TOY STORY 4 Teaser Trailer



I am so excited to share with you that Woody and the rest of the toys are back for an all-new adventure in “Toy Story 4,” welcoming new friends to Bonnie’s room, including a reluctant new toy called Forky. “Like most people, I assumed that ‘Toy Story 3’ was the end of the story,” said director Josh Cooley. “And it was the end of Woody’s story with Andy. But just like in life, every ending is a new beginning. Woody now being in a new room, with new toys, and a new kid, was something we have never seen before. The questions of what that would be like became the beginning of an entertaining story worth exploring.”
But Forky insists that he is NOT a toy! An actual spork-turned-craft-project, Forky is pretty sure that he doesn’t belong in Bonnie’s room. Unfortunately, every time he tries to get away, someone yanks him back into an adventure he’d rather skip. “The world of Toy Story is built upon the idea that everything in the world has a purpose,” said Cooley. “A toy’s purpose is to be there for its child. But what about toys that are made out of other objects? Forky is a toy that Bonnie made out of a disposable spork, so he’s facing a crisis. He wants to fulfill his purpose as a spork, but now has a new toy purpose thrust upon him.”


Filmmakers called on comedian Tony Hale to provide the voice of Forky. “It’s a huge thrill to be part of the Toy Story family,” he said. “But it’s going to take a while for it to really sink in.”

Remembering October 1, 2017


October 1st, 2017 is a day that will live with me forever.   I will never forget waking up to the horrific news right in my own city.  This weekend, let's take time and remember those we lost and appreciate the time we have with each other....



We just got back from the most amazingly beautiful vacation!! We celebrated my birthday in Oahu and loved it so much we are literally already planning next years trip! We stayed on the North Shore to get away from the crowds a bit.  Stayed in an AirBnB right across the street from a private beach and had a local's home all to ourselves.  It was just beautiful and literally cannot wait to go back! We have been back less than a week and it's definitely been an adjustment trying to get back in the swing of things! Catching up with you guys, getting ready for the school year (we home school), gearing up for sports season with the kids and getting some study time in myself, I've been overwhelmed a bit, but WILL get there :) Have a great weekend, I'm heading to a body of water - I miss it already!
