The Dark Knight

Brook and I were one of those super fans this weekend that waited in line to see The Dark Knight!!! We both loved the movie Batman Begins and we couldn't wait to see this one. We arrived at the theater 1 hr. 30 min. before the movie began and there was still about 20 people in line ahead of us. The theater filled up so fast and everyone was so excited!!

The movie (and the joker) were awesome.....but I won't say anything about it to spoil it for the rest of you. All I can say is that you won't be disappointed!!

New Bikes

Melissa's new bike

Cameron's new bike

Melissa and Cameron have needed new bikes for a long time. It even came to the point that Melissa wouldn't ride her bike any more with her friends because it was too small. So we finally got them new bikes. They are both very happy!! Now Cameron doesn't have to pedal super fast just to keep up with everyone else. :)

Handy Man-Woman

OK, so we bought a Hanna Montana bike for Melissa and it was a lemon. The first day she rode it the chain fell off. Then the next day and the next day. (we did take it back) Sad to say I had never put a chain back on a bike before but to see my daughter in tears, I had to try. So after a lot of practice over 3 days, I became a little more confident in myself. The funny thing is now when their friends need help with their chains, they bring them to me. I am so not a girl that likes having grease on her fingers, but how can I let my kids down......the adventures of being a mom! :)

Fireworks

Wow......I haven't been on my blog for a long time. We've been out of town for over a week and just got back last night. I wanted to put a fun video clip of the Idaho Falls fireworks from the 4th. They were so awesome!!! So I know everyone is past thinking about the 4th so bear with me. :)

Fixing up our trailer

Now that we have motorbikes, 4-wheelers, etc. we've needed a trailer to put them on. We were about ready to go buy a new one when Brook found a used one on KSL. So...we got it for alomost half the price, but then we had to put some work into it. Brook took the old plywood off and we painted it. Okay-- so Brook did most of the painting, but I did help. My finger is still numb from holding down on the spray can so I can only imagine how Brook's fingers feel. Then we bought some wood, stained it and put it on. It's amazing how good it looks. You almost don't want to use it now because then it will get all scratched up, but o-well. Brook did an amazing job!!!!
