Yesterday was Malynn's third birthday. I cant believe how fast the time has gone by. I know its trite but it seriously seems like just yesterday I was thinking my water was breaking. (Whoops it wasent Ha Ha.) I thought that Malynn was never going to get out of the infant stage. It was so hard and stressful for me. I cried pretty much every day for four months. Then it got a little easier. Then she entered terrible two's and it was hard again. But through it all its been so fun to see her development and growth. She is so smart. She is so softhearted. She is so fun. She has always had the best hugs, she holds on so tight, you always know she is giving her all to you in that hug. She is the natural big sister. She loves to help with Kenna. (and she loves to tell Kenna what to do) She is so alive and in love with life. She is such a great little girl. It has been one of the greatest things in my life to see her change from a baby to a girl. So to my little three year old I say Happy Birthday, I love you and I cant wait to share this life and the next with you.

I just wanted to update everyone on Jake's medical activities. He got his gall bladder taken out two weeks ago. He did have stones in there, which the doctor was not expecting. He is feeling much better. He is almost back to his full energy, it is quite a relief. We are so grateful for prayers on his behalf. We also found out that his liver is doing pretty well. Were anticipating (and hoping for) a long period of good health. He is applying to law schools and looking for a job in the meanwhile. I am still coaching softball at Bonneville and still loving it. We just had a clinic for a fundraiser today and it went pretty well. Life if good, were blessed and grateful for it.

My Political Rant

I am really alarmed at the direction our country it heading. I am very worried about our president Barak Obama wanting to "reshape America" We have a crisis on our hands. Obama knows what that means, after all it was one of his advisors that said you never let a crisis go to waste. There has been a lot of talk lately of two periods in time the first is the great depression when Roosevelt was our president and the second was the economic downturn of the 80's when Reagan was the president. Both of these periods of time have things in common, most markebly the stock markets downturn. (I realize that I am oversimplifying things to make a point) The point that I want to make is that we see when we try to "reshape America" as Roosevelt did during the Great Depression with his New Deal, the consequence is a long period of depression and economic instablity. On the other hand when we return to principles of conservatism and capatilism we not only go through a period of shorter instablity but at the end we experience a long period of growth, development and prosperity. History does in fact repeat itself, do we really want the Great Deppression to repeat itself? Why are we trying to reshape America and try a new, new deal? Its so frustrating to see what is going on and see the leaders trying to turn away from proven methods to put forth their agendas. Agendas that will lead to the continuing of the economic downturn. I know that I have a very limited voice. I know that very few people will read this post. I know that it wont change anything but I have to vent my frustrations. I dont know how to change things, I dont know how to make my voice heard and honestly Im unwilling to go out on the streets and yell threw a megaphone my position. But this matters to me, conservatism matters to me, the principles of the constitution matter to me, capatilism matters to me and most of all America matters to me.
