Elli's growing up and meet Madison!

I just got a new Billy Banks Tae-Bo DVD, every morning I wake up early put it in the DVD player, grab a cup of tea and settle into my easy chair, I haven't lost any weight yet, but with the sweat I work up just watching...........its only a matter of time.

I love the 18 month old stage, thats where Elli's at right now, She is still very much a baby, but she has a decided independent streak, for example, she doesn't walk anymore, she "Swaggers"
She is a somebody and she knows it. She loves to come up for a hug out of the blue and sometimes she just hangs on and doesn't want to let go, its okay I don't want to let go either. Having kids is definitly a dangerous thing to do, having children means you don't ever want them to get hurt, you don't want them to see the sad and horrible things that can and do happen in this life, I am not exactly the throw myself in front of an oncoming train kind of person, but if it meant saving one of my kids I'd do it in a heartbeat (lol kids make us suicidal in more ways then one:) but anyway it always breaks my heart to see that baby fat melt away and instead of clinging to your hand for dear life at the park, they take off like you never existed.

On a happy note, we got a new baby! Her name is Madison, she's a calico sweetheart with long legs and big beautiful ears, if cats walked the runway in Paris, she'd be on it.

Why oh why is there in internal server error everytime I try to upload pictures?

Conference and other Stuff

Its hard to wrap my mind around President Monson, being President Monson:) I liked Elder Christofferson ( I hope thats how you spell it). There were lots of great talks as always and a couple of really, really good ones.
Cindi and I took a billion quizzes yesterday, I found out that I am a "Hapless Extra" like in Star Trek:_ Cindi is a "Damsel in Distress".
I Don't have hardly any pictures of Everett on here so I need to post a couple tonight.
Alice totally is addicted to Skippy Jon Jones, they are pretty good books.
The snow is melting, but at such a rate that we still might miss summer altogether.

My mind is a total blank tonight, so thats all I've got.

Sometimes I feel like a cook, most of the time I feel like toast. KA

Ok so if we lived in medeviel court times, Harry would be King, he is a very Kingly cat, George would be the Court Jester and Captain of the guard, he would slay 'em with his doggy jokes:) and Gracie would of course be the Princess, as she is delicate and sweet
Long Live King Harry!

no one likes this but me:)

OK I really like how this conversion turned out, but I seem to be the only one, the trouble with it all is I get bored so quickly with traditionally processed photos.
Oh well

Rants

Hello, I have been sitting her thinking about posting, but my brain is so scrambled lately, oh well.
I have been miserably sick for a week now, today I feel loads better although my throat is so very raw and I have a lingering headache. I'll survive.
Laying here in bed for the last couple of days, I have been surfing around on the internet and I have noticed one subject, one trend thats on every board, my Photography forums, the Large family forums, my LDS forums, News forums and a couple of other forums I visit, the thing is EVERYONE believes there is this change coming to America, most are scared and see it as a bad change (ie: high gas prices, higher everything else, the coming election, healthcare ect.) its seems everyone is fed up (republicans and democracts, but for the wrong reasons:) I guess what I see is an anxousness (is that a word?) people of all affialations are worried. The most suprising thing to me is how many people I see that are worried, sure there are a few who say, its all going to be okay, but I dunno..........
On another slightly (ok very) funny note, all this surfing has shown there there are two kinds of people out voting for a democrat, the ones that HATE Obama and the ones that HATE Hillary, why is this funny, because if anyone would bother looking you would see they have the same issues,with only very very minor differences they will shape America the same way. I resign myself, I will not be voting this year.

Since we are being depressing today, They are going to close down my kids school! NOOOOOOO! Okay there are a little less than a hundred students, so they say, cuts have to be made why not just close our school , so all the cuts are in one spot, I say why does our district need four superintendents? Why not get rid of a couple of those first, I can think of a dozen ways to cut costs without actually closing my school, I love that school, I love the quality of education. I am am very very upset. My kids will get bussed over to the nearest Elementary school that has already three hundred and fifty students, I am not happy and will be calling the school board for more information on Monday.

Alices new thing to say is: "Do you want to give it a go?

My cat loves me:)

100th Post Yea!

So this is officially post One Hundred. Whoopie Pie:)
Caleb is teething poor chap, fussing and crying nonstop, I was walking with him (yesterday) he was fussing and I couldn't get him to stop for anything, I tried everything and was getting frustrated, anyhow I burped (yea I know, gross) and he stopped crying looked up at me and grinned, it was kind of shocking really, because of course I didn't burp on purpose and as soon as I did he just stopped crying and laughed at me, interesting I am going to have to learn how to burp on purpose.

I was in Walmart yesterday, without any kids (:)) I was browsing the kids section, when this poor lady walks past me, her daughter screaming at the top of her lungs ( I felt sooo bad) but see this is were it gets good, just as she was walking past me with the kid crying at the top of her lungs, the song "Let her cry" (Hootie and the Blowfish) comes on, lol I had to laugh, which I did out loud because it was just so funny and hey I have had that happen to me wayyyy to many times and its NEVER funny when its happening to you.

Hmmm there was one more thing but its totally gone now.
Oh ya this isn't it but something else I remembered, Scientists are now saying that instead of a global warming we are in fact experiencing a global COOLING, lol I soooo told you so:)

Some words of Wisdom, from my second fravorite cat: Garfield

Good times are ahead! Or behind. Because they sure aren't here.

I'll rise, but I won't shine

How about some Homer Simson?

Remember as far as anyone knows, we're a nice normal family

What do we need a psychiatrist for? We know our kid is nuts.

To Start Press Any Key'. Where's the ANY key?

When I look at the smiles on all the children's faces...I just know they're about to jab me with something

Don't worry. Being eaten by a crocodile is just like going to sleep. In a giant blender.
