Cousins Elle, Maddie, and Kaylee. So darling!
Emily and Paige after a yummy dinner at the rental.
Joe being strangled by Ian after Allie read the gang of kids a story.
Little Cottonwood Canyon. I couldn't get enough! Wish I could have spent hours up in the canyon walking around. Fall colors were breath-taking.
The look on Jim's face when he realized what the whole fun time had cost him. Thanks, Dear!!

PS. Sorry, Scott, Kyle and others for not including your pictures. : ( You were blurry because I didn't have my dumb flash on. My bad. Guess we'll just have to repeat the whole thing!!!

Steven Jobs-Almost aborted?

This is an except from some article somewhere. Wish I could say where I got it but it's an amazing story.

"Her name is Joanne Schiebel. In 1954, she was a young unmarried college student who discovered that she was pregnant. In the 1950s, her options were limited. She could have had an abortion – but the procedure was both dangerous and illegal. She could have gotten married, but she wasn’t ready and didn’t want to interrupt her education. Joanne opted, instead, to give birth to the baby and put it up for adoption.

And so it was that in 1955, a California couple named Paul and Clara Jobs adopted a baby boy, born out of wedlock, that they named Steven.

We know him today…as Steve Jobs.

It would not be overstating things to say that Steve Jobs is my generation’s Thomas Edison. As one observer put it, he knew what the world wanted before the world knew that it wanted it.

If you have an iPhone or an iPad or an iPod, or anything remotely resembling them, you can thank Steve Jobs.

If your world has been transformed by the ability to hear a symphony, send a letter, pay a bill, deposit a check, read a book and then buy theater tickets on something roughly the size of a credit card…you can thank Steve Jobs.

And: you can thank Joanne Schiebel.

If you want to know how much one life can matter, there is just one example.

But: imagine if that life had never happened.

Imagine if an unmarried pregnant college student 56 years ago had made a different choice.

Now, imagine all the unmarried pregnant college students who make that different choice today."

Accurate, regarding Obama voters??

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting an inexperienced man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama Presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their President. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their President."

This is being credited with coming from the Czech Republic Observer.

This is Socialism-and it's coming to America

Rioting Greece is SOCIALISM
Burning London is SOCIALISM
Debt, Big Government, and over-spending is SOCIALISM
Feral human slaves to government handouts is SOCIALISM
Blaming the rich, the "millionaires and billionaires" for everything is SOCIALISM
Class hatred is SOCIALISM
Obama's policies are SOCIALISM

Sonic dog

I don't know what Sonic got into but I think he was trying to extend his smile.

Sonic and Penny wishing you a Happy 4th of July!!

Right as we took the picture we noticed that Penny had lost her patriotic bandanna somewhere. Found it later but she was so cute wearing it. Hope you all rejoiced in our freedoms today.

Here's a quote from Ezra Taft Benson:

"I reverence the Constitution of the United States as a sacred document. To me its words are akin to the revelations of God, for God has placed His stamp of approval on the Constitution of this land. I testify that the God of heaven sent some of His choicest spirits to lay the foundation of this government.

Elle and Maddie way back at Easter

These are so cute of Maddie and Elle.

Stones River National Battlefield and Cemetery

Here, near Murfreesboro, TN, a 3 day battle around New Years Day,1862-3, (think cold) the North barely beat the South. 25,000 casualties.

These plaques say it all.

It is the Soldier

It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.

It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.

It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

Obama has betrayed Israel and the United States

If the Jews put down their weapons of defense the state of Israel would be destroyed the next day. If instead the Arab states put down their weapons there would be peace the next day. Simply put: Muslims won't stop until the Jews are all dead. Israel just wants to be left in peace. There has never been an autonomous Arab state in the land of Palestine yet this is the 3rd time at least that the Jews have so they more right to the land there than Arabs.

Below is a 5 minute video that explains it perfectly:

After the Muslims Extremists destroy Israel they will not rest until our western way of life is destroyed and a caliphate is installed all over the world. This is their STATED goal. The implications of what Obama did today are catastrophic except that they might bring about the Second Coming sooner than I thought. : )

Fascinating Little Article about Religion and Faith coming instinctively to human beings

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/is-belief-in-god-ingrained-in-our-human-nature-a-new-study-says-so/

An exciting, new Oxford University study has found that faith and religion come to human beings naturally — possibly instinctively. The initiative, entitled the “Cognition, Religion and Theology Project,” took three years to complete and involved more than 40 different studies in 20 countries around the globe. According to CNN, the study has some intriguing findings:

Studies around the world came up with similar findings, including widespread belief in some kind of afterlife and an instinctive tendency to suggest that natural phenomena happen for a purpose.

While the results don’t speak to whether or not God (or gods) exists, Roger Trigg, the project’s co-director, believes that the findings are immensely important to religious freedom and human rights. When considering the idea that some governments restrict religious activities, Trigg said:

“If you’ve got something so deep-rooted in human nature, thwarting it is in some sense not enabling humans to fulfill their basic interests. There is quite a drive to think that religion is private. It isn’t just a quirky interest of a few, it’s basic human nature. This shows that it’s much more universal, prevalent, and deep-rooted. It’s got to be reckoned with. You can‘t just pretend it isn’t there.”

Hopeful thoughts from a "racist Tea Partier"

This is the most hopeful amazing interview I've heard yet that we might really be able to save our country from the damage BO has inflicted on our nation and be able to best him in 2012 with a candidate who actually likes the U.S. I LOVE this interview with the head of the Black Chamber of Commerce on the Laura Ingraham Show who said that voting for Obama is a mistake he will take to his grave. Here's why:

This is my guy for 2012 (and yes, he's a black man) :

As Martin Luther King said, we should judge people on the content of their character not the color of their skin.

It's the Liberal/Progressive/Democrats who can't leave race alone because it's their only strategy against the arguments of the Right. I'm sick to death of being called a racist because I'm a member of the Tea Party.

Obama Slaps Jews in the Face....on Passover!

From Unity Coalition for Israel Website:

"Passover recalls the bondage and suffering of Jews in Egypt and the miracle of the Exodus, but U.S. President Barack Obama says its message is reflected in Muslim uprisings.

From Obama:

" ' In his annual message, prior to his third straight participation in the Passover Seder, President Obama stated, “The story of Passover…instructs each generation to remember its past, while appreciating the beauty of freedom and the responsibility it entails. This year that ancient instruction is reflected in the daily headlines as we see modern stories of social transformation and liberation unfolding in the Middle East and North Africa.' ”

http://www.israelunitycoalition.org/news/?p=6622

This is beyond insensitive. Obama and his cronies continue to snub and fight against Israel. His buddy Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn will be heavily involved in another Gaza flotilla designed to stir up trouble in the Middle East by provoking the Israelis in the next month or 2.

Zechariah 12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day [The Last Days] , that I will seek to^adestroy all the nations that come against ^bJerusalem.

1 Nephi 22:14 And every ^anation which shall war against thee, O house of Israel, shall be turned one against another, and they shall ^bfall into the pit which they digged to ensnare the people of the Lord. And all that ^cfight against Zion shall be destroyed.

Dem fave Planned Parenthood-an abortion every 95 seconds

Planned Parenthood performed 332,278 abortions in the United States in 2009, according to a fact sheet the group published last month.

That is about as many as the 333,012 people who lived in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, in 2009, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

The 332,278 abortions Planned Parenthood performed over the 365 days of 2009 equals an average of 910 lives terminated per day–or about 38 per hour, or one every 95 seconds.

Liberal-embraced Socialists choose violence

Violence, coercion, and intimidation are of Satan. That's why I don't like bully unions, socialists, communists, etc. I don't know why the Left does. Oh, wait. I think I do know why. They are blinded by the craftiness of men in the Last Days.

It chaps my hide that Obama gives Brazil 2 billion dollars to develop their oil and permission to drill in the OUR gulf so that we can be their "best customer" but blocks access to our oil reserves here in the US. This is how he lives his dream of redistributing the wealth to other nations and sticks it to the U.S. I wish we had a president who loved America more and everyone else just a little less.

Obama has sold the U.S. down the river!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch this one minute clip of how ticked off the Saudis are at the Obama administration. They are now turning to Russia and China for stability!!!!!!!!!! This could have dire consequences for us. I'm reading a book on the Signs of the Times (by church members named Parry) and it's like having a commentary on the days' news stories. Be prepared for $20 gas if the Saudis say bye bye to us.

Obama Wins!

Yes, Obama is awarded the Transparency Award at a no-press-allowed ceremony. It wasn't even listed on the presidents schedule because they wanted to keep it a secret. So which is more insane: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize or Obama receives Transparency Award?? I'd say it's a tie.

Obama's relationship with economic terrorist, Steven Lerner

Obama = SEIU (union). Socialist, Steven Lerner = economic terrorism. Steven Lerner is an employee of SEIU. (Confirmed recently that he is still employed there.) This is a simple math equation that most of America hasn't added up yet.
