5 love languages

You might be wondering why I would put a picture of tulips on my blog. Well, let's just say it is a manifestation of Love Language #3: Receiving Gifts. If you have read the book The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman--you know what I'm talking about (if you haven't read it, I highly recommend it.)

On Friday night, after a long week of car window painting, Andrews Sisters practicing and singing, scouting, dinner making and taking, playground sets together putting, swimming, etc.--I announced to Brett that my LOVE TANK WAS EMPTY! My number 1 love language is Quality Time which I think sometimes is the hardest one for Brett to give me, because we are sooooo busy. He decided that on Saturday, he would do one thing from each of the love languages to help fill my love tank again. I will spare you the cheesy details of the other acts of love, but STILL I thought it was very sweet of him.

Well, here we are on Tuesday morning and my love tank is empty again. Oh well :-)

Gus: The Movie

Sometimes it seems that our life is so crazy, funny, or weird that we could make a movie about our lives. So, we started thinking about who would play the roles of our family if we actually made Gus: the Movie.

We came up with a few ideas, and we want to see what you think. We'll give you two or three choices for each starring role, and you can vote at the end for the actor you think is most suited to play each part.

For the role of Brett:

Would it be Topher Grace?




Or would it be Lucas Grabeel (Ryan from High School Musical)?



And to play of Kasia, would it be . . .

Alexis Bledel?



or Natalie Portman?



For the all-important part of Wilson, would it be . . .

a young Ron Howard?



Haley Joel Osment?



or Rupert Grint, Ron from the Harry Potter movies? (Wil's personal choice)



And to play Maisy, would it be . . .

Shirley Temple?



or

Darla Hood, from the Little Rascals?



And would Baby Ace be played by . . .

Jack-Jack, from the Incredibles?



or

the Gerber Baby?


You decide! Let us know by leaving your comments below. Is there a star that would be better suited to play one of us? Also, who would play YOU in a movie?

Kung Fu Baby

We LOVE our baby! He's so sweet and he LOVES hugs and kisses from all of us.






BUT--don't be deceived by his coos and his smiles...
