Christmas card out-takes....

Yesterday I did a shoot with my 'lil punks! I had a scheduled shoot later on in the morning so I got my guys up early for out shoot. It turned out to be a great day, though one of my guys was not too enthusiastic. Any takers on who that would be? lol While I got some good shots, I am not sure which one will be my card pic! I left out a couple as I don't want to ruin the surprise. Then again, I may try it one more time. Seriously I think it's much easier to have someone else shoot your children (figuratively speaking of course! BAWAHAHAHA)

Have you thanked.....

a veteran today? Happy Veterans Day to all the men and woman who are veterans. You deserve the utmost respect!

Here's my hubs whose a veteran and John before marching in the our Veteran's Day Parade here in Q-town.

I have been MIA....

Sorry that I have been missing from the blogasphere! I have missed you girls (and you too Bob ;) ) I have been taking so many pictures lately, but not of my own guys! Yesterday I got the perfect picture op when we went for a hike at a Borderland State Park. To think I went to college 2 miles away from here, but never went here - it was awesome! You can probably tell how much fun Matt was having! Let's just say he was a bit pooped from the long weekend.

True Sacrifice .... make no mistake about it....

Barack Obama for president, now that would be a mistake that this country can not afford!

My guys....

Cooking the books and to vet or not to vet....

My blood is boiling and guess what it's ALL due to? POLITICS!!! While I love to throw pictures up here and talk about happy stuff, I am compelled to speak of so much more. I ask how many of you know that the problems we face are due to greedy, crooked, democrats!!! Once again, you will not hear about this on the mainstream media (I know you say, there she goes again!), but it's the truth. This man, Franklin Raines cooked the books or made false accounting reports on the state of Fannie May. These lies and deceptions earned him almost $90 million in six years. His deception (and others who refused to acknowledge the brewing crisis) are the leading cause of the tumultuous state of our economy. His lies and greed are costing all Americans of all socioeconomic backgrounds. How many of you know that Franklin Raines is Obama's senior advisor for economics and housing. Now I ask, did Obama vet Mr. Raines properly?!?!? Is this an issue of Obama's bad judgment, inexperience or both?

Help this girl choose....

and I am not talking politics here!!!( I am sure you already know my choice!)

lol From my previous post you can see, I did a photo shoot with my boys the other day. Since I did these in lieu of the school photos,

I must decide which one's to print! I promised myself I would make this official

and not just leave them on my hard drive. Now if you could be so kind,

please visit my photoblog for the complete shoot!
