Love with a new life

The most enjoyable thing that I love is the ability to meet with wonderful people and be part of a personal moment. Tim and I go to a networking group on Tuesday mornings, one of our friends in that group referred me to his sister, and I took pictures for them she referred me to this family, and I just love what we were able to get. Here are a few of my favorites...

This breathtaking little guys middle name is Dallas, if you are wondering why he is on a Cowboys blanket. His room is decorated this way, so I think it is perfect...

This last one is one of my favorites, I asked her if I could get a little smile and her Daddy told her to think about icecream and I think this is how I think about icecream too...

Phoenix Tea Party 2009

As one of the many Americans that are angry and frustrated with an out of control government. A government that over the course of the last few years have forgotten that they do not work for themselves, they work for us. They work for the people. This was a country founded on the ideas and principles of a government, by the people, of the people and for the people! I am so frustrated with what took place in the last few years of the last administration and now how ridiculous it has become with this administration. People in powerful positions that "don't understand the tax code", don't even pay their own taxes, and expect responsible Americans to bail out irresponsible people and companies. A President that made campaign promises, but them passed an omnibus bill with 9,000 pork barrel projects using tax payers dollars. A bill that most congressman admitting to not even reading.

With that being said, I was overwhelmed with the most peaceful but energetic display and unity amongst people in my own community. People who have something to say and came out in bus fulls to say it. (We even ran into our next door neighbors, not knowing that they were heading down there too.) They proudly waved flags, home made signs and kids were sitting on their dad's shoulders to see the sights. I am so glad that we went and my children were able to experience it. I don't want my children to believe everything I do, but I want to instill in them the power to take a stance and stand up for what they believe in. This is America!!! These are some images that grabbed my attention.

Griffin made sure that we got a picture of him on the fire truck too! Then we had to leave because Tim and Griff found their way into a cactus! Ouch!!

Share or not to share...

I didn't know whether or not to share pictures of this as it involves a certain almost 2 year old and just about all my underwear, but I thought it was just too funny...

I was taking a shower this morning and as I was getting out I saw little body in my closet...here is how the conversation went...

Mama, "Kenna, what are you doing???"

Kenna, "notin"

Mama, "Can you please get out of mama's clothes"

Kenna, "o-tay"

Kenna comes around around the corner of my closet and I see that Kenna has pulled out just about every pair of my underwear, and is wearing them all like beautiful necklaces. (Don't worry, they were clean) She was such a proud little girl...the conversation continues...

Mama, "Oh look at you!!" (trying hard not to laugh hysterically!!)

Kenna, "Kenna so pritteee" (pretty)

Mama, "Yes, Kenna is very pretty!"

Please get a good laugh and have a good day!!!
