Space Shuttle

The pictures are of the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station flying over our house!!



Last night at about 7:41, we were folding laundry when Braden reminded us that it should be flying over, so we all ran outside and we spotted it.



It was really neat, even though you could only see what looked like a shooting star!



1. sunshine
2. fun things to share with my kids
3. warm weather

Can You Guess??

What these pictures are of??

I Could Take It No LONGER!!!!

I had to get the BBQ grill out today!!

The weather has been teasing me, and it was time to grill!

Made teriyaki chicken, sticky rice and broccoli(I didn't eat the broccoli, never fear!)

My kids were playing at the bottom of the circle while it was grilling and they kept coming in saying they could smell it down there and they were wondering how much longer!

Now if only the weather will stay nice so I can keep the grill out!!!

1. nice weather

2. BBQ grill

3. smells of the grill

BTW, Happy St. Patricks Day! Everywhere I went today, people were wishing me a Happy St. Pattys Day and asking if I was having Corned Beef and Cabbage for dinner. Of course not, I wouldn't eat that. I had several people ask me why not??, because I am Irish!! Am I??

Don't know

Backgrounds

I changed the background and we are back in business. Guess I will stick with the original background!

My Blog

Something has happened to my blog. I can no longer see any words. If you can see words, other than these, please leave a comment to let me know what you can or cannot see!

Absolute Craziness

It seems lately that most things on TV go too far.

Last night my cousin sent me an email from her Bishop about the HBO series 'Big Love'.

I guess it is a show about polygamists. I have never seen it, I don't have HBO and I wouldn't watch it anyway.

Well, according to the email, Big Love is now showing the Mormon temple ceremony and clothing as part of their show this week. Don't believe me?? Check out these links.

I almost couldn't believe it myself.

My cousin's Bishop is asking everyone to contact HBO with our feelings. Here is some of what he said and the info to contact HBO.

Consider writing to HBO, Time Warner, and the FCC. Let them know your thoughts. I just did. This is beyond appalling. Please act now and spread the word. On Sunday March 15th, the HBO show Big Love is showing an episode containing an excommunication as well as temple ceremonies. They hired an ex-member to help re-create the ceremony, rooms, and clothing. HBO is owned by Time Warner. Send your emails, snail mails, phone calls, to both companies to show HBO that we won't stand for the use of things we consider sacred on their show Big Love, which is using a replica of an endowment room and celestial room to show what happens in the ceremonies there! Just keep it within Church standards please! HBO is owned by Time Warner: Time Warner Inc. One Time Warner Center New York, NY10019-8016

Absolutely crazy and appalling in my opinion.

1. temples

2. sacred ordinances

3. being able to give my opinion

Can't Blog Without You

I think I have figured out one of my blogging problems.

My favorite blog to read is no longer happening. My friend is taking a break and it is breaking me. I looked forward to reading this blog everyday and it made me smile on a daily basis. Now I can't have a blogging smile without it.

Maybe this weekend will bring me out of my blogging funk(even without my friend) since the weather is supposed to be nice. I am hoping my friend will change her mind and decide to do her blog again, because that would probably help with my funk too!

Until then, I will try to smile without it!

I've Lost That Blogging Feeling

Updating this blog has been weighing on me lately. It is kind of like Visiting Teaching when I know it is the end of the month. I am not good at either. At this point, there is a ton to write about, and it is overwhelming. I really want to be a good blogger, since I am a horrible journal writer and my children have absolutely nothing to remember me by should something happen to me!

Hopefully I will get the blogging feeling back(because I love reading the blogs and get a bit bugged when people don't update very often). And maybe a bit of time!
