Splish Splash I was takin' a bath...
I have a cuter video of Gavin splashing like crazy in the bath tub but it was too long, I guess, and it wouldn't upload. So here is this one instead!

Vote Ron Paul For President!!!
Well I have come to the conclusion that our government has dug ourselves in such a deep hole that we have to get a president in office that will stop the digging, or we will have a very bleak future. Our government has managed to get our national debt to $9 Trillion Dollars , and they will owe another $41 Trillion to pay Americans in "entitlement benefits" down the road (you know, things like social security, Medicare, etc.) bringing our real national debt figures to roughly $50 trillion dollars. In the year 2006 the government spent over $406 Billion Dollars alone in paying interest on our debts. Our country spends over $553 Billion dollars a year on military expenditures, where the next highest runner up in the world is the U.K, spending only $65 Billion. Why do we need to spend so much money on military expenditures???? We borrow 2.5 billion dollars a day to feed the current budget. If the notes payable came due for that money today, that would mean each person would have to come up with $175,000 to pay the debt. The truth is America can’t afford to continue on the path we are on without bankrupting our country. Currently our government just simply "prints more money" to take care of the shortfall. Doing that will only continue to devalue our dollar and raise inflation. That is why I fully support presidential candidate Ron Paul. He is hands down the Best Candidate! Go to his website here and check out his views on all the issues, get involved, and get this guy into office!!
Watch these clips too!

Halloween Pictures...
Gavin was a monkey for Halloween this year. I decided to buy the monkey costume since that is what we call him all of the time! "You little monkey" can often be heard at our house. I'm not sure if we call him that because he likes to climb on things or because he loves bananas so much. Maybe all of the above. He sure was a cute little monkey though! During the day Gavin and I went out to Tremonton to spend some time with my family and let them see him in his costume. There is a business there called "Picture Perfect" and every year on Halloween they set up a cute backdrop and take pictures of the trick-or-treaters in their costumes. So I took Gavin in and got his taken. It brought back so many fun memories of when I was younger. I was asking Brent what some of his costumes were growing up and he couldn't remember any. I remember being Raggedy Ann one year and then I was a Punk Rocker a bunch of times! I also remember one year when my uncle Jason (who is an artist) painted my face like a skeleton! It was awesome! Anyway, I love Halloween for the fact that it gives us an excuse to get together and have some fun. I also love how people get so excited and go all out for the holidays!
