Happy Birthday Kristin

Top Rated Movies of Ten Years

Mark will only watch movies that rate in the 70's on rottentomatoes.com. If I ask him to watch something and it has a low rating, I always regret it.
I was looking at the site and they've given the top rated movies of the past ten years. We're always looking for a decent movie so I wrote them down. I didn't include the number one pick because I had already watched all of those. Here's the list:

98 Truman, Shakespeare in Love
99 The Iron Giant, The Insider
00 Traffic, Best in Show, You Can Count on Me
01 In the Bedroom, Memento
02 Spirited Away, Bowling for Columbine
03 Spellbound, The Fog War, Capturing the Friedmans
04 Sideways, Hero, Maria Full of Grace
05 Murderball, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were Rabbit, Good Night & Good Luck,
Enron; The Smartest Guy in the Room
06 Pan's Labyrinth, Casino Royal,
07 Once, The Bands Visit

Happy 17th Birthday Jeffery

This is the wrapped gift. Jeffery's teammates presented him with this club when he won the state championship. Mark and I had a case built for it.

Jeffery has never liked cake and ice cream for his birthday. We always have to come up with something different. One year it was cookies that spelled out Happy Birthday, Jeffery, we've had brownies, we've had strawberry gooey stuff and this year it was waffles. We celebrated first thing in the morning. Of course, the house was decorated, a tradition that Mark loves and a few birthday gifts. Its hard to see him grow so fast. I'm so happy to think of the many happy memories we have shared. And if I'm lucky he'll never leave the house, like Dave's kids!

11 Days with Davy and Family

Pin trading. I had never seen anything like this. Serious business!

So glad Josh and Awburn came to Utah.

Eleven days might sound like a long time but time flies when you're having fun.
Some of my favorite moments of the visit...
Watched Jacob play All Star Baseball
A two hour manicure/pedicure with Jen on her birthday
Watching Jeffery play golf in Prescott-even with the "8
Toasted Marshmallows Utah
Hanging out with Awburn
Nose waxing/Ear Coning
Getting to know Becky and Von better
Josh's birthday party for me, the theme, Domino show down
Talking with Dave on our drives and surviving "the storm"
Bowling, swimming, tennis and shopping in Scottsdale
Jeffery for four days, happy and relaxed.

Amazed that we will be driving OVER the dam soon!

WHAT!? I have to CLOSE that double!?

Outside of our little Casita in Scottsdale. Neat place.
