Rocket Family Road Trip!!

Okay, I know I told you guys about this back in February when Shawn first got it started, but for many of you, you were only able to see the first few posts. Now there are 50! I think they have found more of their stride and I am loving their current story line! I just wanted to send a note out for all of you to go and check out what Shawn and his friend Issac are up to. Hopefully someday it will make us some money, in the mean time, enjoy!

Penelope

Okay, I just have to tell everyone about my new favorite movie! It is called Penelope and it is this adorable modern-day fairy tale! It came out last tuesday on DVD and as an added bonus it has some exclusive Twilight movie stuff on it! I just have to tell you all that you HAVE to see this movie- it is wonderful! Watch it with someone special! Enjoy!

More Twilight!!!

More cute kid stories . . .

Abby went up to Emma (Shawn's sister) today- she was carrying a cup of water full of ice and water. She handed it to Emma, who asked if it was Abby's drink and Abby replied, "No, I made it for you." "Thanks Abby." "Welcome- can I have some candy now?"

Lucas will often come up to me and give me a huge hug and kiss and tell me that he loves me. Then he will ask if he can play a video game or have candy or ice cream- I think they have figured something out!

Also- Lucas will often come up to me and ask me for help with something by saying something like this:
"Mommy, can you let me have some ice cream because I love you!"
How do you say no to that?

Just a quick, cute story

Yesterday Abby was riding in the car with Shawn's Mom, Sherri. Sherri was talking to a friend about some good news that she had just received and said to her friend that Cory would be so excited that he would wet his pants. Abby said loudly from the backseat, "If Grandpa pee's in his pants then he will be in Big Trouble!"

Paul Harvey- I got this as a forward and decided rather than forward it, I would blog it.

HOORAY, HOORAY ... have been grumbling and wondering how a handful of people have been able to take our right to pray in public places away from us. So, agreeing with Paul, I GLADLY will forward this email AGAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN.


Folks, this is the Month that we RE-TAKE AMERICA
********* Get Ready *********


Keep this going around the globe .. read it and forward every time you receive it. We can't give up on this issue.

Paul Harvey and Prayer


Paul Harvey says:

I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I don't agree with Darwin, but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his Theory of Evolution.

Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game. So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the entire Book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home from the game.

But it's a Christian prayer, some will argue.

Yes, and this is the United States of America , a country founded on Christian principles. According to our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumb er all others better than 200-to- 1. So what would you expect -- somebody chanting Hare Krishna?

If I went to a football game in Jerusalem , I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.

If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad , I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.

If I went to a ping pong match in China , I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.

And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit.
When in Rome ...

But what about the atheists? Is another argument.

What about them? Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer!
Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at a football game is going to shake the world's foundations.

Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep. Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying.

God, help us. And if that last sentence offends you, well, just sue me.

The silent majority has been silent too long. It's time we tell that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard that the vast majority doesn't care what they want. It is time that the majori ty rules! It's time we tell them, You don't have to pray; you don't have to say the Pledge of Allegiance; you don't have to believe in God or attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your right; but by golly, you are no longer going to take our rights away. We are fighting back, and we WILL WIN!

God bless us one and all ... especially those who denounce Him , God bless America, despite all her faults. She is still the greatest nation of all. God bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right to pray and worship God.


Let's make 2008 the year the silent majority is heard and we put God back as the foundation of our families and institutions ... and our military forces come home from all the wars.

Keep looking up.


If you agree with this, please pass it on.
If not delete it.
'AND THAT'S THE REST OF THE STORY'

I got this in an e-mail and thought I wanted to share it with everyone- enjoy!

Installing Husband 1.0

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance -- particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0 In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0, NBA 3.0. and Golf Clubs 4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate

Dear Desperate:

First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System. Please enter the command: "http: I Thought You Loved Me.htm" and try to download Tears 6.2, and don't forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. But remember, overuse of the above applications can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources). Also, do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash! Husband 1.0. In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.

You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck,
Tech Support
