Isabella Ann opening her '

Kailtyn took this photo.. sure she meant to only get her brother, Dylan... but...

Beautiful Ms. Kailtyn show up with her pretty hair and bow...

Our day started with Isbella Ann opening a gift from Phillip, Tammy and Austyn Moffat...

IF you don't know Isabella, her Mother has long beautiful hair, so Isabella Ann, wanting to be like mom, might wear a towel, or a piece of clothing on her head, playing like it is her hair... Well, Tammy decided to fix that and found this wig for her to wear. At first she did not know what to do with it, or put it on, but shortly, she tried it and loved it!!

Had an awesome family Christmas 2010 with all family present and accounted for, wow...

Created for our family dinner by Tammy Moffat, 2010 Teacher of the Year, Highland Park Elementary School, Stillwater, OK.

From Missy Reese...... Interesting!

When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure. 

Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more. 

When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where. 

Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered. 

Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drunk all the cider and hidden the liquor.. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom. 

Just then the doorbell rang, and an irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. 

The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?' 

And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree. 

Not a lot of people know this.

how cool is this! Finally a judge who understands the law of the land!

Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Call Our Troops Homophobes by Ann Coulter (more by this author) Posted 12/08/2010 ET Updated 12/08/2010 ET The Pentagon's poll on "don't ask, don't tell" is beyond idiotic. Instead of asking whether the troops support repeal of DADT, the Pentagon asked only if they can learn to play nice with the gays. Even more absurdly, the Pentagon polled all military "personnel" -- and their spouses! Only a small portion of what is known as "the military" actually does the fighting. The rest is a vast bureaucracy along the lines of the DMV. Today's military features "victim advocates" and sensitivity training facilitators, the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services personnel and a million other goo-goo positions. How did we ever take the shores of Normandy without a phalanx of "sensitivity training" counselors? No one has any need to be reassured that the military's "social action" staff will enjoy working with gays. Whatever a career in "social action" entails, it better be gay-friendly. Frankly, it's appalling the Pentagon's poll of all military personnel and their families didn't produce better numbers for the gays. We're interested in what the men who fight think. As the Pentagon study itself reports: "A higher percentage of service members in war-fighting units predicted negative effects." So gays openly serving in the military will harm the "war-fighting" part of the military, but the "social action" part will thrive! Naturally, Marines are the most resistant to overturning "don't ask, don't tell," with 58 percent of those in combat opposed. Who cares if the Pentagon's sexual harassment task force supports gays in the military? The combat units don't, and they're the ones who do the job. The rest of us shouldn't get to vote on gays in the military any more than we get to vote on the choreography of "Chicago." Military combat is a very specialized field comparable to nothing in civilian life. There has to be a special bond among warriors -- and only one kind of bond. The soldierly bond gets confused if some guys think their comrades are hot or if they suspect their superior is having a relationship with a fellow soldier. It's the same confusion that results from putting girls in the military. When an officer makes a decision, nothing should enter into it except his views on the best military strategy. The military part of the military has valid reasons for wanting to separate the idea of martial ardor and sexual attraction. Combat units can't have anything that interferes with unit cohesion, such as, for example, platoon members who are dating one another. Racial prejudice is not the same thing as sexual attraction, so please stop telling us this is just like integrating blacks in the military. A Military Times survey in 2005 found that nearly half of all women in the military claim to have been the victim of sexual harassment -- ludicrously more than women in civilian life. By contrast, two-thirds of minorities said they were treated better in the military than in society at large. The Pentagon's report found that service members "repeatedly" said that allowing gays to serve openly would "lead to widespread and overt displays of effeminacy," as well as "harassment" and unwelcome advances. (To which I would add, "and the occasional leak of massive amounts of classified documents.") Gays in the military understand this better than heterosexuals in civilian life. According to the Pentagon's survey, only 15 percent of gays currently serving said they would want their units to know they're gay. (Also, 2 percent of gays currently serving giggled when asked about their "unit," which is down from 5 percent from last year.) There are far more discharges for pregnancy and "parenthood" than for homosexuality. In the past five years, less than 1 percent of all unplanned military discharges (i.e. not due to retirement or completion of service) were for homosexuality. Here's a record of the discharges for 2008, according to the Defense Department: -- Drugs: 5,627 -- Serious offenses: 3,817 -- Weight standards: 4,555 -- Pregnancy: 2,353 -- Parenthood: 2,574 -- Homosexuality: 634 The main lesson from these figures isn't that we should have gays openly serving in the military, but that we need to get girls out of the military, inasmuch as they are constantly being discharged for pregnancy, parenthood and weight issues. According to a 1998 Department of Defense report, most discharges based on homosexuality involved "junior personnel with very little time in the military" and "the great majority of discharges for homosexual conduct are uncontested and processed administratively." More than 98 percent of discharges for homosexuality were honorable. So gays and girls can join the military, get taxpayers to foot the bill for their education and then, when it comes time to serve, announce that they're gay or pregnant and receive an honorable discharge. Indeed, there's no proof that all the discharges for homosexuality involve actual homosexuals. Why can't the Army and Marines have their own rules? Why does everything have to be the same? Whatever happened to "diversity"? Maybe we could have an all-gay service! They'd be allowed to wear camouflage neckerchiefs (a la Paul Lynde) and camo capri pants. To avoid any sexual harassment claims, they'd have to have their own barrack, which we could outfit with a dance club, a cosmo bar and a counseling center called "The Awkward Place." Their band would mostly play show tunes, and soldiers captured by the enemy would be taught to reveal only their name, rank and seasonal color analysis ("I am Private First Class Jeffrey Smith and I'm a 'winter.'") They wouldn't be allowed in combat, however, for the same reason women aren't –- it takes them too long to get ready. Most people have no clue what military life is like, least of all the opinion makers in New York, Los Angeles and the nation's capital. The military is not representative of the country at large. It is disproportionately rural, small-town, Southern and Hispanic. We ask our troops to do a lot for very little money. Sometimes they die for us. The least Democrats could do is not pass grandstanding bills while self-righteously denouncing our servicemen as homophobes.

Something to think about!

Something has to change!

Lest we forget about tomorrow....

Tomorrow, December 7,  is the 69th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Hawaii, with Pearl Harbor Day being designated as a national holiday today.

At 6 a.m. Dec. 7, 1941, from 230 miles north of Oahu, the first wave of a two-wave attack mostly from aircraft carriers was launched by the Japanese consisting of 40 Kate torpedo bombers, 51 Val dive bombers, 50 high-altitude bombers and 43 Zero fighters. They struck the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor and the airfields at Hickam, Kaneohe and Ewa, among many other targets.

At 7:15 a.m., the second wave of 167 aircraft continued the attack on the same targets. When it was over, the United States suffered total loss of the Arizona and Oklahoma battleships. The battleship California was sunk at her berth and later raised and repaired, as was the West Virginia. The Nevada was beached to prevent sinking and was later repaired. The Tennessee had light damage. The Utah was so badly damaged, no repairs were done and it was later used as target practice and sunk. Six battleships in total were struck.

Six cruisers, including the Helena, had light damage. Four destroyers were damaged, one mine layer sunk, one sea plane tender severely damaged. One repair ship was severely damaged and one harbor tug sunk. In addition, 92 U.S. Navy aircraft and 93 Army aircraft were destroyed on airfields. No aircraft carriers were in the vicinity to protect Hawaii, so none were damaged. In addition, much petroleum, ammunition and supplies were destroyed.

There were 2,402 Americans who died, including 1,177 on the Arizona, 105 on the California, 429 on the Oklahoma, 58 on the Utah and 106 on the West Virginia battleships.

Your sacrifice will not be forgotten, and you are... our heros!

for one second, please stop and think about this. wow!
