Ever had one of those days that seem very tough! We all do and of course when I saw this article about a family with 8 children (twins and sextuplets) I thought wow! Now that is amazing. It’s a great read and also has some great insights into raising lots of kids on a tight budget for those of us feeling the pocket book squeeze.

Here’s the intro paragraph:

“In an alternate universe, Jon and Kate Plus Eight’s Kate Gosselin could have been the mom we all love to hate: children with coordinated outfits, a spotless home, every detail of her life meticulously planned and executed. However, in this universe, Kate Gosselin gave birth to twins, followed four years later by sextuplets — and with her type-A personality subverted by the constant chaos of eight children, she’s become one of reality televison’s most sympathetic characters.”

Here are some great pictures from October 2008

I just wanted to do a quick post on my Nephew Taylor. I found out today that he earned his Faith in God award! I’m very proud of him and his efforts to follow the commandments.

If everyone has a moment and could just post a quick comment to Taylor that would be great.

Congrats Taylor and we love ya!

There is lots of news and media surrounding some key propositions on marriage coming up in this election year around our nation.

The two biggest propositions on marriage are

• Proposition 8 in California
• Proposition 102 in Arizona

Both propositions are trying to ammend state constitutions to define marriage as been a man and a woman.

I am in favor of both of these propositions and encourage everyone that values marriage and family to support these propositions. Although I can’t cast my vote in these states I thought I would help spread the word.

Here is a great video discussing the topic of marriage.

Here’s some great photos from this summer. We’ve had a lot of fun with a couple family reunions, camping and visits from family and friends.

This summer is a litter shorter then normal as our kids are in year round school. Mya, Olivia and maybe Maddie will start school tomorrow so I guess summer is officially over…

Enjoy the pictures. We’ve sure had a great summer and hope all you did as well!
