2009 Fargo/Moorhead Flood

Below is a post from the Boston Globe's website from a reader who commented on the Fargo flood story. This is what makes me proud to be from ND!!

Just a personal observation...as I watched the news coverage of the
massive flooding in the Midwest with the levee's about to break in Fargo, ND, what amazed me is not what we saw, but what we didn't see...
1. We don't see looting.
2. We don't see street violence.
3. We don't see people sitting on their rooftops waiting for the
government to come and save them.
4. We don't see people waiting on the government to do anything.
5. We don't see Hollywood organizing benefits to raise money for
people to rebuild.
6. We don't see people blaming President Obama. (Except for Don Marchant, post #30)
7. We don't see people ignoring evacuation orders.
8. We don't see people blaming a government conspiracy to blow up
the levees as the reason some have not held.
9. We don't see the US Senators or the Governor of North Dakota crying on TV.
10. We don't see the Mayors of any of these cities complaining about
the lack of state or federal response.
11. We don't see or hear reports of the police going around
confiscating personal firearms so only the criminal will be armed.
12. We don't see gangs of people going around and randomly shooting
at the rescue workers.
13. You don't see some leaders in this country blaming the bad
behavior of the North Dakota flood victims on "society" (of course there is
no wide spread reports of lawlessness to require excuses).

Potty Training

This is how potty training goes for us.  Anyone have any 

suggestions on how to make potty training easier?

Drummer

Here is our little drummer.

Cameron's bed

Cameron decided to take his pj's off and put 

them back on by himself.  He had a little bit

of trouble getting them back on the correct

 way.  He wasn't very happy that we weren't 

helping fast enough and he got even more 

upset when I got my camera out.

This is a picture of Cameron helping

us clean up his mess.

It took Cameron about 5 min. to make

this mess. 

Bryce's Guitar

This is Bryce after his first guitar lesson.

Hair Cut

Here are a few pictures of Cameron getting his

hair cut.  He isn't always very cooperative. 

 Especially when he puts the cape on his head.

Shaving

Braden is practicing his shaving skills.

Christmas Vacation

Cameron loved getting piggy back rides from his cousins.

There was something about that pink hat that Cameron loved.

Don't you love winter?

Christmas in MT.

Cameron adding snow to a flower pot.  Cameron seemed

to enjoy the snow more this year.  He spent several hours outsideplaying in it.

The kids spent several days building at fort in Stevensville

The Christmas Tree

We have such great helpers.

We are at the Christmas tree lot picking out

our Christmas tree.

Kisses

I couldn't resist.  Look at those little lips.
