Random Bits

So I think we are almost done being sick in our house. David is totally better, I feel totally better though I still have a stuffy nose, and Sydney I think has improved just a little bit today. She's still sick with what she had when we went to the doctors, but I think she's over the fever she got right after we went to the doctor. Let's hope so. With all the breathing treatments I've had to do with the kids I haven't been able to go on my walk since last Thursday. And I can't believe I'm not going crazy yet. Must be a blessing! I am sad though because the weather has been warming up a little and snow is melting, sun is shining, and I really want to take my kids outside! Hopefully I will be able to tomorrow. It all depends on the two 20 minute breathing treatments that are every 4 hours and nap times.


On Saturday night Hilary and I went to see "Australia" in the cheap seats. Man am I glad we did. That movie was soooo awesome! We both LOVED it! It is a long movie(about 2 hrs 40 min I think), but my own opinion about movies is, if it's good, who cares how long it is? I don't. I have to say this movie was totally snubbed by Oscar. It should have definitely received a best cinematography nod. It was beautiful. It was also funny, happy, exciting, sad. Also beautiful music, great acting by the lead roles Nicole Kidman(one of my favorite actresses), Hugh Jackman, and the little boy-Brandon Walters. It was AWESOME on a big screen. I hope I'm not building it up too much. I tend to do that when I see a movie I love. But it was so good! haha. Anyway, go rent it(or find it in a cheap theater like me!) and find out for yourselves. If you already saw it- what did you think?

Note: There is a little nudity on Nicole's part so when a scene like that is obviously imminent just close your eyes if you're not ok with that. It's not more than a few moments before the scene changes. I'm glad Scott can see it now with my editing skills. =)


Some of David's favorite phrases:
-"Sydney take it!"
-"Deener(dinner) so good!"
-"Story time uh yeah!" He'll say "uh yeah" basically at the end of anything we're about to do that he is excited about.
-He doesn't say "I see the bear(or whatever it is)" he says, "bear I see it!"
-"Help you!" he says this when he wants to help me make his sandwich
-"Tractor uh scary!" again he says this with MANY things, not just tractor. I don't know why he's so obsessed with saying everything is scary.
I'm sure there are more but my brain can't think anymore. More to come later!

Rexburg Temple
On Sunday I really needed to get out of the house so we went for a little family drive up to the temple. David and I got out and walked around for a few minutes and then we went down a back road that has a nice view of the temple. That's where this picture is from. Though there was a huge snow pile on the side of the road so I wasn't sure we'd be able to see the temple over it. But we found a good spot. Anyway, I just thought the temple was so pretty with the snow and mountains behind it.

I love the stuff David says! I bet they're even funnier in real life. I love how he says "boobies" for blueberries. That must have been hilarious the first time he said it. It reminds me of my friend who's kid kept talking about the bridge but what really came out sounded like "b****" (witch with a "b"). It took her 10 minutes to figure out what he really meant. We laughed for a long, long time over that.

Anyway, I'm glad you all are starting to feel better!

I have been wanting to see Austrailia for awhile but then things got so busy and I kindof forgot. But now I want to see it again after your review. I will let you know what I think. Seeing the temple picture makes me glad that I am not in Rexburg anymore. We have enjoyed 65 to 70 degree weather for the past month and a half. However, I am afraid that the grass is not always greener on the other side. I heard that the summers here are a killer and I am going to be 9 months pregnant- yipee. I am really looking forward to it- can you tell?

So I can't access my facebook because I'm on campus but I got your message... Was Scott serious that the movie was R? I'm pretty certain that it's not....
