Mom....Photos for You!!!

Pictures from Autumn's family birthday party.

Shortest Political Thought for me EVER!

So, I'd post a link, but any news site will have an article stating that a judge over turned the ruling in California that same sex marriage was illegal. So, what's next? Marrying your cat....or your donkey?

Autumn Turns 7!!!

What a crazy busy summer we've had. Curriculum fair, VBS, Centrifuge and both my girlies' birthdays. We celebrated Autumn's 7th birthday with my parents last weekend. Chuck E. Cheese, cake and presents made a super fun kick off to her week long birthday celebration. Two more parties to go and we can officially start her 7th

year :)

Statistically Speaking!

Recently the AFA called for a boycott on McDonalds.....oh, and if you're not into AFA's agenda, then check here for another source. Just want to make sure I cover all my bases :)

I have been touting these statistics for a few months now, but I've yet to show my proof. Well here it is. Less than 2% of the population (roughly 4 million) claims to be GLBT, while 5.6% of the population (or 15.8 million) are Southern Baptist. So WHY do companies and corporations feel the need to promote and support the gay agenda? Why aren't they promoting and supporting the Southern Baptist agenda? Why do shows feel the need to have the courtesy gay couple, but feel no need to show the SB couple who attends church?

And one more thing, I'd love to know why we're considered discriminatory for being unsupportive of the gay agenda? Nobody calls the GLBT group discriminatory for not supporting the church. I don't want them to be denied any inalienable rights, but I also don't think any special privileges should be afforded either.

OK, there's my 2 cents.....yours?

Tons of Photos - One Post!

Cory & Chuck....he's getting big (Chuck, that is :)

The tadpole queen!

Tadpoles in the "pond" at my sister's!

My Kater Potater Now and Later!

Cayla, in the car, ready to go to Grams' house!

Autumn, so sad Cayla's leaving for children's camp!

Looks like trouble!

Campers!

Better later than never....Cayla's 9th birthday cake!

The super cute wooden stars Cory made!

Independence Day!!!

My top 5 reasons why the 4th of July is the best holiday: 1) Nice weather. In fact, it's generally down right hot and that's wonderful! 2) Picnics and/or BBQ's. We have an annual tradition of meeting with friends for a BBQ and we always have the best time.

3) Decorating made easy. Red, white and blue....If you've ever been to my house you know I love all things patriotic, so I'm already pre-decorated for Independence Day.

4) Fireworks! I always wanted a 4th of July birthday so I could have fireworks on my birthday. I love fireworks!

5) No gifts. Unlike birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas and Easter, Independence day is a full out party/celebration with no gifts required!

Happy 4th of July everyone! Remember to pray for our troops!

Start the Party!

The other day Cory was working out of town and I loosely made the comment, "Daddy's out of town tonight. We can par-tay." I soon realized I should have chosen my words a bit more carefully, because Autumn hounded me for the next two hours as to WHEN we were going to party. I tried in vain to explain to her that it's merely an expression and doesn't really mean you're having a party. She not only didn't understand, I'm pretty sure she didn't care. I had no other choice but to produce a party, and quickly. We went to the store to purchase their dessert of choice (doughnuts), and I pulled out some glow sticks and balloons, because what's a party without balloons?! We spent the evening helping Chuck get into the spirit (poor puppy), and stayed up late acting silly! It really was a great time. And when all was said and done, I think it met Autumn's definition of 'party.'
