Why I cant stand the "green" movement...

Abortion Worldwide

Annually, 46 million babies die from abortion worldwide. That’s approximately one baby being aborted every two seconds.

Abortion in the United States

An estimated 48 million babies have been aborted since 1973. Approximately 24% of all U.S. pregnancies end in abortion.

And they're screaming about dying trees? In a forest Full of them? Imagine them saying all this inside a planned parenthood...they would be starkly contrasted with reality and maybe for once the little lightbulbs would begin to flicker in their misguided brains and agendas.

AMAZING LEMON CHICKEN RECIPE!!!!!!!

Okay, so I love love lemony, caper-y, delicious chicken, but it always seems so scary to try to make, but fear not my friends..fear not. I have found the bomb recipe!! I wanted something quick, easy and very similar to a dish I had at a sicilian cafe here in chico. And this recipe totally hits the spot...I add a big huge squeeze of lemon over the top of everything...and we served this with angel hair pasta tossed with mozz. cheese and butter and some veggies...it does use a lot of butter...but really...butter isn't THAT bad for you...and the result is not at all heavy, in fact you feel like you're eating something super fresh, healthy and high class..which is pretty fantastic I must say...SO! here goes...Melt in your mouth lemon chicken.

Reagan Olivia...

February 24th 2010, at 4:51pm, we welcomed a chubby, delightful 8lb 8oz darling into our little brood. Welcome to our world little Reagan...yes, we changed the name, actually, we had never totally settled on Kennedi, but a few folks had some very vocal, very opposed reactions to a..uh..name, so we kept our other choice to ourselves and waited to see what she felt like...her names on the birth certificate so you're stuck with Reagan Olivia folks..ha. sheesh. Really, its not the name that makes the girl, its the girl that makes the name...ahem. thats all. I'm so in love...so head over heels, this little one is so sweet and her eyes already look so contemplative and observant, can't wait to show her our life! She was born Cesearan, which made me sad but when I have time I'll explain the miracle of that whole situation!

WELCOME REAGAN!!!
