Alexis is almost walking. Of course she wanted to do it on her own and not you "trying" to get her to.
On Saturday she was sitting in this booster seat in the living room that Lori brought over and she just stood up and took 4 steps right there.
She now is trying so hard to walk, the PT was so amazed that in less than a week what she has accomplished.
She also has said "mama" on last Thursday. She will also snap her fingers while dancing!! so cute!
She also started clicking her tongue which is so good for her speech!
I am so excited at all the progress she is making!
I hope she is fully walking by Christmas!
Oh and I never knew how much of a thumb sucker she is until watching her at school today she kept going for her thumb in between activities and such. now i see her do it all the time!

"Nana, how are you..mmm huh oh no why is your dog not eating..oh I am good I had a sucker today...oh mmmmhuh Come see me..oh really aww that is good...
She kept going and going...too funny!
Today after school in the car Madison says "Mommy can I say a prayer?" I said sure honey say it.
"Dear Jesus, thank you for my sucker, thank you for bubby's Gum and thank you for Ali, and Nana to get better Amen"

I have never laughed so much so hard...
At church today we had a guest speaker there. I have never laughed so hard, even crying laughing so hard and so much in my entire life. I have seen many comedians who have never made me laugh like that before.
This man, Joe McGee taught a parenting seminar on Friday and Sat that I could not attend so when i heard he was speaking at service I was so excited! He spoke a little from what he says in a parenting seminar and a lot about marriage.
He quoted so many verses that relate that i never even thought about. Me and Adam were nudging each other all morning because he spoke about so much that was true!
Every church should have him come talk every one should do a parenting seminar or marriage one.
I bought his CD set (that he taught at the seminar) on "8 things that no kid should leave home without"I bought the book "God knows how to raise your kids even when you don't"
I have heard his finance books are great! He is from TN he has 6 kids. He now lives in OK.
here is a marriage clip from him:
Many have been deceived by a common myth about marriage thinking, “if I marry the right person, I’ll live happily ever after,” only to wake up to a different reality.
Some couples spend their lives building each other up, but unfortunately, some spend their lives tearing each other down.
But God wants you to have the kind of marriage that makes other people jealous. You don’t just happen to find a great marriage. You build one. It’s a life-long process.
Marriage is the most intimate relationship possible—two people choosing to be together for the rest of their lives. But in order to build a strong, lasting and fulfilling relationship, you need the right tools—skills most of us got married without. But as the old saying goes, “It’s never too late to learn.”
Marriage Building 101 is for any age couple who has tied the knot or who is tied up in knots.
You can download a couple of audio files of him on his website.

President of the United States is....
OBAMA!!!
I have to say I am so excited to be a part of American History. I am excited for the change for the better. I am happy to get away from the last 8 years we have been through.
I am glad to see the outstanding numbers of people who voted!
Now lets all get together no matter who you voted for or what party you are for and lets work together to change America for the better and UNDO some of the Damage the last 8 years has brought us!
VOTE
Get out and Vote! I went this morning and it took 10 min! I missed the morning rush crowd!
You can not complain for 4 years unless you vote!
You can not complain for 4 years unless you vote!
oh my luck!
Last night we went to Zaxby's to eat dinner and I was walking back to the table with the cups to get ready to fill up, as i was walking to the table I slipped on some water on the floor, I landed on my Left elbow and left knee. I also slightly twisted my right ankle. I blacked out for a moment not know what had just happened there for a few seconds. It was so not FUN! I am in so much pain!
I have to wait for the zaxby's ins co to call me so I can see a dr unless I want to payout of my own pocket (which I don't have because who knows how much that will be). I know I did not break a bone but who knows about the other stuff in my elbow or knee.

Fall is here ..I think...
Tomorrow it will be a high of 70. I hope it stays because I am tired of being cold in the am and 85 plus in the afternoon. Its hard to plan what to wear! I am ready to move the summer clothes to the storage closet!
We went to a pumpkin patch last Friday with our MOPS group and we burned up! could not wear cute fall clothes in that weather! Today we went to a Halloween party (our costumes not ready yet) and we wore our "light" fall Halloween clothes but it was still hot!
We are being Peterpan (Austin), Tinkerbell (Alexis) and Wendy (Madison) for Halloween. Amy my cousin's grandmother-in-law is making the Wendy because I can not find one or even a blue night gown anywhere!
We have a fall hayride event, smores and all this Friday night I hope the weather is cool for that!
I ready for the cold so we can make chili, drink cocoa and turn the fire place on!
Not ready for snow though!

What have we been up to....
We have been very busy here lately. Tonight we were headed to dinner and Adam was going to go into work for about an hour to do a report while we went to the mall. Well while on our way my Aunt Lenis called and says she is headed to the Circus in Nashville and had 3 extra tickets and wants me and the kids to join them. SO we got dropped off to meet her, Carter, Savannah, chad, coti and 2 other people I did not know. We had a good time!
Today I went to our mom's Meetup group book club at Barnes and Noble. after I went home and we played outside until we left for dinner. we sanded and tightened and anchored down the playset. (we have been meaning to get this done like forever ago) We also fixed the tire swing. We played football with Austin, we swung, ate lunch outside it was great!
We are still battling allergies. it is crazy! this is the worst mine have been here but still not as bad as they were in GA! I just think we need RAIN!!!
The Kids have fall break next week except Alexis. so we are going to do some things with our friends next week.
We have a birthday to go to next weekend,and we may go to the pumpkin patch! who knows!
We are just enjoying the fall weather and watching FOOTBALL!!!
I think that is all for now i may post again soon if i think of anything new!

Bailout?
I was reading a post on a blog i read and decided to post some thoughts from hers as she said it so well!
I agree 100 %!!
How many of us average Americans understand the 700 billion dollar bailout? How money will be distributed, to whom, what it means short term, long term, how it translates to me, the individual consumer, mortgage holder and taxpayer? Will the Big CEO's get a BIG bonus? who is regulating and overseeing this money?
I want to know exactly what is going and how did we get in this situation? I am just so mad about the state of the Union right now! why did they let it get this bad? Why do we have to pay for their mistakes? I guess I could just use the lingo Bush and congressional leaders have offered and keep saying the same key phrases over and over. Key phrases like “predatory lending”; “golden parachutes”; “the end result of de-regulation”; “collapse of the markets”; “dire consequences”; etc. But I don’t think I’d be any more convincing of my understanding then they are.
Here are some questions?
1.WHY is this suddenly a crisis? There have been a massive amount of foreclosures over the last thirty-six months (that’s THREE YEARS, not THREE WEEKS). Why is it only when the millionaires are affected does it become a “historic crisis”. I’m sure the families that lost there homes pre-crisis would disagree. (good point Amy)
2. Why is it ok to hand faulty corporations BILLIONS of taxpayer’s dollars because they didn’t do their jobs very well. In my experience in the business world, when you perform below expected standards, guess what happens? You get to clean out your desk, you don’t get a 700 billion dollar bonus.
3.Why in the world is Bush and his camp of cronies sticking to the idea that the De-regulation put in place by people like Phil Gramm(who still has the ear of McCain on such things as the ECONOMY) isn’t a major part of this problem? And if the shotty regs that remain on the books had been enforced, this historic crisis might be a little less historic, a little less of a crisis. (perfect Point AMY you said it right)
Ok so people borrowed beyond their means, no doubt. But these people lent the money to them and in doing so likely did not adhere to the federal regulations put in place to protect both the corporation and the consumer from these doomsday scenarios.So the lack of enforcement is part of this "Georgie poo" start warming to the idea. Fiscal conservative indeed. What a joke.
No matter what it is to be believed that this bailout is going to go forward, for better or for worse it appears there is no way out. The right and left come together and give away the farm. Our farm. Our children’s farm.
I hope that the lessons this crisis offers us aren’t lost in all the check-writing. Speaking of check-writing, take a look at what your money could have bought and then make sure you vote in November. Can not complain unless you do your part and Vote!
CHANGE WE NEEDED FOUR YEARS AGO!!
