Toxic Chemicals and the Rise of Childhood Cancer: What is the Relationship?

Check this article out! I like to read other people's blogs and I always thought it was weird how there was so many cases of childhood cancer. I never knew until a year and a half ago why there was such an outbreak. I also found out recently that cancer in kids has gone up 420% in the past 20 years. Yes, I said 420%. I never knew that was a statistic but scary enough, it is :o( I'm so glad I am doing what I can to change our lifestyle to be healthier and safer for my family!!

Toxic Chemicals and the Rise of Childhood Cancer: What is the Relationship?

Snow

Well, it's been 3 years in a row that we have gotten snow! In Texas, we usually just don't get much snow. Maybe a dusting here and there and some ice but a couple inches of snow??? Anyway, seeing all this snow really got me itching to go skiing again!! Grrrrrr We were at Scott's grandfather's house for his birthday so all the family was there. All the kids got out there and had a huge snowball fight. (Including Kylan) Thankfully his snow jacket still fit and his gloves, but the boots, not so much. His mud boots had to do!! ;o) Let's get on to the pics :o)

This is how it started:

and then a couple hours later, it was this:

After we got done dropping off my car and getting out "The Beast", Taylor got HAMMERED when she got out of the truck!! LOL Everyone was waiting on her ;o)

Trying to do a snow angel. Couldn't really tell what it was when he was done ;o)

Get em' Kylan!!!

Scott Won!! LOL

I saw this last week after it started to melt in the grass but the snowmen were still standing! It cracked me up!

Anyway, off to bed!

Until next time :o)

"2011" It's Always A Good Time To Change!

I wanted to share this. My friend Erika shared it with me and I LOVE it :o)

The first step toward getting somewhere is to decide that you're not going to stay where you are.

You're a product of your environment. So choose an environment that will best develop you toward your goals.

Analyze your life in terms of your environment. Are the things around you helping you toward your success or are they holding you back?

Your world today is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind. It's something that you can change at any time.

You don't have to remain a captive of your environment. Don't say "If I could change, I would change,"

Say "I can change, and I will change."

We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.

Have a great Monday!
