My soapbox

Last week I was up at 3am feeding my baby, so what better time to check facebook. I came across a post from a guy that I don't know, I think we are relatives somehow. Anyway this is what he posted: "Why is it that women think it is okay to breastfeed in public? Especially in a restaurant!!!!!!! Either go in the bathroom or go out to your freaking car!!!"
I wanted so badly to comment on his post. Since we don't know each other I thought that would be a little strange. I am not one who likes to breastfeed in public, but I don't believe in anyway is it wrong, discusting or taboo. If I had to though, I totally would, with no second thoughts. Nursing is the most natural thing in the world, it is what our BREASTS were intended for. Anyway I don't know a man alive who would turn their head if they happened to see a boob.
Some of the comments that he got really ripped into him, and some agreed. Mostly the people who were for it were women, which makes sense, but there were some men. This guy doesn't have any children, so it would be interesting to see what happens when they are out to eat and they have their first child with them and his wife says the baby is hungry. Is he going to make her go out into the car for a half hour, or into the bathroom while he gets to finish his meal. I don't think so. Why do people feel that going into the bathroom to eat is a good idea. Would you want to do that. I don't think it is a good idea for my baby to do that. Anyway this topic really got to me, and I just needed to get on my soapbox for a little bit. I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.

Christmas 2010

We started our Christmas parties off with Brandon's family. His Mom does a party at her house everyear on a day other than Christmas or Christmas Eve so that everyone can attend. I think this is very smart, that way we are not running around on Christmas Day when we would rather be relaxing.


All of the grandkids got cute little robes which they wore the entire night.


Yeah this is the best we could do. Brandon just barely poking through. I am blaming this pic of me on being prego. It does weird things to you.

Christmas morning.

Yep I got a new vaccum. Its no Kerby, but it works so I am happy.

I love how they always get so excited for the cheapest toy you buy. Kylee's this year was a barbie mermaid that changes color in the water.

The big unvailing....... Buzz Lightyear. Does it get any better than that when you are Austin? I think not.

Kylee is always wanting to help me cook, so we got her an easy bake oven so she can do her own cooking. She never wants to eat her own creations. Hmmm.......

The girls. Mom somehow skipped out on all the pics.

The boys, looking at different cameras.
