How old am I?

It's really quite scary when my kids and I listen to the same music. Who ever would have thought that I as a mom would like the young teens who start out on the Disney Channel?
First it was High School Musical Movies.... loved those soundtracks!
Then Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus and now it's the Jonas Brothers!
CRAZY!

Whenever the girls here the JONAS BROTHERS on the radio.... They get all excited!
Here is their video Burnin Up.
It will keep playing the next song until you click pause.

• Jonas Brothers
• New Music

What Sydney doesn't know - she is getting the Jonas Brothers CD for her birthday!

In other music:
Then there is Britney Spears..... Holy Cow! I have always been a fan of hers. Even through her hard times. Hoping she would pull it together! Well, she did for the MTV VMA's.
She WON.... Best Female Video, Best Pop Video & Video of the Year! All with this song below. I guess seeing the video I really heard the words. I knew I liked the song before but seeing this video I like it even more! And how amazing does she look in this video? Piece of Me

• Britney Spears
• New Music

I believe this will play onto her other songs as well.

And on October 24th will be the new movie High School Musical 3.... so I am sure we will get to know all those songs as well!

Yoga Retreat

Tomorrow... FRIDAY is the start of the Yoga Retreat at Pioneer Ridge Bed & Breakfast Here is a little history on the place!
This unique property was originally homesteaded in the early 1900's. In the 30's it was part of Roosevelt's New Deal (the plan to help Americans recover from the Depression) and was the home to a relocated family from the States. Our building was built in the 1960's and housed Fairview Dairy. In 1986, the 10,000 sq. ft. building was transformed into a warm and inviting B&B Each spacious, comfortable guest room is decorated with authentic Alaskana. Because we have much to do in and around our B&B we are TV FREE.
I just love this place!!! It's only about 10 minutes away from my house. The views are amazing! I'll be sure to take some beautiful fall pictures while I am there.
We will practice our yoga in a spacious room that has one full wall of windows to look at the mountains. It takes your breath away! I feel very fortunate to be able to attend all of Mary's yoga retreats. It's such a great time to be with friends, eat healthy and take care of me for a whole weekend. This will be the 5th retreat! They run from noon on Friday until late Sunday afternoon. Check out keeps getting later every year.... whoo hooo!!!
Since Bill is moose hunting, Scottie's dad (see picture below of Sushi Bob) and Julie has SAVED the day and will have Hailey + Sydney along with Trinity + Mikaela. I know the girls are going to have just as much fun as Scottie and I will. They've been talking about this since 4th of July when we made the plans.
There are no tv's at the B&B - but there is internet! So you know I will be checking emails and I may even post on my blog!!
Have a great weekend.....
Namaste

Sushi Bunco

I am in a FUN bunco group in Eagle River. Each month we volunteer to host a month. August was Kae's turn. She had bid on a sushi party last October at our MOMS Club bazaar and won. And her time was expiring soon to use it so she spolied us rotten and used it for our bunco dinner! The Sushi Chef is Bob Peterson. I am very familair with his work.... YUMMY! This is Scottie's dad! After retiring from being a bio chemist he went to sushi school. How fun is that? Anyway, he moved to Alaska about a year ago be closer to Scottie and the grandkids. Him and his wife Julie are so nice. I can't say enough nice things about them!
Bob didn't make anything raw, as per Kae's request. One of my absolute FAV'S is a creation of Bob's.... the Crabby Sara! (after his daughter - it's her FAV) And at this party he one upped it and made a SPICY Crabby Sara! SOOO YUMMY!!! It's a spicy crab salad - similar to how they prepare a CA roll. Then inside with the rice is tempura shrimp. Topped with avacado! And some spicy mayo on top!
Everyone had a GREAT time at bunco... we were all so full! Thanks Kae for hosting! And THANKS to BOB for another WONDERFUL MEAL!
