Pictures and Cake
What a day! It was productive and quite successful! Scott and I spent last night trying to figure out how to make a nice color of brown for frosting Kaden's Birthday cake. We finally gave up and went to bed. Today we woke up refreshed and started out the day taking the kids for their yearly pictures. They turned out so cute. They both smiled and set so well. Then we came home and started in on the cake again. I think it turned out pretty cute. :) Tomorrow's party should be a lot of fun!

A different kind of salad for Thanksgiving
Guest post written by Danielle Truman
Every time that we all get together for a family meal and I bring something to eat my younger brother always teases me that it's going to be some type of salad. I guess that I am kind of crazy about different kind of salads, but the thing about that is you can throw all kinds of stuff together and call it a salad. It's just really easy and most of the time doesn't require as much work as cooking a dish or a casserole or something like that. So I'm obviously a fan of salads.
But that makes me want to bring even more salads, so I tried to find something with my bundle clear internet that will be a salad that even he'll like and eat.
In the past he's turned up his nose at all kinds of stuff that I've fixed like fruit salads I've made with jello and stuff like that. But I think I'll make him green bean salad because he's always had a thing for green beans.

Birthday Girl!
Our daughter Kaelyn just turned 3! I can't believe how fast that time has gone. I always hear others talk of time flying, but now I am experiencing it myself.
We had a wonderful turn out for Kaelyn and she had such a good time! She was all smiles!

New York Knicks Look Good
The article written by Victor Flowers
My favorite basketball team is the New York Knicks. I love watching the Knicks play basketball. I normally loathed any team that is from New York but the Knicks are the exception. I am so excited that basketball season is here. I was able to watch preseason NBA basketball on satellite TV from http://www.directstartv.com/localchannels/Colorado/F/Ft-Collins/.
The preseason is a great time to watch basketball. During the preseason we can learn about how the players seem to be meshing together. The preseason is exciting because teams will tend to experiment with new plays that they have not normally used in the past. If the plays seem to work then they will keep them for the regular season.
The preseason also gives us a chance to see some of the bench warmers get some playing time. Many of these players that do not get very much playing time are actually very great basketball players. I enjoy seeing professional basketball players play who normally don't get much action.
My beloved New York Knocks are getting a lot of rebounds each game and that is great news. Rebounds are typically the key to many close games so I hope this is a sign that the Knicks will have a great season and be able to make it into the play-offs. I would love for the New York Knicks to be able to win a championship this year, but I will settle for them simply making it into the play-offs.

Ipad
Isn't it amazing how children can find their way around a computer. They are getting younger and younger. This is my nephew showing Kaelyn how to play games on the Ipad. They love it!

Some new romance reading
Guest post written by Kelly Brithaven
I'm all about reading some romance books, but I like ones that are a little funny and quirky instead of the ones that have really risque and dirty stuff. That is definitely not the kind of romance novels that I like to read. I also like romantic comedies, so that's probably why I love books that I like the novel equivalents of those.
I was online trying to find out about some new romance novel authors that I could read their books when I saw the site www.clearwirelessinternet4g.com and read through it. After consulting with my husband some, we decided to switch over our internet company to it.
I had heard some good things about her when I was browsing around online, so I bought some Nora Roberts books and am a few chapters into the first one of them. I recognized her name and some of the book covers from the times IÕve been browsing the romance section in Barnes and Noble and now I get why I always see her books there. TheyÕre really good!

1st Birthday
Can you believe it's the middle of November already? It's hard to believe that in 6 short days my baby will turn 1! We brought him home from the hospital last Thanksgiving and I know all parents say it...but it seems like just yesterday. Now he's saying a couple words, almost walking, and has brought so much joy into our family from the moment he was born. Every stage is fun, but it's sad to see each one go.

Octopus Habitat Here We Come
Author: Valentine Pratt
Our family visited the aquarium this weekend. My husband and I always discuss whether or not we remembered to set the adt security alarm after we get into the car and, as a result, our youngest son has grown quite curious as to why we are so concerned about setting it. We explained that an alarm keeps people from taking our valuables.
At the aquarium, our first stop was at the new octopus habitat. It was amazing! Then we enjoyed a picnic lunch outside on the beach. The kids picked up shells and some neat rocks for their collection.
After lunch we went to the kids' area. Every month the aquarium has a new activity for the kids to enjoy. This month they were making jewelry from freshwater pearls. The kids were allowed to pick their own oyster. If there was no pearl inside, they were allowed to pick another. The kids were amazed to learn that pearls were made by oysters. They briefly discussed how they could become "kazillionaires" if they lived at the beach. But the funniest comment of all was when my son looked at his oyster being pryed open and said, "Sorry little guy. You should have set the alarm."

CSI
I have watched CSI for many years now. It seems to keep my interest. My husband and I started to watch CSI Miami, but it just didn't stick for us. We do watch CSI New York some. It's pretty good also. It's tough to find the time however.

The Blair Chuck tornado
Guest post written by Brooke Smith
There's something that any good drama TV show needs, well drama. But there's something that only a great drama TV show has, a couple that's kind of evil and stirs up trouble but not quite enough to where you hate them for it. That's why I love Gossip Girl, because for a great part of the show so far they've been stirring up all kinds of trouble and making it even better.
A few days ago when I was on the internet with my CLEAR internet Wimax I got to thinking about them when I was buying some DVDs of old seasons of Gossip Girl and realized that even though they've started trouble for a lot of different people on the show, other people have started a lot of trouble for them.
For example, Chuck's uncle started all kinds of trouble for teh couple last season and also compromised the ownership of Chuck's hotel empire. Even though they may not be in a perfect state right now, I'm pulling for Gossip Girl Blair and Chuck to pull through together in the end.
