Oh yes, pirates. Pirates of the Caribbean 4-On Stranger Tides to be exact.  I like many other women out there is a Johnny Depp fan, and I love the Pirates of the Caribbean. Even as a pirate Johnny Depp is hot, dirty, tan skin, long dread-locked hair. H.O.T. Enough swooning and onto the good stuff.

Disney will be releasing the fourth installment to the Pirates of the Caribbean on May 20th this year. Along with some of our favorite characters like Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and Captain Barbosa (Geoffrey Rush)  and Gibbs (Kevin R. McNally) there are also some new characters that have been added to the cast. Penelope Cruz who will be playing Angelica is an old acquaintance of Jack Sparrows that forces him into helping her in finding the Fountain of Youth. This movie is sure to be full of action and adventure and of course a little bit of comedy thrown in.

  Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides is scheduled to be released on May 20, 2011 at local theaters.

One last peek just because. If that wasn’t enough go check out the movies facebook page!

Life right now is hectic. It may not seem that way for those that see me on a regular basis but inside I am going just a little bit crazy. We are moving soon. Really soon and it just hit me today that this is really happening. Don’t get me wrong I’ve known for a few months that this was real but the full extent of it has hit me and I may or may not be slightly emotional over it all. Right about now I am entering “freak out” mode. You remember the scene in The Exorcist when her head spins around?

Yeah that one. That’s kind of how I am seeing myself right now, except on the inside. LOL Okay all kidding aside (sorry I had to, that movie just cracks me up) I think it’s more the stress of what we are about to embark on and my worries of how every thing will affect the kids.
We have moved quite a bit in the passed few years. Eleven times in nine years to be exact. And no we are not military. For a while there it seemed to be our thing. But thankfully we have been where we are now for three years. In those three years my children have become very close to my family and taking them away from that worries me. We wont be able to just hop in the car and drive over there. Sure there will be phone conversations which trust me, I know how much those help but I still worry. I try not to stress over it to much because it’s not something that should consume me and I know we will deal with it, if it ever comes up.
So enough of the down side. On the up side.

I went and visited OU for my first time. Let me just start by saying the campus is absolutely GORGEOUS. So many of the buildings are built in the old time Gothic architecture which I find stunning. While we were there we went to the student store, I mean really, who goes to visit a college campus without buying some kind of memorabilia right! As soon as I saw this I couldn’t help but burst into laughter and of course I had to take a picture.

Boooo on Texas, yay Oklahoma. Okay maybe my football pride needs some work but it’s a start and since I have been informed that once we move we HAVE to become Sooner fans I will work on my football trash talking.
My husband says the library is beyond amazing. I cannot wait to go check that out on our next visit. The town is definitely different then any of the other places we have lived. It reminds me of DFW area but on a much smaller small town feel kind of scale.

I mean come on, isn’t that just beautiful! And that was inside town.
I am excited to be starting this new adventure in life with my husband and children. There will be an adjustment period but as we all know with moves that is normal. So bring on the boxes (I haven’t even started packing yet, ahhh) and come forth moving truck. I will tackle you and conquer this move and bring nothing but joy on our new adventure.

I always plan on keeping my ramblings to a minimum on my Wordless Wednesday posts but I usually fail at it. So here we go. Short and sweet WW.

My baby girl <3 Amy over at Resourceful Mommy has a WW linky if you are interested in sharing your WW post.

I love when my oldest is on breaks from school. He gets a chance to play more with his younger brother and sister and catch up on the time he misses with them while he is in school. And I just love watching the three of them together. I also get more cuddle time with my big boy when we stay up a little bit later and watch How the Earth is made together. He is completely fascinated by that show. For the most part my kids get a long great but just like adults, they have their moments so keeping them entertained is key.

Yesterday and today have been spent making crafts. Luckily my kids love all things craft related and will spend all day doing crafts if allowed. Yesterday my son decided he wanted to make a bible so we ran with the idea and here is what he made.

In case you can’t read his writing here is what each page said, going down, up to the middle and from the top right down again.
Cover-Made by Stephen 🙂
Page 1-Jesus was born in a manger
Page 2-Jesus died for our sins
Page 3-Jesus rose from his grave
Page 4-Jesus loves everyone

Now we are not the most religious family but to see this made my heart completely swell. He is a very curious little man and I love that he is curious in learning about religion and all that it encompasses.

Today was a more of a free for all craft day. My house is almost completely covered with masks.

My daughter requested a little book for herself so this is what we made together.

After lunch the kids and I went back to crafting while the little man had other plans…..

I am totally liking his plan and thinking a nap sounds mighty good right now!

I hope everyone is having a beautiful day <3

Being a mom you know when the kids are young quiet means primarily three things.

1.  They fell asleep.
2.  They are playing nicely
3. They are getting into everything but doing it quietly so you have no idea until you realize, wait a minute it’s awfully quiet. What are they doing in there?

So when I go to get the kids ready for bed and I don’t see my daughter sitting where she was five minutes ago playing with her dolls I automatically think, oh no, please don’t let it be a number three night. Thankfully it wasn’t and I am even more thankful that she has pretty much outgrown that phase. But worry sets in next. Where did she go???? Not in her room, not in my room, not in the bathroom. Hmmm not under the kitchen table (yes she has been known to hide under there). WHERE could she be?

I couldn’t help but laugh because my first thought was it’s like looking for Where’s Waldo. Can you see my daughter hidden in this picture in a room full of toys.

How about there? Yes that little blond thing curled up in a ball would be my baby girl. I love it when she falls asleep in random places and in the middle of playing with her barbies. I mean how cute is that.

  Guess what folks? Toy Story isn’t quite gone yet. On June 24, 2011 Walt Disney Studios will be releasing Cars 2 in theaters. I for one can’t wait to take my kids to see this. Still a toss up in our house who our favorite character is, of course it’s between Mater and Lightning McQueen. And guess what, as an added bonus they have brought back the gang from Toy Story 3 for a 3D animated short film called Hawaiian Vacation.

Don’t forget to check your local theaters on June 24, 2011 for play times on Cars 2. And bring the whole family because it’s sure to be a good time! You can also go like Cars 2 on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/PixarCars they have photos of all the original characters and new one’s.  They also have short clips called Cars Toons which are really cute.
