Wing High & Voting

Our little Nate has been going through a word explosion.... it's nice! I was a little worried he's a very vocal little guy (just ask about him at the local Walmart... LOL!!), but didn't really try to use words to communicate... he just grunted, yelled or pulled us to what he needed.

It seems like for the last 4 weeks he's been attempting new words each day... usually two or three. They are still very "baby"... but it's a start:) And I'm loving the "word(s) of the day".

Yesterday it was "mil" for milk and "bla" for black:)

And if you ask him how old he is, he'll definitely enthusiastically tell you "TWO!!".. unless he's being bashful:)

Of course he'll also tell you that Mom, Dad, Anna, Chris, Lydia, Gran-Grandma, Grandma, Grandaddy and Collar are all "TWO!!" too:)

Last week he started saying "wing high".... the kid who was scared of swings now loves it;)And wants to go high;)

BTW... we were at a beautiful location, but you would never realize it from the picture... funny how that works sometimes. Here is another shot with the background showing!




*************************************************

The kids heard a news report about the upcoming election. And so they asked,"Mommy who are you voting for?"

Of course I wanted to see how they would answer the question:)

Chris: "I'm voting for Newt Gingrich, no I mean Barack Obama, no I mean Mitt Romney.

Anna: "Well I wanted to vote for Rick Santorium." (remember she also wants him to be the new pastor of our church... LOL!!)

Lydia: "Well, I want to vote for George Washington!"

Looks like even this group is still undecided... good thing we still have until November before the voting happens.

Now it's your turn!! Link up those fun and interesting conversations with you little ones;)

Do YOU know who THIS is??, Snow!

Brian held up the Parade magazine from the Sunday paper. He showed Anna the picture and asked her, "Do you know who this is?"

And the little genius immediately answered, "Barak Obama" (although it sounded more like "Iraq Obama"....LOL)

He then looked at me with the expression "did you teach her?"... And I just laughed! He then asked Anna, "Where did you learn about Barack Obama?"

She quickly answered back,"The news." WOW! Brian and I love to watch the news and know what is going on.... now our kids are learning from the news.

While we don't support many of Obama's positions.......

....we are looking forward to watching his Inauguration tomorrow. We will have our kids watch the Inauguration (if they sit still long enough). And we will continue to pray for Obama as our president and hope that his presidential term will be both good for all Americans, GOd-honoring and supportive of our allies around the world!

FOr added excitement tomorrow....

The "news" has been warning us about snow tomorrow.... Anna already knows the temperature and likelihood of snow ...

So maybe tomorrow we will have SNOW! SNOW!! SNOW!!!!

Numbers and the Media

Two things:

* Are you staying up to watch the results come in... watch all the numbers? Are you going to stay up stay waiting and watching to see who will be our next president??

*What will the news media do for the next 4 years if their hand-picked candidate lets us down?

Palin Sightings

For all those interested....

I was just told that Sarah Palin would be on SNL tonight!! I'm not a regular SNL watcher... they can be crude and rude, but I'm interested:) And a proud Sarah Palin supporter!!

*** Well I did watch the opening and a good part of the show... but then as usual the show was offensive to me and not what I choose to be entertained by so I turned OFF the TV and regretted that I mentioned it my blog..... hope you decided not to watch or turned it off before me!!!

Here's a better view!

Too cute!

The Red VP Family

So what are we "up to" on this Wednesday night???

Watching the Republican VP Family... of course

And if you watched it.... did you see Sarah Palin's youngest daughter holding her little brother??? Did you see Piper lick her hand and smooth down her little brother's hair..... PRICELESS!!!

YouTube got it... it was a better shot on NBC...but here it is!!(The total clip is 6+ minutes but the cute part is in the 1st minute.)
