Take Me Out to the Ballgame

On such a beautiful Sunday afternoon, Andrew had a wonderful idea for us to take in a RoughRiders game!
Crazy Carl was in attendance...
with his questionable choice of eyewear. (Pretty sure those glasses said "princess" on the side!)
Of course a plastic ballcap completed the outfit grandly.

Jonathan and Andrew had to sit together away from all the girl-talk because apparently some people actually go to the ballfield to watch a game???
We were good fans who sang every song they played on the loud speaker, did the wave, and even the YMCA.
Deuce performed a rendition of Wipeout...on Andrew's head!

It all added up to a pretty great afternoon, oh and the RoughRiders won!! Maybe we're good luck! ;)

Jacquelyn and Andrew
Jordan and Jim
Jennifer and Jonathan
The whole Crazy Cuff crew...

Who'll probably never go anywhere in public with the young marrieds again!

Next time we'll try to plan ahead a little better so that everyone can go!!



Oh, and here's the blog link for our friend's that have the very preemie baby that we've added to the prayer request list. They try to update every week on Ele's condition and what their friends and family can specifically pray about. I'm sure if you'll check it out you'll see what an unbelievably amazing family they are!

that just happened

and then notice Jim (he's dancing, not pretending to be Mrs. Bates off Psycho-- anyone else hearing the horror movie music??? haha)

jennifer and jordan made some extraordinary domino art

and then,

no, Jim did not do that.

I am sure thats what you were all thinking, but no. J & J celebrated the glorious destruction of their creation. then we played mexican train...

what was the score again??? LOL.

topic # 6

HEY HEY EVERYONE!!!
SORRY I SKIPPED OUT ON A NEW TOPIC LAST WEEK, I'M HORRIBLE. PLEASE DONT FIRE ME. ANYWAY, THE TOPIC FOR THIS WEEK IS:....................... (is the suspense killing you???)
WHAT DID YOU & YOUR HUBBY WANT TO BE "WHEN YOU GROW UP" -- YEAH, THINK WAY BACK TO THE GOOD OLD CHILDHOOD DAYS, AND SHARE WITH US ALL ABOUT WHAT JOB YOU THOUGHT YOU WOULD HAVE AND WHAT YOUR GOALS/DREAMS WERE!

HOPE EVERYONE HAD A BLESSED WEEKEND, CANT WAIT TO HEAR FROM Y'ALL!

J & J's Books & Movies

Books & Movies...2 things I LOOOVE!! I'm slightly obsessed with both. Our computer room is soley dedicated to my book shelves and our hundreds of movies collection. For the record, Jim is not a big reader. I've gone so far as to get him books about hunting or how to process your own deer meet in hopes that he would read them....no go! Oh well...love him anyway.

At the moment I pretty much read teen or young adult books, because my kids will tell me ones they like. I'm in that phase right now. I like the cheesy teen love stories. Lol! I of course love the Twilight series...yes I am one of the obsessed ones (and I'm not ashamed)!! I love the City of Bones series (Mortal Instruments series) and Kristin Cashore's books. I also love classics such as Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen books, the Bronte sisters books, Chaucer, The Count of Monte Cristo (the movie is good but the book is better!), etc. I have this problem where when I start a book I have to finish it. So I will often stay up all night sometimes because I picked up a book in the afternoon and can't put it down.

Now for movies...I have too many to choose favorites. Jim's favs are the Harry Potter series. We fall to sleep every night with a Harry on!! We like all types of movies really: action, comedy, drama, etc. I like romantic comedies, but it depends on the movie for Jim.

My favorite movie since I was like 5 has and always will be The Little Mermaid. I know every word to those songs. I'll serenade you some time if you would like! :-) Jacquelyn...I saw your Hangover picture. We love that movie...I laugh so hard I cry every time I watch it. Let me think of some other movies I love...ummm...Pride & Prejudice, The Gladiator, The Patriot, The Holiday, Twilight/New Moon, Pirates of the Caribbean I,II,III (love that wierd Johnny Depp!), Wedding Crashers, Love Comes Softly series (sweet movies!), TROY, 300, Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves (Kevin Costner one), The Parent Trap (original and lohan one), Star Wars (all 6 of them! the original 3 are the best though), Ever After, Disney movies....I could go on forever!

Ok I think you get the picture. I love to read and watch. I go to movies all the time. If anyone would like to go with me, just let me know what you want to see and we'll make a date!

andrew + jacquelyn -- favorite movies

luckily, we generally agree on movies. although, i have to admit... i've never been much of a chick flick kind of girl, but since being married ... i've been more into girlie movies. weird? i really like more action/suspense/comedy/natural disaster type of movies. my all time favorites are (in random order, depending on my mood) 1) the thomas crown affair 2) the italian job  3) the hangover -- okay, it kinda looks like i just like movies with "the" in the title, but i promise thats not why i picked them. other movies i always love to watch: simon birch, stomp the yard, wedding crashers, twister, blades of glory, the wedding date, sex and the city (love love it) and last but never least the godfather (1-3, but 2 is my fav) i dont do scary movies.... ever.

andrew again, is really more into war movies than anything else... which works, because i am so okay with watching the patriot, braveheart, and other historicalish movies (i love the costumes) -- he dabbles with sci-fy/intelligence movies... which i dont get and ask too many questions, so usually we dont watch those together (movies like i-robot and jumper)  Andrew also likes sports movies (does that shock anyone??) usually football, but of course, he's a fan of lots of sports. he(we) likes -remember the titans, the blind side, we are marshall, and rudy, but some of his all-time favorites are (again, random order) 1) gods and generals  2) a river runs through it  3) master and commander 4) we were soldiers 

we are currently watching the HBO series "The Pacific" -- so far, its wonderful.

the first movie we saw together on a date was : The Pursuit of Happiness
