Marvel's The Avengers!!

"And there came a day, a day unlike any other... when Earth's mightiest heroes found themselves united against a common threat... to fight the foes no single superhero could withstand... on that day, The Avengers were born."



So, I have been sitting on this post all week! Today The Avengers came out! BEST MOVIE EVER!!! Seriously! I saw it Monday at a press screening and we took the kids today when they got out of school. Perrin LOVED it and quite a few times, we had to remind him that we were not alone in the theater and to quiet down! LOL. He really gets into his movies!! We saw it at the Galaxy Highland movie theater, which by the way, is one of the best theaters to watch movies at. The theater is very clean, staff is extra friendly and they have DBOX seats. If you don't know what those are, let me fill you in. They are seats that move along with the movie!!! It's showing the Avengers in DBOX right now too!! Well worth the price. 


So back to the Avengers. It's action packed and many jokes sprinkled in. Loki is back and is badder than ever. Along with the Tesseract, Loki thinks that he will be the new king of Earth. Loki declares war on Earth and we are defenseless, or are we??? Enter the Avengers, one by one, the team falls in. There are some hiccups with every one trying to get along. Eventually every one comes together for the most epic battle ever. I am trying not to give too much away! Will the good guys prevail, or will evil conquer all? There is only one way to find out! Seriously, this is the best movie of the summer, and it's not even summer yet!!




By the way, please stay all the way until the end of the credits. There is one scene halfway thru the credits, setting up a possible sequel (which I hope and pray is made!!!) but there is another one all the way at the end. You will not be disappointed! Very funny scene. Thank you Joss Whedon for making the Avengers more than I could have imagined! 




AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!!!

Avengers Assemble!!!

So, my husband and I were lucky enough to go to a press screening of the new Avengers movie on Monday. No Spoilers, I promise. I can not release a review until Friday but I must say it was AWESOME!!!!! Best movie ever! It has everything! Action, adventure, comedy. I can't wait to see it again and again. It doesn't seem to make a difference if you see it in 3D or 2D. 3D was cool but I'm sure it is still super awesome in 2D. The one hitch in my plan was we had to lie to the kids. If they had know that we went to the Avengers before them, all hell would have and would currently break loose. I have had to hide my ubercool Thor 3D glasses as to not give myself away. Haha. What did we tell the kids we were doing? We said we say Titanic 3D. Lol. So until Friday... Here are some clips to hold you over.

Update on EEG

Perrin went into the hospital a couple of months back for a long term EEG. Hooked up to the monitor for 3 days. Unfortunately, it yielded no results. We have an appointment with our Neurosurgeon next week, so I will be writing down some questions to bring with me. Here are some cute/sad Perrin pictures from our "adventure" of the EEG. 

New step for Perrin!

So, Perrin hit a new milestone today, one which he totally took in stride and it didn't even seem like a big deal. He went on his first "solo" birthday party. Just him and 4 of his friends from school and his friends dad. They went to the Lego store at the mall and the ate at the food court and came home. He was so excited to go and it was good to see him stretch his wings and not feel different, nervous or shy! I have to say that he has a great group of friends.

It's always something isn't it?

I know we haven't updated in forever, but we have been dealing with some crazy stuff lately. Perrin has been having some issues in school. He has been having some dazing spells, unable to repeat simple directions, and forgetting where items he uses everyday are. Also, 2 weeks ago, he forgot how to use his pencil. Weird huh?! Well, I've been in contact with both his neurosurgeon ( who suggested an ER visit, complete with CT scan and shunt series X-rays. All clear by the way.) and his neurologist. His neurologist referred us to the video EEG unit. So for 3 days, Perrin will be hooked up to monitors on his scalp and chest. Luckily, he can move around the room, he just can't leave the room. Unluckily, he can't leave his room. Plus, he will be impatient at the hospital for Valentine's Day. That kinda makes me sad cause he is going miss his party with his friends. The upside to his stay is that his room has a tv, DVD player, wifi and a Wii! He was most excited about the Wii and has picked out his 2 favorite games to take with him: Captain America and Star Wars : the force unleashed. Plus, Star Wars Episode 1 in 3D comes out the Friday before he goes in so I know how we will be spending the the weekend before, I'm sure. Hopefully, this gives us an insight on what is going on in his brain and let us deal with what is shown on the outside. Even if the test comes back with seizure activity, we will take this one day at a time. He is still my sweet little boy. Nothing, I mean nothing, will change that. No matter the diagnosis, I will always be there to help him and guide him thru his life, no matter how confusing. I will update more when the testing starts, I promise!

Walt Disney World for Perrin's Make-A-Wish Trip! Star Wars Weekend!

There is just sooooo much to write about here. Perrin picked Star Wars Weekend at Disney World for his trip. It was one of the most wonderful experiences that we all have had.

   We were flown out to an awesome place called Give Kids the World where they put us in a little house for stay. There was so much to do there, but Perrin was ready for Disney, so we headed out. 

  I don't even know where to start in regards to Disney. We spent two days at Hollywood Studios because that was where all of the main Star Wars stuff was.  We didn't even get to see half of Disney while we were there because there was just so much to do! A perfect reason to go back one day. The Star Wars stuff alone was amazing. Disney went the full mile and then some. 

  Perrin got to meet Chewbacca and ride a speeder bike. He met so many characters from the movies. His little brother and sister went crazy running around trying to get autographs from different character and actors. They got to do Jedi training and Perrin fought Ventress and won. Julianna got to meet Ashoka and Perrin met Rex and Cody! 

  Perrin got to do lightsaber training with Ray Park, who was unfortunately unable to meet him after. He did get to meet with Jeremy Bulloch though. Jeremy was so friendly and kind to Perrin that we were automatically fans. He let us video tape him and everything. 

  On to Star Tours. OMG. One of the coolest rides ever. Perrin must have ridden it at least 14 times! Then they got to walk in the Star Wars Parade with the celebrities. Julianna walked with R2! After that they enjoyed the Hyperspace Hoopla. 

  I didn't even get into the rest of the time at Disney. It was fantastic. It was magical. It was more than we thought it would be. The staff was amazing. The rides were awesome. I wish we could have remembered some of the names of some of those who really helped Perrin. They added so much to the experience. Thank you to all of them. Thank you Disney World!
