Fame

Isaac: "Hey mom we're going to be famous!"

That was Isaac's reaction after our encounter with Fox News this morning. It just so happened that this morning I took the kids on a walk across the "Big Dam Bridge". It's close to our house and a fun place to walk. The kids loved walking across the river and being able to see look down on it. They also saw the cool "lock system they used to use with Steamboats a long time ago. So we walked across and walked back...I think it's a good 2 miles round trip...or it seemed like that walking at a 3 -year -olds pace. On our way back I could see tons of people and News Vans. Come to find out the Surgeon General was in town from Washington D.C. to promote exercise for children and talk about the child obesity problem. So we happened to be in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing. And it just so happens that Aaron and I made the decision just a few days ago that we would unplug the TV...mostly due to kids fighting and not obeying, but whatever works. So we were interviewed and video taped and made our Debut on the Fox 5:00 news. Here's the link for the written article. You can click on the video in the right hand corner with the picture of Caite's pink shoes and listen to the interview.

Where was the plug for the church? Just kidding you guys looked so cute! I've been put on the spot before by a news crew at the airport in Las Vegas, it was very uncomfortable, but you did great! I'll have to mention it to Caite in class!

Wow, Amy you really are famous. You were so articulate in speaking in front of the cameras. I think that you sent a great message to all families. You have 4 children, and you make it important to get out and do things as a family. Sounds like a great place to live. Love reading your blog!

What a woman. Even the surgeon general thinks you are a fabulous Mom. Tell Hayden that he looked great on TV!

I thoroughly enjoyed watching that tv clip! That was adorable. Me and my girls are famous, too! Remember when we were on tv- Bill Spencer from Action News stopped us in the mall and interviewed me and the girls about having good grades at school? Yep, I'll have my people call your people. :)
