my latest outrage

Jason and I were at Costco a couple of weeks ago looking for Christmas presents for his parents and I stumbled upon a book that disgusted me. The title is Love Letters of Joseph and Emma illustrated by Liz Lemon Swindle and Angela Eschler.I think that is such a gross invasion of privacy. These are two people that gave up everything for what they believed in. They gave up so many material things and gave up so many of their family. So many of their babies were buried in the ground and left behind. The hardest thing any parents would have to do. Joseph gave his life and in the end Emma was alone. Their love for each other was something so precious and something so personal. It is between any husband and wife and here are some people parading it around for everyone to see all so they can make a few dollars out of it. In the end Emma did not have the heart to go to Utah. I highly doubt that she would be all to appreciative about some one trying to make money off of her personal love correspondence to Joseph. Shame on them for putting money above respect of the prophet who restored the true church and for his wife who sacrificed so much.

My sister

Following the request of my sister even if it was a long time ago. I finally figure out how to take off the word verification things on the comments page. Hooray me. There you go big sis

Bratz are dead

It is a great day cause barbie won. If you don't know what I am talking about it would be the court ruling of barbie vs. Bratz. The case was that the design for Bratz was created by a person that still worked for Mattel. They then took the design to the competing company while still under Mattel employment. Now Bratz must stop making the doll and turn over any existing inventory over to Mattel. There is the possibility the Mattel will continue make and distribute the dolls. I'm hoping they burn them. I'm hoping that Mattel realizes how hated they are among parents and will not continue to sell them. Even if they do I will never buy one or let one in my house. It is a horrible toy that teaches young girls that they need to be sexy and waer really bad make-up. They even have matching bras and underwear for seven year olds. If any one is saying it a training bra give me a break.I personally with help my daughter vaule herself for thing that are important like her personality and her grades. Not how 'hot ' she is and what clothes she is in. that is a well paved road to a lot of problems depression, anxiety,and low self esteem. My favorite quote from the the article "Fast Times" by Deborah Swaney she is talking about how instead of buying a bra foe her seven year old she signed her up for soccer and was out cheering for her when she made her first goal"that , not a bra, is the kind of support young girls really need". i love it

biggest daddys girl

Kyla is such a daddy's girl. It is now routine for me to tell Kyla that daddy is home when I see Jason pull up to our house. She will run to the window and look out and when she sees him get out of the car she will start yelling daddly( not a typo she says daddly).Then, when he gets close enought she will run to the door and give him huggs and kisses .The first time I did this it was so funny because she didn't realize it was jason in the car. She never rides in the Accent so she doesn't recognize it as our car. When she realize it was Jason she started screaming" dada". She was so torn between looking at him through the window and running around the couch to the door that she kept just turning around in a circle. Then it turned into taking a step from the window and then running back. Finally when Jason came through the door the decision was easy to leave to window and she ran and gave him a big hug and snuggled with him.Then this past Wednesday Jason and I went out to see Madagascar 2 at the good old Spanish 8. It is cheap and close to my in-laws house. We dropped the girls off and we made small talk with my mother in law.Then we needed to leave because we were going to be late. We opened the door and Kyla comes over to see use off. I waved to her and said "bye bye". She waved back and says "bye bye bye bye" and keeps going until Jason says bye and waves. Then she realizes that he is coming with me and she starts saying "No no NO NO No no no no". She comes over to Jason and grabs his hand and tries to pull him back into the house. We finally had to just leave and she cried. Honestly though I love it when she does things like that.Not only is it something to blog about but its really cute and it makes me gratefully to know that I am so lucky to have a husband like Jason that is so adored by our babies.

million dollar baby

I was talking with my favorite cousin about being able to have a million dollars and what we would do with it or any large sum of money that happened to find its way into our bank accounts. She would put put her hubby through school pay bills and things of that sort. Jason and I would pay off our mortgage. If it was really big like millions the we would put in some kind of savings account and use the extra money from the interest to pay extra towards our house. Then we would but my parents a house up here and pay off jasons parents mortgage(which i think they own their house already though) Jason and I were then talking about it and how cool it would be to own our home and everything but in reality if you were suddenly to come into a lot of money how stressfull it would be. Suddenly you would have people calling you up to say congradulations and they would just happen to mention all of there financal woes. Then if you gave them money more people would call to get what they could get from you.All of the sudden you would have family and friends that you haven't talked to in forever calling just to say hiand maybe ask for a loan that they promise they will pay back. Just as soon as they get the money. You would want to help thoes that really deserved it.There would no doubtly be thoes that dug there own wholeand as soon as you filled it up they would get digging again. Money worries would go way down but then you waould have a new set of people problems. Also the fact that when you die would your family start their own WW3 over it. So many things. I say if you every come into money keep it a secret from every one.
