Reply if you read this. Not everyone checks it very often.

"Courageous" the Movie. Very Worth theTime

Dad and I went to see this yesterday. It was quite well done and plenty of action! It is a religious movie but plenty of physical conflict that the guys will like.

This is not a kids movie so we will tend the kids while you go. It's playing at the Valley Fair for a buck during the day and $1.50 in the evenings. We've been waiting 3 months for it to get to the dollar movies. Or if you have the kids covered, we'd enjoy seeing it again. Just call us.

For show times type in Cinemark 9 Valley Fair. It really is a must see family drama that extols the profound importance of Dads in their kids lives!!! It is worth seeing on the big screen! Don't miss out!

Book

I bought the book "Crossed" which is the sequel to "Matched". Let me know if you are interested in reading it. (I don't have the first book.) I am mostly done with it. It is not as good as the first, but it is a good lead in for the third book that should come out in a year.

17 Miracles is a MUST See!

17 Miracles

We've got the DVD. It is a must see for everyone. You can "check it out" from your favorite family library! Available NOW!

It is very well done!

17 Miracles depicts the story of the Willie & Martin Handcart Companies, two Mormon pioneer groups making the trek on foot from Iowa to Utah in 1856 and who encountered trials, tragedies, and small miracles along the way. It is directed by T.C. Christensen, director of photography for The Work & The Glory series, and co-director of Emma Smith: My Story.

Love Ya ALL!

Books to read

A series that I read and liked is called "Gregor the Overlander" by Suzanne Collins. There are five books, they are available at the library in both book and CD. This is the author that wrote "The Hunger Games". This was the first series that she wrote and I like the storyline better then I did "The Hunger Games". They are about a boy who lives in New York. He falls in a vent at his apartment and discovers a whole city of people who living underground along with giant bats, rats, spiders, and cockroaches.

It was good to see you all on Saturday.
