King Kong (2005)

March 30, 2006

kingkong_bigfinal1.jpg

Directed by Peter Jackson. Starring Jack Black, Naomi Watts, Adrien Brody. Rated PG-13.

Carl Denham (Jack Black) needs to finish his movie and has the perfect location; Skull Island. The leading lady of his movie is Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts). No one knows what they will encounter on this island and why it is so mysterious, but once they reach it, they will soon find out. Living on this hidden island is a giant gorilla and this beast now has Ann is it’s grasps. Carl and Ann’s new love, Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody) must travel through the jungle looking for Kong and Ann, whilst avoiding all sorts of creatures and beasts. But Carl has another plan in mind…

Last night we went to circuit city and bought King Kong and watched it before bed. It was a pretty good movie. It was kind of weird to see jack black play a “normal” person and not another goofy character, but I think it worked out well. It was a fairly long movie and not exactly what I expected it to be about. I thought the majority of it would take place in New York with King Kong on the loose, but that was only a short bit of it. It had some creative writers behind it tho.

Stand Up

Taylor has been pulling up to a standing position lately. and I’ve actually taken some photos of her doing so, enjoy. Here are some pictures of Taylor pulling up to a standing in her crib. Lately she has been trying to pull up on everything and has even learned (well sort of still new at this) how to sit down after standing up. Its the most precious thing to watch. ? ? I LOVE being a mom! Who’s with me?

and a few more from the day we bought King Kong, and how she fell asleep with Jamie.

Okay well I guess thats about it for this entry. bye.

Taylor is officially sitting up on her own, crawling, and babbling. So I guess that means PICTURE POST!

New Toys

March 9, 2006

The last couple of days I’ve been doing alot more than usual. Thats why I havent really gotten the chance to update or anything. Monday night we ate pot roast/soup. Jamie gave Taylor a little taste of the juice and she went nuts lol. Jamie would hold up the spoon and Taylor would perk up and crawl across the livingroom to get to it, which is pretty cute considering she is just now learning to crawl (I believe the day before was the first time she actually moved in the direction she really wanted to go to instead of just backwards lol). Its so precious to watch, because she still hasnt gotten in exactly right… so she kind of hops to whatever it is that she wants.

Yesterday and today was a series of errands that we ran. We went to Sams and finally got my thyroid medicine (I have gone without it for about a week or two!) and it was really cheap there ($14 without insurance, when it was about $20-25 WITH insurance somewhere else)! It really made me happy. We also went to Target and Walmart to pick up some random things. I dont think going was the fun part, more that I just got to leave the house lol.

We did manage to get Taylor 3 new outfits, stack of rings, a shape sorter, and a vibrating elephant ball (the link went to the puppy version but we have the elephant).

Its fun getting new toys!
