Full Moon Sledding




last week the moon was so bright we went out for a night sled and iceskate. The skating was perfect because the ice was smooth and brie had a great time sledding. So on the next full moon go out for a walk or ski, or sled!

G is a super roller these days....she likes to hang out on her tummy but cant quite figure out how to get back. Mom has to watch out becasue she will try and flip even when she is in her bouncy chair, and today we had a roll off the couch incident....lucky it was very close to the floor and there was a down blanket down there from Bries fort so she only cried for about 30 seconds

Lil G almost 4 months!

I cant believe how fast time goes, my lil G is already almost 4 months old and she is changing so much.

She is now 12 pounds, putting her between the 5th and 10th percentiles

She sleeps through the night! Somewhere between 6-9 hours

She rolls over on her tummy when ever I put her on the floor, but cant quite figure out how to get back

She smiles! mostly in the morning after a good nights sleep

She holds her toys, cant do much with them but likes to reach for them

She loves to stand up in her jumperoo and watch everything big sister is doing!

'Avatar' ends 'Titanic's reign as highest grossing movie ever

It's official  - 'Avatar' (r.) has brought in more bucks at the box office than the former record-holder, 'Titanic.' Both movies were directed by James Cameron.


It's official: "Avatar" has sunk "Titanic" as the all-time box-office champ.

The tale of conflict between an indigenous tribe of 9-foot-tall blue people and the humans who want their planet's resources became the highest grossing movie ever over the weekend, thanks to six weeks of booming box-office receipts internationally, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

As of Sunday, "Avatar" had raked in $1.292 billion worldwide, beating by $50.1 million the previous record held by "Titanic." Both movies were directed by James Cameron.

His earlier epic tale of love aboard the most famous sinking ship of all time had held the record for 13 years, having taken in $1.242 billion at the box office when it — as Leonardo DiCaprio's character so memorably says in the movie — was "king of the world."

"Avatar" still has a ways to go before it overtakes "Titanic" in the U.S. As it stands, it has taken in $551.7 million, still $49 million short of "Titanic's" $600.8 million.

The record-breaking weekend was the sixth in a row that "Avatar" had grossed at least $100 million internationally, the Hollywood Reporter noted.

China and Russia, countries that were not significant in "Titanic's" box-office dominance, were big contributors to "Avatar's" success.

Even without factoring in inflation, "Avatar" and "Titanic" aren't competing on an even playing field in terms of monetary intake. Because "Avatar" was shot and is being shown widely in 3D, theaters are charging at least several dollars more per ticket than they would for a conventional film, to say nothing of the change in ticket prices in the 13 years since "Titanic" was released, in 1997.

At least 65% of "Avatar's" earnings abroad come from 3D theaters. For the U.S., that number is 80%, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

When adjusted for inflation, "Titanic" would still come out on top, with its gross worth at least $2.5 billion in today's numbers.

By that measure, though, both of Cameron's films would fall to yet another sweeping romance with political and social dimensions: "Gone With the Wind," which in 1939 grossed $400 million. That would be equal to at least $6 billion today.

Well its been a few days and I think I can write about my Chargers now :( I always hear this line about the chargers "the only one who can beat them is themselves" and that is exactly what happened. They win 11 straight and get worked over the most important game by a lame team like the jets??? Now I dont wanna put it all on their kicker but come on 3 missed field goals! All he had to do was make ONE to go OT and give them a chance. I get that he cracked under pressure but come on he is the PRO BOWL KICKER! Any ways im very disapoined and im going to go pop the Charger football balloon I saw at super one lol. So now I will go for the Saints even tho I like Favre and the Vikings too. I always go against the Colts thinking the Chargers would have to play them in the championship but now that thats out I guess I have nothing against them making the Superbowl.......Saints Vs. Colts could make for an exciting game!
