Movie Review...

COOL.

Yeah...I LOVE Sci-Fi and this one was quite entertaining.  It did lack some holes in the story (why are they here anyway?).  But it was very well done and kept my attention.  The characters were pretty and the bad guys were scary.  #6 was my favorite and I do hope there will be a sequel.

Valentines Day

This year I was not as on top of things as I usually am.  Jeremy had the day off and I had to work.  We had a "mis-communication" on that one.  So, I worked, while he relaxed all day.  I usually get everyone cute little gifts and then Jeremy and I have a romantic dinner date.  This year, we decided to go out and have a FHE Valentines Night!  We wanted to go to Souplantation, but Gavin and Cali had too much homework.  So, we opted for McDonalds (yuck)-and snuck our food into the movie theater and saw THIS adorable movie!  It was really cute, fun and perfect for our Valentines Day!  I actually LOVED that we had this night together!  I LOVE my family so much!

Grandma the White

 Remerse Banks Wilson

1922-2011

 On Saturday (2/12), we said goodbye to the White Grandma.  She died a week prior from complications while suffering from pneumonia.  She lived an adventurous and wonderful life and passed with her children at her side. We were so lucky to have her in our lives!  Gavin lovingly named her the "White Grandma", because of her white hair when he was little.  She lived with Nana & Papa for 6-7 years and we got to spend so much time with her.  I'm so grateful for that.  Now she is in heaven with her sweetheart and all of her loved ones who have gone on before.  I know she is having a wonderful party and loving all the attention!
I will miss sharing Pepsi with her!

The funeral service took place in Bakersfield and most of her grandsons served as pallbearers.

Her casket was all pretty and pink.  I'll bet she liked that!  It was a gorgeous day and we had the service outside under a gazebo.  She loved being outside and sitting in the sunshine!

The kids sang "Families Can Be Together Forever".  Gavin had a really hard time and Cali was so cute, she reached over and held his hand until the song was over.  It was really sweet.

I thought this was cute....Cali, Cordy and Ady each took a white rose and laid it on top of the casket.  When the workers lowered the casket to place it in the wall, they took off all the flowers except those 3.  It was a very special goodbye.
We LOVE you Grandma and miss you and will be so happy when we see you again.

38 - Part II

 Thursday Feb. 10th - Jeremy's Actual Birthday!  We made sure to put on our happy faces again and make it a special night for Daddy.  When he came home from work, we showered him with gifts.  He got a surf dvd from Brody & Luke; a book from Gavin; a cool Kelly Slater shirt from Cali; and a new GPS from me.  He really liked all his presents and then we headed to our favorite family restaurant-Islands!

Happy Birthday to the best Daddy & Husband in the whole Universe!  We Love You!

38 - Part I

Jeremy is officially 38 years old!  When these pictures were taken though, he was not!  The last week and a half for us has been very...what's the word?...Challenging.  On Saturday February 5th, we found out that our sweet "Grandma the White" had passed away.  This was a total shock.  The next day was Superbowl Sunday, and we had planned a little birthday party for Jeremy, because I was supposed to leave on his birthday for Utah (to see Colby home from his mission).

So, we put on our happy faces and absorbed all the family and friend love we could get and had a party!

It was a great night w/ football, martial arts movies, homemade cards and cake and ice cream!
