Really Sad

Hey Dallee Jo Bean I love you!

I found this cute pic of you and thought I would add your precious face to the day!

So, you know what's really sad to me??? When you post a couple of different blogs and the only people that comment on them are yourselves and your 14-year-old nephew that's giving you crap. That is pretty pathetic for us :0)

The Mann's have been super busy! I thought McKinley would be talking before I had a chance to post and give an update..... Believe me she's well on her way!

We found out Rylan has to be put to sleep to have his teeth worked on and a couple of them capped so he can actually keep them for a few years. He's been having a lot of toothaches and such, so we finally had to do something about that one. If any of you know Ammon and I you know that we are like the poster children for the most fillings in a mouth. I took a many a walks down to the dentist in Bicknell and I guess this is just one of those walks for Rylan that won't stop til he's 30. Bless his heart.....

Nothin else to really report. I've been observing some different schools for one of my classes and what I've found out is that Mr. Peterson really was a good teacher. He was a lot more dedicated and interested in our success than some of the people I'm meeting and talking to in this district. retirement won't come fast enough for them and the kids they torture everyday. I just hope you all realize the great teachers you once had, and be glad you don't have to ever have the crappy ones again. Hell I hope I can be one of those that kids want to have.

We're excited for Halloween I guess. I just barely broke down and got the kids' costumes yesterday. Nothin like the last minute, so we'll be posting some cute pics of a little Pirate Mate and little Tink.

P.S. Are we all as ready for this Damned election to be over as I am? I can't wait to stop listening to the backbiting and bickering bullsh**t! Heaven help us pick the right ones for the job!

This picture says it all!

I need not say a thing the photo speaks volumes. Pass the message!

1,2,3 guess who's off her knees????

Yes my little McKinley is walking. She had decided the crawling thing is outdated and she wants to keep up with the rest of us and walk. She's been so cute wabbling and learning how to stay upright. She is not quite 11 months yet, but she is well on her way to the big 1 year!!! I think these pictures are so cute of her and just wanted to share the big news of the week at our house!

This picture below is the silly sister doing her new thing of laying on the floor practically under my feet while I'm in the kitchen trying to cook or whatever. She's such a little ball of fire and a cuddly little precious munchkin! Notice the lip thing. I don't know how she learned to do it, but it's really cute. Oh, and by the way, the poor child does have another scary hairdo, I promise it's cute before the removal of the hair thingy :o) She'll probably hate me when she's old enough to look back at these pictures.

Food For Thought

This little saying is compliments of Joe Brown...(aka Nate) you know who you are. You sent me an adorable email the other day and it put a smile on my face. I just loved this little poem and picture. For some reason it really does seem like the minute we step foot out of bed the wind starts blowing against us. If only I could remember throughout the day how I'm supposed to act....... Joe, you're a good example and you're so precious. I love your innocence. Keep sending the cute pics.
