Sariah is YES on 8!! Funny story!!

Okay, you may not know, but Sariah is very passionate about "YES ON 8". I wonder where she got that from?..lol.. Her teacher is also talking about voting in class. Her teacher asked the class, "who has a Obama or McCain sign in their yard?" Sariah responds, " we don't but we're YES on 8 and have lots of signs". She responds to ever 8 commercial she sees. Last night we went to a friends for dinner, her daughter had a you tube video up. Sariah noticed Obama's picture next to "NO ON 8" and it listed his reasons why. She said, " mommy oh no Grandpa voted for Obama and Obama is "No on 8". He told me he voted early. I know grandpa doesn't know this, can he change his vote? Can he revote"? I know he wouldn't of voted for Obama if he knew he was against 8. I need to call him." I told her she needed to talk to grandpa about her concerns..lol..Needless to say, Gramps is busted!!!

Sunday morning.

My boys are sooo cute. Marcus wears that hat daily!

A smile from Dominic!

Happy Halloween

The kids love to get dressed up for Halloween! They had two parties this weekend. I'm over the activities at church, so I threw a carnival at a friends house. We had about 200 people there, it was a blast! Sariah's school carnival was Sat. night, she won a cake doing the cake walk.

Our new sign!

Our friends made us a better one after our last one was stolen once again!

VOTE Yes on 8!!!

Here's the sign at the end of our private road. Someone steals it every night. I'm going to catch them!!!lol

Here is a email I sent to Eric's cousin regarding her concerns with YES on 8!

I do understand where you are coming from...For us it's not about hate or disrespect at all. We have gay and lesbian friends and associates. We don't agree with their lifestyle, but do love them as people. And there's also straight people we don't agree with their lifestyle and love them as people. I'm all for gays to have equal rights, but not for redefining marriage. Here are the reasons why we feel so strongly on YES( on the bottom of the pg). It's not all gays we think are going to mess with religion, it just takes one person to sue and it will cause a big mess. And there's no jurisdiction to stop that from happening. It effects us directly with adoption and marriages we hold sacred. Prop 22 passed 8 years ago by the people, and now our votes were overruled by one liberal judge in SF. He shouldn't have that much power, it should have gone to a vote.

Six Consequences the Coalition Has Identified If Proposition 8 Fails

1. Children in public schools will have to be taught that same-sex marriage is just as good as traditional marriage.

The California Education Code already requires that health education classes instruct children about marriage. (§51890)

Therefore, unless Proposition 8 passes, children will be taught that marriage is between any two adults regardless of gender. There will be serious clashes between the secular school system and the right of parents to teach their children their own values and beliefs.

2. Churches may be sued over their tax exempt status if they refuse to allow same-sex marriage ceremonies in their religious buildings open to the public. Ask whether your pastor, priest, minister, bishop, or rabbi is ready to perform such marriages in your chapels and sanctuaries.

3. Religious adoption agencies will be challenged by government agencies to give up their long-held right to place children only in homes with both a mother and a father. Catholic Charities in Boston already closed its doors in Massachusetts because courts legalized same-sex marriage there.

4. Religions that sponsor private schools with married student housing may be required to provide housing for same-sex couples, even if counter to church doctrine, or risk lawsuits over tax exemptions and related benefits.

5. Ministers who preach against same-sex marriages may be sued for hate speech and risk government fines. It already happened in Canada, a country that legalized gay marriage. A recent California court held that municipal employees may not say: “traditional marriage,” or “family values” because, after the same-sex marriage case, it is “hate speech.”

6. It will cost you money. This change in the definition of marriage will bring a cascade of lawsuits, including some already lost (e.g., photographers cannot now refuse to photograph gay marriages, doctors cannot now refuse to perform artificial insemination of gays even given other willing doctors). Even if courts eventually find in favor of a defender of traditional marriage (highly improbable given today’s activist judges), think of the money – your money – that will be spent on such legal battles.

Pumpkin Patch

The kids and their cousins had a blast at the pumpkin patch. I think they loved the wagon most of all.

Great Grandma

Grandpa visits and we visit great grandma.

The kids had a great visit with great grandma this weekend. Then they we so surprised to see grandpa at our house. Grandpa was in town for work and was able to come over Sat. and all day Sun. They had a blast playing with grandpa.

Thank you grandma Tina for the wonderful costumes!! Marcus wanted to be Buzz so bad for Halloween, as you can see he's so proud. He loves the costume and wants to wear it all the time. He's the cutest Buzz ever!

Sweet Baby

Baby Dominic is growing so fast. He's a big 10lb baby already! We had a tough couple weeks with colic, but we got it under control. I changed his bottles, formula and started giving him all natural gripe water. He's been so happy ever since I made those changes. Our family is just so in love with our baby Domi!

Baby Dominic

Silly boy

Marcus wears mascara. This is not the first time, he loves to get into my make-up.
