This is why blogging is NOT for the faint of heart...

Everytime I blog, I am punished, SEVERELY! I'm not joking. Here are some pictures I started collecting of the cruel and unjust punishment that is thrust upon me every time I blog...

My living room actually started out clean on this day, really it did.

You know that sticky, greasy Halloween makeup that sticks to everything and does NOT want to come off ANYTHING (including skin and the bathtub!)? Well, HOW ON EARTH did these guys find a sticky black Halloween Makeup Kit (with ONLY BLACK in it, none the less) a full 3 months after Halloween was over?

Suzanne said...: I know...what am I suppose to do, though? There really is NO time for blogging, but I like it and I should do SOME things I enjoy, right?! I'll tell myself (read, "Lie to myself") that I'll do something for ME as an award when "everything else" is finished, but I could easily just work, work, work all the time and THAT'S NO FUN!; February 13, 2009 at 4:53 PM

val said...: I have slacked at commenting, but had to say how true this is! I love blogging, it is our 'me' time, but we always have to give on something else... like sleep, clean houses, clean kids...etc. I can't believe how much make-up these guys got on them. Should've sent them out trick-or-treating!; March 7, 2009 at 8:21 AM

I've been excitedly saying, "Myk & Salise are gonna have a baby! I'm gonna be a grandma!" So yesterday I told Zoe (age 4), "Auntie Tiff had her baby!" Zoe started jumping up and down and yelled, "Yeah! I'm a grandma now!" (1-23-2012)

(Abbee) "Wow, Mom, you look like a grandma today!"
(2-27-2009)

(Zac )"Mom! Your eyes are so black!"
(Mom)"They are? No, I have blue eyes. Why do you think they are black?"
(Zac)"Because you are sooo evil!"
(Mom)"What? Why do you say that? I'm nice, I'm not evil!"
(Zac)"But your eyes are so black and your fingernails are so sharp because you are TURNING evil, but you are still nice for now!" (2/11/2009)

The Family: A Proclamation to the World

The First Presidency and Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
We, the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.
In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshiped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by which His children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize his or her divine destiny as an heir of eternal life. The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally.
The first commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife. We declare that God's commandment for His children to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force. We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife.
We declare the means by which mortal life is created to be divinely appointed. We affirm the sanctity of life and of its importance in God's eternal plan.
Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. "Children are an heritage of the Lord" (Psalms 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, to teach them to love and serve one another, to observe the commandments of God and to be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives—mothers and fathers—will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations.
The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation. Extended families should lend support when needed.
We warn that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill family responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God. Further, we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society.
