The best kiss award

MTV does the annual movie awards and one of the categories is best kiss. This year, Kristen Pattinson,...oops Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson won. I guess part of the deal is the winners kiss. This year Robert and Kristen got sooooo close and then she turned to the audience and said, thank you so much for the award. It was awesome. I heard on of the interviewers say, that was the hottest non-kiss they have ever seen. It is true it was. I love Twilight!

When I looked on Youtube to see the hot non-kiss again, I also found the winners from 2006, the adoreable couple from "The Notebook" movie, which I loved, and I watched their acceptance kiss. Holey Moley! That was awesome. I rented the notebook again through netflix because it had been a while since I had seen it. Then I added the music, "She will be loved," to my music selections on my blog. Wheew...is it getting warm in here?

Robert is coming home tomorrow

My brother Robert is coming home tomorrow from his mission. I can't wait, I can't believe two years has gone by, I can't believe it has been so long since I have seen him. Just typing this makes me a little teary-eyed. This morning I was realizing that 24 hours from then I would be traveling to Ontario Airport to welcome home my brother. I began to imagine what it would be like...in my mind I can hear my mom's voice saying, "There he is," and crying. I can imagine him coming down the escelator to the baggage area...just now as I am typing this and reliving my imagined reunion with my brother, I am crying again. Wow, I though it was because I was tired this morning but maybe not. Maybe I am just emotional about my brother.

I am so proud of him. I have missed him.

School is starting

Well school is just around the corner. Madelyn is going to be in 5th grade and Spencer will be in 1st grade. Today I did something that reconfirmed in my mind that Madelyn is growing up. I let her ride her scooter down to the school to see who her teacher would be this year. Today was the day that the lists came out. I was feel really tired so I thought about it and decided Madelyn was big enough to ride there on her own. Oh My Gosh! Either I am getting more slack in my rules or she is getting older. I think the last.

Well I purchased all the supplies for the kids last week so we are set to go there. The clothes things...well we will be fine for starting school. I probably need to get each of them a few more pairs of shorts and shirts but, I will keep watching for sales. I absolutely refuse to purchase jeans in August. It goes agains all of my principles. I will wait for a month or two until all of these jeans are on clearance. Plus, it is just too hot to think about pants right now.

The kids got new lunch boxes. Madelyn picked out a Hello Kitty lunch box and Spencer picked out a Star Wars the Clone Wars lunch box. I usually get the kids new backpacks for the start of school but Spencer got a new backpack near the end of school last year because his other one wore out. Madelyn as well. I spent a lot of money on Madelyn's 2nd backpack because she is very hard on her backpacks and I wanted a really good quality one for her. No new backpacks for either of them this year. I am a little sad about that because a traditional first day of school picture is of the new backpack.

Teachers. Madelyn got Mr. Watanabe as a teacher and Spencer got Mrs. Connally. Madelyn had Mrs. Connally for first grade too.

So there it is. School is starting Monday the 31st of August. I can not ever remember school starting this early.
