Quote

I saw this quote today and found it interesting how much it can be applied to these times:

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance given to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."

Cicero- 55 BC

Hmmm.....Remind me again, what happened to Ancient Rome?

TGIF

I know, I haven't posted anything forever. I'm usually just on my IPod when I'm at home, and I can't post anything from it. If I can, I haven't figured out how, yet! I just have to say I soooooo glad it's Friday. I hope I make it through the day. I only got about 3, maybe 4 hours of sleep last night. Connor has an ear infection, so he was up crying the majority of the night. And Blake has RSV, so I'm parinoid about his breathing most of the night. No fun! I just need some serious sleep!

More Pictures

The kids went and got pictures taken at Dave and Elka's studio the other day. Here are a few. They are so cute!

The only way to keep Connor happy was to let him hold the remote to his toy.

Such opposites. Don't ask me where the blue eyes came from!

I love this little outfit!

He looks sooo grown up!

Grandma stole his binki!

Doesn't he look like he's plotting something?

I love his chins!

Thanks again Grandma Carol, Uncle Dave, and Auntie Elka!

Friday

Another Friday is here, time for another Friday post. Yay! It's Friday! I cannot wait to get off work. Maybe, if I'm lucky, I might get to get a little bit of much needed sleep this weekend. I doubt it, though. Connor thinks sleeping in means waking up at 7:30 instead of 7.

Hmmm....

Well, I figure I should post something, since I haven't for a while. I don't really have anything to say, though. Amazing, I have nothing to say!! That doesn't happen too often!

Pictures

As promised, here are a few pictures. Mainly from Christmas, a little late, but hey, I'm trying!!





I think Blake is a little nervous!

Blake's favorite present.

Kinda fuzzy, sorry!

Connor's trampoline from Grandma and Grandpa Tingey.

I'll post more later. Getting kinda tired!

Blakers

First off, yay, it's Friday!! Ok, now that that's out of the way... Blake rolled over for the first time today!!! I wasn't able to see it cause I'm at work, but Nick call me and told me about it. Luckily he was able to record it for me on the camcorder so I can watch it when I get home. He's growing up so dang fast!!

Finally!

So I finally got our wireless internet set up at home. Yay! No thanks to Best Buy! I just called the support for the wireless router and they got me all set up. Now I can start adding pics to my blog again. So happy!!

Facebook

So I finally decided to join Facebook. I have no idea what I'm doing on there, and since I'm usually at work when I'm online, I can't really use it much. I guest we'll see how it goes!!

Friday

I almost forgot to do my Friday post. Well, here it is...Wahoo! It's Friday!! The tradition lives on!!!

Just so you know

Our internet at home still isn't working (it's been out for almost two weeks now! GRRR!) That's why I haven't posted any pictures for a while. I can only blog from work. I'll post more pics soon, hopefully!! Gotta get some of Blake up, while he's still kinda little!

Changes...

Well, we have a new president now. I hope he can do all he's promised. I will say this, he's a powerful speaker. I avoided listening to him speak until today. Lets all keep our fingers crossed that the next 4 years will go well. I'm just glad I'm not him!

Wahoo!

I think I'm going to write something every Friday saying how glad I am that it's Friday!! I need the weekend so bad right now! I think I thought it was already Saturday this morning, cause I slept in way late and was late to work. Crappy!! Oh well, only a little bit longer and I'll be done and the weekend will have begun!! Yeah!!

Grrrr!

Can I just say how annoyed I am with Best Buy?! I cannot get our wireless internet set up on our computer, and they want me to pay them $80 just to talk to them. Even though we paid extra to buy the Geek Squad coverage, and it's obviously a problem with the computer. How annoying!!

TGIF...

I'm so glad it's Friday! I need a weekend real bad! It didn't snow too much last night. Wahoo! It's a sign that this will be a very good weekend!

Phew...

In case anyone was wondering, my little car and I did make it home last night. And it has finally stopped snowing. Wahoo!! At least until Friday, when it's supposed to snow again. Is winter almost over yet?!!

Holy Crap!

Will it please stop snowing! It's been snowing here for over 24 hours, non-stop! I don't think my little car is going to make it home from work today. Lets all keep our fingers crossed!

Happy 2009!

Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a fun and safe time. So I never said I would blog a ton, but it has been a while! Just thought I'd post a few pics from the holidays. Some are from the annual Santa party at Aunt Jeri's and some are from the Slater Christmas party up at Mutual Dell. Enjoy!

Don't know that I really like this pic of me at the top of the list, but Blake looks so cute in his snow suit!!

I promise I don't weigh 300 lbs. I had on several layers, I promise. It was way cold!

Connor LOVES sledding and the snow. What a cutie!
