Media Hates and Censors Ron Paul

I am so sick and tired of how the media treats Ron Paul. At one of the debates he was asked if he were electable and listen how they all laugh at him. I think he gives an excellent answer. When fox showed the rebroadcast of this debate...THEY CUT THIS OUT!!! Ron Paul is the ONLY one of the candidates who makes any sense in my opinion. Look how the other candidates treat him and you will see their true character. He never laughs at them and is always very respectful.

If the only news you are getting is from the national media then it is very slanted and you are not getting the whole picture. They pick who they want and that's all they promote. I'm so sick of hearing from them how ALL the evangelicals just love Huckabee. That is absolutely NOT true. You hardly ever hear Ron Paul mentioned when he has just beat out Thompson and Giuliani in Michigan. Oh...I thought they were front runners! What does that tell you people? Boy have my eyes been opened about the ways of the world lately!

Adventures in Poopville

I woke up to hear Joshey squeal with delight as he ran down the hall and I drowsily got out of bed. Walking down the hall I hear Justin say, "I changed his diaper for you" Oh how noble of him....I think to myself. He then added...."he pulled it off himself." Ah yes...he has entered the stage where he pulls his diaper off and likes to run around the house in the buff. Time to start the potty training!! Whoopee.

As Justin and I converse about where the potty chair is located, I notice one of my whole wheat scones has been dropped on the floor.....I bend down to pick it up....put my hand on it....wait a minute...that's not a scone!
....it's .....it's... "Eeeew yuck...Joshey pooped on the floor!!!!!

It gets worse...later that day I see a toothbrush laying on the floor. The bristles are all brown. I think to myself..We didn't eat chocolate today...what in the world. I pick it up and smell it...it has a familiar odor..no it's not scones. Eeeew......I wisk it away to the trash trying not to ponder all the possible ways this could have occurred. But I do know this gives a whole new meaning to the term "potty mouth"!!!!

Sign thief strikes again

Ok... I'm fuming mad! Last Saturday night someone stole my Ron Paul yard sign...AGAIN! Let's analyze this...is this random mayhem? No. There are tons of county constable signs plastered up and down my street. Do they steal them? No.

By the way....I hate to sound ugly but...who really cares who wins the county constable position? I was impressed that both of the men running for office did come to my door and pass out their info. I'm sure they really want the job, but basically this is just an elected police officer/security job. I don't really give a hoot who wins the position, now if he were a friend of mine, I probably would put his sign in my yard...I guess.

Now this is what I don't understand. Why am I the only yard in my neighborhood that has a presidential sign in their yard? Where are all the Hillary, Obama, and Huckabee signs??!!?? I just find it rather amusing that everyone seems to care more about who wins county constable than they do about the presidential race which is by far more important. Well... except the person that keeps stealing my sign....they care. They care because they know what is at stake here. They know Ron Paul means business and will bring about great change in this country...change that some people find uncomfortable. They must feel threatened by Ron Paul...they should. Just like the mainstream media who think they can squelch him by ignoring or attacking him.

Bring it on Mr. or Ms. Yard Thief...the more you steal my signs, the more it makes me want to fight for Ron Paul!!!

New Years Happenings

** I meant to post this earlier, but I could not get the video to work**

On New Years Eve Justin and I had a nice quiet evening together as the kids slept peacefully. Ahhhh....it was nice. Justin was so cute to make me up a little hors d'oeuvres tray to munch on. We also had cheesecake and a bit of wine to celebrate.

On New Years day we just relaxed and spent the day together as a family. We did have a little excitement and the kids had some fun acting out as you will see.............

Blackened waffles anyone?!?

Our family theater presents, A play, in one act:



Green Eggs & Ham

Galveston is Great!

After Christmas we took the most amazing trip down to Galveston with Memaw and Uncle Mike. Justin learned at the last minute that he was going to get time off at work and was able to go with us!!! We stayed in one of the camping shelters at the state park. The weather was cold at night, but we stayed warm and cozy with out electric heaters!!

We all had so much fun beach combing and collecting shells and other treasures. I had to put a baby leash on Josh to keep him from running into the water. On most of the days we were there it was in the 50's or 60's during the day but on the last day we were there it actually got up to about 75 degrees. Callie and James were begging me to let them wade in the water! Uncle Mike had already shed his shoes and was walking in the water and they just HAD to as well. So I consented and in their little toes went to squish between the mud. Slowly as the waves crashed in they got the bottom of their pants wet until they eventually ended up jumping in the water getting completely wet, having the time of their lives!!!

Each day we were there we went to see the sights at Moody Gardens. This place is so awesome!! It has three pyramid shaped buildings that hold different attractions. One building has the most wonderful aquarium. You walk through the aquarium and the fish are swimming over and around you. There were several sharks and many other forms of sea life. The kids really enjoyed getting to touch starfish and other sea creatures. They also had a huge penguin area and other aquatic animals such as seals.

The second pyramid was a wonderful rain forest with waterfalls, exotic plants, birds flying around, and other creatures. There was a sloth way up in a tree and other caged animals such as an ocelot and vampire bats lapping up blood!!

The third pyramid was a science museum that had an exhibit about music and instruments. I did not get to go see that one. But Justin, Mike, and Mom took the kids to it while I stayed back at camp recovering from a horrible migraine headache. Earlier that afternoon I took Mom out to eat at a seafood restaurant for her birthday while the boys watched the kids for us. We were going to have a nice mother daughter lunch when the migraine hit me. I could not even eat I felt so queasy. I had to go lie down out in the car while she ate her meal alone! I felt so bad. Then while I recovered they went to the museum and then on to ice skating!! After a couple hours of sleep I was completely better and scarfed down the yummy food I brought home in a doggie bag!!

We also got to see two IMAX movies! The first was a 3D movie about prehistoric sea creatures. It was wonderful. The kids were amazed at how they came out of the screen and seemed to be right in front of your face. James kept taking off his 3D glasses during the scary parts! I'm so thankful Joshey slept through the whole thing so I could really enjoy it. The second movie was a 4D version of Polar Express. The extra dimension gave us the experience of the seat shaking, flashing lights, having hot chocolate squirted in our faces and other water squirted at us. Poor Joshey got it right in the eyes! Not to mention...the hot chocolate smelled like dirty socks!

We also got to take a ride on a boat around the harbor and to see the most spectacular light display one night! We also enjoyed walking around at the shops in the downtown area. All in all it was a wonderful vacation. Mom bought us season passes so we will have to go back this year and get her moneys worth!!! There is so much more there to do and see.
