I just got back from voting and I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. I was so excited to go vote. Especially since I only had to wait 5 minutes. We tried to vote early and went one evening about 6:30, and we would have had to wait 2 hours. It is neat to see so much interest in this election. It will be interesting to see how the election turns out later tonight. I really hope that McCain wins. If not, it will really be interesting to see how the next few years go.
I also wonder how prop. 8 will turn out in California. I just saw on KUTV news a new anti-prop 8 commercial. ( I was going to post the link, but then I thought that I don't want a link to that kind of stuff on my blog. You can see it on KUTV web site if you want.) I could not believe it when I saw it. What is this world becoming. It made me kind of mad that people would go out and make this kind of propaganda without trying to fully understand everything.
The Church always does great in defense when these kind of things happen. This was the statement that the Church came out with in reference to this commercial.

Scott Trotter with the Church released this statement,

“The Church has joined a broad-based coalition in defense of traditional marriage. While we feel this is important to all of society, we have always emphasized that respect be given to those who feel differently on this issue. It is unfortunate that some who oppose this proposition have not given the Church this same courtesy.”

I love being apart of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is nice to feel that while there is so much bad in the world, things are going to be OK. We can find peace if we rely on our Savior and try our best to do what we know is right. Thanks to our wonderful Savior for this peace. There is a new song that has come out in the October Friend. It is my new favorite Primary song. It says exactly what a family is and the purpose of a family.
I LOVE IT!

Here is the link so you can listen to it. I don't know how to make it a link, so you will have to copy and paste it.

Halloween





We hope that everyone had a great Halloween. We had a lot of fun carving our pumpkin, dressing up and eating a lot of candy. William dressed up like a knight and Hannah and Brooklyn dressed up like little Spanish girls in flamingo dancing dress. Thanks to Grandma Jeanne for getting the dresses earlier this year when she visited Spain.

Happy Birthday William


On October 22nd was William's birthday. I can't believe that he is three. He has grown up so fast. Some of my favorite things about William is his sweet caring personality. He is always so helpful with Brooklyn. She could be entertained by him for hours. He is also a jokester... I wonder who he got that from...Jake. He can be so funny, even when you are trying to discipline him. He will say something funny, or just giggle the whole time you are trying to get mad at him, and his giggle is contagious. I love it! But the thing that just melts my heart is when he looks at me with his big brown eyes. We love you William.



The next video is kind of long so you don't have to watch it all. The reason I put it on is because I love William's reaction to each present he received. he loved them. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Proctor and all the Aunts and Uncles for some great presents.







We had a family birthday party and went bowling. This was the first time we have taken our kids bowling, and they loved it. It was fun to watch them. I also found out that Jake is an AWESOME bowler. Hannah scored a 112 (with bumpers), which was higher than my score, of an 87. I guess my excuse is that she had bumpers and I didn't.



By the end of the day William was pretty tuckered out.

1970's















Martha found this awesome website and I just had to try it out. The picture of me is how I would have looked if I graduated in 1972, and Jake's is if he would have graduated in 1976. I think I look a lot like my mom when she graduated, and doesn't Jake look so stunning with his new hair do? You should try it out yourself. Go to yearbookyourself.com and I guarantee you a good laugh.
