Tall and Spacious building come to mind

I thought I'd chime in on the latest political stuff from this last week. Ok, am I the only one that sees Obama for what he is? Is he not the popular 8th grader running for class president that promises things will be different if he's elected because he's going to give more recess's and pizza everyday for lunch! I mean come on, he has No experience running anything. Unfortunately so many Americans fall for his over the top shenanigans but please friends don't be mislead by the hype. Just because Britney Spear's set designer designed him a big fancy set does not mean he is qualified to be president. If you truly checkout Obama's record on issues it will make your blood run cold he is sooo extremely liberal. I do not trust him whatsoever and do not think he is anymore genuine then any other hollywood actor. As far as McCain he has never been my favorite but I do think that he tries to do his best and doesn't have to stroke his own ego all the time, picture Biden or Obama. I do really like Palin and think she is pretty great but do feel sorry for her kids. I am one of those that puts a babies life as my litmus test for all candidates so it is with out question who has my vote but it just amazes me as I watch TV that so many people truly know nothing about Obama but are willing to trust him with the presidency anyway. I don't think it will matter in the end if you are liberal or conservative there will be only one clear choice when you look at things like ethics, honesty, and experience. Well glad I got that off my mind. By the way Everyone should know that if you go to Settings on your blog you can make it so your blog is private unless someone knows your blogs name that way your blog won't come up if goggled.Feel free to leave your opinion about politics even if they differ from mine. I never mind a good debate:)

Creep'in and a Crawl'in

Sunday we stayed home from church because all of the kids were sick, at least we were getting it over all at once:) After the babies first nap I came downstairs and set her on the ground then all of a sudden there she went. All of her firsts have been on Sunday, even her birth! My sweet Addalyn is officially a crawler. I have no idea why my yellow wall looks pink!

Berry pick'in

Friday we went blackberry picking with my brother Brandon his wife Becky and their almost six kids! Jason had to work so he missed out on the fun.We decided to take a hike first and then got down to business. Only those that live in the NW can truly take for granted the abundance and often irritation of this berry. They grow like weeds here! Anyhow, the kids had a blast and it is nice to pick them for free. I should have taken a picture of of the kids hands and shirts but those that have kids or have been berry picking can imagine I'm sure. We ended up with three containers full. I had to quit because my baby is getting heavy and after more then an hour my back was about to break!

Good Find

Just thought I'd post and let you all know that Target has some new fun things in their $1.00 bins that might be cute for your kids Christmas stockings. They have Spiderman and Batman everything from socks to school stuff, Hello kitty jewelry and accessories , lava lamp night lights, bracelet making kits and baby stuff. Anyway I need to go back I was very excited. Christmas will be tight so finding good deals now will really help. Anyone that doesn't already know Morgan, our niece, has started a blog. I have her linked to mine. I am very excited that we will be able to include her in this blogging world. Ugh, someone knocked something over so I better go see what's up. If anyone else finds good stuff or has good ideas for Christmas please post them to me.

Frogs, Hiking and Teeth oh my

So I think we might be being infested by frogs. I have found two in my home in the last two days. I am not scared of frogs but when you see something out the corner of your eye crawling up your wall and it is at least three inches long you can't help but freak. Tomorrow is Jason's last test and then he is officially in the RN program! He received a B+ in Sociology and at least a B in math. I am sooo proud of him! This last weekend we were over 100 degrees and so we are very much enjoying the cool down lately we've only been about 70 and overcast yesterday ,today and tomorrow. It is beginning to feel like fall. Fall is my favorite time of year but I am always sad to end summer. Yesterday we went on a hike which was perfect ,other then Payten almost breaking her finger. I think Jason is finally starting to enjoy the outdoors a little more. We are so lucky to live so close to some of the best hiking in the nation so I am so excited that we might finally be able to take advantage of that. The kids had so much fun and it is always fun to see it through their eyes. The baby is moving all over all though she still hasn't figured out how to crawl forward. I am so fine with that though because I am not quite ready to have her completely mobile. I can't believe she is 8 months already. Her top teeth are almost visible when she smiles. Jackson lost his first front tooth on Friday. He stayed up until a little after 11pm tugging it out. The tooth fairy doesn't come that late in our home so she(he) came the next night. He looks so different with it gone. Anyway I'll post pics later.

Breaking Dawn

So I finished Breaking Dawn yesterday morning, ya I started after dinner on wed. I was not disappointed! I love me a happy ending and everything got neatly tied in a bow which might bother some but not me. I am so glad that I waited to read them until they were all out, it would have tormented me. I loved all the books the same because to me they each supported the other so I think of them as one big story instead of four books. I enjoyed that they were able to have a baby and everything that ensued because of that choice. I am being a little sketchy because I know not everyone has finished yet. I am still going over the story in my head and still feel connected to it. So i am in need of discussing it with others. Please people write me your thoughts I am not wanting to let it out of my system yet. I still want to dwell on Bella and Edward and "their lives". So please share your thoughts!

Team Edward!

I had my ten year high school reunion this weekend. It is always strange to remember my previous life. I won three awards which was slightly embarrassing, longest married, most kids and high school sweethearts. We did get some great gifts though! on to more important matters on Friday evening I broke down and began the Twilight serious and even though i read none on Sunday and only a little Saturday i am ready for the fourth book! I have been sucked in or bitten as I heard someone mention. I don't get Breaking Dawn until tomorrow so that is why I have free time right now. I won't discuss to much until I finish the last one. But just for the record of where I stand there is no team Jacob to me. I have heard arguments to the contrary but I do not think that Bella truly loves Jacob more then a brotherly love and if they had more time before Edward I do not think they would of ended up together. I think she only confused her "love " and concern for him with love love:) when I was young I thought i loved others but ended up realizing that it was just infatuation with them especially after experiencing the real thing. Well i have to wait till later to say more.
