I am not a political woman, but I am a patriot !!!!










My friend Krista posted this on Facebook !!! And this is exactly what the masses have done to our country !!! Stand up America and take our country back from the wicked men who have stepped all over our constitution!!!!!

As the late Adrian Rogers said, "you cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
This man is truly a genius!

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".

All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A. After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little. The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that. Remember, there is a mid-term election in 2010!

The Special Night Finally Arrived !!!

There were about 75 people at Jen's baptism, thanks to everyone who came, Jen was very appreciative. And I didn't get every one's picture and I'm sick about it... but wrestling a two year old is hard when you're an old lady. I loved what I heard of the talks by Brother Martinez and Brother Swinney, and will be eternally grateful to Linda Ryan for conducting the music and for Susie Bessinger for playing the piano so beautifully !!! Can I ever thank Gary enough for baptizing Jen? Probably not, we're grateful for all who came to be a part of Jen's special night !!!










Sister Denton and Jayden before everyone arrived, we found some Harry Potter glasses in the Primary room in the Stake Center. Doesn't he look like Harry P??











Sister Turner, Sister Denton and Jen as we arrived, and then after Jen got dressed for her big Dunking !!!











Jen, the Sister Missionaries and Gary Brunsvik who baptized Jen before the baptism.










Jen with Linda and Tom Ryan and Gary before the baptism.











Jen and Ryan and Whitney Mead, a friend who told Jen several years ago she would be dunked one day !!










Jen and Kristi Call a super friend !!!










Jayden and his new friend Ryan before the baptism !!!










Jen and her cousin Arbia, her only family until now. She came to be with Jen on her big night and was so proud of her. She never tried to talk her out of it, she came to support her. I'd say that is a pretty strong family tie. If you can't tell those are tears on Jen's face, "happy sad" tears !!!










Jen's new family members came to support her too !! My brother Mark and his wife Sara, my sister Jamie, my niece Jessica and her husband Nick and daughter KitKat, came because she is now one of us and we take care of our own.











Kaipo and Iban Ramos came too, and thanks to Kaipo's help and the crackers and water she supplied, we were able to keep Jayden entertained during the service !!! What a lucky girl Jen is to be a part of this new family of Saints who love her and want her to know it !!!










Stefanie and Jordyn Adams and Caleen and Kevin Beatty were there to support Jen in her new life, what a great support system Jen now has !!!











Marnee and Mike Seamons are a Missionary family, here to support Jen in her new adventure !!










Maddy Lemon, Kelly Laing and Miss P came to support their new friend !!










Jen and Jayden after her baptism, isn't he cute and she is glowing !!! And Jen did choose the right !!!














The cupcakes Stefanie Adams created for Jen's get together after her baptism were so precious, and done in white to symbolize Jen's new life !! Thanks Stef you Rock as usual !!
