Am I Crazy???

I took Evan (9), Annalise (5), Keaton (4), Wilson (3), and Holden (2 almost) to the Hogle Zoo this morning by myself. We all had a great time. It is UEA weekend, so we got their early and left when it started to get crowded.

Holden the Skeleton

SSHHHH... let me play in peace

Keaton, Annalise, and Wilson were all playing in Wilson's bedroom. Holden quietly brought cars out in the living room, and then went back for the track. Holden just sat and quietly played with his cars while the other kids were playing in the bedroom. Holden is such a funny little content boy!

ICE!!!!

Holden loves to eat ice. Holden especially likes to eat snow. We could not keep him from shoving it in his mouth. It was ok today since it is fresh snow, but I think we will have to teach him not to eat old snow!

First Snow

Holden

Holden has a habit of taking food that I am chopping and eating them. Tonight I was chopping onions, celery, and carrots for dinner. Holden first grabbed a couple of carrots, and then he moved on to the onions. Not a good choice Holden....

Protect the Sanctity of Marriage

I will never forget when President Hinckley first read The Family:A Proclamation to the World. This proclamation was read by President Gordon B. Hinckley as part of his message at the General Relief Society Meeting held September 23, 1995, in Salt Lake City, Utah. I am sure I did not understand, at the time, the relevance of this doctrine. I would have been shocked by the way this doctrine is currently being tested and attacked. The document ends with this statement, "We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society."

I no longer live in California, but I did in 2000 when over 61% of California voters approved Proposition 22. It is important to take a stand on this issue. The entire text of Proposition 8 is as follows: "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid and recognized in California." Propostion 8 needs to be approved to again amend the California Constitution, and protect the sanctity of marriage.
