My cards.






Here are my cards for card swap tonight. I'm usually not too proud of my cards. But I thought these turned out cute. At least they are done.

Buried photos

Sometimes I forget what photos are on my camera. Here are a few good one that I think some of you might enjoy!
This hasn't happened since she was a baby. For Halloween, a couple of "Tricksters" came and TP'd the house or as Audrey coined the phrase...
they "toilet trashed" us! Do you see the little forks in the yard?
If not here's one. To tell you the truth I thought the forks were suppose to go in the yard the other way!

Olivia and Whitney love Mr Morris's yard, he really knows how to decorate for Halloween!
Ready for the Trunk or Treat

Happy Birthday Audrey!

On November 3 Audrey turned 8 years old. This is such an important age. She will become baptized later this month. We are so proud of her! She was also lucky enough to celebrate with her friends at skate country. Here's a few highlights

What does it all mean?

Here's a recent clip from Glenn Beck. I thought that it was very interesting!

What our Country needs

. Today I had one of my greatest experiences. Someone showed me kindness. It wasn't flashy or weird, it was just nice and good. Well, I was at Sam's this morning finishing my shopping with Whitney and like we sometimes do, we ate lunch at the little cafe that is right in the front. I just ordered a hotdog, slice of pizza and a drink. So Whitney and I was having lunch and like I usually do, I didn't pick up any napkins, and like what usually happens when a two year old attempts to eat a hotdog, she got ketsup on her face and hands. My thoughts were I will just get some napkins when I get up to go we weren't doing too bad. Well, there was this man, in a suit in line. He had ordered his food after us and was waiting. He must have noticed that we were in need of napkins. So I didn't see him do this, but he went over and got some napkins and layed them on our table. My back was turned to him and I had been helping Whitney take her bites. So when I turned around to look in front of me on the table was, Napkins! And I looked up to see him sit down and just smile. It wasn't weird and I didn't feel like I was being hit on-it was just nice. I kind'a felt like I was on that commercial you see where all these people are doing nice things for everyone and it kind goes around in a circle. Then the pay-it-forward movie came to mind and then President Hinckley's words came to mind where he admonished all of us to be a little better-be a little more kinder.
And that is where I want to go with this post. I'm well aware of this election tomorrow-it's not a pretty election. I'm not really satisfied with either canidate, and I very scared for our future as a great country. I'm worried about Prop. 8 in California, I'm worried that whoever gets elected President won't value it. America is a great place-we have so many freedoms that other places just don't. I'm am frustrated though with some things here in America. Like our schools. But I don't want to really go down that list. But what I've come to realize is that government is not really our solution to fixing anything. There are a lot of politicans out there with good ideas, and some that don't have good ideas. But ultimately the only thing that is going to save our families and everyone is following the Savior and his example. So by saying that, I only hope that I can see a need of someone, just like the man in Sam's today and strive to be little more kinder.
