Movie Reviews

This past week I had the chance to see two movies that had come out on DVD. the first one was UP if you haven't seen this show I recommend it as its great for the kids but also great for us adults as well. Ewwwwww did I just consider myself an adult? Ok its great for Kids and you adults out there to

.
this movie was fun to watch , it had excitement adventure Romance and even intrigue. I wont give it all away but it starts out with a young boy that follows his adventurous hero and through the years finds himself the a better adventure of his life. he turns to an old man who is devoted to his wife and they share a common connection as she also had the same hero as the her husband . The couple grow old together working on a there goal to get to the area where there hero is. After his wife passes away with out ever making it to that place her husband finds its necessary to get underway and full fill he and his wife's dream. this movie was also a tear jerk er for me. The husband and wife were truly a team and he made sure that her dreams were met with everything in his power. I recommend this move. Two thumbs up.



For the next movie and have to say its truly a movie that I fell in love with. I am a big fan of this franchise and I think I know quite about about it because I grew up with it I am talking about Star Trek. The brand new Star Trek movie has now come out on DVD This movie is very different from all the others that have been shown. The show is to depict Captain Kirk and Mr Spock in their academy days and the starting of there adventures. I have known the story since I was a kid. My first model I made was out of cardboard and tape. So the first thing I noticed about this move was that the ship itself was not right. then there was this thing with Spock and Uhura and they were in love and kissing on the ship and I was thinking what the heck is going on here. then as the show progressed it was reviled that this was an alternate reality. A huge Romulan ship comes back in time and changes everything. The reason they did this is because, well lets face it. Star Trek is 40 + years old. Things were starting to get old. Stories were not as good as they used to be. The movies that were coming out were good but they were losing ground. In order for Star Trek to survive there needed to be a reboot, a fresh restart. Now what ever they do, what ever story they put out its going to be ok. Its an alternate reality, plus its Star Trek, you can do anything in the Star Trek universe.

So these are the movies I watched this week. Thank you to my sister Ann for letting me borrow UP and most thank you to my wife for getting me the Star Trek movies. thank you dear, love you.

Car accident the other night.

So two nights ago Heather and I were at home sitting nice and comfortably watching TV. The time was coming up on 6:30 pm and the neighbor hood had quieted down and just like in the movies it was quiet, too quiet. As we sat there,suddenly we heard a loud bang. It startled us and we raced out to see what happened. As I was coming to the door Heather beat me to the door and yelled back to me "call 911"!!!!!!!!!
I grabbed the phone and dialed. The police and the fire department made it to the seen. What happened was a green Durango came down 16th street headed west. A sliver SUV was crossing 16th street on Oakley ave. As the silver car crossed the green car hit the silver car in the rear an made the silver car rotate a full 180 degree turn. Meanwhile the green Durango kept driving forward but plowed head on into the power pole and snapped it in half. I remember hearing a loud boom and several electric shocks.

No one was killed and there were no serious injuries,but all went to the hospital to be checked out.

Later that night city work crews came and replaced the pole.+-+

Got to get back to bloggin.

Well as you can see its been a few months since I have been here. During that time we have endured blistering heat and then cool breezes. I haven't blogged in a while because I have been on Face book and got so interested in looking at what other people are doing and what they deal with. It has been very interesting and I do like face booking. I have missed blogging however. It is a great way to release any frustrations or just getting some thoughts out there for anyone to see.

I have something for you to get started. My neighbor has two cute little girls that love to come to our house and hang out with us on the swing. Lilly and Kayle. Kayle is almost 4 and Lilly is almost 3. They love to come over and play with the bubbles also.

Just recently we discovered that Lilly has gotten into politics. She is able to give her political opinion about our president. here is what she said. Enjoy all.

That is the beginning of the chorus of the Idaho State Song. So as of the last post the weather was awesome, It was warm and sunny and awesome. I would like to emphasize of this date 4/15/2009. It was supposed to be warm and sunny and awesome. Here is what I woke up to. Someday, maybe someday We will have spring. Or it just might jump into the scalding hot muggy of summer, Because you never know when your in Idaho, Winning her way to fame.

Spring may have sprung


Ok, in my last post I was pretty discouraged. It just felt as though we were going to be in the next ice age and it was never going to let up. As you saw the picture in my last post the tree was pretty cold and had some ice on it. I looked out my window today and found hope. As you can see here. The Icecicles have been replaced by some new buds soon to be blossems and then leaves. it is really nice to see a blue sky with a small breeze . Add General Conference weekend in and you have an awesome weekend. General Conference was wonderfull, as it always is.

But there was a plus in this weekend as well. Yesterday was Heathers' and mine wedding anniverary. We have been married 14 years. Its had its up and downs but I wouldn't change it now.

Thank you for reading.
