Killer New House!.........NOT!

Ok, so they say if you can survive building a house that you can survive anything! I am not so sure about that. I feel like I am going to have a heartattack! Everyday that I go by the house there is something else that has gone wrong. For those of you who know that stories about my next door neighbor, well, they haven't gotten any better. In fact, our landscaper told us that the other day he swatted at one of the workers because his hand was too close to his property. I never thought that moving back to UT that I would end up living next to the neighbor from HELL!!!! Hopefully, he will calm down, but I doubt it. He is just someone who is miserable and needs to make others lives just as bad.

As far as the house goes, hopefully, it should be finished by the end of the month. At least that's what our builder is telling us. I hope to have everyone over as soon as its complete! One good thing, I have my Obama for President sign in my yard!!! First things first!

Politics!

I thought that this picture was a classic! Lincoln is watching CNN so intently, I guess that he is named Lincoln for a reason. Since the current election, I am obsessed with Politics! I am actually taking an interest for the first time and I am enthusiastic about it. I am a total "Obama Mama" all the way! I was so inspired by his speech last week that it made me want to go out and volunteer and I actually signed up! I think that everyone in my family thinks that I am a little nuts but that's OK. I feel proud that I am so involved and I care so much about the outcome. Its funny because when I ask Alex, "who's going to be the next President?", he will say, "Bama!" Maybe I have trained him to say that but he actually sat down and watched Obama speak! Now you no that he must be an amazing speaker if he can get a 3 yr old to sit still for more than 5 minutes.............. I talk to my Mom and tell her how excited I am about Obama and she says that Obama is for me like Kenedy was for her! I am excited that something so great is happening in my lifetime, this is definitely a memorable moment! GO OBAMA!!!!

Good old Arctic Circle!

Today Alex went to the park with his little brother and his cousins, Freestone and Xanthe, and a few other lively boys! He had a great time just being a "boy". After the playground, we went to Arctic Circle, which really took me back to my childhood days with the kiddie cones! Yummy. While at Arctic Circle, Roland and I witnessed utter madness. Since Roland and I aren't around kids that much, we were starting to wonder if Alex was behaving like a normal 3 1/2 yr old or if he was just really "over the top"! But, after today, I can honestly say that he is completely normal. I turned to my husband and said, "this is great therapy". I especially noticed that little boys have a totally different way of interacting with each other, than little girls do. And his little brother, Lincoln, who is 9 1/2 months, had this look on his face like he was watching a three ring circus! I guess that this is something that I will have to get used to, being an only child and of the female gender. Thank Heaven for little boys and there wild imaginations!
