Maurice...sits at Harley's table in school. He is drawing me a picture.

Jeremiah, Harley's "boyfriend". He's all of 2 feet tall! So stinkin' cute!

This is Cooper. He also sits with Harley. He drew me 2 pictures and asked that I put them on my fridge. I hung them up as soon as I got home.

Harley...she was the only one in her class who knew all the words to "12 Days of Christmas". All the other kids just yelled "5 GOLDEN RINGS!!!!!"

Christmas Program at Church - Sunday 12/20/09

I was trying to find the setting on my phone to get rid of the border. It messed up the pictures. Sorry about the quality but you still get all warm and fuzzy with the pictures! :-)

The girls decorate their own tree. They are only allowed to hang ornaments has high as they can reach. It's getting higher every year....



Our regular tree with the baby gate. Mo managed to completely knock down the tree onto our TV and break the tree stand. The tree stand was replaced and the baby gate went up. The poor stuffed bears look like they are in prision.

You have GOT to be kidding me!

House panel passes college football playoff bill

By FREDERIC J. FROMMER, Associated Press Writer Frederic J. Frommer, Associated Press Writer – 26 mins ago
WASHINGTON – A House subcommittee approved legislation Wednesday aimed at forcing college football to switch to a playoff system to determine a national champion, over the objections of some lawmakers who said Congress had more pressing matters on its plate.
The bill, which faces long odds of becoming law, would ban the promotion of a postseason NCAA Division I football game as a national championship unless that title contest is the result of a playoff. The measure passed by voice vote in a House Energy and Commerce Committee subcommittee, with one audible "no," from Rep. John Barrow, D-Ga.
"With all due respect, I really think we have more important things to spend our time on," Barrow said before the vote, although he stressed he didn't like the current Bowl Championship Series, either.
The bill's sponsor, GOP Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, said the BCS system is unfair and won't change unless prompted by Congress.

Seriously?! It makes me want to scream. They're worried about College FOOTBALL?!
