Vote

We didn't really talk much politics with our kids because they are a little too young for too much. So I was amazed with how interested they were and how excited they were. Belle and Xave came home from school talking about the election and wanting to make sure we voted. Belle and Xave both really liked Obama and talked about how he is awesome and plays basketball. I said what about McCain and Xavey says you mean that old dude? lol So after their discussion after school Dax came up to me and said what is in the above video. Too cute!!!

I also have to say that I am so thankful that I can vote! I read through stories of woman who couldn't vote for a long time and when they pressed the issue they were beaten, put in jail and some killed. I am so thankful for these woman for fighting for me and I will not take my ability to vote for granted.

Sibling pics 2008

We have a tradition around Thanksgiving time to take new pictures of us "kids" We have a great time doing these and laugh and laugh all the way through them.

Closer... Closer.. Oh, a little too close... What movie was that quote from?? Alissa ready to paint her toes. She is such a girl! She gets so excited to do this and holds very still. She struts around afterwards knowing that she is pretty. Awwww.... Heaven Let's do the chicken dance everybody Andrea's pretty toes Um... It looks like I had a lazy morning and a surprise call from a sister and just crawled out of bed to come lol But what a way to start the day!!

Bedroom Makeover

Ever since I have moved into my very own home I have been wanting to paint and decorate! I finally was able to get the paints to make this house my house!! I didn't even have to ask anybody if I could do it or not!! I JUST DID IT!! :o)

The room before had grayish carpet, gray walls and then with my Dark bedding I have to say this was a very dark room. So these of course are the before pictures.
AFTER I was so happy to find this bedding at Fred Meyer!! I bought the sea foam paint to match for the walls an then wanted the dark chocolate for the "headboard" The blue squares behind the bed were inspired by my Aunt LaVonne's plates. She was an incredible potter and artist. She even has a pottery place in Baker City dedicated in her memory. I thought this was an awesome way to display them. I am now very happy in my bedroom and it no longer feels dark and drab but light and happy. I still want to put a chocolate bench in front of the bed and a rug to go under that with both colors in it. Watch for updates, Alissa's princess room is next to be complete then on to the other kids and the downstairs!!! Tons of fun work ahead of me!!!

Food

So many of my friends and family on here post what they make so I decided to post mine. :o) Here is some oatmeal that I made from scratch and NOT from a package lol I also added chopped apples, cinnamon and ground flax.

I have also been a vegetarian for over a month now. I decided to do it to see if I felt any different because of what I read about meat. I do feel great and most of the time just like I used too. I now feel empowered every day by my will power and also knowing that in my own little way I am helping the world without even leaving my house. I have also never eaten so many veggies!! I have gotten very creative with how I cook them up! Thanks Sarah for all your help you gave me!!

Charity Gala

Shan and I had the oppurtunity to go to a Charity Event to benefit the Holy Rosary School. I loved being able to dress all up fancy. I have not been this dressed up since my wedding so it has been a long time. The auction raised a lot of money and we had a great time with our friends too!!
