The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian



I took my kids to see "The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian" today. This was their 2nd full week out of school & we really haven't done anything fun yet. Oh yea, we did finally get the pool all cleaned & refilled, ready for use this week. But anyway, this movie is really good. It's not as fairytale-ish as the 1st one, but very adventurous. I highly recommend it for anyone with (or without) children. It's not scarey at all, so any age group would enjoy it. Of course we had our popcorn, soda & candy. That's the best part, ya know! Today we treated ourselves to a special treat of Dippin' Dots on the way out. YUMMY!!! A very good day spent with the kids!!! I took a pic of the kids with my phone today since I didn't have my camera with me. Not the best quality, but at least it's a memory.

Bret Got Her Braces Off!!

BRET--BEFORE JULY 2005
BRET--AFTER JUNE 2008



My daughter Bret got her braces off yesterday. After 3 loooooong years of those things, FINALLY they're gone!!! YIPEE!!!! She was supposed to get them off in January, but had to wear them a few months longer. She's happier than I am about it, though. No more monthly visits to the Orthodontist to get those things tightened & no more whining about her teeth hurting. It paid off though, and she has done such a great job of taking care of her teeth while she had them on. She brushed twice a day, sometimes more & flossed every single day. I'm very proud of her. Now she gets rewarded with Mom buying her some Crest Whitening Strips & such a beautiful smile.

The 1st pic is from the day she got her braces on in July 2005. The 2nd pic is from yesterday after she got them off. WOW, look how much she's changed!!! My baby girl just turned 14 in May. OMG, she's gonna be driving soon & even worse.....DATING!!!!! UGG!!
