Prop 8!!

well as everyone knows..time is closing in for this Prop 8 issue. As it is getting closer it seems things are becoming a little more hostile since it's crunch time. Mom and dad had some vandilism done-someone cut up a bunch of 'yes on prop 8' signs and scattered them all over mom and dad's lawn during the night, brett's sister has had her sign stolen in brentwoord, and i've heard some other stories as well; it is a scary topic. This past weekend i was called by one of my bishopric members to volunteer four hours a week and call california voters. Of course i said yes, but i'm waiting to receive an e-mail from the stake president giving us the ok and the when and where we're going to do this. I've been hearing some rumors that they didn't want college students doing it now, but i really hope thats not the case! Anyways, these are some interesing videos Brett sent me and just though you guys would be interested, please watch them! Carrie, maybe post them on your blog! Love ya fam!

Presidential Debate

Did anyone get a chance to watch the presidential debate tonight? I missed it on TV, and have just watched tiny bits online, but I think the little bit I saw was painful for McCain. Obama is SUCH a better speaker, I think McCain doesn't look too great next to him. He comes off more just like an old man. And I'm still in Obama's camp on most things but abortion. I think he'd be a great president and it'd be great for America to have a black president named Barack Obama. But I just can't vote for him because of the abortion issue! Other things I don't agree with him on I can get over, because I don't agree with McCain on lots of things, too. But his abortion views I just can't get over, and it's much too important an issue to ignore. But oh, I think after watching a little of this debate I'm not sure he can close the lead Obama has. Obama's just dang good at this whole running for president thing!

Mother's weekend!! & fun pictures!

This is my friend Katy who works at Great Harvest

This isn't at mothers weekend, it's the thursday before mom came, katy lets me and brett play behind the counter after they're closed!!

Mom and i had a lot of fun this weekend!! We went to a planetarium light show, some seminars, and a international assesmbly which was very interesting to say the least! We had lots of fun eating at yummy places and mom LOVED great harvast and their GIANT snickerdoodle cookies! It was a fun weekend and we even got snow!!! I'm so thankful for our mom and how much fun she is!!
For those that havn't heard Andrew Blomdal was in a pretty bad accident. His truck rolled a couple times, there were four guys in the car and andrew is the worst. He's going to have to get skin grafts done on his left hand; he says he remebers after he got out of the car and he was looking at his hand and he could see all the bones and tendons!! Gross!! so he has some more scrapes and bruises and they're not quite sure where he'll be going to get surgery done, but include him in your prayers! We told him we'd take this sweet picture of him because he'd appreciate it later!!

Hey family I'm a blogging freak! I get a lot of emails from a friend in Sacramento about the Prop 8 stuff and what they're doing to try to get it passed. Not being a Californian (sniff, sniff), at first I was mostly relived that this doesn't effect us directly. Then I realized it does. So I wanted to do my part, and I've started a blog called Why Vote Yes on Prop 8. You can check it out and let me know what you think:

Brooke, maybe you could put a link on to it on the blog somewhere?

Beautiful Tahoe

We had a fun weekend in Tahoe this weekend. Meg's wedding was fun and beautiful and the food was freakin' GOOD!!! We're still thinking of the crab cakes! I was thinking for our next family Tahoe trip we should take a night to eat at the restaurant they had their reception at, the River Grill. It's right across from the Fanny Bridge and it was grubbin'!

Laura, Meg, and I

Megan's sister did the cake, desserts, and lots more. Meg made the cake topper, it was so cute! I wish I took a closer-up picture of it!

The girls were happy to have us back. Today they started out so happy to be in their own home, with their own toys....then quickly slid downhill to where it was obvious they needed to catch up on some serious sleep!

A Weekend To Remember

We had a fun weekend with Mom, Dad Trav-man and Grandma and Grandpa. Dad passed the time giving wedgies and wrestling with the kids. Priceless!!

We enjoyed the food..oh the food! Mom brought up some Scocheroos, we had a delicious steak dinner, homemade apple pie, and a yummy lunch today. It looks like from the picture Zoolander also joined us, can you spot him?

Guns, Guns, Guns!! We have a clay pigeon launcher in our yard, so Dad brought up his guns and we practiced our shots. The boys absolutely loved it...me and mom even got in on the action. Don't let Mom fool you, she's a great shot! I think she's really an undercover agent. I've suspected this for a while now.

And this is our worn out grandmas watching Audrey's Barbie movie...I guess it wasn't that exciting. The plot was a bit predictable...

We're so glad you guys came up, even though it was a quick weekend! It was nice to watch conference with you, even though those danged kids make it so difficult!

Guess what family?!...I'm engaged!!

This is my ring! off of kay.com~!

These are a couple pictures from the wedding that we went to..and this aodrable kitten was the brides! I was playing with the cat all night!
