Sliding was Cameron's favorite thing!

Today we went to the pumpkin patch with Cameron's preschool. It was beautiful out. The boys had a great time. This is our 3rd year going to Hunters Farm and we love it. They have animals to feed, a maze, big slides, and a wagon ride to pick your pumpkin. A fun day for sure!!

Cameron "The Clothes Monster"

Here are some pics of the past month that I hadn't had any time to post. A couple weeks ago the grandparents (Durbin), Uncle Mike and baby Nicholas came for a visit. The boys just adore little Nicholas. In fact Colten decided last week he is done with his binky and he wants to give it to Nicholas. Colten also got his hair cut by Grandma. He is getting so big!!

Seriously People, Wake Up!!!!!!!!!!!!

I find it hard to swallow that there are so many people who still just don't get it. What is wrong with people. I know if I can explain things to my five year old and he understands why John McCain is not good why is it so hard for adults to get it. Here is a guy who has changed his positions at least four times in one week. Then today he said let's postpone the debate to get this bailout done. Sure it would be a noble idea if he had ever sat in on any other economic meeting. It is all for political posturing. Phil Gramm is one of the people most responsible for getting rid of the regulations that got us here and he is still chair of McCains campaign? Please McCain, stop acting like you care about us Americans who are effected by all of these disasters that you and the administration you support caused. It is ridiculous!!!!! Two weeks ago he was for deregulation and now he is against it? Right. I am not going to choke down that pill. I can say that I never voted for Bush and I will never vote for McSame either. I actually care about education, health care, the environment, the economy and my children's future. Now, if you care about these things too then the answer is actually quite simple. As easy as 1+1 really. Vote Obama. If you care about rich people, oil, and wall street then vote McCain. Check out these videos above. Point proven..

First Day of Pre-K!!!!!!!!

So excited!
Posing!
Colten wanted to say cheese!
Cool new backpack

Sooo, we decided that Cameron could wait a year before going to kindergarten. We didn't realize how much everything over the past few years had impacted him emotionally. He is academically there, but we wanted him to have fun and not feel bad about himself for having a harder time with sitting and listening. We don't know what is going on in his little body and we'd rather figure it out at pre-k. He had a great teacher and we are looking forward to seeing her again next year. It just wasn't fair to rush him. Life is too short and you're only little once. He was so excited to go back to Sparkleberry's. We love his teachers there so much!!! They are the best. So here are his pictures from his first day back. We are so proud of him.

Sand In The City

Checking out the boats.

Throwing rocks

Shrek
Big foot
Cars
M&M's
Wall E

I meant to post this a couple of weeks ago. They have this event on the water front called Sand In the City. We went there at the end of the day. It was amazing what people did with the sand. Then we went and threw rocks on the beach. It was so nice outside.

Three Years Later

Here are some very powerful videos of the Katrina disaster now and then. Let's hope Gustav doesn't do the same. My prayers go out to everyone.

August 29th, 2005 The day Katrina hit. Wow really helpful.
And this could be our next president? I don't think so!

In the midst of a three year anniversary of hurricane Katrina we are faced with another potential disaster with hurricane Gustav. The complete and utter failure of the government with Katrina just resonates the message of what this current administration is all about. These pictures are proof of how little Bush and McCain care about the people in this country. If it wasn't for the kindness that lies within the American people nothing would have gotten done. This is what Barack Obama has been saying all along. That ordinary people can do extraordinary things. I realize that the Bush administration along with John McSame are doing there best to not look like fools once again. But let us not forget about Katrina and how little the government is still doing to help these victims. The people of New Orleans, Mississippi, and all over the country are the ones who have been doing the work, not the government.
