School Pictures!

We just had school pictures taken. I just love this time of year! Yea Right! I hate school pictures. I'm not there, so I can't make sure that the girls hair is in place, or even center them in the photo, or whether or not the pose looks OK, or even the color of the back ground that you choose is even being used. I never order very many because I am never happy. And then you pay a ton of money for just a few. Oh well, my gripping and complaining over here are their school pictures, and everything aside, I think they turned out OK!

Today Jodi was awarded "Student of the Month" for the month of October. This is what her teacher had to say about her:

"This young lady is an enthusiastic learner. She comes to school with a smile and ready to learn. Her positive attitude shows in her concern for her fellow students and their well being. She is always friendly, cooperative, and fair and is a pleasure to have in class."

Way to go Jodi we are so proud of you!! Love ya lots! Mom and Dad

If you live in AZ you know that we have Proposition 102 on the ballot coming in November. I am very worried for our children. I am voting YES on Prop. 102. I do not want this to happen to my children. I'm sure most of you have heard of this, but I thought that I would share this video anyways. Jared and I are seriously thinking about Home Schooling our children if they do not pass this. We know that things like this will come up in our lives, but our children do not need to be taught this in school.



Ironic thing about this video, is that I know Rob Wirthlin. Way back when in my single days, back in Colorado Springs, I was attending the singles ward there, and he was attending the Air Force Academy there, and of course the singles ward. Yes, his Grandfather was Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin. All of us singles would love it when his Grandpa would come to visit. We had a General Authority attend our singles ward often, and what a wonderful spirit he would bring.

I just wanted to share this wonderful video on family.



P.S. If you want to watch the video you can pause my music (at bottom of page) by pressing the pause button on the play list.
