Law & Order Rant & Rave
I have never watched Law & Order but last night I couldn't resist. It was about a polygamist girl who escaped her husband who was the prophet and a "lost Boy" who was killed. Well that doesn't bother me because we all know it doesn't matter what religion, race or sex you are spousal abuse exists. What bothered me was the person who died was a "Lost Boy" and when the examined him he had on what looked like garments that had hand drawn markings on them. The cops on the show then got on the Internet to determine what the markings were. I had the most yuck feeling when watching this but for some reason could not turn it off. I thought I am going to finish watching it because I want to be able to explain to those who do watch it on the other side of my family what was fabricated and what was truth. So I guess that's my rant, I'm sure they put stuff on TV like this all the time but for some reason when it involves the sacredness of the church I go crazy. I mean really do you see us taken sacred things from other religions and making a mockery of it! Oh well I guess I will just boycott the show and spread the truth to those who may not understand the real meaning of the garments!

New Harmony, Utah- Our Favorite Vacation Spot
So it's been a whle since I have actually blogged our life! Well, here it goes a month worth of activities summed up.
For my brother Kenny's BIG 40 birthday our whole family went to there house in New Harmony to "visit". It happened to be New Harmony's Apple Festival that weekend! It was so adorable they had face painting, games and jump houses and slides. My most favorite part was the apple pie eating contest. Madison with all her cousins decided to do it. Our very own little Hailey bug won . . . can you believe it! She beat out Micha and Ian for the VICTORY! I can't tell you how proud us girls were of her. Madison said after she finied her big slice of pie that she was so sick she couldn't eat another bite. That didn't stop her though from the cotton candy the Young Women were selling. They divided the groups of pie eaters and it was the big boys turn. Poor things it was snowing so hard when they were eating I'm retty sure you can se in the pictures below. Well, none of our boys won but they were amazing anyways. It snowed so hard that day, but it was beautiful. When we have the opportunity to visit our family and enjoy the beautiful views of our Heavenly Fathers creations it makes me appreciate this world he has given us. So, I have decided to do my part in trying to "SAVE THE WORLD" one step at a time (don't ask I am not giving up the Tahoe though). Enjoy the slideshow off our weekend (Oct. 10-12).
