Transformers Beast Wars now on DVD

Leave a comment

Have I ever mentioned that my Alex is often classified as a nerd?

He really is.
From what I’ve heard, he always has been.

Yes, there was a little bit of jock mixed in there too.

He may have played football and rugby but he was also very much into things like G.I. Joe, Star Wars and of course…..
Transformers!

Transformers Beast Wars began airing when he was 11 years old…..and HE.LOVED.IT.

Needless to say now that it is available on DVD, he has introduced Alexander to the show as well….and he is HOOKED!

Transformers: Beast Wars Season One is available on a 4 DVD set and features all 26 episodes plus some great bonus features including an art gallery, original character models and creating a new breed of Transformer.

Here’s a clip:

As you can probably tell, I have been gone for a bit.
I’ve been busy spending some time with the kids now that they are out of school for the Summer.
Oh and there is that whole being pregnant thing and I’ve been a little sick here and there and I also hurt my back about 2 weeks ago, but am doing much better now.

Since I’ve been gone I thought I would share some pics of what’s been going on!

Zack played the part of William the Conqueror in the living museum at school.

 

The Libby graduated from 5th Grade and is ready to move on to middle school this Fall.

We spent the first weekend in June swimming and fishing.

So far we are having a great Summer!

Oh and be sure to watch for a baby update this week!

The Wild Thornberry’s Season 1 on DVD NOW!

Leave a comment

When Zack and Libby were little, I spent A LOT of time watching The Wild Thornberry’s on Nickelodeon. The show became a part of our everyday life.
I still have episodes recorded on VHS.
That’s how much we watched it.
Needless to say they were very excited to share the show with their little brother and watch all of season 1 this past Sunday.

The Wild Thornberry’s follows the Thornberry family as they travel the world in their Communications Vehicle (or CommVee) looking for rare animals to film. After an encounter with an African shaman, their youngest child Eliza was given the power to speak to animals! Every episode in this adventure-packed DVD set follows Eliza as she comes face-to-face with an assortment of animals, continents and danger. Encounter wildlife in all its natural glory and eavesdrop on Eliza’s conversations with silverback gorillas, pythons, crested grebes, tapirs, capybaras, antelopes and opossums while the CommVee travels on!

Here is a quick clip

This show if funny and educational all in one and I am super excited that I had the chance to share this show with Alexander along with Zack and Libby.

Farewell Lola

Leave a comment

This past weekend, the Alex and I packed up the minivan and headed West to Eau Claire to see my sister in law graduate from college.
Along the way we had fun signing and chair dancing and just enjoying time together.
Then, about an hour from our destination, the engine in our van blew up.
Blew up as in it decided that it did not want to work anymore.
So, there we sat.
On the side of the highway.
Next to a cross that said R.I.P. Don.
My father in law had to drive the hour from Eau Claire to rescue us.
Lola, my poor van was towed to a dealership and then off to be salvaged.
It was a very sad weekend.


A moment of silence please……

You will be missed.

So, we have spent the past few days shopping for a van and have found one.
We pick it up tonight!!!
So after today, we will be the proud owners of a 2005 Dodge Caravan and will be making car payments once again.
I am excited and can’t wait to pick up the van because for the past 4 days we have been cramming our family of 5 into our 2003 Kia Spectra which is a very, very tight squeeze and after 5 minutes in the car we want to kill each other.

Watch for pictures of the new van!
