How...Romantic?

For our first anniversary, Brett surprised me with an overnight trip to Park City, Utah. The next morning we went shopping in the outlet mall, had a fabulous lunch, and then headed to Salt Lake to go to the aquarium. Brett had reservations for dinner that night, but we were pretty early for them. We decided to go to the Gateway and see a movie. The movie that we were willing to see that started at the right time was Pirates of the Caribbean 3. Romantic, no? Thus was born our anniversary tradition.

On our second anniversary, we went out to dinner and saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I was thrilled to get out of the house because Kennedy was born only 6 weeks earlier.

For our third anniversary, we went out to dinner and saw Terminator Salvation.

It seems that the first big blockbuster action movie of the summer always comes out in May, just in time for our anniversary at the beginning of June. So, next week, we will be continuing the tradition by going to dinner and then driving the 30 minutes to the movie theatre in Crescent City, CA to see Robin Hood. It may not be totally normal, but we enjoy it.

Texas Teaser

I thought that I would give you a small taste of what's been going on here in Texas. I have more pictures to share, but they will have to wait until we get back to Utah. In the meantime, here are some cute ones that my dad took. First, here's Wyatt. He's so cute and getting so big! He's almost 6 months old.

We opened some presents from Grandpa Pitt the first day we got here. Kennedy loves the musical bee that she got. She's played with it every morning.
A cute close up.

She loves to open presents. It was fun to open some more with her because she had to take a nap in the middle of opening presents on Christmas morning.

Here's Kennedy with Grandpa. They've been having lots of fun. Grandpa watched her while we went to see Benjamin Button (which I highly recommend to everyone) and they had a blast.

We've been having a great time here! We went to the aquarium (pictures will come later), got to see my aunt, uncle and cousins who live in Beijing, have had some yummy meals, played some fun games, and rang in the new year with some Martinelli's. It's been a great trip so far and we're happy that we get to spend a couple more days here!

What to Watch?

I need some help.  I am having movie issues.  Last night Brett and I watched The Benchwarmers, which was pretty much the dumbest movie I've ever seen besides Talladega Nights.  Seriously.  Don't waste an hour and a half of your life on that movie.  It was basically John Heder picking his nose, a bunch of bathroom humor, and a bunch of jokes that didn't even make sense.  And then they all ended up with hot girls.  To make up for it, I will probably watch something awesome tonight, like The Prestige.  I am desperately wishing that Dark Knight was out on DVD right now, but since it's not, I would love some suggestions for a good movie that we can watch.  What's your favorite movie?  What's a great movie that you saw recently?

A few of the better movies that I've seen recently were the old version of The Manchurian Candidate, Lars and the Real Girl, and Wall-E.  The last two were very heartwarming, touching movies, and the first was just great.  It was mostly talk (the one action scene is not so great) but it is pretty suspenseful.  Plus I love old blue eyes.  So help me out and give me some ideas for another great movie to add to my repertoire!
