Alex's Self Taught Gymnastics

This kid is amazing. He hasn't had a gymnastics class and he's been doing this kind of stuff all week. Sorry about the bad words in the song, it was on the radio... and it's a cool song.. sorry.

First Day of School

Here are a few photos of the first day of school for Alex... and Hanna (she went to preschool). But she's alreay a preschool drop out she doesn't like Kids Park because they don't have her sit at a desk. That's ok, Kids park is hardly a preschool. That was my fault. But she does start "real" preschool on this coming Monday.

Hanna's Recital

Hannalora's recital was last week and it was SO MUCH FUN! I love having a girly girl! She got to do a little solo as tinkerbell. She runs across the stage a few times and the other Disney Princesses pick her up. She loved being the star! She loves ballet. She loves make-up. She loves glitter. She loves costumes. She loves flowers. This was her perfect day. I love to see her that happy. Thanks to Cheleyne for helping her and hooking her up with all the right connections to experience this perfect day!

Yeah, California passed a Budget!

I am so glad our jacked up state passed a buget today. I know the cuts were painful but I gotta hand it to the Republicans that would not allow the tax increases. In this state, it's all about the CUTS! But, there is even more work to be done. Let's hack a bunch off welfare. We saw first hand how flawed this system is. It's set up for people to join for life. Not temporary help as it was in our case. I'd like to see a community volunteer government subsidsed thing for the poor. Less red tape. More results. Oh and lets fix the health care dibacle and do something huge about the immigration problems. Or, what about bigger prison cuts? Lets let all the pot smokers run free, we can't afford to lock up these guys! Nor would we want to, they are hilarious.

There have been big cuts to education. I hear a lot of parents in the area that are outraged about the cuts to education. I personally would not have cut education. But, I'm ok, I can deal with it. C'mon peeps, it's not money that makes a child educated. It's really important to have: a safe school, a decent teacher, involved parents, healthy family meals, avalible parents, and maybe a few books, pencils, papers. It's not that complicated really. Music and sports are good but, hello.... we can do those cheaper. Volunteer anyone? Problem? Ohhhh, I see people have no time. Well, I have a solution for that but I won't go into it. If the teacher child ratio goes up then my parent involvement will go up. Or even if the Folsom landscaping budget gets cut then my community landscaping volunteering time goes up. You get the point.

I understand, that when you are addicted to spending money (you don't have) it's hard to have it taken away. But we'll survive. No big woop. The bottom line is, YOU CAN'T SPEND MONEY you don't have. If you are spending too much you either raise taxes or cut stuff. I'm all for cutting stuff. Th truth is, you can live in the woods and not die... and it would be pretty much FREE. It's true. Money complicates everything... if you let it.

I love this, The plan for our country getting money

Go See the Movie 'Food Inc.'

Justin and I went to see 'Food Inc' at The Crest. It's eye an opening documentary about where our food comes from. You'll see how the government is enabling unhealthy foods to be mass marketed and sold all while protecting select business at the expense of your health and honest farmers. The worst part is seeing the UGLY Truth about how we treat animals. I hope you will see it! We've changed our eating habits with this new awareness. You will want to too!
