52 Days til November 6, 2012


 I must say that I have had politics on the mind!
I have even questioned a career change lately.
(don't worry, I didn't do it)
But I have spent most of my extra time looking for 
vintage Republican decor.
I believe it is important to pass down my values
to my children, and I can't think of a better
way than to hang a few on the walls of our home.
 This is a vintage ladies scarf with the history of the GOP stitched on it.
 Another vintage print with pictures of our Republican Leaders.
 A burlap bag from the 1976 Republican Convention.
 A Republican Thimble that states, 
"Straight Republican Ticket"
 The entire collection from my
Grandma Dryer.
If I can influence any of you,
please vote Straight Republican,
vote for liberty!

Baby Shower Scrapbook

 I just finished this scrapbook for my sweet sister!
She is expecting her first baby this October.
 At the shower, I asked each person invited to write 
predictions for 
Griffin James Eich!
 It was so fun to read everyone's predictions
on when he will be born, how big he will be, 
what career he will have and 
what his favorite things
will be!
 I did try to place each person's picture
by the predictions that they wrote.
I also had fun trying to 
remember what each person gave to Kalee,
and I tried to include a picture of that too!
 Stephanie did so much!!
She brought food, colored m & m's and the 
cutest gift.
 It was so fun to see the gifts that everyone brought!
 Sorry, Heather, I am having trouble trying to 
figure out how to turn this picture!
 Jackie! I love Kalee's face at the bottom
right corner.
 Sweet Angie and her daughter came to the shower!
 Look at this cute tuxedo that Brenda brought!
 Lyssa Massie! I had a fun time creating
phrases that I thought Kalee said!
 Pam, I wanted everyone to see the 
amazing fruit salad that you made!
the entire spread
 the mama
 her sweet friend from Durango even
made the drive!
 the nurse!
 Dana and her sweet mom!
 Sorry, Jan, another one I was unable to turn!
 And I completely flipped Jan's mom around!
 Aunt Amy and her daughter Megan were able to come!
 Megan's page!
 This page is all about my cousin Renee,
she is so sweet!
 I love this face!
Bonny is a great friend of my mama's!
 the Yolo onesie was a big hit!
 Irenie!! The other nurse!
 Of course, I had to dedicate a page to myself!
And the Republican bib!
 Kalee had so many cool things that
were homemade that I made an
entire page of the gifts!
 Coleman, the dad!
Again, just tilt your head!
The End

the Harbinger



This is what I am listening to
while I am writing my
Happy Birthday letter to Dennis Prager!

Dennis Prager

 I have a dear friend at work, let's call him Scott.
Scott came up to me one day a few months ago and said,
"You are just one of those 'Happy' people, aren't you?"...
I was not sure of what he meant, 
but he went on to reference Dennis Prager and his "Happiness Hour"...
I wanted to learn more! 
I have fallen into love with the radio show that Dennis Prager has!
Dennis is probably one of the brightest minds I have ever heard.
Each and every time I listen to him, I learn so much!
I now listen to him daily,
listen to his "Happiness Hour" weekly, 
his "Male and Female" hour weekly,
and of course his ask anything hour.
 For Father's Day, I even bought my dad this book!
Dennis Prager wrote "Still the Best Hope"
and it is amazing! 
America is still the best hope, 
and we still need to believe
"In God We Trust"

I love this Land!

Happy Fourth of July!
 One of my favorite holidays!
We have had an awesome day at the pool,
then on to the parents' house for a
BBQ!
I even managed to hang 
some new buntings!
Love them!

Maybe next year, we will
be able to enjoy fireworks again.
Still praying for the many who
have lost their homes with the 
fires this past month.
God Bless!

My Centennial Babe Ruth Little League Champs!

 I believe this to be the first of many years of
 little league with the 
CYBRSA!
Parker was on the Blue Jays (one of the youngest)
and they had a great season. It is the first year
for kid pitch, and there were many battle scars.
 He loved 2nd base, eating sunflower seeds and being 
the team comedian.
He even came up with the team chant!

Turner was on the 
Reds 
T-ball team!

 He was a natural and took 
everything very seriously.

 I absolutely loved going to each and every game!
And cannot wait til next year!

Way to Go McClellan Boys!
Now onto swimming!

Muffins with Mom

 What a precious morning!
I was invited to Turner's preschool for 'Muffins with mom'
 He had made me a placemat, a bouquet, chocolate chip 
muffins and practiced a song!
 Each child put on their sunglasses and put on a performance
for us! It was awesome!
 Yes, Turner may be the cutest kid in the world!
 And I am the proudest mom!
Thank you Ms. Nicki and Ms. Jen for 
such a memory maker!
