Christmas time is here!

So tonight we went to the Parade of lights with our friends the Gronke's . It was tons of fun but super cold. Bug looked so cute in his snow suit. He was having a great time and loved the lights on the floats and the MUSIC. He was dancing in his stroller with every band or musical float that went by.

Getting ready to go!!!

We also put up the tree and it is not doing well.  Bug is so into the ornaments that we have had to move them ALL to the tip top of the tree.  He also discovered CANDY CANES....  He has taken 8 off the tree since Sunday and has eaten them ALL.  He even got one down from the top of the tree by moving his rocking chair over to the tree and climbed up to the candy cane and stuck it in his mouth and came to me and said HUMMPH!! and walked away as if to say HAHAHA I got one and you can't have it.   Here are a few pictures of the tree.

SANTA!!!!!!!!

So the other day we took Cannon to Grand Junction to see Santa.  He was so not into it this year.  Lucky for us and him we had all the time in the world with Santa.  There were no lines and no one was waiting to see him after us.  So Bug walked up to him and wasn't so sure of him but after a few minutes of mom sitting with Santa and Cannon on my lap we got some "decent" pictures... Well that wasn't good enough for mommy, so we kept at it and eventually Cannon was giving Santa high fives and Knuckles.  So we sat him down one more time and got this picture.

I was happy with the end result I am not sure if we will be able to fool him with the Easter bunny though.

TWILIGHT!!!

History for the Historian!

OK so being a History major in College I sat and watched last night like the rest of America, Anxious to see what would become of the presidential race.  Though things didn't go the way that I wanted we did witness History.  We as a nation elected the first man of color to run our country.  This is also true, that we could have elected the first Woman to be our Vice President.  AMAZING because not more than 100 years ago Women as well as Men of color were not allowed to participate in the choice of our nations leader.  For Historical reasons I do believe we as a Nation have WON!!!  

As for me personally I am a bit worried.  I consider myself a fairly Highly educated woman and knowing what I know of the "Changes" that may occur I have to step back and wonder if Carl Marx had a Major influence on Obama in school.  It seems as if he took sections straight out of Marx's Communist Manifesto and used them for his "Change" ideas.  I am not saying that he is going to turn us into a Communist society but some of his platforms lead in a very socialist direction and quite frankly it scares the crap out of me.  I don't believe that I should have to pay for people who don't take the time and energy to find work...  I know that we are in a recession and that jobs aren't readily available but I also know that in my small town there are HIRING signs up EVERYWHERE!  I also don't want to lose the lively hood that I have now and the way I see the president elect going with Drilling and Mining on our own soil I am afraid that I may just do that.  Kris My VERY DEMOCRAT husband is also a bit tense about this now.  We have a nice life and I love my country but some things that have come to fruition recently are rather frighting to me.  

I didn't write this to offend ANYONE.  I plan on being very supportive of the President because he is my country's leader but I just needed to get my concerns out and after all isn't that what a blog is for.  

Thanks for listening.  

Halloween with the Hulk...

So these are the pictures from Halloween..  We had a great time and went from about 3pm till 9pm.  Bug was a bit tired to say the least.  He was so cute he would get candy from someone then go to the next place and take a piece of Candy out and give it to that person instead of taking their peice from them.  He was trying to share.   I really think he is going to like Halloween as much as I do.  YEA!!!  Hope you all had a great halloween too.
