Happy 7th birthday. We got up early to open presents before Steve went to work. He love his DS and really excited about spending his birthday money. The big party is this weekend. He has invited his whole class and a couple of other people. It should be a wild time. I will post more pictures later.
Birthday wishes from his brother and sister.

Save Friday Night Lights
Between the writers strike and low ratings NBC is thinking about canceling Friday Night Lights. Making last Friday it's last show.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
All the good shows are always canceled. Anthony and I are so excited that Jericho is coming back on tonight. The only reason it is back is the writers strike. Another great show. Why don't the networks promote these great shows and let some of the others that have long since "jumped the shark" go away. This is one of the reasons I haven't put much time into watching night time tv. I get hooked on a show and it gets canceled. So, if you love the show and want to save it. Click on the "Save Friday Night Lights" links on the right and go sign the petition. If you haven't watched the show, go to NBC and watch it on line. It's a great show.

Megans Style
God love her, she has her style and she is not afraid to be her. We found the silver shoes and she added the shoe laces. I have to admit, they are very cute on her. Sunday, February 10, 2008
Confirmation Weekend
After months of preparing the big day arrived. It was a beautiful ceremony and Anthony looked so grown up. I think Fr. Christopher was more nervous then the kids. It was great to meet and talk with the Bishop. Megan and Fr. Hank had their regular argument over who gets the chocolate cake. He tried to steal hers and she tried to bite his fingers. He is really a great guy and we are going to miss him when he retires. Anthony's girlfriend was there getting confirmed as well. She is a very cute little red head. She was late so she isn't in any of the pictures. Poor Anthony was not feeling good but put but on a good show. He had a birthday party to attend after confirmation and didn't want to miss it. The flu has been working its way through the whole family, but thank goodness we are all on the mend.Today Steve and I hit the local Walmart at 6:00am. We where after a blue Nintendo DS and we got it. They haven't had any ds's anywhere including on line since around Christmas. I was excited to get my hands on one and a cool new blue one at that. Jason will be pleased on Thursday. The snow is starting to melt back. After 2 1/2 months of snow on the ground I can't say that I am sorry to see it go. I have a feeling that it won't be gone for long.
Here are some pictures of Saturday night.
Anthony and his three best friends.

Waiting for the Snow
Looking back over the past few weeks, it seems like all I do is talk about the snow. Yes, we are waiting for yet another storm to come through. It sounds like 6 to 12 inches here in town and of course more in the mountains. And wind, can forget the wind.
On to something else besides the weather. SUPER TUESDAY!!!!! Being in Oregon, the primaries will pretty much be over by time I get to vote at the end of the month. I don't know if the actual election will be this exciting but it has been fun to watch. What I find fun is my discussions with both my 14 year old son and my 17 year old nephew. My son is watching and asking questions. Not a lot of opinions but just lots of questions about the process. My nephew on the other hand has lots of opinions. I don't think he and I share any of the same political views but I love talking about them with him. He either is listening to me and trying to understand my side, or he is just totally blowing me off and thinks I am crazy. Either way, he is being really polite about it. I like neither Hillary nor Obama and neither will be getting my vote. What I find refreshing is the young people and their passion for Obama. Even though I don't agree with them, I think it is great that they are taking an interest in something other then themselves. I do see in my nephew the influence of the school system. He had a project where he was to research both Rep. and Dem. views and write a report. His teacher gave him moveon.org as a good reference for finding view points. I took serious issue with that and don't believe that moveon is a good reference no matter what side of the political spectrum you find yourself on. I pointed him to the DNC and GOP websites and he found the info he was looking for. While I know that if he could vote it would not be the way I would, but I am just proud of him for having opinions and willing to talk to me about them. After talking and doing a lot of listening, I wish the school's could give these kids a good lesson on both sides of the issues and leave their personal opinions out. I try, when talking with my son, to give him both sides of an issue and then my opinion. However, when the subject of global warming, air pollution and the cars we drive came up, I did point out that his holier then thou teacher drives an SUV.
Ok, now that I have rambled on about this for long enough. I am going to go and put a dvd in and do some scrapbooking. I need to finish sorting the 650 pictures I just got back from the printers (469 more to go before I have 2007 done). Have a good Super Tuesday.....

The War has Begun
The air soft war is on, and I think Steve is the target. Here is a pic as they head off to war. I have the same type of picture from last year. It is to funny to see how much these boys have grown. Just think, next year they will start driving. God Help us!!!
The Calm
Which is not going to last much longer. Tonight is Anthonys much awaited b.day party. The only reason the house is quite is because they went to Blockbuster to get games and movies. I am not sure who is worse, the boys or Steve. They where supposed to have an air soft war, but the weather is crappy. Snowing (of course) and lots of wind. I am the only girl tonight, Megan bailed on me and went to a friends to spend the night. I never thought I would have to yell "NO MORE FARTING." It's going to be a long night. I will post pictures later.
