PROUD to be an AMERICAN...

...I believe there are many flaws in her that only God could fix (not more governement bailouts or interventions or whatever); but I love America and think she is the greatest nation on earth! Here are a few pictures from a forum that John likes to go to (sometimes people just post the pictures they've taken and tell about the camers, conditions, etc. - please check out the pics THERE... as well as posting about other topics of interest to Mac users). I hope you enjoy them as much as I did... look carefully :) This one just finished swooping down to the water!

They were taken by the Lock and Dam #14 on the Mississippi River.

WOW!! God created this wonderful creature... 

and it is OUR national bird!!

an aspiring photographer...

These are some pictures that Kyria took of Mikalah!!

I know I'm a little biased, but they are quite good :)

I think she has great potential :)!!! She loves to get involved with whatever Daddy is doing, and he is currently learning as much about photography as he can. He loves to capture the moment... and help keep memories alive. Kyria is following right behind him! Of course, it doesn't hurt that Mommy loves photography also :)... 

This is one I took today :)

Mikalah Elisabeth... sitting pretty!!

Isn't she SWEET??? :)

Can I change my mind?

We had chili for supper on Saturday.  Kyria was less than thrilled when I told her and promptly requested a PBJ sandwich- which was refused. Then she saw something on the counter that looked yummy... and our conversation went something like this:

"What's that, Mommy?"

"It's a cake."

"Is it for dessert?"

"It can be."

"Mommy, I like chili. I'm going to eat it all gone."

"So you like chili because we have cake?"

"Yes."

She is crazy silly sometimes.

Hope it brought a smile to your mouth...
