We are all enlisted til the conflict is over

As most of you are aware I live in Az, but originate from Ca. I still have a lot of family there and was kept up to speed with Prop 8. Arizona decided to pass their own amendment before the judges overturned the existing law. Sadly we haven't received the same backlash that Ca has. My sister lives just a stones throw from the LA Temple. She went down to where they were protesting and took these pictures.

Ben as been telling me about the the bad things that are being said about the church and while it is sad to see one group that makes up a very small percentage of the voters being singled out and picked on. It also is a testimony builder to see that Satan is out there and contorting everything pure and sacred so that it no long is to main stream. Well that is it for me. Just felt like blogging about it. It just reminds me to do those simple but important things everyday to keep myself and my family safe.

Happy Birthday Lily

So I learned that you should add your pictures in the opposite order that you want them to display. My baby is 3! She had a fun birthday and got lots of toys that her sisters immediately took. Kate's reasoning for taking her mermaid was because she never got one for her birthday. She loves this ballerina outfit and the new dress up shoes. When she opened them she exclaimed "Oh my gosh!". Instead of a cake we did cupcakes and put a Dora candle on one. It think she liked the frosting off of three of them. Thanks to Halloween and a birthday next to each other we are extremely over sugared here.

Too much frosting!

She wants dad to stop taking her picture.

Halloween

So this year I decided I wasn't paying 15 dollars per outfit and that wew were just going to make due with what we have. I did buy a 5 dollar Hanna Montana wig for Daphne, but unfortunetly she took off early to do makeup and nails with friends and I didn't get a picture of her. By the time she got home she looked like Hanna strung out on drugs. So I convinced Kate and Lily that ballerinas were great and I had the stuff. It also helped that Kate's friend Lauren was also going to be a ballerina. I just told Daphne to talk it up so they wouldn't change their minds.

This is our scary monster LILIZILLA. Kate gave her a cupcake with black frosting. I think she resembles her grandpa Harden a bit. I love this picture.
