Let the games begin

Does everyone out there know I just LOVE fall. Well, I do. One of the biggest reasons is because of, yes, you guessed it........Fall Football. I get all excited just thinking about it. Not so much pro football, but College and High School football. I can't wait to see the Vandals play with their brand spanking new Coach. Look out, this could be good. Ok, it might take a bit, but I think there is going to be some improvement here. It is starting to feel better to be a vandal fan. I-D-A-H-O, Idaho, Idaho, GO, GO, GO!!!!!! Oh, I can hear myself yelling it now. Oh, and my dad has season tickets. It doesn't get much better than that.
P.S. I will soon be updating you all on the mighty tigers also. I will post pics later!!!! Enjoy.

Here it is!!!!!

Here's my cute new SUV, guys. I just thought you'd be just as happy as me to see it. I know, your not. But oh well, here it is anyway!!!! ( Oh, and it has a sun roof......yes, that's a big deal. Ask Danielle....)

Step Up, people!!!

Ok, I am not claiming to be a movie critic. Even though, I love to give my VERY non- professional opinion about them lately.
So, yesterday, my mom, daughter and I went to the movies and saw "Step Up". It was so just what I wanted to see. You know, I love dirty dancing, flashdance, fame, all those awesome shows that revolve around dancing. So, I took my 7 year old to the PG-13 film and took the chance that it was appropriate for her. The movie was fine, the previews were another story. Anyway, this movie just makes you feel happy when you see it. It has awesome music, dancing, It is "sort of" a love story.....perfect. I loved it, my daughter loved it, my mom loved it...It just made us feel all warm and cozy when we left the theatre. ( Never mind that the temperature outside was.....85ish.) It was because of the movie......OK. Anyway, go see it, not for the quality of the acting, but for the dance. I think you will like it. My daughter can't wait till it comes out on video. :-)

Gender Confusion

Hey, why would we be suprised that our dog is very confused whether he is a boy or a girl???? First, I put his hair up in a pony tail. He absolutely HAS to wear this every day, all day. (We wouldn't want to have his hair in his eyes now, would we??!!!) Second, My daughter likes to dress him in girly clothes. Like this fairy outfit in the picture with her friend. So, therefore, he squats to pee about 50% of the time. He seems to really like male dogs. ( I mean, he REALLY likes male dogs..), ok, yes he likes female dogs too.....? He is just plain pretty. That is it. He is my pretty little boy. Oh my gosh, I just realized we may very well be lucky we only have a girl child. Anyway, he is still the cutest little guy. This isn't considered animal abuse, is it?????

To Infinity and Beyond......

Oh gosh, she will kill me for posting that title. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity. Yes, I know that everything "Buzz Lightyear" is like, totally, not cool anymore.
Anyway, how do you like my little space traveler??? Cute huh. Who knows where she is traveling too. Hopefully she will be home by dinner, though.

The Car Salesman

Ok, I have a need to vent. Who hates car salesmen??????? That's all I needed to say....

We've Got the Spirit!!!

Check out my little cheerleader. ( Thats her right in the middle.) Way cute, huh. She went to cheer camp 2 weeks ago and this is the picture of their final performance. They learned about 6 cheers and 1 dance. (or do you call it a drill??? ) I don't know the correct term anymore. You see, it has been about 15 years since I have been in a cheerleading uniform. (Go Tigers...:-) ) Anyway, I was so proud of her........

"Crazy"

Hey guys, check out this new song that Danielle and I have been hearing on the radio. It is called "Crazy" by Gnarles Barkley. It is off of his album titled "St. Elsewhere". The first time we heard it we were like..." oh, weird.." and then the more we heard it the more we liked it. Anyway, listen to it for yourselves.., its just weird enough for us to dig it!!!!! Enjoy.

Monster House

We went to see the new movie out for kids...." Monster House" this past weekend. You have to go see it, even if you dont bring along the kids!!! It was sooooo cute, right from the start it had me laughing. The little girl on the trike at the beginning almost had me rolling with laughter. Gotta see it!!!!
Ok, so here's the other reason I am blogging about this adventure at the theatre. This time, I can not complain about the movie. It was perfect. The computer animation was to die for, the story line was cute, a little scary ( even for my grown up self) and super funny. ( they slide some adult humor in there that the kids aren't sopposed to catch..., but they do...) Anyway, I think I have decided that I will need to have a few alcoholic drinks before my next trip to the theatre for a kids show. Yes, it was that bad. I think I have much more patience when I am under the influence. So, the family behind us was like, on glue. The little boy kept screaming to his mom " I thirsty, I thirsty" in this annoying, weird voice. Then they were eating popcorn but it was like they were wolves in the wild that hadn't eaten in about a week. The sound effects were terrible. And I am not talking about the movie. This was the worst case of "weird people" I have seen in like, years. Why me. Why during this extra cute movie. Why today. Why can't you just shut up and eat quietly. Go home and chomp your extra large popcorn and slurp your big daddy size Coke. These type of people need to just rent movies and watch from home. Don't ruin a good thing for me.
I actually thought it was just me being irritable. I thought, " Oh my gosh, I am not even a nice person any more. I am terrible for having these thoughts of yelling at the little boy to SHUT UP!!" But I looked over at my husband and he had that same look of disgust on his face. So, we happily moved to the other side of the aisle. From there we watched the rest of the movie in peace. Maybe we are the ones who need to rent and watch at home??? Ya think...

My two kids..??!!!

This is a recent photo of my 2 kids..??!! I guess by now my dog is considered one of my children. He might as well be.... I feed him, bathe him, put him to bed, get him out of bed, you know, all the stuff you do for your kids. I am just not sure that I knew that I would have to take care of him as much as a child. But, I have definately figured out that he is a pain in the ass sometimes. He is cute and all, but oh my gosh, I didn't know he would need so much care....
We go somewhere, we have to make sure we get back before he needs to go to the bathroom, we have to find a babysitter if we go away for the weekend and can't take him. We need to take a potty break if he travels with us. We can't leave him in the car if it is even close too hot out. I have been so spoiled with my daughter at the age of 7 now, that I feel like my puppy is more work than her.
Yes, I love him, yes, I think he is a pain, yes, I probably would miss him if he left.......I am so mean. Anybody want to adopt a shih-tzu????:-) Just kidding......
