Honorable Wishes from an Honorable President

Since we're all starving to death for honorable words of encouragement from our President...words that give tribute to our God and our great country.....I want to post this short Christmas wish from President Ronald Reagan (1981).

iPhone, Therefore I Am

It Seemed Like a Good Idea

...."I'll just let Summer sit over here and eat an apple and watch Frosty while I clean up. That way she'll stay out of trouble and not make any more messes before I can get everything else cleaned up".....

(so much for that!)

Defend Your Healthcare

With all the lies and chaos surrounding the current healthcare debate, it's hard to know what's going on. The commies are counting on wearing Americans out on this fight, and passing it while we're casually looking the other way. Here is a great resource to filter through all the hype and see what's really at stake for our nation. I encourage you to read through it and pass it along to everyone you know! Our life and liberty are at stake!


"The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered, perhaps, as deeply, as finally staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people."
George Washington, First Inaugural Address, April 30, 1789

Chocolate Beard

Summer's first experience with chocolate cereal (I know, I'm a terrible mother! At least it was organic....)


Finger lickin' good!


Right after this, SHE SNEEZED! Great timing.

Merry Christmas!

Since I just can't seem to get my act together enough to send out Christmas cards through snail mail, this electronic Christmas card is for all my blogging friends. Merry Christmas!



(PLEASE NOTE: All 5 children are looking at the camera, and all 5 children are smiling. Yes, it's crooked, and I almost cut Caleb's head off, but this was about shot #100 from session #3, so I'm considering this a miracle of Christmas!)

Brown-Eyed Babes

3 of our children have inherited Jason's big, beautiful brown eyes. (Caleb and Madelyn have my changing hazel colored eyes.) Every once in a while, I catch a glimpse of one of them doing something (usually MISCHIEF!) or showing a certain expression, and suddenly it takes me back to when I was 19 and all Jason and I had to do was stare into each other's eyes!



(such a little lady!)


(thanks, Bro. Tony, for this great picture of Bubbie!)
Bub's are the darkest of all...


Obviously, Jason and I don't have many (or any) carefree days now, and I miss that, but there's something so fulfilling about having a house full of little "JasonandTara's" running around, a testament of the love and joy God has placed in our lives. Sadly, Margaret Sanger (see post below) just had no idea what she was missing.

What a legacy!

"If you were to ask anyone to name the people who have directly or indirectly caused the most deaths in the twentieth century, names such as Hitler, Stalin, and Ho Chi Minh would likely top the lists. I submit, though, that there is one person whose track record in blood leaves any one of the others in a distant second place."

Brannon Howse, in his book, "Grave Influence: 21 Radicals and Their Worldviews That Rule America From the Grave" , speaking of Planned Parenthood founder, Margaret Sanger.

He goes on to say,

"Margaret Sanger's standing as the greatest death-monger of all times is unlikely to be challenged. In fact, her numbers seem destined only to grow."

If you really want to get your blood boiling, go and research how much of YOUR tax dollars have gone to fund Planned Parenthood! I appreciate the remarks of the Congressman below:






What he says about Planned Parenthood's war against the black race is easily documented. I've never understood how black people, including our President, and also Martin Luther King (follow this link to see how he, as a stooge, accepted an award from the very people who were trying to wipe out his "race"), could lobby so hard for Planned Parenthood. If you want to know the full scope of Planned Parenthood's war on "the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world" (HER WORDS, NOT MINE!) , I recommend a new movie put out by Life Dynamics called "Maafa 21". It is available for checking out at LMO , though it would be worth your money to purchase. VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED. I did allow my children to watch it (with me skipping some parts), and plan to do so again many times, but Magaret Sanger was a vile, filthy woman, and her organization's commercials, etc., are definitely inappropriate for anyone, especially innocent-minded children. Here is a short preview of the movie below:






It's time for Americans to come clean about the purpose of Planned Parenthood! It's not a noble "family planning" venture organized by compassionate citizens, it's Darwinian eugenics and killing babies!

He had a ball!

We had a great time Wednesday morning with Bubbie and his mustache. He stood and stared into the mirror for a few seconds before nervously saying, "Mom, it's not a real mustache.......is it?" He's so funny.

Being a young man with a broad range of interests, he wanted a Davy Crockett cake and a spider man suit for his birthday. I'm afraid Davy kind of looks like he's wearing a Jedi robe, but once again, I delivered! He asks for the hardest cakes! In fact, when I showed him the finished product, he said, "But I wanted him on a horse shooting his gun!" Oh well, this is all I could come up with:



Spidey




This morning, Bub came and sat in the chair and said first thing, "Man, I loved that birthday!" I had let him and Seth "sleep together" last night (a treat on a week night for them) and he said, "Mama, me and Bubba had a ball last night. You know what's a ball? Bubba said a ball is when you do lots of fun things and don't get in trouble for it." I just love little boys!!

Shhhhhhhhhhhh!



My little Bubbie is turning 5 years old today. The poor little fella takes a lot of teasing from all of us. He's just that kind of child that is so fun to tease! We love him and have a lot of fun with him. This week, we've been telling him that his "4's" are almost over, and life will be different! 5 years is always a big deal in our home, because that means you no longer have to take a nap! Well, Bub asked me what he was getting for his birthday, and I said, "A razor and shaving cream, of course." I explained to him that now he would grow a beard and mustache and could shave just like Daddy! Poor soul isn't too sure if I'm joking or not. He told Seth, "If I do grow a mustache, I'll shave it and nobody will know." LOL

So, I just couldn't resist the urge to tiptoe into his room and paint a mustache on my little man. I'll let you know how he reacts. You'll probably suspect an earthquake around 8:30 this morning, but don't be afraid! It's probably just our Bubbie.

No time for blogging....

but we've been busy with lots of fun and family fellowship. Here are a few highlights from our Thanksgiving week:

Summer's first ponytail!!


Summer's first year helping decorate the tree. Her baby helps her do everything.


Our toothless coon hunters


Thanksgiving morning at our house means Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, sausage balls, and gingerbread houses. Fun!


We've been passing around a cold, but our little Rosebud was petted with lots of TLC through hers.
And last, but not least, our tadpole finally has front legs! We've been raising this tadpole since May! It's had its back legs for several months, but overnight just grew the front ones. Surely we'll have a frog soon!


Here's a video of the little ones jamming out to "White Christmas". Rosebud dances kind of like Chester on Gunsmoke!
