Lee and me went out with our friend Jen and her friend Kenny to Electric Cowboy on Saturday night... here's a few pictures from before we left the house:





And here's one of Me & Jen with my friend, Mike, a.k.a. the babysitter/manny

I BaROCKED the Vote -- and HE WON!

Unless you live under a rock, then you know our new President Elect is...

BARACK OBAMA


I'm so happy that I can finally say "MY" President because I actually chose/voted for this one! More than happy for myself, I'm really excited about what this says about our country as a whole. We've come a long way from the days of slavery, predjudice, and mistreatement of minorities. I am not living in a world of sunshine and posies, and yes I realize there is still predjudice and hate in this world (though I truly wish there wasn't... one can dream, right?) This election just says so much about the USA and how we're finally ready to step forward from the mistakes of our past and accept something new.

I'll be honest, a few months back when Barack Obama was chosen for the Democratic nomination, I had low hope of him actually winning the election. I really figured that our country would not elect him because he's [half] black and we just weren't ready for a black President. I'm sooo glad and proud to say that I was wrong and we are ready. We Americans can handle change, oh
YES WE CAN!

Congratulations to Mr. President-Elect Barack Obama, his beautiful wife and girls, Vice President-Elect Joe Biden and his family on your big win! MOST OF ALL, CONGRATULATIONS, AMERICA, ON YOUR VOTE FOR CHANGE! I have a feeling the next four years are going to look up... after all, it can't look much worse than it's been the last eight! :)

My Halloween Dinosaur

Last Halloween, Logan was only 10 months old. We dressed him up as a teddy bear and took him out trick-or-treating in his stroller. He, of course, really didn't know what the heck was going on, but it was still fun for us. Parents love showing off their cute babies in costume and we were no exception. This year, though, Logan seemed to really get into Halloween.

His costume this year was a blue dinosaur, and it was CUTE!

Thursday night (10/30) I took Logan trick-or-treating at our friend Laura's kids' elementary school with my friend Mike who babysits her kids while she works her second job. Her boys Austin, a.k.a. Elvis, and Nathan, an Incredibles super hero, had fun and Logan tagged along. They walked the school halls and the teachers gave out candy. Logan wasn't too sure about it until he got a lollipop and then he was all about the candy. Afterward, we took the kids out for dinner at Cici's Pizza which is always a hit.

Friday, Halloween night, my parents and Lee and I took Logan to a nearby subdivision where the residents always get really into Halloween and decorate and make it nice for the kids. We got out of the car and it was like "candy-trick-or-treating-Halloween instinct" took over... Logan knew just what to do. He started running for the first house he saw. It was really cute and he had soooo much fun... he also got a LOT of candy for a kid that's not even 2 yet!! We went out for dinner to Don Lolo's Mexican restaurant and then went home and Logan went straight to bed. He was worn out from all the Halloween festivities. It was a great night!

Here's some photos of our little dinosaur... isn't he cute?! Raawwrrr!
