Yes on 8!

So I had to post these, because I am so proud of my kids, and their long suffering

hours at the few prop 8 sign waving days we went to. After the first time, they really did well, and had a lot of fun! These pics include Jakes friend JP Boyd, and one includes part of JP's mom and sister! Sorry, Becky! I didnt take these pics! Anyways, yeah for Prop 8! The unimaginable was accomplished and the long suffering was rewarded, even through the different trials we all suffered we all stood strong and beat the opposition back, so to speak. Anyways, it is really sad to see the issues that are continuing, especially the no on 8 people gathering at the LA temple! You know what really bothers me most though? All I hear is how sad, you people have broken hearts today and with prop 8, well you know what if it had gone the other way there would have been a lot more broken hearts out there! and would they have cared at all? NO! Would we have marched on their sacred places of worship or their homes? NO! I really am fired up about this. Why is it all about their rights? What about ours? We are just as entitled to believe what we believe and live as we would like to live as they are theirs. Sorry everyone, I just had to rant a little.

Jakes first field trip!

Here are pics of Jakeys first field trip ever! The kindergarten went to the Live Oak Canyon Pumpkin patch. They got a Tractor ride, a visit to the petting zoo, and a chance to pick out their own pumpkin! They all had a lot of fun, I went along, and was assigned my Jake, and another little boy named Gavin. The kids were exhausted once they got back on the bus, oh yeah that was another thing, this was Jakes first time ever riding on the school bus! He had a ton of fun, in fact I asked him if he just wanted to drive back with us (I carpooled with some friends in the ward) and he said no, I really want to ride the bus. Just wait, soon he will be begging me to drive him, I used to HATE the bus!!

By the way, this petting zoo was crazy! The goats were jumping all over me! I could not wait to get out of there! But the kids loved it, go figure right?


The whole class! cute, huh?

Another baby gets older!

So, my Lily is turning 3 this weekend! I am a little bit in shock. I dont know why, I know it is bound to happen and I expect and anticipate each birthday, but for some reason, when the day is here, it is mind blowing, that my children are older! So we had a little tea party with some of her friends this morning to celebrate her bday, and it was so much fun, but imagine 7 little girls pouring water for themselves, and passing cake and cookies around! The floor was not a very pretty sight, but Lily had a blast! This weeks cake happened to be the very first fondant cake I have ever done (that turned out beautiful), so I was excited to use it for this party. Anyways, Happy Birthday ma Belle!
