TRANSFORMERS

"We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting, protecting. I have witnessed their capacity for courage, and though we are worlds apart, like us, there's more to them than meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars: we are here, we are waiting."

We finally went to see TRANSFORMERS yesterday, 2 1/2 months after it came out. Now Jordan wants some TRANSFORMERS, I should have saved the ones I had as a kid! Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, I had most of them. I thought the movie was great even though they changed Bumblebee from a Volkswagen Bug (original series) to a 1977 Chevrolet Camaro and later a 2009 concept Camaro. Some of the scene locations were also recognizable as they filmed in New Mexico (Kirtland AFB), Las Vegas, Hoover Dam and Rialto, CA (where I grew up).

Marsha Turns . . . . .

30!

We celebrated Marsha's B-Day on Friday night with a few friends at the house last night. We ate some tacos and had pink lemonade ice cream cake. Unfortunately the camera wasn't working right so no pictures were take. Maybe Marsha sabatoged the camera! Not really, the batteries went dead and we didn't have any charged up to replace them. Tomorrow we are going to see TRANSFORMERS on the base.

Gulliver's Land

This past Monday (Labor Day) we went to a theme park called Gulliver's Land in a town called Milton Keynes, about an hour and a half from our house. It's not Disneyland but has a lot of similarities. The main character is a mouse and the park is broken down into lands; Main Street, Lilliput Land, Toyland, Central Hub, Adventure Land, Discovery Bay and Junior Discovery Cove and there is a train that goes around the whole park. The kids had a blast and we even got Calvin to go on a few rides, hopefully when we finally to get to Disneyland Paris he will be over that fear. Enjoy the pictures:

4th Grade!

I know this is about a week late but Jordan started the 4th grade! He is still going to Feltwell Elementary and takes the long bus trip in the morning and afternoon. So far he likes his teacher this year, Mr. Whitehead.

Next year we will have two in school as Calvin starts kindergarten and will be going to the same school as Jordan for a year. Then Kaylee the year after that and Marsha has the house to herself during the day.
