to see some princesses kick some butt :)   Since we have watched the first two we can’t wait to take Sweet Pea to go and see it, oh and she love Puss n Boots, as for me I think Donkey is hilarious, but then again so is Mike Myers as Shrek.  Ok so basically I like all the people in it and the movie.

May 25-Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.  All I can say is that I love Capt. Jack Sparrow but probably not as much as my mil (since she has a poster of him on her fridge), even though I’ve been a huge fan of Johnny Depp since 21 Jumpstreet.  Ok enough about that, this is the last installment and from all the trailers I’ve seen it will prove to be an awesome movie with some sweet fighting scenes.  With two new characters: Chow Yun-Fat as Pirate Lord of Singapore, and Keith Richards as Captain Teague who might be Jack Sparrows dad.

June 22-Evan AlmightyFirst off I think Steve Carell is hilarious and I also thought Bruce Almighty was great.  So with that being said I think this will be just as funny if not more than the first one.  In case you haven’t seen any trailers it’s a comedy form of Noah’s Ark.  With all the animals he wanted to use the movies budget was about $175 million-wow.

July 13-Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix  Just to let y’all in on a big secret-ok it’s no secret-I’m a HUGE Harry Potter fan.  I have all the books and I’m dying to read the last one, I also own the movies and have watched them to many times to count.  Now I don’t go as far as the Star Trek, Star Wars, or the Lord of the Ring fans, but I am a big fan.  I have enjoyed all of the movies and like the books each movie just gets better.  So yes I will waiting in line about 1 hr or 1n1/2 hrs before the movie starts because I refuse, I mean refuse to sit in the front row like I had to last time-thanks hun.

Ok there are many more good movies that are coming out this summer but the ones I listed are the ones I’m definitely plan on seeing.  Let me know what you think and what movies you are looking forward to.  Have a great weekend!
