dinner & a movie…

October 24, 2009

one of my favorite combinations,
with one of my favorite couples.

we met up with the taylors in slc for delicious italian cuisine and a movie. scotty has spent time in italy, and he has great taste for choosing italian restaurants.

Michaelangelo did not disappoint. i had a caprese salad and grilled salmon that was really good.

highly recommended.

scotty and i have been friends since we were fifteen years old, he has always been such a loyal friend. i not only cherish our friendship, but i also adore his beautiful wife. literally, after 30 minutes together not only my stomach hurt from laughing –

this weekend…

we caught a double feature.

we started backwards, by accident.

we watched toy story 2, then toy story.

the 3d was fantastic. good work disney.

however, my kids {and i} loved it till we were about 30 minutes in to the second movie, and we’d all had just enough toy-story and opted to leave early…

this did get us excited about toy story 3…coming next summer!!!

*****

i do have one gripe about 3d glasses…
don’t you think it’s about time they made little kids sizes for 3d glasses?
i mean, aren’t there quite a few small/younger kids watching these movies?

.....

cute. i could have been good with the previews i watched the last six months.

in the actual movie, i lost interest half-way through, but our kids liked it the entire time…the picture of the jell-o house below was one of my favorite parts.

on another note, i’ve purchased 20 tickets for my girlfriends & i to see “new moon” at midnight in eight weeks…fun, fun gno!

in the rhodes home –

dusty has returned to “friday lunches with big papi!” this is a big benefit of papi’s offices being two blocks away from our kids school.

dusty either takes the kids their favorite fast food or checks them out of school for 30 minutes and runs them somewhere to eat.

this is definitely the highlight of their lunch-week!

(loved it.)

(in the running for one of my favorite movies ever.)

(thank you husband, for enduring it, for me.)

dusty:
“maybe it should have only been five days of summer…”
