Please Pray....

Please help me pray for my cousin Lori who is having some serious health issues, after having a beautiful son yesterday. She is a spectrum, and maybe going into emergency surgery..(I am not sure how much her family wants me to share ) I know that we are never alone, but I have never felt so far away.

My little stud muffin...

I needed a change...

I think that these speak for themselves, what do you think?

Okay so self portraits are not the best!! :)

OOPS

Zach had a little fight with the DVD, Zach did not win. Too bad that this belongs to the Sioux Center Library. Although we are now the proud owners of a broken Arthur DVD. Yea.

Checkups

Both of the Boys had their Check ups today with their new Doctor. Zach weighs 37 # and is 41 inches tall. Ben on the other hand is 19#, and 27 inches tall. I'm not sure if it was a good sign or a bad, when the doctor looked at me with pity in his eyes, and said "Wow, you have your hands full, don't you!" I wanted to say Yea, thanks...God never gives us more than we can handle, right? anyways.. have a great day!!

Pumpkin Land :)

Gotta Love Pumpkin Land, Especailly because it is 10 Min from our house!

What a blast, they have a petting zoo, plus a corn maze (one for the kids, one for us big kids!) Zach had so much fun.

MI Still supports McCain/Palin 2008

I read this on, Redstate.com , a leading online political community, focusing on national political issues from a conservative perspective. I liked what Chuck had to say and thought that I would share this with my fellow repubs.

Subject: Dear Governor Palin from Chuck Yob
To: Governor Palin

Governor Palin,
I saw your comments on Fox News today and described in the Detroit Free Press article below. I wholeheartedly agree with you that the decision by the McCain campaign to pull out of Michigan was the wrong decision.
We have all been wrong at times, and I think this is a decision that will be corrected in a couple of weeks. We were ahead three points as of a week ago according to MRG, a polling firm that I trust more than any national pollster.
I talked to Michigan Republicans and McCain supporters on a conference call last night and they vowed to redouble their efforts. Indeed, there will still be a campaign for John McCain in Michigan whether it is sanctioned by the professionals in Washington DC or not.
Senator McCain has great appeal to Michigan voters dating back to his 2000 campaign. He is a Maverick, independent-minded leader who has bipartisan appeal to the voters of our state. He is the perfect Presidential candidate for Michigan.
I also strongly believe that you are the best possible Vice Presidential choice for Michigan. You kicked Joe Biden's butt in the debate yesterday by showing your blue collar appeal and highlighting why Senator McCain's plans for tax cuts, increased energy supply, and strong foreign policy are what is needed for our country's future. We also know that Obama's tax increases, $1 trillion spending promises, and willingness to befriend dangerous rouge leaders is not the right prescription for our problems.
Democrats have failed the workers of Michigan. Michigan voters know that when Jennifer Granholm increased taxes it cost Michigan jobs. Michigan voters know when Kwame Kilpatrick promised new leadership for Detroit it led to failure. Most importantly, Michigan voters know that Barack Obama's association with Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, and other questionable individuals had important roles in developing his worldview that is dangerous for our future.
I agree with what you said on Fox News today and I hereby invite you to come to Michigan immediately. The good people of Macomb County, Northern Michigan, the Upper Peninsula, and Grand Rapids await your response.

Your Friend and Loyal Supporter of McCain-Palin 2008,

PS: I look forward to talking to you and Senator McCain about this. You can reach me at xxx-xxx-xxxx.

Pajama Party!!

We decided to have a pajama party this am. Here are some pics of the boys goofing off. They are growing every day!!

Okay.....

There are a few of you, and you know who you are...That do not leave comments. If you don't leave comments I don't know that you are looking at the blog, which in turn makes me sad. Now that we are in Iowa, I need to know that people are looking at it, not just me. Please, please leave something nice in the comment area. Dad, I said nice =)

Zach's First Day of Preschool...

Zach is getting so big, his first day of school was tuesday and he loved it! We are so thankful for how this transition has gone with the kids!! This is not an easy thing. Although, I have to admit..It was great having my parents here for a week. They leave tomorrow. *tear* We'll see how I feel when they are gone =)

So, Here I am at the Sioux Center library...until our internet gets hooked up...and enjoying life. Everything with God's hand and blessings has gone amazing. Our house is so perfect, and we love it here so far. Although we miss all of our family and friends, my parents are here until Saturday. Hopefully our internet will be hooked up soon.
