Power hungry world leaders and the U.N Small Arms Treaty.

I want to share this with everyone who I know who cares about the constitution of the United States. There are people right now who are trying to take away our individual right to own firearms without hindrance from our own government and absurdly enough from the U.N as well. Please take the time to click on the link above and read in more detail about what is going on and for your own sakes please vote during the midterm elections.

SO COOL!!!

On Saturday, Kevin called me outside to show me this. Isn't it cool?!?! It's so slimy and gooey. And boy does it move slow. And it is the biggest one I have ever seen. I put one of Shelby's shoes next to it to give you a better idea of how big it is. She wears a size 6, for those of you who know kid sizes. Anyway, I think the little guy is kinda cute, and I thought I'd share. :)

Luke's handstand

Yesterday Luke suddenly yelled at me to look at him and I saw this. I didn't even know that he could do that since neither Heidi or I have taught him. He's only seen me do it in the living room and I guess wanted to try. After leaning against the wall he kicked his feet off so he was facing me but still upside down and doing a headstand without the wall. I was so proud and he obliged me by performing again for the camera. I'm such a proud Dad.

My Replacement

This morning at breakfast it was Luke's turn to say the prayer. And part way through it he got stuck and forgot what to say. I was about to open my mouth to help him when Shelby who was next to him, leaned toward him and in a very sweet voice, whispered in his ear what to say. I got teary eyed. And when it was done, Luke said, "Mom! Shelby did help me. That's cause she's a Mommy. She is a beautiful Mommy!" He turned and said "thank you for helping me, Shelby". And she said, with a cute little smile, "You're welcome Yuke"(she has trouble with her L's). I am so proud of my kiddos. I just love them SOOOO much!!!

My sleeping family.

This afternoon after I woke up we were all hanging out in the living room. Luke got in trouble, went to time out and fell asleep there. Then Heidi fell asleep on the couch and Shelby laid down next to me and fell asleep while I rubbed her back. They've had a busy day feeding the missionaries, going on a walk and to the park. All while I slept. I have a great wife!

Meet Jasper...

About a week and a half ago, we added a new member to our family. His name is Jasper. We just LOVE him. We drove down to Boise to pick him up. And then we headed on down to Elko, Nevada to spend some time with Dixie and Zach(I know I told some of you that i was going to get a picture of Dixie with her baby bump, but I didn't, I'm sorry). We had so much fun!! Here are some pictures of Jasper and the kids. Luke and Shelby are so happy to finally have a dog. Luke has been telling me over and over for the past 2 years that he NEEDS a dog. Both he and Shelby are very good with Jasper. And he is quite patient with them.

Tired pups
Dixie's Moose, Jasper, and his sister, Ella(we brought Ella to Elko. She was sold to a family there).

Jasper was taking a nap, and Luke thought he needed to be read a story. He chose to read "Lady and the Tramp". Quite appropriate.
They had so much fun together, it was so sad that we had to separate them.

I just love his cute little face!! And I am so happy to finally have a dog too!
