Keizer Wastewater Reclamation Center

For a scouting activity we arranged a trip to the Keizer waste water reclamation center. It was very pretty full of information. I hope the boys really had a good time. Below are a few of the pictures that were taken.

Beach trip!!!

Back in October there was day that the elementary schools in the area had no school and the rest did. So we took Kellen with us(friend of mickey) to the beach. Now since Sam is in middle school she had classes!! It was a little drizzlie but all in all a good day. We went and played at the Regatta Park in Lincoln City then went down to the Hatfield Marine Science Center.

Mickey and Kellen playing with water on the bridge.


Everyone loves a good game of tag.

A Seagull we were walking towards, he didn't like us.

Wendy Birds

I have discovered what is called The "Wendy Bird".
It is what I call a person that is so hard to work with and use common sense towards. It is someone that as Tinkerbell said in peter pan, " that a terrible Wendy Bird was heading their way - and that Peter had ordered them to knock it down."
So the Lost Boys used their catapults and peashooters to knock the Wendy Bird out of the sky.
This is what I really want to do, I don't want to play nice any more and cant stand it that said person gets babied so we don't make her up set. Hmm, where can I find my own lost boys?

AAHHH Crap

I cant understand how we can(not myself) but all others did in vote for someone for president that doesn't acknowledge the flag and the beliefs of fellow Americans. I might as well of not even voted. I don't care about anything else but the fact that he is not about the beliefs of being American. I am teaching my kids about the respect we show to the flag and why it is so important to us. Now we have a president that does not.

All i can say is crap.

Respect

Senator Barack Obama, Governor Bill Richardson, Senator Hillary Clinton and Ruth Harkin stand during the national anthem.Barack Hussein Obama's photo ......
the article said he REFUSED TO NOT ONLY PUT HIS HAND ON HIS HEART DURING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, BUT REFUSED TO SAY THE PLEDGE.....
How in the hell can a man like this expect to be our next Commander-in-Chief????

He does or he doesnt he just decides when he wants to. Hmmm, what a wonderful role model for us to have imprint on our kids.
