What we've been up to

I don't know that I have anything really exciting to share this week. Last weekend David and I took the girls out to campaign in regards to Prop 8 - To Protect Traditional Marriage. For those not living in California, this coming election will pose the proposition to legalize and create equal rights for gay/lesbians within the state. Of course this would create long term conditions and situations that we don't want our children to have to face. I think it was important for the girls to see us doing this and understand our belief of traditional marriage. Even though they are young...I know it's important for them to see us stand up for what we know is right. We put a prop 8 sticker in our car window and I overheard Carmen talking to her friend about it. She said, "oh yeah, that sticker means we knock on doors and talk to people about being married"...so maybe she didn't get the whole concept, but at least she knows what we believe.

I spent most of today attempting to watch General Conference. It didn't go so well. David was gone and I was by myself with the girls. Of course they couldn't care less about the conference. I kept getting so frustrated with them and tried to distract them with movies in the other room, but to no avail. I was getting so hot tempered with them that I finally put them both in the car and drove around for an hour until at least Aliza fell asleep. I was going to just leave her asleep in the car (in the garage with the car door opened) so I could watch the rest of conference. She woke up as I was getting Carmen out of the car...oh well for being spiritually fed today. I hope tomorrow goes more smoothly.

Sorry to do these mega posts, but I would rather have one big post than a million little posts. Here are some cute picture I took of the girls today. I have more, but these were two of my favorites. I don't know where Carmen learned to do the peace sign, but it was pretty funny when she posed like this for the picture!
