Good Stuff

Jordan got to go to a family reunion for a few days this week. (He went with Grandma and Grandpa to represent our family.) We've missed him around here. This is what we've been doing to keep ourselves busy while he's been gone.

We went to a wedding.

Saw Kung Fu Panda.


Very entertaining. Jemma loved Tigress. Po's expressions cracked me up.

Made a new playlist for summer:

I'm Yours. Jason Mraz

Viva la Vida. Coldplay

Stop and Stare. OneRepublic

Better Together. Jack Johnson

If I had $1,000,000. Barenaked Ladies

How to Save a Life. The Fray

You're Beautiful. James Blunt

Read My Mind. The Killers

Snow. Red Hot Chili Peppers

Glamorous. Fergie

Beverly Hills. Weezer

Me Love. Sean Kingston

Low. Flo Rida

Tattoo. Jordin Sparks

Kiss Kiss. Chris Brown


Shuffling through the contents of the iPod while floating on the boat was entirely too random. One minute you'd be rocking out, next you'd hear "First Nephi, Chapter Three," then maybe a Christmas song by Smashing Pumpkins. Organizing music isn't usually at the top of my list, but I finally took the time to do it.

In downloading I'm Yours, it started to drive me a little crazy that I never know how to pronounce this guy's last name so I checked out his website. It's worth a look, and he even introduces himself on the home page. (Yeah, Mraz sounds just like it's spelled.)

Spent an afternoon with Doug and his kids on their boat.

Jemma & Sydnee

Watched The Golden Compass on DVD.

I didn't think I'd get into this movie, especially since I missed the first thirty minutes, but it was intriguing and I ended up really liking it. Now I need to watch the beginning, since I did miss some important details.

Of course we've been doing a lot of other stuff too. This is just the stuff worth noting. And I think Jordan's been having all sorts of fun, so it's not like he missed out. He's been river rafting and geo caching and all kinds of things.

Does anyone want to give me some tips on spacing text with photos? I'm struggling! I do not know html.

How much fun! I thought it pretty interesting...my daughters name is Sydney, and my best friends daugters name is Gemma (same name different spellings!)

Seeing Low by Flo Rida on your playlist threw me for a minute. I too have been downloading some new music lately but I think I'm a little embarrassed so I'm not going to announce what I've got. I love that in between Low and Glamorous it would be possible to hear some rad scripture on your iPod.

I just copied your whole playlist to save for when I hopefully someday have an mp3 player. Am I the last person on earth over 13 years old without one???

great play list...I wrote down a couple that I am going to go check out. Love Jack Johnson. His music makes me smile. Looks like everyone is having good summer fun.

That music mix sounds fun. That would drive me crazy not to have my songs organized. I love playlists!

We saw Kung Fu Panda and loved it. I haven't see Golden Compass yet due to mixed reviews. You made me curious now, I might have to rent it.

A family reunion, a wedding, boating a movie and a new playlist...sounds like summer to me!
