Movie Monday-The Life Aquatic

Toady's movie Monday is in my top 3 favorite films, it is "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou."
This is most likely one of the most well written comedies of this decade. It is very quirky ( as are most Wes Anderson films, the man is a genius) and full of classic on liners.
However I must say this film does take a specific kind of humor. You either LOVE it or HATE it. Some may be easily offended as well.

PLOT: When his partner is killed by the mysterious and possibly nonexistent Jaguar Shark, Steve Zissou and his Team Zissou crew set off for an expedition to hunt down the creature. Along with his estranged wife, a beautiful journalist and a co-pilot who could possibly be Zissou's son, the crew set off for one wild expedition.
ONE LINER: I suppose my favorite one liner from the film would be this:
"Esteban! He ate him he ate him, Esteban was eaten by a shark!"
I have another but it may not be appropriate.
RATING: This film is rated R due to it's "F bombs" and a random shot of a weird lady's boob (in a non sexual way).

Without his sidekicks (Stiller and Vaughn) Owen Wilson is quite capable of some great acting! This goes foe all the Wes Anderson films he is in.
This would be Bill Murry at his best!

Halloween 2008!

We had a fun Halloween this year! Linus' cute cousin Natalia came up from AZ. for her birthday, which is on Halloween. So the kids all had a fun Halloween/ birthday party. It was fun to have all the cousins together.
We also attended our ward party earlier in the week. Linus was freaked out by a lot of the costumes.
As for trick or treating Linus still does not quite get it yet plus he is so picky that he won't even eat the candy so he could really care less about free candy. He LOVED handing it out though, when the door bell would ring he would get all excited and jump up and down, so that was his favorite part.


Linus the skunk and me the "rebellious pregnant teenager" headed to the ward party. Cute lil' stinker.
Isn't he the cutest little skunk.

Trick or Treating!
He thought he would do his own thing, he just like walking around in his costume.
Here is the 3 of us out trick or treating.

Linus got tagged

Linus has been tagged by his cute cousins.

5 things you did or didn't know about Linus:


1. He knows and recognizes all his letters. He calls the "etters" but he is always pointing out letters and saying them.

2. His favorite shape is a triangle, whenever he sees one he screams,"tiangle!"

3. He has 11 cousins, and he loves to play with them.

4. He loves to go shopping! He just likes sitting in his stroller and watching everything.

5. He is a techie, he loves computers and he also loves to turn on the T.V. The other day we had just got home and I ran upstairs for a second and when I came down he had turned on the T.V. and was watching Sponge bob. His new thing is, he turns on the T.V. and says,"Ta-Da!"


We were cleaning out a storage room and Linus found this old key board and made it his new toy. He kept on bringing it to me and saying,"check it out check it out!"
Linus tags anyone who wants.

Kelly's Movie Monday!

I have decided that since Danny and I are HUGE movie buffs I would start "Movie Monday's." This is where I will share one of my favorite movies. So I will start with a favorite of Danny and I.


Pee-Wee's big adventure! Eccentric man-child Pee-Wee Herman embarks on the big adventure of his life across the US mainland, as he sets out to find his beloved bike, when it is stolen in broad daylight.
I am told that I had this film memorized at the age of 3 and mom had to hide it from me, see I was a Burton fan from the start! Later on when Danny and I were first dating he said that this was one of his favorite movies, at that moment I knew we were meant to be together. We watch this about once every 3 months or so.
This movie is packed with one liners and is so hysterical I don't know how anyone could not like it. Pee-Wee Herman (a.k.a. Paul Rubens) is such a classic character that every comedian should take some advice from this guy!This part in the film is so great! This was always my favorite part as a kid because Pee-Wee had such a cool house.
"DOTTY!" This is Dotty and she is in love with Pee-Wee, but he is so dumb he does not notice.
"Tell em' Large Marge sent ya" Possibly the most famous line in the film and when you see it you will know why.
"Boo ha ha"
I hope you will all check out this classic that brought two people together to make cute baby Linus'. Let me know what you think!

Cookie Cutters

You may find it hard to believe that my sweet shy Linus is VERY naughty when he gets his haircut (as you may have seen in previous posts). So I really avoid taking him since I have to hold him down and it seems to take the girl 10 minutes to cut his hair.
I saw this new place had opened in AF called "cookie cutters" and they only cut kids hair. So today we went there and it was so cute! The kids get to pick a cool car or aeroplane to sit in as well as pick out a show to watch. The best part is they are seat belted in so they can't jump out. They even have a little apot for little girls to get their nails painted.
I was so impressed. Linus still cried but it took the girl like 3 minutes to cut his hair, seriously and it looks good this time. He also got a balloon and a sucker after. Anyways I highly recommend it to those of you who have naughty kids at hair cutting time.


I didn't take my camera but I found these pics of the place.

October fun!

I love the fall time, it is my favorite! Here are some fun stuff we have been doing.
We went to the scarecrow festival and got in free on accident which was a good thing since Linus was not so much into it. I know he would have had more fun if his cousins were with him, he would have been more brave.
Then we painted little pumpkins! Linus loved this! He was so much fun! We are excited for Linus' cousin who is coming here for Halloween (which also happens to be her b-day) from AZ. We are going to have lots of fun so I will post those pics. after the big event.

Linus and I playing at the park on a nice fall day. Watch out for that big belly!

Here are all the pics. of us painting our pumpkins.




Here is our finished project! We are good.

The Gardens

Linus and I (along with his cousin Elijah and his two new twin friends Ava and Lola) went to the gardens this past week. We had so much fun. The weather was just perfect, a beautiful fall day (which just so happens to be my favorite season). Between the 3 moms I think we took around 400 pictures! So here is just a small handful of our little cuties!
