Hey it's me again,
So yesterday I was planning on putting a skit that me and Joy are working on. Yet it didn't happen, we ran into some difficulties along the way.
1) Fixing the kinks, in the play. I wrote it in like an hour, so there are kinks that needed to be fixed.
2) Getting our parts just right, having the right reactions to what were saying.
3) One of the most difficult, was keeping a straight face. For those of you who know me, it is practically impossible for me to win the "no smiling" game. So just think how it is for me trying to act? :)
So there were some more difficulties, but I just was going to let you know, that hopefully I will have it up in this next week. Sorry,
But for now here is another blog that you should check out:
Room for More is a blog written by some friends of ours. It's a great blog, and always a good read. It's our good friends T-bird, Rye-bread, and Sunshine's families blog. So if you've read Two Twinkies in a Ding Dong World, or Bursts of Sunshine's blog. You know that their family has to have a good one too. And it's awesome. Go ahead and check it out...
That's all for now,

Another Movie Monday...
Hi, it's me again. Ready to post another movie for you guys. This weeks movie is "Flywheel". You know the drill, here's the B&N summary:
Weary of the masks he wears and the lies he tells, an unscrupulous used car salesman resolves to win back his wife, become a better role model for his son, and stop ripping off his unsuspecting customers in the inspirational feature directorial debut of Facing the Giants director Alex Kendrick. Jay Austin (Kendrik) is the kind of used car salesman that customers fears most - dishonest, manipulative, and constantly smiling as he sends another lemon driving off the lot. Eventually Austin's deceptive ways catch up with him, prompting him to take serious stock of his life from the ground up. Now, as Austin begins working to get his classic convertible back on the road, the repairs he performs under the hood begin to reflect the personal transformation that he is going through at home and at work. Determined to turn his life around for good this time, Austin soon finds out just how good things can get when he begins applying the philosophy of Jesus Christ to everyday life.
It's a great movie and if you haven't seen it yet. You totally should check it out.
Here's the trailer as well,
As the trailer states: Before "Facing The Giants", Sherwood Pictures had a $20,000 budget, and a movie called "Flywheel". So you may notice it's not as good of quality as the others, but still a great movie. With a great message.
That's all for now,

Outgoing Grace.....
Yup, this post is also about Grace. Grace is (how do I put this in a couple words) totally outgoing to complete strangers. So me, and my Mom were going to run some errands the other day, and Grace was out on the porch waiting for us. Before we go any further, Grace is totally addicted to this spray water bottle. She will spray anyone, anything, anywhere. Whether its us walking around the house, or little cracks in the sidewalk. It has to be sprayed. So Grace was out on the porch waiting for us, and I walk out the door and hear this lady, walking by say "No, I don't want sprayed." And then walked off. Ummm Ok?
We found out later, that Grace had a conversation with the lady somwhat like this.
(Lady that we don't even know walking down the sidewalk passing by our house.)
Grace: Do you want me to spray you?
Lady: Excuse Me?
Grace: Do you want me to spray you?
Lady: I'm sorry, what?
Grace: Do you want sprayed?
Lady: No, I don't want sprayed.
Oh Grace, you are funny....
Well, anyway that was a little embarrasing, but funny.
That's all for now,

Toddler Mischief.....
Hey,
It's me again, just a little toddler mischief yesterday that I wanted to share with you. My three year old sister, just got her bangs cut the other day by Mom. So anyway, that night, Me, my sister Anne, and Tallguy were watching a movie. And of course Grace was still as hyper as ever bouncing around. I told her if she would just lay down she would fall asleep. So when I went back to the living room, I saw her laying on the couch. Yes! Her hyperness was gone. She was getting tired. So Anne took her up stairs and the next morning we saw why she was just laying down being all good yesterday night. :) She had gone behind the couch that night, and took some scissors with her. She must of wanted to be like Mom, and cut her bangs. So she did. And this is what she looks like now:

Movie Monday (3rd edition)
Hey again,
Sorry it has been so long since my last post. But I'm ready to start again, and start off this week with another Movie Monday segment. Yup, it's been awhile. So today's movie is "Grace Card". This is one of the best movie I've ever seen.
So here is the Barnes and Noble summary:
This earnest evangelical drama draws inspiration from the Bible verse Hebrews 4:16 "We will find grace to help us when we need it" in its tale of a police officer named Bill "Mac" McDonald Micahel Joiner whose life is shattered and his faith severely challenged when he loses his son in a tragic accident. Eighteen years of rage and hostility ensue, marked by rapidly crumbling relationships with his family members and strained relationships on the force. Events reach a fever pitch, however, when Mac gets partnered up in the squad car with Sam Wright Michael Higgenbottom, an African-American ordained minister-turned-cop with a loving and supportive family. Despite the many obstacles standing in the way, the men gradually work toward overcoming their differences and helping one another.
And here is the preview for the movie:
So I really loved this movie. Sorry again, for not posting forever.
