Really Honked Off about Going Green!

Ok, here is my gripe. I have been making a very good attempt to be more conscious of what goes into landfills and preserving our beautiful country, blah, blah, blah. Now I am not talking about using cloth napkins or going to the bathroom outdoors or anything really drastic. But I have been trying to recycle. We use a lot of Milk jugs and plastic in general so I was feeling like we shouldn't just keep dumping it into the landfills. We also have bins in our garage for glass, aluminum, and steel (I know what you are thinking....that is over the top).
However, has anyone tried to recycle in our town?? Every time I go to take my stuff to the recycle bin it is full! Come on already, post a sign that says when they pick up that sh*t so I won't load my car and go down there when it is probably full( As if I am taking that stuff back to my house). And today I was so mad that I put the plastic in the aluminum and I don't feel bad about it at all. With every other commercial pushing America to go green, give us the tools already! Ok, I am done

Pimp Farley

Ross likes to wear costumes. Over the years, we have kept our Halloween costumes in the basement for the boys to play. They have a wide variety of pirates, ninjas, star wars and spider men (red & black). He combined some of them last week to come up with one of the coolest costumes ever... Pimp Farley.

On a side note, please keep him in your prayers as he is getting tubes in the morning. The doctor gave us a special on them and we couldn't pass it up. Hopefully, he will be able to hear better in the future. Right now, it is very selective. Thanks!

Luke's Birthday Pictures

Here are some of the best shots of the night. He really enjoyed this cake that Mommy made him. I think Cole shoved his face in the cake, but he is still denying it. He had a great time and got some awesome gifts. He wasn't really excited about opening presents last week, but this morning he really wants to help Mommy wrap presents for Christmas.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LUKE!!!

You guessed it! Luke turned one today. Well, actually tonight around 8 o'clock. I can't believe how fast this year went past. Makes me sad that he is already one. I think we should have more kids. What do you think?

Normally, I don't post political and leave that up to Uncle Bob, but this was too good to pass up! Click on the above-link for the full story.

Cole's Birthday Pictures

Here are some shots from his birthday. He really had a great day. We had a party for him with grandparents, uncles, aunts, etc. We even had a visit from Princess Lea and Queen Ashley. The sleepover went really well. The boys were very good. Finally, we had to tell them to go to bed at four in the morning. Cole got lots of great presents including this Nintendo DS and a kitty.

A+

Dr. Michael Smith gets an A+. He was done in about 10 minutes. Apparently, he has done this procedure several thousand times. I wonder if he gets paid by the hour? Anyway, we are home and Luke is doing just fine. He was crying earlier when the anesthesia wore off, but now he is happy and playing. Thanks for all the comments, thoughts & prayers.
