My Bella Moment

Every Wednesday I go to my moms before work to read the paper and she cooks me lunch (Thanks Mom!) I was going to my car to head to work and I stepped off the curb with one foot and my next foot caught the edge of the curb sending me flying forward landing on my right knee and I caught myself with my left hand. Now, I have fallen many times, but I hadn't fallen that hard in a long time. My mom saw me and thought I had just dropped my purse, but when I didn't get up right away she came over to me. I just had to sit there on the wet ground for a while. When I did get up I was way light headed and I couldn't really hear very well. My mom took my arm and I decided to go wash my hands and pants off. I stopped off on the stairs in the hallway while my mom got me a wash cloth. I decided to just try and breath slowly and close my eyes. The next thing I remember is my mom saying "Jena! Jena!" She told me when she came to give me a wash cloth I was slumped over with my hair...

Spring has Sprung!

Hurray for perfect weather! We got out to mow our lawn, dig out our garden, clean our cars, play and watch soccer games. We bought a manual push lawn mower to try and conserve on gas and get a little exercise while we are at it. I actually really like to mow the lawn even though I am not in the picture doing it. I hadn't cleaned the inside of my car for a long time so it took me quite a while. Yeah, I'm a slacker. It took Chris about 2 minutes to clean out his car. All he had to do is pick up empty bottles of water. Chris played on his rec. soccer team and scored 3 goals!:) His team went on to win 5-2. We also watched the RSL game and they lost 4-1 which was pretty disappointing. We love Spring! Except that every Saturday we find snakes in our yard.

Another video to watch.

Chris here, giving you a little something to watch over the weekend. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a soccer fanatic. So, I thought I would post a video of the greatest player in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo. A Portuguese international player, playing for Manchester United in England. This video is a compilation of the goals he has scored in the 07/08 season. In 41 games, he has scored 38 goals. I think this video shows most of them. Don't forget to stop the music player at the bottom first, and enjoy.

Not just for Teens

I have a confession to make. I am a Twilighter . I know that a lot of you are as well, but I would like to tell my story and explain why I hate when the media or newspapers always talk about this book, they only mention teenage girls liking it. I work in a doctor's office and I see a lot of books come through the door. I take the patients back so I usually ask what they are reading and if they like it. I had seen the Twilight books come through every once in a while, but the only response I would get is "It's a love story between a Vampire and a girl." I didn't really think much of it (maybe because I was still on a Harry Potter high, and nothing was going to touch my Harry). Might I mention that every single person that brought that book in was a grown woman, usually the same age as my own mother (not saying that my mom is old, but that they were not teenagers). Then one day , a few weeks after the third book came out, a patient came in and she had a daughter my...

I'm David Bowie...

This video clip is absolutely hilarious. Don't believe us? Just ask Carrie (Jena's sister). We showed her this a few days after she had her new baby and she had to walk out of the room because she was laughing too hard and it hurt (sorry Carrie). Anyway, it is from a show called Flight of the Conchords on HBO. Enjoy. Make sure you press pause on the music player at the bottom of the page before you start the video clip.

5 things you may not know about us.

Here is a list of things that you may not know about us. Some of them may come as a surprise! Chris: I twist balloon animals I would rather watch Rugby than Football (or as I like to call it, "Throwball") I don't like snakes (as Jena found out last week when we had one on our back porch) I have ugly feet (aka Quasitoetoes) My favorite television show is Saved by the Bell (and I still watch it on a regular basis) Jena: I love photography I love Ice Cream (Farr's Brownies on the Moon... mmm) I'm a very picky eater, but I am getting better I hate insects (except for cute ones) I spend more time watching cooking shows than I spend actually cooking

Welcome! Version 2

I had to redo the blog under a new email address and url because it was affecting the way that Chris' other blog worked. I have officially been bit by the bug, the blogging bug. I am not normally very good at this but I am going to give it a try. All of my sister have a blog and I found myself checking their blog every time I got onto the internet, so I decided it was about time. My sister Dana Marie created this for me. (Thanks Dana!) She did a wonderful job. I hope I can keep it up!
