YES WE CAN!

"Change has come to America"-Barack Obama

I feel like part of something bigger today.

The people have spoken and have made a clear, decisive and overwhelming statement.

"It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America. "-Barack Obama

This is the first time I voted in a Presidential Election, at age 29, although I have been a registered voter since the age of 18. I was inspired and compelled to vote, not only for myself, but for my husband, for my children, for the future. I couldn't get enough last night, I wanted to be fed more and more. I know more is coming. I know there is a long and tough journey ahead for us. But I believe that we will persevere and that change is coming. I have hope!

It feels amazing to be part of such a historic event, the first African-American President in our history! The 44th President of The United States of America! It will be an amazing story to share with our grandchildren and their children, even my children!

"This is our moment. This is our time - to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes We Can."-Barack Obama

YES WE CAN!

A Fun Weekend!

So here we are, all dressed up for Halloween! We have K.J. aka Batman, Camden the Pumpkin (I think he looks like one of those yummy marshmellow cream pumpkins) and of course Momma the BIG BABY! :)

We had a great time trick or treating with my sisters, Tres as the Queen of Sheba and Toria as Cleopatra. The kids got so much candy and we had a very nice time!

The next morning was Fair Day! We ended up at the fair on Saturday morning, Saturday night AND Sunday day! I am faired out! K.J. and Kenny had a good time climbing the rock wall, it didn't last long, they both seemed a little uncomfortable.

K.J. rode the BIG SLIDE by himself on day 2, what a BIG boy!

Think he's having fun? I know he is!

He wanted this on his face, but it was airbrushed so he had to pick another spot. He told the lady to "put it on my muscles" PRICELESS!!! :)

And oh how he fell in love with the corn. If you know K.J., you know he has food issues and we are always nagging him to eat or finish his food. No nagging was required for the roasted corn, he gobbled it up...TWICE! Look how happy he is!

Yes, even I got in on the fun. Do I look tired? I was! We had been at the fair ALL day, gone home, got pretty, went to the LL concert (YUMMY) and then played at the fair.

And don't you think for a second we left Camden out. He was there for all of the fair excitement. He was so good! There was so much going on and so much for those beautiful eyes to see.

We had quite an exciting time as well at the petting zoo. So much excitement that it needs it's very own post...coming soon!
