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!

Yesterday I was reading through my email and came across and email from Delta airlines (today I got another email from the President of the air transportation association) about how Oil speculators are driving the price of oil up.

The email pointed me to www.stopoilspeculationnow.com that allows you to enter your zip code and send a message (email or letter) to your congress person! The website also has some pretty interesting statistics such as: “As speculators continue to dominate the market, the volume of oil traded “on paper” has been as high as 22 times greater than the volume of oil consumed.”

I sent an email to my congressmen letting them know that they need to fix the laws and regulations surrounding oil speculation. If the price of gas is causing your financial budget a little grief you might consider doing the same and passing the word along.
