Shay's Sweet Family

What A Super fun Family this was! Shay came from SLC to have photos taken....(wow, I am totally flattered) We had a blast on the Red Rocks, by Town Square, and at Dixie State's Football Arena. These boys are super athletic, we got some great action shots!

I am seriously SO excited for this movie! 

I read the series. The first one i wasn't too impressed with. I kept getting hung up on the fact the Edward is technically like 100 years old. And for him to want to have a relationship with a minor was tipping the Pedophile meter for me. And THEN for her to have such a mature "love" relationship at the age of 17 and only being a Junior in high school, it was a bit sickening. The Lovey Dovey the whole bit, it was a almost nauseating. Not that i don't love a good Love Story. I just must have been stuck on the Pedophile thing.  

But after much deliberation, plus the fact that I couldn't just NOT read the others when I knew they were there, I finished the series and have truly become a 

TWILIGHT fan. 

I've been so Excited i've already bought my movie tickets. The theaters were sold out for the Midnight showing on the 20th, and opening day was already sold out too! So I've purchased my ticket 2 weeks in advance, for  8:45pm on Saturday the 22 at the Pine View Stadium 10. My mom, sister, Good Friend Wendy and I are all going. If anyone wants to join in the fun you are more then welcome.

Also just released Today, about 12 hours ago, they are going to also do movies on the second the third books. New Moon and Eclipse. 

I seriously can't wait....I need to get a life.

i'M aN eSmE!

Prop Me Up...

There once was an old fellow who always prayed, "Lord, prop us up on our leanin' side." After hearing him pray that prayer many times, someone asked him why he prayed for that so fervently.

He answered. "You see, I have an old barn out back. It's been there a long time; it's withstood a lot of weather, it's gone through a lot of storms, and it's stood for many years."

"It's still standing, but one day I noticed it was leaning to one side a bit. So I went and got some pine poles and propped it up on it's leaning side so it wouldn't fall."

"I got to thinking about that and how much I am like that old barn. I've been around a long time, I've withstood a lot of life's storms, I've withstood a lot of bad weather in life, and I've withstood a lot of hard times...and I'm still standing. I, too, find myself leaning to one side from time to time, so I ask the Lord to prop me up on my leaning side, because just about everyone gets to leaning at times"

Sometimes we get leaning toward anger,  leaning toward bitterness, leaning toward hatred, leaning toward cussing, leaning toward a lot of things that we shouldn't. So we need to pray,  and ask our Heavenly Father to help prop us up on our leaning side, so we can stand straight and tall again.

Take one more look at the photo if you didn't catch it the first time....

HaLlOwEeN.....and ThE BiG hUgE rObOt!

Halloween was SO incredibly fun this year! It was the first year Jackson REALLY knew what was going on, as far as trick or treating. We ran from house to house in Grandma Cram's Neighborhood but by the end of the second street his bag was so heavy and full of Candy Jackson couldn't carry it but to the door. At one house, the nice old people were waiting outside for us with a BIG bowl full of candies, little toys, apples and pencils. Of ALL the things Jacskson could have chosen he chose the APPLE! (I was so proud!) Then immediately afterwards I thought..."what if they had poisoned it or something?" and later, when I was telling my mom about it, and what I had thought, she fueled the fire further and said "they could have injected it through the stem!" (Thanks Mom) So I threw the apple away when we go home. It's sad when MY paranoia really isn't to far off sometimes. 

Anyway.....enough of my ramblings. Enjoy the pics.

Jackson wanted to be A BIG HUGE ROBOT (Transformer) So he is wearing a Power Ranger costume with the Transformer mask. Silly Kid. 

Whatever makes him happy.

Is this NOT Hillarious! Thanks Uncle Jeremy!

Leviticus 18:22

"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind:it is abomination."

Prop 8 shared a ballot with many other proposals and elections, including the 2008 Presidential election in California. IF voters had rejected Prop 8 it would maintain the legal status quo, whereby the State of California would have continued to recognize marriages regardless of sex.

Luckily, it was passed. 52.2%  in favor of Proposition 8 and 47.8% against (as of the day after election with 99.5% of precincts reporting) 9,152,988 votes

So how do I feel? Relieved?  Disgusted? 

Relieved that there are more people who live in California that BELIEVE the same as I do. That marriage should only be recognized when it is between a man and a woman. (4,736,246 votes)

OR

Disgusted that there is only a 5% difference? That there are 4,416,742 people, JUST in California, that think it is OK not only to have a same sex relationship, but that they are also entitled to the same benefits as my Husband and Me.  

ONLY a very small difference of 319,504.

How does everyone else feel? Leave a comment if you would like, call or email me....I'm interested.
