Christmas Morning 2008

Merry Christmas from the Puyallup Winter Wonderland. After many years of wishing we finally got our White Christmas. I took some pictures from around the house so you can get the effect. The sun even came out for a while which just added to the beautiful Christmas setting. The rest of the pictures are Marlena, Ryan, Marcilyn and I opening presents this morning. It is wonderful to have Ryan and Marcilyn with us for Christmas this year as Marcilyn was in London and Ryan on this mission in Ogden Utah. We are having a lot of fun with them. Of course I am in Aloha Christmas mode. We miss everyone who is not here and all the sweet grand children but it has been fun to talk to everyone today. Love to all and to all a Merry Christmas!!

I hate politicians

It's been Marlena's birthday long enough.

I like how McCain keeps harping on Obama for raising taxes. Really? Really?

And depending on what kind of small business you own, or are starting one candidate will benefit you, while the other will hurt you.

It looks like McCain's claim that Obama is raising taxes is crap for most americans. It is true that there are some tax breaks that Obama will allow to exprire, such as estate tax, but for most americans there is a larger income tax break.

I really hate how both will make the others plans look completely idiotic when neither is amazing and are't as different as they would like us to believe.

Don't worry, this is my last political blog. I just can help myself .... Sorry .... Sorry.

Happy Birthday Momma

It's the best day of the year! Happy Birthday Mom. I just want you to know how much I love you. You are truly the best Mom and the greatest Grandma ever. Today I celebrate YOU. Thanks for all of the fun and happiness and goodness you bring to our lives. Thanks for always taking the time to chat on the phone. Thanks for everything you are. I love you.

Happy Marce Day

We are celebrating this auspicious day here in the land of people who miss you! Happy Birthday Marcilyn!!
