My Little Fairy Princess

I took Bella to JCP for their Fairy Event and spent an arm and a leg buying pictures. But they were worth every penny cause they came out super super cute!!! :) These are a few of them. I hope you enjoy them!

Awesome Video by Obama

Videos of Bella

Here are some videos of Bella. First saying "Papa", clapping, and pointing at her nose. Then, tickling daddy and pretending he's a horsey! :)



ETA: Sorry the second video is not uploading... will try later.

Pumpkin Patch!!

Here are some pictures from our trip to the pumpkin patch. We got 2 pumpkins and a hay bail. Bella loved walking around the pumpkins, sunflowers, and even tried to pick up every pumpkin she saw! Enjoy them!! :)

Ultrasonic Ringtones

You are about 20 years old

The teen repellent will no longer foil you, but you can still hear some pretty high tones. The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 16.7kHz

Find out which ultrasonic ringtones you can hear!

Being sick sucks!

Bella and I have been sick for the last few days and so we've been pretty miserable... Billy was really busy this weekend with the end of the first evangelistic meetings at the Merced Church in almost 20 years. I believe over 40 people got baptized and more are studying and making decisions. So, we are very excited.

But that meant I was with Bella Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, almost all day. It was *rough*!!! She cried and whined and cried some more. Runny nose, coughing, cranky, and wanting to be held ALL THE TIME!!! Anyways, glad that's over!!

And the good news is we are both feeling better today!! :)

VP Debate and my "analysis"

Billy and I have been very interested in politics this year with the Presidential election approaching in just a month. I won't be able to vote because I'm not a citizen yet, but how I wish I had done my papers so I could vote for Obama/Biden!

Anyways, I found this article in yahoo and wanted to post a comment by somebody that really summarizes my feelings:

"I found her folksy talk insulting and inappropriate for someone running for the vice presidency," said Quigley. "While Biden didn't sweep the floor with Palin as I had anticipated, I feel like that was more a function of him toning it down to avoid being perceived as a Washington bully. He refuted her non-answers of the questions with facts, and carried himself in a much more executive manner."

I also posted a comment on Anderson Cooper blog. Here's what I wrote:

First of all, I want to say that the comments by the media/analysts that she exceeded the expectations for the debate are ludicrous. So, everybody expected her to sound like Miss North Carolina AGAIN, but instead she sounded somewhat intelligent - emphasis on *somewhat.* You still would have to ignore (or double check) the misleading facts she mentioned about Obama/Biden’s plans (ie. taxes) and the exaggerations on McCain’s plans.

Second, I wanted to throw up every time she winked or used her “folksy” tone when answering a question. Not to mention the fact that she said “I may not answer the questions that either the moderator or you want to hear.” IT’S A DEBATE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!! If you want to answer your own questions have a monologue!!!

She sounds so stupid and uneducated, especially in the interviews with K. Couric. People in other countries are laughing at the U.S and feeling sorry for us with the possibility of this woman becoming VP, or even worse, President. I already told my husband that if McCain dies and she becomes President, I’m packing my bags and moving to another country! Just freaking scary!!

**Praying for Obama/Biden to win**

Bella's 15 month pictures

Soooo, we were supposed to take pictures of Bella at 12 months.... but that never happened and we procrastinated until she was 15 months... I know, I know... bad parents :( But we finally did it and here are some of them!!! Enjoy! Isn't she just absolutely gorgeous?!? :) She still has curly hair and we just adore her to pieces!!
