Another weekend this summer is flying by already so much going on, Helaman's Encampment over and so many other things going on its crazy! But fun I think the kids are loving the freedom and space to run all day long. D got home saturday afternoon from camp then we ran over to a reception later that night, sunday was church and we took the kids to the ranch and a picnic it was fun to just be us...lots of laughs some puking K gets car sick easy and it happened yesterday on the way to the ranch poor kid...then he was hyper as ever!
So last week my brother in law decided K2 needed a buzz cut which I told him no to for about 10minutes probably then I gave in...I have nothing against buzz cuts I just don't really like them for my kids ...but he talked me into it and here he is....glad it will grow back in soon :) I just like being able to do their hair I know I'm weird ha ha!
Other than these things and this, this morning K2 decided he is no longer afraid of the water and went straight in today clothes and all :)

ME THINKS/He thinks/ We thinks??
Is anybody else disgusted with the Casey Anthony trial outcome??
it really makes me ill what the world is coming too....
innocent people get penalized far worse sometimes then the guilty just to make a statement its quite sickening....
kind of how the world is functioning right now though where evil is made good etc etc....
How singing songs at Christmas about the true meaning of Christmas the whole reason there is CHRISTmas is offensive or saying a prayer???etc etc
it sometimes makes me so sad to watch the news a see what the "world" is trying to make "normal" those things that are completely degrading wrong JUST PLAIN WRONG.
I got an email the other day that I love because it is so true and those of us who don't speak up for what we believe in and the freedoms we enjoy we won't be enjoying them for long if we don't make a stand....
Andy Rooney says:
I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I don't agree with Darwin , but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his Theory of Evolution.
Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game. So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the entire Book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home from the game.
But it's a Christian prayer, some will argue.
Yes, and this is the United States of America and Canada , countries founded on Christian principles. According to our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1. So what would you expect -- somebody chanting Hare Krishna?
If I went to a football game in Jerusalem , I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.
If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad , I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.
If I went to a ping pong match in China , I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.
And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit.
When in Rome .....
But what about the atheists? Is another argument.
What about them? Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs.. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer!
Unfortunately, one or two will make that call.

One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do.
I don't think a short prayer at a football game is going to shake the world's foundations.
Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights.. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep. Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying.
God, help us. And if that last sentence offends you, well, just sue me.
The silent majority has been silent too long. It's time we tell that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard that the vast majority doesn't care what they want. It is time that the majority rules! It's time we tell them,

Keep looking up.

Thanks for that video clip of "watch your step". It truly portrays what happens when one does NOT watch their step. As well, as the beauty of what does happen when one DOES watch their step. So many good and loveable families are being torn apart because of pornography. It's a sickening disease. It's heartbreaking to watch many of those around me succumb to it's vices. It CAN be avoided. We must fight with all we have to keep it from spreading. Thankfully it has not hit my home.....but be assured that I am always on guard, knowing full well that no home is immune to it.
P.S. I too have never let Dean give our boys a buzz cut. It just wasn't my style......but you know something?......I look at K2 with his and think, maybe I should of let my boys have one for the summers when they were little. K2 is SO dang CUTE in his. Seriously!
I Personally Just Love the Hands In The During Photo of the Buzz Cut Which By The Way I LOVE on Karsen It Shows Off His Darling And Stunning Perfect Little Cute Face Instead of All That Crazy Hair! Not That His Hair Is Bad---I Love His Hair. I Have to Agree With Lynn on the Summer Buzz Cut For Boys---It Must Feel Grand On These Little Guys and Besides It's Less Maintenance For You too. But Whatever His Hair Looks LIke He Will Still Always Be Cute Kars To Me. I Love That Boy!
I Love The Ranch Photo's and All The Summery Other Ones and Thoughts Too.
See You at the Pool in a Few.
Love Ya Chris!

So fun to read your post! I love summer time too. There are so many wonderful things that happen during the summer. I can't believe how big your kids are getting. I just can't wait to see you and your whole family in a few weeks. You are such a good mom always making the most of your time with your kids. I love you!
Summer is the best, can't wait to enjoy it!!
Yes I don't think anyone has ever gotten hurt from praying, not sure why everyone gets so angry about it.
When our 2 oldest was 2 Spencer buzzed his head. OH and I was sleeping, glad you were able to give your permession.
Excited to see you, travel safe!!
Love, love that last quote. What fun to be able to just run around at the ranch and enjoy the outdoors.
