Amazing Snow!

This is what we woke up to this morning... if you click on the images you can see a lot better!

WORST MOVIE EVER MADE...

We rented the above movie from Redbox last night with the Wakefields. For some reason we were fooled into thinking this was a comedy. We had rented another movie as well that seemed more serious so we decided to go with the "comedy"... we were right about one thing... this movie was a joke. NEVER waste your money on it!!!!! Just a quick run down... guy thinks he is dying.... guy buys older house... the image of Christ appears on the exterior wall... its bleeds tears... need I continue?! So Friday night... good food... good company... lamest movie ever!

TV FREE

Ok so I just wanted to update everyone on our TV fast. I am proud to say that we have not hooked up the cable back to the TV. We have been doing just fine without it!

TV Free Day 1

Andrea and I have decided that the TV is something that we would like to cut out of our lives for a while... we are starting with a 30 day challenge to not watch TV. Don't get me wrong we are not the type of people that think all kids should be home schooled and that TV is the root of all evil. I guess you could say we are trying to go through a TV detox. We have just enjoyed too many shows.... American Idol, CSI Las Vegas, CSI New York, CSI Miami, Cold Case, Without a Trace, Pysch, 24, Amazing Race, America's Funniest Home Videos, Dog the Bounty Hunter, and too many more to list. We thought a DVR would help but that just helped us watch more of the shows we liked. We could literally come home from work and watch non stop pure entertainment until it was time for bed. So I am hoping to use the blog to help with accoutability of what we are up to.

You are welcome to join us in this challenge!!!! Here is a site I found with tips on how to cut TV out of your life... trashyourtv.com

What is wrong with our world?

I found these on FoxNews today... Is this upsetting to anyone else? Not to get too "churchy" but do you think the prophets of old saw people like this when they saw our day?

Family Home Painting

We decided to paint last night using water color... no this is not the Crayola variety... we had a lot of fun doing it... the tree is my creation and the flowers are Andrea's.

Dangerous Times

I am the only one who found this shocking? Is it not ok to listen to people who don't agree with President Hussein? Sorry I am not drinking the Kool-aid Obama!

Obama: Quit Listening to Rush Limbaugh if You Want to Get Things Done

Obama warned Republicans to quit listening to Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats, during a White House discussion on his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.

WASHINGTON -- President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.

"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.

One White House official confirmed the comment but said he was simply trying to make a larger point about bipartisan efforts.

"There are big things that unify Republicans and Democrats," the official said. "We shouldn't let partisan politics derail what are very important things that need to get done."

That wasn't Obama's only jab at Republicans today.

While discussing the stimulus package with top lawmakers in the White House's Roosevelt Room, President Obama shot down a critic with a simple message.

"I won," he said, according to aides who were briefed on the meeting. "I will trump you on that."

The response was to the objection by Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) to the president's proposal to increase benefits for low-income workers who don't owe federal income taxes.

Foxnews article.... http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,480167,00.html

Tom Hanks, an Executive Producer for HBO’s controversial polygamist series “Big Love,” made his feelings toward the Mormon Church’s involvement in California's Prop 8 (which prohibits gay marriage) very clear at the show’s premiere party on Wednesday night.

“The truth is this takes place in Utah, the truth is these people are some bizarre offshoot of the Mormon Church, and the truth is a lot of Mormons gave a lot of money to the church to make Prop-8 happen,” he told Tarts. “There are a lot of people who feel that is un-American, and I am one of them. I do not like to see any discrimination codified on any piece of paper, any of the 50 states in America, but here's what happens now. A little bit of light can be shed, and people can see who's responsible, and that can motivate the next go around of our self correcting Constitution, and hopefully we can move forward instead of backwards. So let's have faith in not only the American, but Californian, constitutional process.”

When informed of the "Forrest Gump" star's comments, Kim Farah, a spokesperson for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, told Tarts, "Expressing an opinion in a free and democratic society is as American as it gets."

Bill McKeever, a rep for the Mormonism Research Ministry, added, "Personally, I find it un-American to tell people that they shouldn’t vote their conscience. Hanks said he doesn’t 'like to see any discrimination codified on any piece of paper.' Considering that just about every law discriminates in some form or another, makes this comment ridiculous. Hanks’ comment shows that he very much believes in discriminating against people with whom he disagrees. I may not agree with Mormon theology, but I certainly defend their right to express their opinion."
