How I Love Thee...

Gotta have this!

Whew! What a weekend. I have cleaned the house from top to bottom. I decided to do this, because Kylie ended up sick with strep on Friday. I feel the need to sanitize, when strep invades our home! This post is on things that I love. I don't know what I would do without these items. Do you guys have anything that you love to clean with? I would love to hear about them!

Awesome!

What would I do without my Chi? It's for the clean up of Me!!

Lookie Loos!

Saturday Part One!

Jason and I woke up early Saturday morning, and decided we needed to try to find this movie set. We ate breakfast at the hotel, and then decided to find a trusty Starbucks. I do not do well with out my morning coffee. We actually found one! We ordered and talked to the woman making our coffee. She mentioned  that Denzel Washington was filming a movie nearby. The funny Starbucks lady told us that the filming was being done in a town 21 miles from Ruidoso. The town is called Carrizozo. Jas and I decided that there may be something to this rumor. The Starbucks lady told us that many of the local Ruidoso girls had headed to Carrizozo to see if they could be noticed. She called them, "Lookie Loos." We thought this was hilarious. We decided to become "lookie loos." We headed to Carrizozo. 

We made it to Carrizozo, and immediately noticed the street where they were filming. Jason decided to ask a highway patrolman if we could enter the set and take pictures. He told us, "no, they are filming all day and are not taking visitors." Jas decided that we should not take no for an answer and find another way in. I had a very determined husband on my hands! We found a way in by parking at the Carrizozo post office. We grabbed our camera and started towards the set. Jason ventured closer and closer to the set. I was a little more careful about getting to close. He actually went up to a lady security officer, and asked about the movie. I couldn't believe it. I was just hoping we would not get arrested. She told him that they had been working on the set for four months. It looked so awesome. The pictures do not do it justice. Jas asked if we would see Denzel. The Security lady told him that Denzel is very anti-social. He does not sign autographs or mingle. He does his scenes and then he leaves. So, We did not get any pictures of Denzel. :(  We were so glad that we went, and can't wait to see the movie!!!

The set was supposed to look like a bomb went off in a city.

They built on to the fronts of old buildings.

They were getting ready to film this armored car moving.

Jas even heard them say, "Action!"

We could see them making smoke off in the distance.

Some of the actors coming in from a scene.

I decided to give a shout out to my Red Raiders!

Jason thought these people looked important. He thought they might be producers.

Saturday Part Two!

My parents and the girls arrived in Ruidoso around 3:00. We immediately met them at the house my parents are buliding. We had such a great time. Jas had never seen the house and so we enjoyed walking around with the girls and taking pictures. My dad had made reservations for dinner. It was the perfect way to end our day. Thank you for our anniversary dinner dad! We had an awesome time!!! We look forward to making many wonderful memories with Nene and Papa at their beautiful home.      

We had such a great weekend. I was really thanking the Lord for allowing me to get away and be refreshed. I loved being able to spend time with Jas alone, and  then spending time with my parents and our girls. I needed that!!!! I hope that all of you had a great weekend, and that you have a great week!

We're in Ruidoso,NM!

Can you believe I am blogging from Ruidoso? Jason and I came to Ruidoso for our 8 year anniversary. We have some fun plans for tonight.  Laurie told me about a restaurant called the Texas Club. I think we are going to check it out. Jason is looking forward to having a delicious steak! 

When we got to our hotel, the front desk ladies told us that Denzel Washington is filming a movie here. They told us that it is called, "The Book of Eli." His stunt double and film crew are actually staying at our hotel! So exciting!!! I am going to try to get some pics of the set for you guys. 

The girls and my parents are going to join us tomorrow. We are looking forward to a fun filled weekend! I will have lots of pics and more to come!!

Happy Anniversary Honey!
