Teething, Titanic, Twilight and all things important

Hyrum's been getting in those last teeth and it's getting to everyone. Lately, he's been biting anything he sees. He wants to bite on everything. Unfortunately, Tipton was a victim of his latest biting desire. Hyrum bit him on the bottom! Liam runs to me in a rush to hurry, Tipton is screaming and crying, and Hyrum just looks at me as sweet and innocent as can be and says, "Momma." I tried not laugh so I had to cover my mouth while I tried to comfort Tipton. Thankfully his left cheek is still in tact and Hyrum's teeth finally broke through.


The Titanic. Who ever knew it would leave such an impression on a child. Tipton is obsessed. He LOVES it "200 times," he says. It all started a little over a month ago (almost 2) when we were reading the Magic Tree House Series and we read Tonight on the Titanic. It was all he could talk about. When we finished reading we looked up some things on the Internet about the ship. From there he kept asking Jarom to rent the movie. Finally, we received it in the mail and Tipton couldn't wait to watch it. Being more of a love story I was sure he would be bored and not like it. Tipton says, "That is my first favorite movie ever!" He loved it. I have the soundtrack and he ask that we listen to it everyday. When he plays outside, with his toys, or draws it's all about the Titanic and the iceberg. He talks about how there weren't enough "lifey-boats" and that the bottom of the ship weren't important people. The entire subject fascinates him. I've never seen anything like it.


To the faithful Twilight fans...I have finally seen the movie. It was slow yet somehow so intense I had to watch it a second time. I just wanted them to kiss already!!!! I really did like it and kind of glad I didn't read the book first. There was no room for disappointment. Instead, the need to know all the details and think about the second film. Oh, did I mention that Edward is HOT! His character just sucked me in. I did hear some disappointment in choosing Robert Patterson as the actor but I'm very pleased, oh yeah. I have to add that I also liked the soundtrack. I guess now I'll read the books.

Another movie that I've recently watched that I love was The Other Boleyn Girl. Excellent.

Back in junior high, years before the movie came out I was obsessed with Titanic too. I even joined the Titanic Historical Society, funny huh! I have a certificate and everything. Maybe you should sign Tipton up too :)
Makayla is currently obsessed with the Magic Tree House Books as well and so you know, there is a non-fiction reference guide to that book as well, he would probably LOVE it!

I Love Twilight, along with half of America, the books are way better, but I did like the movie....enjoy.!!!

I didn't read the books either before I saw the movie. I think it was better that way. Since, I have read the last 3, you've gotta read them. I loved the 3rd one the most. I can not wait till the second movie comes out in November. Have you watched the movie trailers on youtube? Russell will NOT watch The Other Boylen Sister, he will not let me rent it. I wanted to though!
