A New Do

When the girls got home from school today, Caitlyn asked me if I would cut her hair. Caitlyn has never asked me that before. Normally she gets all panicky if I even suggest a trim. I allowed her a couple hours to think about it before making a final decision, and obviously she chose to get it cut short. Kira was so excited by it that she wanted hers short too. So here are my two beautiful short haired girlies.

Lollipop Guild...

This is josh after a bath, before his hair was combed. It reminded me of the munchkins in the wizard of oz. "We represent the lollipop guild, the lollipop guild, the lollipop guild."

Yes on 8

For those of you who are unaware, Californians will be voting on an important issue in November. Here are some details:

Proposition 8 is simple and straightforward. It contains the same 14 words that were previously approved in 2000 by over 61% of California voters. "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California".

Because 4 activitst judges in San Francisco wrongly overturned the people's vote, we need to pass this measure as a constitutional amendment to restore the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman.

Voting YES on Proposition 8 does 3 simple things:

1-It restores the definition of marriage to what the vast majority of California voters already approved and what Californians agree should be supported, not undermined.

2-It overturns the outrageous of four activist Supreme Court judges who ignored the will of the people.

3-It protects our children from being taught in public schools that "same-sex marriage" is the same as traditional marriage, and prevents other consequences to Califonrians who will be forced to not just be tolerant of gay lifestyles, but face mandatory compliance regardless of their personal beliefs.

If you live in California, and are registered to vote, please vote Yes for Prop 8.

If you are not registered to vote, please get registered. You have until October 20th to register. Click here: http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_vr.htm to register.

If you living outside of California temporarily, but are registered in California, don't forget to vote by absentee ballot.

If you support this Proposition, tell your friends! Spread the word! And get out to VOTE!

A Happy Day!

Josh is now one month, so I thought I would take some pictures of him in his blessing outfit that his grammy made him. After I got him in his outfit he started smiling. I thought as usual that it was probably gas, but then he just kept smilin' with no burp's or farts. His first genuine smiles. What an exciting day. On top of that, today was National Walk to School Day. Brooke, the kids and I got up extra early, and met at the park with the rest of those willing to participate. There was quite a turn out. We had a police escort, the Principal, some teachers, and a reporter from the local paper all there. The walk to school is about a mile and a half. It was pretty fun, and we did is as a family which made it even better.
