Another One Bites The Dust!!

For those of you who arent aware of my cell phone issues let me fill you in. Just since Jaydan was born I have fried 5 or 6 cell phone. 1 wanted to take a bath with him, 1 fell in a mud hole by my driveway and others just dropped over and over. Well today was just another cell phone death for me. I was helping Jay wash his hands in the bathroom. My elbow knocked it and there it went right into the toilet!! I heard that if you put it right into a bag of rice the rice will absorb all the water and it will work so I figured it was worth a shot. Even if it doesnt work at least I tried to save it. All I can do is laugh!!

Happy Birthday Gran and Leaf Fun!!!

After we surprised Gran with her bday cake

Burying Pashell

This is so fun!!!!

I love leaves!!

Getting both of them to look at the same time is IMPOSSIBLE!!!

Yesterday was Kamrin Grandmas (Gran) birthday. We all went to his parents house for dinner to spend time with her. When we got there, there was ALOT of leaves in a huge pile all ready for my kids to play in. Jaydan LOVED it. Madyson liked it except when I laid her on her back for a picture. She got pretty mad at that. Jaydan even got to bury Connor and Pashell a couple times which he thought was pretty cool. When Gran pulled up I told him to run and tell her happy birthday and poor kid tripped and that was the end of the leaf fun. He was in a bad mood for a while after that. Then we went in for dinner and visited for a while. It was fun. Im not sure if Gran reads this but I wanted to wish her a Very Happy Birthday!! We love you and hope you had a great day!!!

My New OBSESSION!!!

I have found a new OBSESSION that I honestly cant get enough of! I play with it as much as possible (which is not enough since I do have 2 young ones) My new play toy is my Cricut machine. For those of you who don't know what that is it is an electric die cut machine. It is perfect for scrapbooking or other crafts. All you do is insert the cartridge you want pick your design and bam it does the rest! Each cartridge has HUNDREDS of options to do and I have 28 cartridges!!! The possibles are endless!! The second I put the kids to bed I pull it out til I go to sleep! I HIGHLY recommend this machine to anyone who scrapbooks or any other crafts. You will love it!!!!!

WOW What A Response!!!

My last post was a big hit. Not only did I get multiple comments on my blog but also by text and even phone calls. A few points came up that I wanted to touch on and address. I was on no way bashing anyone for their views or beliefs but I really do hope that all of you reading this who voted for Obama voted for him for a reason other then the color of his skin, wanting to make history or just wanted a change!!! None of those are good reasons to vote for someone who is going to have my future, my kids future and everyone else I loves future in their hands!! I dont care if our next was Black, White, Asian or even Indian. I dont care if our next president is man or woman. All I care about is that the person that is running my country is HONEST and has not only mine but every single Americans best interest at heart. THIS IS NOT OBAMA!! He has no morals, no pride for this country and is just flat out not a good person!!! No good human being would be okay with abortion or as he calls it "womens rights" when they are a months away from delivery. Im sorry but I think woman give up their rights on not delivering a child when he made the CHOICE to get in that situation in the first place. Adoption is always the better option in that kind of situation. I personally know plenty of people who can never have their own kids and would love to then there are those people that Obama supports that are getting pregnant over and over like its nothing and murdering their unborn babies cause they arent ready for kids. SO SO SAD!! In my eyes from the second of conception it is not cells but a living baby. A gift from Heavenly Father that way way too many dont appreciate. On another note what kind of so called President Of America has NO AMERICAN PRIDE OR RESPECT!!! To not hold your hand to your heart while paying any kind of respect for our flag as absolutely no business running my country!!!! The saddest part is everyone who voted for him didnt see a problem with that!!!!! Please help me understand your thinking!!!!!! Why would you want the man who has the future of yours and your families future in their hands to have NO RESPECT OR PRIDE for our flag!!! Why would You want a man who supports MURDER OF A BABY!!! Why would you want a man who denied his faith in his church because it was hurting his campaign!!! Why would you want this kind of person to run our country? We could have made history by just picking some random African American off the streets to be President and we probably would have been better off. We could have just picked any random Joe off the streets to get a change and once again we probably would have been better off. Am I missing something or not seeing something that you see that made this LIAR look like a better choice? Honestly I dont get it. If you voted for him because of any of the reasons I named just please next time but thought into if that is really a good reason to elect someone. This will not only affect you and your family but mine as well and I DO NOT want my kids to be influenced by a man like Obama. He makes me SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Out With The Old In With The HORRIBLE!!!!

Im not usually one to use my blog to vent or anything like that and I told myself not to even tell people who I voted for or any of my views on it because I really didn't wanna hear crap and I know not everyone understands that everyone is entitled to their own opinions. All last night I was just sick about the outcome of the election for many reasons so I just decided to express myself despite what everyone else may think. I know even some of you reading this voted for Obama but just respect this is MY opinion and Im not in anyway bashing you for yours. Let me just start by saying I don't follow politics too closely but have been pulled in a bit more with this election. Yes, I have voted since I turned 18 but politics just haven't been a huge priority to me til I realized that my kids are growing up in this crazy world right now and it affects our lives more then I realized. It makes me so sick to hear peoples reasoning for voting Obama as our President. Lets start with the main one I have heard.... Its so exciting to elect the first African American President. Okay, first off yes that would be awesome if that African American was a decent man with morals!!!!! Second..... We are ready for change. Change is great when its change for the better!!!!!! Many people think John McCain and President Bush are the same person I hate to break it to you THEY ARE NOT!!! Just because they are in the same party doesnt mean they think the same or make them the same person!!!!!!!!!! Ready for a change? Hate to break it to ya McCain would have been a change!! So now onto why I didn't want my kids future in Obamas hands. I want a man with morals to run my country!! Not only does Obama in favor of abortions which is sick enough as is but he is in favor of 2nd and 3rd trimester abortions. DISGUSTING!! What kind of person is in favor of MURDER!!!! Okay another thing that makes me sick about our new so called President. What kind of person goes to a church his whole life and once it starts affecting his campaign he says just kidding I dont really believe that church! What a weak weak human being!! I want my childrens future to be in the hands of someone who stands up for what they believe in no matter what!! Im not just talking about the religious aspect Im talking about beliefs in general. If you only "believe" in something until it starts affecting your campaign and you will do or say anything to win even if its a lie YOU ARE NOT A DECENT PERSON!!!!! I too am ready for a change but not one like this. Im not ready for a no good, lying piece of crap to have my kids future in their hands!! Do I think McCain is a good guy? Absolutely. Do I agree with everything he thinks or believes? No Would he has been my #1 choice? No, My first pick would have been Mitt!!!! I must say though McCain would have been SO MUCH BETTER then the piece of crap we stuck with now!!! All I can say to close this is THANK HEAVEN FOR IMPEACHMENT!!!!!!!!!!

Halloween was SO much fun for us. We woke up early and started the fun right away. We went to pick up Kamrin sister Pashell and we went to surprise Grandma Hammond at her work. Luckily when we got there she didnt have a class so she got to spend time with them. When her class came in they all loved my kids and were commenting on their cute costumes. Then we went to my sister Kims work. Jaydan loved it there for many reasons. It was decorated awesome (and of course I left my camera in the car) Everyone was going nuts over my kids so he LOVED all the attention and his favorite was he got to trick or treat and everyones desks. When Kims boss Rick saw the candy Jay had he said he needs something bigger then that so he took us to his desk and I was expecting maybe a big sucker or even a normal size candy bar but boy was I wrong! He pulled out a king size Crunch bar!!! Jaydans eyes were HUGE! He had hit the jackpot. Then we were off to see Grandma Rushworth and Grandma Nette. We showed off their costumes and Halloween outfits, had lunch with them and played hard. Jaydan loves all the cool decorations my grandma has. He was scared or some of them til Halloween then he got brave. Steph stopped by so we also got to spend some time with her. Then we got Kamrin and came home for a while and had dinner then headed to our ward for the Trunk Or Treat. We got more comments on our costumes then the kids did :-) Everyone laughed so hard at Kamrins Whoopie Cushion costume and one guy even had to take a picture of him. When we were walking to our car a guy stopped me and asked if I would take a picture with his daughter cause she loved Snow White. Then we headed to my dads ward (the ward I grew up in) Kandace had the boys there so we were able to see them too. People there went all out and decorated their trunks awesome!! My kids made bank with candy. Jaydan filled his Elmo bucket twice and Madyson filled her Princess bucket once and thats not including all the treats family had given them the last week or all the candy from Kims work!! Not bad for a 2 year old and a 10 month old!! After the 2nd Trunk Or Treat we went over to my friend Christi's parents house with her and her family cause her parents had a huge blow up castle, spider and many more awesome decorations, Jay had so much fun running through the castle. He didnt want to leave there!! Then we were finally done. We headed back home to hand out with Kamrins sister Shaless and her husband Jared. To end a fun day for Jay Jared put him in his pillowcase and was swinging him and twisting him all around. Jaydan LOVED it and wanted to do it over and over. We really had a great Halloween! It was so fun not only for the kids but for Kamrin and I also!!
