Halloween

So for Halloween Grandma Hodgson sent Brett a puppy costume. Which he sported at the ward Halloween party. I wanted to play it safe this year, and not risk tainted candy, so we "trick or treated" at the church. He was super cute and had tons of fun. He also realized that there are sweeter things in life besides cookies(which are his favorite). We are slowly rationing out his candy and he enjoys every minute of it(and so are we).





Brett checking out the cute little Lion. Actually I don't think it was the lion he was after. Not pictured is a CD Player and if there is something that my boy loves, it is electronics!!

I Voted!!

Since I Voted via absentee ballot, I did not receive one of the cool little "I voted" stickers. So I figured that I would let you all know that I did my civic duty and voted. Thanks to the First Presidency for reminding me that even though I hate all the candidates, that I still needed to vote.

I voted against the proposition to raise Washington states sales tax(8.2% is too high). I voted for elderly caregiver to have a more strict rules and regulations and back ground checks(had personal experience). I voted against terminally ill patients to receivee lethal drugs(who are we to play God??). I voted against opening HOV lanes during certain hours to relieve congestion(which would also include more taxes).

As for specific people that I voted for I will leave that a mystery, I will tell you that I did vote for a few democrats and a few republicans. Man, I deserve a sticker!!

Who Are We Voting For?

Many people wonder who I am voting for this election, and I have tried to stay out of the all the politics for as long as I can. Sadly I just can't keep quiet for much longer, so for those of you whose vote hinges on mine. This is who I am voting for:

It isn't that I can't make up my mind, I can not in good faith vote for either candidate. I feel like they both will mess up and make things worse, no one can convince me otherwise. I am a registered republican, I agree with MOST of their ideals, I am a conservative. However I believe in crossing party lines to vote for someone who will get the job done RIGHT. I do not believe that either of these men can do that.

At one point I vowed not to vote in this election, but as I prayed about it I have felt that I need to vote now more then ever. As I have continued research, I have heard so many say that want to vote for the man that will help usher in the second coming(good idea). My only fear is that this election might not coincide with the Lords timing for the second coming, and then the economy will be even worse.

Our decision as a couple is to vote for the man who we believe is the lesser of the two evils. Then pray, pray that the Lord my guide them. Pray that they will pray, and listen to the Lord. There is nothing that the Lord doesn't care about.

I encourage you to pray about your decision before you vote and then pray for those who will eventually run our country. We need the Lord now more then ever!

Dentist Update

Initial Exam-$72.00
Child Cleaning-$62.00
Fluoride Child-$45.00

The Dentist

Brett got to make a surprise visit to the dentist this morning. Tuesday night he fell and chipped his beautiful front tooth :(. So we had to quickly find a dentist, after six calls and no one taking patients, I found Dr Wilson. She looked at his tooth and told me that there was no visible damage, but to watch it. She told me to remember C.A.M.P.
C- Color
A-Abscess
M-Mobility
P-?? (Shoot I already forgot, I think it was pain. Actually I don't think it was pain, gee I am a horrible mom!)

If any of these symptoms show up, then it is back to the dentist. She did have to smooth the tooth and Brett did not like that at ALL. I have never seen his so scared in his life, but like most things he got over it quickly. I did just for kicks schedule a routine cleaning for Monday!! I would recommend a pediatric dentist to anyone, they have cool offices(This Dr had suspended a train track from the ceiling.) I will try to get a picture of the damaged pearly white, but no luck so far!!
