Very progressive!

Jeremy and I took a mini getaway this weekend and stayed the night at the Nylo hotel.
This is one of those new modern hotels where the rooms are lofts. It's actually pretty nice, but not as nice as the Aloft. I knew the whole time Jeremy would point out all the weird stuff and say that it's very progressive!
It started with the Sangria waiting out in the lobby. It looked really good, too bad it was alcohol. There was this "chair" out in the hall that Jeremy tried. It was a square cement block with padding on the inside. I tried out one of those egg chairs that hang from the ceiling. You know the ones I'm talking about?
Our room was polished concrete from floor to ceiling. The bathroom door was a sliding one. The bed had these wooden wheel looking things holding it up and the two-piece headboard was held together with a latch. Two good things...a flat screen TV on a swivel arm and the rain forest shower head! It was all very progressive!
I again picked a restaurant that was too expensive. The food wasn't really worth it, but the dessert was! If you ever try Coast, get their lemon phyllo tart. Yumm!
I enjoy staying at these modern hotels. They are not cookie cutter and it's fun looking at all the weird furniture. I regret not sitting in the padded seating with the low table at breakfast. The kind where you would sit on the floor like in a Japanese place. We thought we would look funny sitting in the wall, so we chose the hay filled table instead! Very progressive!!

Being Frugal

I saw some really good ideas for cutting down on your grocery bill on a blog I follow. It's called Momadvice.com and the post is 35 ways to cut down your grocery bill. I'm not as good as some of you bloggers out there and don't know how to set up a link in this post. I'm also too lazy and tired to try and figure it out :)
So I never knew you could rinse your ground beef and get a lower fat content. You can buy the cheapest ground beef, cook it, rinse it a certain way (site tells you how), and it's like you bought the more expensive lean beef! I'm actually excited to learn this and will be trying it!
I also liked the idea of having a price book. I've gotten good at knowing what the prices are at Walmart of the things we buy the most. Then when I check the circulars from other stores, I can tell if matching the price is worth it or not. I haven't done a scientific analysis or anything ,but I'm thinking this saves us money :)
I've also decided to try the make your own mixes route (like syrup, salad dressings, and spice mixes) and make your cleaning supplies. I was surprised how simple her cleaning supplies are. Do they really clean well?
Also, I was checking out a friend's favorite blogs and read a story that is amazing! This lady says she goes shopping twice a year!! And she spends $150 each time!! They grow all their own veggies and fruit, have all these livestock for meat, milk, and eggs. If you'd like to read the story the link is www.handprintsonthewall.org/2008/05/09/the-true-queen-of-frugal.
I thought Wow! I'd kind of like to try that, but then I thought would I really want to live like that? I told Jeremy about it and he doesn't think it's true (about the $150 for each shopping trip)!
How do you save on your grocery bill?

Birthdays

We had two birthdays in our family, Jeremy and Ayden! (last month, May)
For Ayden's party we invited family over to eat cake and ice cream. Here's her cake...






She LOVES Oswald and Weinie!!!





















This is everyone in our small living room! I was hoping we could have gone to the playground, but it had rained that day :( I was surprised we had enough chairs for everyone!














Ayden was really great about being excited to open every present! She said Wow! and Yeah! for everything. I was unsure if she would be ready for the bike we got her, but she loved it. We have gotten alot of use out of it. Her favorite thing to do is ride down our driveway. It's down hill so she goes really fast!!
Jeremy's birthday took a few days to do mainly because of his schedule. We did our date thing one night, cake and ice cream another night, and then presents on another night! Here's another great photo of him...














I feel bad that he was holding his own cake to blow out the candles, but I wanted pictures too!
I have to tell about the funny thing that Jeremy did the other day! We were at a pack meeting and he couldn't hear the prayer very good. When the boy said he was thankful for Jesus Christ Jeremy thought it was the end of the prayer and said Amen. It was so funny!!! I couldn't help but laugh! This picture is great! These are some of the "posters" Jeremy's students made to hang up around his room. They all say how Coach Scott is the best and he rocks your socks off and stuff like that! He tries to act embarrassed about it, but I know he enjoys it!














Also I could use some ideas for the summer!!! Especially from those who live around here. I am feeling guilty of letting Asher play video games and watch tv all day. I scoured the internet for cheap/free things to do and haven't come up with much. Any ideas? Maybe I'm worried for nothing. The kids would probably be happy with going to our neighborhood pool everyday, but I feel like I need to plan a variety of activities for the days. Does anyone else feel that way?
Other than that it's the same old stuff :) Hope everyone is doing well!!

Stuff

For the past two weeks, I have been back at the school thing! Sort of! I am taking an online medical transcription program. I was nervous at first because it's been a while since I went to school, but it's been fun.
Sarah came over this past week and we did a glamour shots session :) Here are a few of my favorites....


























































Asher has been experimenting with his hair style...we call it the Edward Cullen look. For those of you who don't know that's a reference to the Twilight movie.














Here is Asher with the chicken nuggets he won for his gingerbread house last year. It fed our family for 4 days/two meals a day!














We had a wonderful Easter! We got to spend time with both sides of the family. And we were lucky enough or not to go to 4 egg hunts! I don't think that candy is ever going to get eaten. We are all tired of eating candy :) Never thought that would happen with 2 kids :)
Saturday, we went to visit Jeremy's family. The egg hunt was fun! Ayden really got the hang of it and we had to get a bigger basket. Then we hung out. We have played Rock Band everytime we visit, and I'm proud to say you know a medium level drum player :)
Sunday, we went to my family and had a great ham dinner. My mom makes the best ham, and if you don't believe me, ask Asher. He is the pickiest eater, but he looks forward to her ham! Ayden and Sofia started finding eggs even before we started the hunt. I guess they were a little too easy to find.
We also had our own egg hunt at home. I got 42 eggs because Jeremy thought we should have alot. I guess, Jeremy and I hid the eggs for Asher really well because we had to give him hints on where to find most of them. Ayden even found one of his! We may have an expert Easter hunter here :) I really like hiding eggs!!!

For my sis, Amy

Amy has been bugging :) me to put up a new post, so here it is finally!
Things have been going well for us. Jeremy is enjoying school, but ready for the summer. He has been asked to come back next year!! They would have been crazy not to. By the way, the snow video was from last year :) Jeremy told his students he would let them see it and the only way we could figure out how to do it was to post it on the blog.
I got my hair cut about 6 weeks ago. I went to the salon and asked what would look good with my hair. Here's the result




























The first is almost right after I got it cut and the second a few days ago.
Our Buick broke down about a month ago and decided it wasn't worth fixing, so we got a new car. New to us anyway! We have entered the minivan world! It's actually really nice to have one and Jeremy has been joking about turning in his truck for another one :)
We also got the place to give us money for our old car so we could buy Rock Band. We have had alot of fun playing!! I've even practiced on my own.
Our photo album has been updated too, and there's some really cute videos!!

For Coach Scott's class

Ode to Dollar Tree

I have to just say how much I love having a Dollar Tree close by! Everything in the store is a dollar! And it's not like those other dollar stores where the stuff looks cheap and you would never buy anything from there. This stuff is actually nice and I always feel like I get a great deal.
The other day, I went there looking for little snacks for Ayden. I didn't think I would find much. There was so much stuff! Name brand stuff! The treasures just kept coming!
I was really excited when Jeremy saw all the stuff I got! (Silly, I know!) And I was always proud to say, "Yep, that was only a dollar!"
So I just wanted to say THANKS! Dollar tree, for your great, cheap things!

Butterflies and Cookies

This is a great post for guys, isn't it?!?
Decorating is a thing I love to do! I finally put up Ayden's butterfly pictures today.














I've had these wooden plaque things from Hobby Lobby forever. I bought them because they were on sale, and I thought I could think of something to use them for. (I do this often! Do you?)














I painted them myself and they weren't exactly what I imagined, but they turned out pretty good. The wall looks a little empty around them still. I was thinking flowers on the wall somehow. Any ideas? I'm set on her room theme being butterflies :) It was going to be sun, moon, and stars at first so that I would have neutral things for the next kid, but it's more fun to make things pretty and girly!
Yesterday was dessert day for us. What better thing to do then to make a bunch of desserts on a rainy day? There were brownies, rice krispy treats, and black and white cookies!














These are Jeremy's favorite! I always make them for his birthday, father's day, or whenever he requests them! After watching the Seinfeld episode about them so many times, Jeremy really wanted to try black and white cookies. I searched everywhere to find them, calling every bakery I could think of. A place in the Frisco mall said they had them, and I was so excited to surprise Jeremy! Turns out they just had cookies with chocolate and white chips. So we searched the internet and found this recipe. They are really good! And they turn out so pretty!

Game Day

Jeremy had his first volleyball game on Thursday last week, and a second on Monday.














The first one I brought Ayden to. We ended up leaving because she was tired and crying. I rounded up a babysitter for the next one. Thanks mom!














It was fun to watch the games and watch Jeremy be a coach. I don't know what he was saying, but he looked great! I know it's alot of work, but I think it's happy work for him.














Watching all those middle school kids brought back a lot of memories. I wish I would have played sports in school. Now I think I would like to join a volleyball league for older adults who haven't played in years!

Movies!

We love to go see movies! Pretty much all of our dates are dinner and a movie, but we don't mind at all. I love going out to eat and get pretty excited about it! I love to try new things and Jeremy too. Anyone know of a restaurant we just have to try?
We doubled with Jeremy's brother and his wife Saturday. Since they were going to see the Tropic thunder movie we went to a different one. The only one available around the same time was the Mummy 3. So we saw it against Amy's recommendation! It was ok. Not as bad as I was expecting, but not as good as the first two. I wish they would have had the same actress for his wife. Looks like Twilight will be coming out in a few months! I'm excited to see the movie, and I'm hoping I can drag Jeremy to see it with me. I would really like him to see it with me :) I was wondering what actor they would get to play Edward since he's suppose to be drop dead gorgeous. I'm curious who you all would pick? On one of our dates Jeremy asked me to pick my top 5 actors who I thought were really cute. I had a hard time thinking of any!

Jeremy takes the wheel for a moment

I just wanted the opportunity to express a few thoughts. Recently Tina and I were able to get away for a few days without the kids for a little vacation. It was great. We stayed in a nice hotel in Irving and wined and dined ourselves for 3 nights. We saw 4 movies and ate some good food. We were able to see the best movie of the year so far in my opinion which is "The Dark Night". This was a sweet movie. Christian Bale is great. Michael Cain is greatness. Aaron Eckert is always good. But the movie was really stolen by Heath Ledger's performance. He was truly masterful in this movie. He was brilliant. The movie was fantastic. I think the direction and mood they have established in the first two Batman movies is intriguing, interesting, fascinating and brilliant. I am more cynical these days and don't just stamp my approval on every entertaining movie. But this was truly great. We also saw the new Hulk movie. This is an underrated movie as well. It cant be at exciting as Batman because of the general story line but it was a good show.

As Tina blogged previously, I have been hired to work for Princeton ISD in the Junior High. This district was in my top 5 to work for because I have done some volunteer work with them in the past and I am familiar with the administration. We feel very blessed to have this opportunity. Those of you who have known me for some time, know I have pondered on what my occupation should be for over 10 years. I have put the matter to prayer dozens and dozens of times. After I got laid off from EDS back in 2001 I prayed about what I should do. My answer was to go to school, get my degree and be a teacher/coach. Well with the signing of my contract last week the entire effort was culminated. I am excited to begin. I have to give a shout out to Tina. She is a wonderful woman. Not many woman could have put up with me over the past 5 years. When it comes to jobs and college majors I can be very frustrating. I have constantly switched jobs over the years. Sometimes I have just quit jobs because I could no longer stand them, with no fall back in place. I have changed college majors over the past 5 years probably 15 times (this is not an embellishment). I have been admitted to graduate programs in the following fields: Criminal Justice, Criminology, Speech Language Pathology, Kinesiology, MBA and Accounting to name a few. It has been a source of embarrassment to me that I couldn't find anything I truly liked. She has stuck with me, without complaint, over the past 5 years when I was delivering pizzas, working for grocery stores, etc... Tina is not a material girl, which is one of the things that makes her great. She is happy with what she has. That is the way she was raised. Her parents did a great job. Anyway, I will turn the keys to the blog back over to Tina. Peace out.

Asher's Baptism

This past Saturday Asher was baptized! He looked so handsome in his tie, and was really excited!
We had lots of family come including Asher's grandparents from Oregon.



















When Jeremy dunked Asher underwater, one little kid said Whoa! I think it was because Jeremy wanted to make sure he went under all the way and kind of dunked him deep.
After all the pictures (which Asher was ready to be done after the first one!), we headed to our house for refreshments. We had chocolate pudding pie, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate brownies, and pumpkin pie. Can you guess what Asher's favorite flavor is?
We are so proud of Asher and thankful that he chose to get baptized!

Coach Scott

Jeremy is officially a teacher and coach!!! He signed a contract with Princeton ISD a few days ago! We are so proud of Jeremy! And we feel that we have been really blessed.
Jeremy has spent countless hours thinking and praying about what he should do for a career. We have thought of and tried almost everything, but Jeremy kept coming back to teaching and coaching. When he passed that social studies composite test that was a clear sign from Heavenly Father that hey you need to do this! And now He has blessed Jeremy with a great job!
He will be coaching girl's softball, volleyball, and track, and teaching Texas history!
We are so proud of you babe! I know what a difficult road this has been, and I am thankful that you won't have to worry about things anymore. I love you!

Back to good ol' Killeen!

My mom, Ayden, and I went to visit Amy and Preston again this past week. Even though Amy said there wasn't a whole lot to do there we found some pretty cool things to do! We got in our shopping on the first day. The Walmart there was so busy!
They have a really nice bounce house place in Killeen that I really wish we had here! Kids under one get in free, and all other kids are $8. We were thinking of just saying Ayden was less then one (a lie! Shame!) to not pay the money, but I decided I'd feel too guilty. The girl let us in for free anyway! That's one reward for telling the truth!
Ayden was scared at first. She whined and just wanted to play with the toys. There was a toddler area with a small bounce house and some toys and a gate! We all tried to take her to some of the bigger bounce houses to show her how fun it was. Ok, so maybe we just wanted a chance to jump too!
Here's the first few jumps with me!



















Here's with Aunt Amy in the cool sounding jungle bounce house, which turned out to be just a normal regular old bounce house.



















My mom took her on one of the really tall slides. Ayden wasn't so sure about it, and seemed glad to be done when they got to the bottom! Here they are on the rocking horse in the toddler area.














It was looking like a wasted trip, so I was glad we got in for free! I got the idea to just lay down in the bounce house and hopefully Ayden would follow me in on her own. That did the trick!



















No we're having fun! Ayden loves to bounce around and fall on our bed, so I knew she would love the bounce houses. She would have played all day if we could!
The next thing we did was visit the museum of Preston's unit ( I'm not sure what you call it!). I think it's called the 1st Calvary Division Museum. There are a bunch of tanks, helicopters, jeeps, and stuff outside. Asher would have loved this!
This is an old cannon thing!














Here's Amy and Ayden by a tank! It was so hot that we only spent 20 minutes or so there. I feel for those guys having to wear their full uniforms in that heat!














Our final outing was to Inner Cave Caverns in Georgetown. Here were these beautiful caverns just right under the freeway! Our poor tour guide had to deal with two whining little ones, Ayden and another little girl. After finding out she could walk around then it wasn't too bad!



















There were some really cool cave drawings! Ok, they were ones that someone drew in 1966, but they were still pretty neat!














Here we all are in the last room of the tour.














I figured it was a good thing to do on a hot day because it would be cool in the caves, but we were stilling sweating up a storm! It was very humid and I would say cool/hot if that makes sense! I was blowing on Ayden to keep her cooler.














Then a quick visit to the gift shop for souvenirs. And a cute picture! Howdy ma'am!














We also went out to eat a few times. Amy said the food wasn't as good here and I have to admit she was right. Glad to say the biscuits at Red Lobster were still the best! Ayden would say the same, her belly was so full! I think she ate two biscuits on her own even after her regular meal! She's a little piglet!
I really enjoyed the visit! I hope when you guys move that I'll get to come visit there too! Thanks Amy and Preston!
And I have to agree with Preston. The night is good when you end it with Mike! (a reference to Dirty Jobs! Love that show!)

Family Fun!

For the 4th of July we split the day and visited Jeremy's family and mine. We went to Jeremy's family first. We swam in the pool and ate. The fajitas were fantastic! Jeremy is so good on the grill and the marinade was really good! Jake did good grilling the veggies too!














Here's Travis, Asher, and Gavin playing with the remote control helicopter. It was really cute to watch Gavin fly it! He already knows how to use the controls! The boys played their pool baseball game, and Asher was really proud that his team won! He hit the ball pretty good, oh and so did Jeremy :) I took Ayden for a swim, but as always she would rather walk around the pool.
Then it was off to Josef and Jenny's house for more grilling and visiting!














This is the backyard. They bought one of the patio furniture sets I was interesting in from Walmart! It is really nice! Ayden and Asher had alot of fun playing in the backyard! It makes me really want to get ours the way we want it, but that will take a little time.














We didn't go anywhere to see fireworks, but I think we saw all the ones from every city around us on the way home. There were about five shows we could see! Since we weren't allow to do real fireworks this year, I bought some poppers. Asher got scared last year when Jeremy threw a smoke bomb thing into the truck where he was sitting. This year he burned his hand a little bit when he did a popper. So he probably won't want to do any kind of firework type thing next year! We had a busy, but fun day! Hope you did too!

Happy Birthday Asher!

Ok, so we really celebrated Asher's birthday last weekend, but I'm just now getting time to write about it! Friday the 28th was his real birthday, so we ate cupcakes real fast before he went to spend the night at a friends house.



















I started on the cake a few days before the party, so I wouldn't have to make it all in one day! That would be a really big project! Here it is, the famous castle cake!














The color scheme was Asher's request! I had to change a few of the candies because Asher doesn't like white chocolate or gum drops :) I think it turned out really good!
We invited 7 boys to the party, and had it at our neighborhood pool! It was really alot of fun! The boys mainly played their favorite pool game, king of the mountain! I think Jeremy only had to break up one fight. Boys!! I also had some pool games to play and candy prizes to win. The rest was swimming and fun!




























Those kids can't get enough of that pool! Even when we were done with the party, Asher stayed with a friend and swam some more! I thought the party lasted for about 3 or 4 hours, but when I settled into the car it had only been 2 hours and 20 minutes! It certainly felt alot longer to Jeremy and I! We are glad everyone (friends and family) could come! I think Asher really enjoyed his party! And even though it took some work, it was alot of fun to plan!!

Dollar Dollar Bill Ya'll

Yesterday I went to Walmart to get a few things and do a little looking around. Jeremy is so sweet to give me a break and let me just go take off and get away for awhile. I've found out about a few websites that tell you about coupons and free stuff. I actually got a box of cereal for free!
So after I got all the stuff and was about to leave the store, I passed by the book section. Usually I don't stop there, but I've been wanting to get a book to read, so I figured I'd see what they got. As I was leaving the aisle, I saw a folded dollar bill on the floor! As I looked closer, I saw that it was a twenty!! Some people were passing by in the main aisle after I saw it, so I waited for them to pass and hoped they wouldn't see it. They didn't. I picked it up and immediately called Jeremy. I didn't know exactly what to do. I wanted to keep it, but I felt like the right thing was to give it to Customer Service and have them try and find the owner. When I have a conflict like that - what I want vs. what I think I should do - I ask Jeremy! I do it hoping he'll tell me to do the thing I want to do :) It makes me feel better about it if he says it's OK. He told me if there wasn't anyone around which there wasn't, then take the money and run! Just kidding. He did tell me to keep it, so I did. We'll use that money for a date!
I'm curious as to what everyone else would have done!
As I left the store, I was thinking watch me end up on one of those secret videos. The news station will do a piece on dishonest people and there I'll be picking up the $20.

Cuties!

I realized I didn't post anything for Father's Day, so I just wanted to share some pictures of Jeremy!














Jeremy always makes the greatest faces for pictures! Asher helped me wrap the gifts. One I showed him just to make sure it was something that he liked. The other (a BBQ mop thing) was a surprise! I'm still waiting on those BBQ ribs babe :)














We are so blessed to have Jeremy! He is a wonderful husband and father! He gets up some mornings at 5am to go to work just so we will have the things we need. We love you sweetie!
Our dads are great too! They are always there to love, help, and support us. Thanks dads!
Yesterday Jenny, Josef, and Sofia came over for dinner. I had to snap a picture of the two girls!














The cutest little girls!

No boys allowed!

This week Ayden and I were able to visit my sister Amy with my mom and Sarah. It was alot of fun! I wasn't ready to come back home!















Here we all are! We did alot of shopping. In fact, we were all shopped out after the second day. When I was in high school, I used to go shopping at the mall every weekend, but now I can only take so much. I'd probably do it more if I could find cute things at the price I want! (I love finding bargains.) I finally found Ayden a nice pair of sandals. Payless was having a buy one get one half off sale, so I had to get me a pair of flip flops!
We only went out to eat one time at TGIFridays. I have been wanting to see and taste something from their cheap menu. Their parmesan chicken dish is delicious! The balloon lady there saw Ayden and came over to make her a balloon.














It's a heart with a bear around it. Very cute! I should have given her a tip, but I thought I only had change. I would feel even worse if I only gave her 50 cents. It was funny because her tip jar suggested a tip of $2,345.45 or something like that :) I'd like that tip too!
We also watched a couple of girly movies. There just happened to be the same actor in both movies! I guess I can add an underrated movie to my list...Step Up! I don't know why, but I really like that movie. I always have a hard time not dancing around while watching it!
Amy and I also made some picture matte things to go around the Living Christ. It turned out really good.














The last day we were there, we went swimming at one of the base pools. It brought back alot of memories of when my mom use to take us when we lived on base. They still have adult swim! For those who don't know, about every 15 min. they have the kids get out of the pool so the adults can swim laps or whatever they want! As a kid you don't like it, but now that I'm an adult, it was great! Before we left, Amy made Ayden a cute hat out of the swim diaper!














Too cute! Thanks Amy for getting the pictures to me! I thought I was doing real good and had packed everything! Unfortunately, I did forget the camera. It's amazing how much stuff you need for a little girl! It's all the just-in-case stuff! Thanks to mom, Sarah, and Amy for help during feeding time and all the time! They all stood in for the highchair :) Amy also had to entertain sometimes with her awesome dance moves and singing! I also got to take a shower without keeping an eye on a baby! Not that Ayden is difficult at all. But it's just nice you know?
I'm still in the glad to be home, but wish I was still on vacation mode. It's nice to have days where you can just do whatever you want whenever you want. Don't have to clean the house, do the laundry or anything like that! Plus you can just do girl things without worrying if the guys want to! I can't wait until the next visit! Thanks for having us Amy!

Birthdays, Bouts, and Babes

Last Saturday we had a little birthday celebration for my Mom!














We made pasta salads for dinner. I chose to try one called the best pasta salad. That's right, it wasn't! It's actually still sitting in our fridge! No one wants to touch it :) Ok it wasn't that bad...
I made Jeremy's famous pasta salad this time and to everyone's delight it tasted like he made it! My mom made broccoli and artichoke salads which were both delicious. My mom's favorite cake is cheesecake, so I made one from scratch. I have the clueless baker cookbook and most every recipe I've tried has been really good. I made the cheesecake, and it turned out really good! Thanks Clueless Baker :) After we ate, it was off to the pool. The boys played and the girls chased after Ayden! She goes non stop, and she prefers to walk around the swimming pool then being in it. It was nice to have family over. I hope your birthday was wonderful mom! I love you!
I was a little disappointed that Josef, Jenny, and Sofia couldn't come. Ayden caught hand, foot, and mouth disease! Yikes! It sounds awful, but it's actually just a little viral infection. After almost week of total grumpiness and screaming and crying, Jeremy told me to take her to the doctor to see if he knew what was wrong. I tried to rack my brain trying to think of all the things that happened and could possibly be wrong. I don't know about you, but I tend to ramble when I'm trying to explain what's wrong. I have no idea what details are important to the doctor, so I tell them everything! I've even had an optometrist tell me to be quiet! (I didn't go to him anymore!) Anyway, he said Ayden looked like she was nearing the end of the infection and just to give Tylenol if she was gruumpy. I felt really bad! With this disease the baby's mouth gets painful and sore from little blisters inside. I was putting salt in her food (like normal), and almost forcing her to eat her food. I felt so bad! I wish I would have known what was wrong sooner, so I could have alleviated the pain! I still feel horrible! Thankfully Ayden is pretty much back to normal now! Here's a picture of her in her Elmo chair.














I finally got to watch the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants! My mother-in-law took Asher out for the day, Ayden was sleeping, and Jeremy was working. It was the perfect time for me to watch my girl movie! Jeremy will not watch it with me! I thought it was very good! I was thinking it would be more teenage girl type stuff, which was in the movie, but they also all learned important lessons. So anyway, I really liked it! If anyone has any suggestions of other I should watch, I would love to hear them!
