Dressin up

Right down to the sparkely pink shoes, my girl sure knows how to be a girlie girl.

I'm sure most of you remember the "Little People". Avery loves playing with Erins old set, especially the pop-up camper, go figure.

A Gamer Geeks idea of April Fools

Zelda Movie???

Clever? maybe a smidge. WAY too much time to be spent on an April Fools joke?...Indeed.

The Hunt

It's the day of the big Easter Egg hunt! The sun is out, it's nice and warm and we've done all the practicing that we can. It's time to put all that preparation to work.

Just going over the game plan one more time before the big show. "Pick it up, put it in the basket. Pick it up, put it in the basket."

The girl in the bunny suit was a bit of a surprise. They're pullin out all the stops. I didn't let it get to me though, I had a game plan and I was stickin to it.

Here's a fresh patch of good egg. No one else has found it yet, this is my chance. Yes, this is working out great.

No, A steal! That's ok, I just need to work for that rebound. Focus. They don't call it March Madness for nothin.

The final seconds... Running down the court... She shoots for the basket... And it's gooooood!

And to the winner goes the spoils.

A Lazy Sunday Morning

Avery really wanted to read the business section but she conceded because she knew that Mom really wanted to read this.

Great smiles.

This time.

38 minutes of your time can change your perception of and faith in this country for a lifetime. Watch for 38 minutes and this time things can be different. Turn it on and watch it while you fill out paper work or pay this months bills, while you eat dinner or drink your morning coffee. By the time you get half way through, your pen will be set down, your coffee will be cold and so will your dinner because these words are so engaging. That's ok though, because if enough people get this message we can all just survive on mustard and relish sandwiches for a little while.

This stuff is real. I am from a younger generation that did not experience the King's and Kennedy's first hand. I did not know what it meant to hope and believe that your country CAN be what you dream that it will. I know that feeling now.

No I don't think Barack is perfect, everyone has their faults. The difference this time is that he can admit that, and does. What I do believe is that this man can get us started on the right path that will bring us and our country where we want it to be, the place we all dream that it can be. A country that our children can be proud of and a time when our children can travel around the world, smile and be proud when they say I am an American.
