Your heros.

Greatest Hero!

Who Is Your Hero?

Super Hero? Batman...all the way! Ditto.

Real Life Hero? (Someone you know personally) Our parents. Chris and I have the best parents. I totally scored in parents and In-laws.

Political Hero? Abraham Lincoln. Ditto.

Literary Hero? (That means fictional character from a book) I don't read a whole lot I don't have time.

Historic Hero? The founding fahters. They had the courage to say "In God We Trust", which is made to seem wrong now days. It's not wrong it's necessary.


Book of Mormon Hero? Ammon

Bible Hero? (Besides Christ cause He is everyone's ultimate hero) Ruth and Naiomi

If you were a super-hero what would your power be? x-ray vision

What would your symbol be? underwear(because I would be able to see what everyone was wearing. Ah ha ha.

Family History Hero? Mary Fielding Smith! Sure why not.

What is the most heroic thing you have ever witnessed? a mother who gave her all to her children.


What is the most heroic thing you have ever done? This year I made it possible for my parents to go on a mission.


There is a hero in all of us, what is your trait(s) that make you one? I would do anything for anyone, to a fault usually. But I guess my trait would be interacting with kids, I think I am really good with kids.

Who has become your newest hero in the past week? My friend took on someone elses kid that got taken away from their parent because of neglect. Seeing my sister do it I know how hard it is to take on someone elses kid.


Now it is your turn. Once you have read this you must copy it to your blog/myspace and change the answers for yourself!

Happy Birthday Steve. 10/20/08


What do you get the guy who has everything? We decided to take him balloons. The kids absolutely loved it. They picked out the balloons and the party hats and were so excited to go.
We are so lucky to live close to Chris and I's(5 hours away from mine but still close) parents. My kids share a special bond with Steve. We love him because he's a big teddy bear at heart. He's a wrestling, laid back, laughing kind of Grandpa. We love to get little drawings from him. We love you Dad.

My Dear Country. 11/4/08

Norah says it all here. Click on her song in my playlist to hear it.

"My Dear Country"
By Norah Jones

'Twas Halloween and the ghosts were out,
And everywhere they'd go, they shout,
And though I covered my eyes I knew,
They'd go away.

But fear's the only thing I saw,
And three days later 'twas clear to all,
That nothing is as scary as election day.

But the day after is darker,
And darker and darker it goes,
Who knows, maybe the plans will change,
Who knows, maybe he's not deranged.

The news men know what they know, but they,
Know even less than what they say,
And I don't know who I can trust,
For they come what may.

'cause we believed in our candidate,
But even more it's the one we hate,
I needed someone I could shake,
On election day.

But the day after is darker,
And deeper and deeper we go,
Who knows, maybe it's all a dream,
Who knows if I'll wake up and scream.

I love the things that you've given me,
I cherish you my dear country,
But sometimes I don't understand,
The way we play.

I love the things that you've given me,
And most of all that I am free,
To have a song that I can sing,
On election day.

Happy Birthday Datan. 10/21/08


Happy Birthday Datan.

What I love about Datan:
He has a good kind heart.
He loves babies and being a big brother.
He is so good with both his siblings.
He is so smart and loves to learn especially about the human body, it is so fun as a Mom to teach him.
He has such enthusiasm for life that is just infectious.

Thanks for your excitement and love you bring to our life we love you son.
