Alrighty Cinda, you have to go see Star Trek. Yes the new Trekky's are easy on the eyes and there some good stuff. i really liked it. I'm sure Tony would do some extra laundry around the house if you suggested going to this movie with him.
my kids love lots of those! especially the bear hunt, anything with bears and guns...they're all over! boys.
lovely family!
