An Awesome Halloween!

Halloween has always been  a big celebration for our family. It is my Dad's birthday so growing up we had a lot of traditions. Of course I have continued these with my family. We always have  homemade chili and I make our favorite sugar cookies. It's even more fun now that I have the help from the girls. Not much dressing up this year but Madeline went to school and parties as a nerd and Vanessa didn't dress up. We don't get trick or treaters either so we provide our own each year in the entry way. I love this holiday and want to say Happy Belated Birthday to my dad!

Our only little trick or treaters

YES on Prop 8!

What a great opportunity it has been for us to get political. Standing out there for PROP 8 has been an awesome experience. It feels good to know we can make a difference just by sharing our views and standing for something. It's so important for the family that YES on PROP 

8 passes. It will keep marriage between a man and a woman, which is what God intended. YES on  PROP 8. Get out there and vote on Tuesday, it's important for us to get involved in our country's  political process.
