Thanksgiving feast at Preschool

Here's a couple of pictures of Sydney dressed up for Thanksgiving at Preschool. She doesn't smile for the camera very often unless we tickle her.

Lindy's family picture

This was a really cold day so we weren't able to get our little family pictures because all of the kids were crying. We tried to get a picture of just our kids but they wouldn't stay still.

Halloween

Here's the kids in their costumes. We took them truck or treating at the church. We were going to take them around to our neighbors to show off their costumes but apparently no one on our street is home on Halloween. And there are no street lamps on our street so it's really dark. We got 2 trick or treaters the whole night. And of course I forgot to take pictures of the kids with their candy.

Sydney's Halloween Parade at Preschool

Sydney goes to her Aunt Sandra and Aunt Echo's pre-school. They had all the kids come out in their Halloween costumes while they introduced them. Some of the kids said something to do with their character and some were too shy. To my surprise Sydney said, "I'm princess Arora".

Savannah was eating an apple the whole time and handing the pills to my aunt Cindy.

Isn't it ironic

I saw this pic on one of the blogs I follow and I had to add it here. The irony...

The Mom & Dad song

Okay, so every night we do a bedtime routine for our girls in which we sing like ... hmm ... a lot of songs. Sydney will frequently request the song "For Good" from Wicked, but she calls it the "Mom & Dad" song because we had that song on a photo montage of the two of us. So, we were tired and the kids were ornery the other night so we weren't going to sing any extra songs. Sydney makes a request for the "Mom & Dad" song and starts singing it herself. What we didn't realize was that she knows all of the words!!! She's only 3 years old and she just sang the entire song word of word. So, she ended up getting her song, even though she was the one to sing it.

Proposition 8

I'm very annoyed with the LDS church being singled out, protested, and even boycotted because of our support for Proposition 8. Why is the LDS church getting the most attention when there was a whole coalition of religions that were supporters of traditional marrage. Bishop William Weigan, head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento said the following:

"Catholics stand in solidarity with our Mormon brothers and sisters in support of traditional marriage--the union of one man and one woman--that has been the major building block of Western Civilization for millennia.

"The ProtectMarriage coalition, which led the successful campaign to pass Proposition 8, was an historic alliance of people from every faith and ethnicity. LDS were included--but so were Catholics and Jews, Evangelicals and Orthodox, African-Americans and Latinos, Asians and Anglos.

"Bigoted attacks on Mormons for the part they played in our coalition are shameful and ignore the reality that Mormon voters were only a small part of the groundswell that supported Proposition 8.

You may blame the LDS church for proposition 8 for passing, but there was a lot more people involved than just us. Don't boycott Utah; boycott your own state, seeing how the majority of the people in California supported the proposition.

Gilmore Girls

So, if you remember the last season of Gilmore Girls you are probably still upset about the lame way that Rory and Logan ended.

Remeber... Rory was going to go off and follow Barak Obama's campaign as a reporter for some internet magazine instead of move over to California to be with the love of her life.

Well.... now there is a finally something positive with this presidential campaign. Now Rory's job is over and she can finally get married to Logan. Right? I mean come on why not? Why not have a TV movie where they finally tie in all of the loose ends? (of course that is if Logan hasn't moved on to someone else by now). What do you think?

Brain Power

So, I saw this video from 60 minutes about using the brain sensory to allow people with lock-in syndrome to use computers, move robotic limbs and wheelchairs. Its amazing. I never thought I'd see this kind of technology in anything but sci-fi movies. Check out this video: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4564186n

Visit to Old Main

We wanted to get pictures of the kids in their Aggie attire by the campus so we went up to Logan during UEA weekend. The pictures with Old Main actually in them didn't work out so well.

Sorry we weren't able to visit everyone. We'll have to visit another time. We miss Logan!

Sydney & Savannah are pretty good friends usually.








































Savannah did not want to get her picture taken.

Logan Temple

During UEA we went up to Logan to visit the temple and the USU campus for pictures.

Family Pictures

These are the dresses and little suit Lindy's mom bought for the kids for their family picture. It's difficult to get 3 kids 3 and under to pose for a camera. Especially since Logan can't sit up by himself.

Post Halloween

Ha! I'm looking at all of my friends' blogs and what do I see? A hundred cute pictures of their kids staring at me. And me with no pictures on my blog. Oh, we have pictures, but we have to find the time to attempt to post them. Sydney dressed up as Sleeping Beauty, Savannah was an Elephant and Logan was a Tiger. And they were very cute.
