Let's Talk TV!

**this post will not contain any pictures since it is too hard to get them!!

I have seen a few VERY enjoyable shows this week!

Here is what I have liked; then you tell us what you like!!

MONDAY: a BIG night!

NBC: The EVENT **this one could be my favorite. It has flavors of Lost. You really should watch the first one, which is on tonight, then watch the new one which is also on tonight. DVR if you need to!

FOX: Lone Star - I really enjoyed this one too! It has con men; families; oil people; rich people regular people. One of the con men is struggling with staying in the "family business" or going straight. He loves his wife and ....his new wife...he can't help it. I am afraid this one might get cancelled; it's what I heard on the radio.

CBS: Hawaii 5-0 - I watched this one later; didn't think I would like it; but it was GREAT! I really enjoyed it. It has Jin from Lost! One of the guys; Dan-o, is James Conn's son. He is a great actor. The other main guy played a vampire in a show I watched last year; he was very good in that. Really this is on the top of my must watch list!

NBC: Chase - I liked this one fine. I do think it could get a little old. FBI, they are looking for the bad guy; they happen to find him before the show ends....


TUESDAY:

NBC: The Biggest Loser...I'm sure it will get better

ABC: Detroit 1-8-7 - I liked this fine; good acting; it has a lot of the flavor of NYPD Blue


WEDNESDAY:

CBS: Survivor - if you missed this, it was excellent!! So good; best "you're off the island" ceremony ever!

CBS: The Defenders: this was fine. Not sure if I will keep watching it. Has Jim Belushi & Rebecca Roman's new husband...what's his name?? They are funny and lawyers all set in Las Vegas. Oh - the husband's name is Jerry O'Connell.

Not sure what day:

Blue Bloods: with Tom Seleck and Mark Walberg. It was fine. Come on, I can't watch everything! Cop show, in New York, or somewhere like that. Is there corruption in the police station? That is what the show is about. Tom Seleck's whole family is with the police department...one daughter is a lawyer.

My favorites so far are The Event & Hawaii 5-0. Lone Star comes in very close. I will definitely be watching or recording those. Well, and of course I won't miss Biggest Loser or Survivor.

What are you watching??

A Pass, an Eagle and a House

Just in case you haven't looked over at the COLE BLOG lately, we've had some GOOD news!

Steven passed 2 parts of his CPA exam....2 more to go!

Zak became an Eagle!

Christopher bought a house! His house becomes his on October 16th.

I learned how to share in Kindergarten...

And A Public Note to Dawney!

Dawney asked me to sew her an apron for her comedy act -

Voila! Here it is!

Quinn is such a good and willing apron model!Pink lining! Love the big bow in back!

Notice the scalloped hem!
Now don't walk around jealous!

Four Score and Seven Years Ago...

Criptic Note:

THAT'S where THEY are...

Funny story: I sent a text to Bumpa; wondering where they were, how they were doing, feeling. I soon got several nonsense text back! Lately, Bumpa has been GREAT at texting so this (I must say) really alarmed me! I wondered if someone was having a stroke and this was their way to call for help! As I was calling them, I GOT a call from Nana. Although she did not realize she had called me...it was a funny conversation between Nana and Bumpa; I was yelling at my phone to tell Nana I was there; she never heard me. I realized no one was having a stroke; it was just Nana at the controls of the phone. Very funny. Hours later, Bumpa sent me another text:
LOL, I just saw all of Mom's texts to you!

LOL! Bumpa really knows all the texting lingo. Good for you!

Now, a public note to Tatia:

Remember, years ago when we went to the Home Show in Utah? It was a delightful time! Remember I bought a couple of candles...I think I did that 2 times. Well, look what I still have burning in my bathroom:



It was a good buy!
Or maybe I don't use it much...hmm
Or maybe I burn the candle for a few minutes, then blow it out and I have done that 100 times; that's how I use it.

Thought you'd like to know.

A New Eagle

We have a new EAGLE SCOUT in our midst!

Zachary was declared an Eagle on Tues, September 14, 2010.

His court of honor is this Saturday at 7:00pm.

It is with great pride, relief and joy that we make this announcement!

That makes me, (Julie), the proud mother of

FOUR Eagle Scouts!

Today is Gil's birthday. I wanted to start with when Teo first arrived. I think by the look on Gil's face that he is overwhelmed with JOY at seeing his own son!



This is how I knew Gil - loving to dance. He and Candice make a beautiful couple!


Here they are in Paris having a wonderful time.

"Come on, Teo, let's get in the water".

Loving his life with Teo. Happy Birthday, Gil, may you have many more. We love you as part of our family - I've never seen Candice so happy! Enjoy your day!!

Sorry, I don't know how to fix this. This pic was not on its' side when I inserted it into the blog. I still need help!!

Thanks to Julie for a wonderful picture of Nana & Bumpa at the Preston Rodeo July 2010!

She NEVER Gives Up!!

Thanks, Mom, (Nana) for all your hours of working with Quinn's birthday post!

I, (Julie) was happy to be able to get all those posts on the blog! If you are going to do ALL that work, you should get the credit!!

Since you wrote that Quinn was born on a Thursday, my other children were all curious as to what day they were born on. We looked them ALL up. They were ALL born on a WEDNESDAY!! Isn't that funny. Quinn is my only Thurs - he has far to go - - all the others are full of woe (or edited by you (Nana) will fear no foe! So funny!

THURSDAY'S CHILD!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, QUINN! you were born on a thursday, I think, about 9:30 in the evening. We are still happy to have you as part of our family. We love you very much. I have tried and tried since 1 pm to put more pictures of you. I had them all lined up. But, VOILLA! it wouldn't work. And I have many drafts back there, as well. Hope you have had a great day.

THURSDAYS CHILD!!

Happy Birthday to Quinn. He was an adorable baby. Now, with so much hair he reminds me of this!

Happy Birthday, Quinn! Yes, you are a bit like a lion in that you do have a red mane. You don't roar (far from it) but sometimes there is an attitude. Especially when you were just a toddler!

Thursdays Child - Happy Birthday

THURSDAY'S CHILD! WHO IS IT?

This child is having a birthday! And, yes, he does have a red mane and sometimes he looks a lot like this.

Audition Video

Tanner got a call from a school/church friend who had an audition to be on a new, kid's game show. She needed two more kids to do the audition with her, since you had to be in teams of three. Did Tanner want to do it with her? Sure, I said. Part of the audition process was that you had to submit a video of your team, tell who you are, how you know each other, and why you think you will win. This is what they came up with for their video. It is 2 parts, both short. Watch the ice cream part last.

A Little Help PLEASE!!

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help!

Something must have happened with blogspot and adding pictures!!

I have been the queen of this!!

I just made a lovely post over at the books blog.
The best part of a blog are the pictures. So, I was set to add a picture for every book I reported on. I worked on the pictures for about 30 - 45 minutes. NOT ONE picture worked!!

WHY??

I go to google, image, choose my book, like Heart of the Matter. The book comes up. I copied the URL to the special place in the "add a picture". I click the button to add. It DOES NOT WORK. I don't know why. Anyone else have this problem? Is/are they being really tight about copyright rules??

As you can see, I can add my own photographs. No Problem.

I tried to even add clip art pictures, which I have done ONE MILLION times! That didn't work either.

Can anyone solve my problem? I will love you forever.

**I picked this photo for gross & shock value. Trying to get your attention. While driving from Utah to California, I heard a loud noise on my driver's side window. It sounded like a little humming bird hit the window and then disintegrated. It WAS very gross. We took many pictures of it.

Mexican Riviera

Here are some of our pictures from our Mexican Riviera. Julie helped me to update. I couldn't get the d...... pics on. Things change.
And I like things to stay the same ... well, sorta - unless I want to change my house around. Love you all.
