THE LATEST NEWS....VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION 8

I HAVEN'T UPDATED MY BLOG IN A WHILE. SCHOOL HAS KEPT ME PRETTY BUSY. THE KIDS HAVE HOMEWORK LIKE THEIR IN JR. HIGH OR HIGH SCHOOL. MO IS DOING AFTERSCHOOL SPORTS NOW TOO. THE WEEKENDS ARE FILLED WITH GAMES, SHOPPING, CLEAN-UP AND ERRANDS AND CHURCH ACTIVITIES. THE LATEST IN THE NEWS IS THE EFFORTS TO KEEP MARRIAGE TRADITIONAL. I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE INFORMATION THAT I'VE RECEIVED THROUGH THE PROPOSITION ITSELF, THE MEDIA, THE NEWSPAPER ARTICLES, DISCUSSIONS AND JUST TALKING TO NEIGHBORS. I STRONGLY FEEL THE NEED FOR MARRIAGE ONLY TO BE RECOGNIZED BY A MAN AND A WOMAN. OTHER SUCH IDEAS SHOULD BE KEPT IN ONE'S OWN RELATIONSHIP. NOT FORCED ON THE AMERICAN PUBLIC. I DO KNOW A FEW HOMOSEXUAL'S. I HAVE GOOD FRIENDSHIPS WITH THEM. I DO NOT AGREE ON THEIR LIFESTYLE BUT, IT IS THEIR CHOICE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT MARRIAGE IS GOD'S PLAN FOR HIS CHILDREN HERE ON EARTH. WE ARE ALL HERE FOR A PURPOSE. WE WEREN'T JUST PUT ON THIS PLANET TO DO WHATEVER. THERE IS A PURPOSE. GOD IS PERFECT. HE KNOWS EVERTHING. WE WILL NEVER HAVE HIS KNOWLEDGE WHILE HERE ON EARTH. HE HAS GIVEN US GUIDELINES TO FOLLOW ON HOW TO LIVE AND GAIN AS MUCH KNOWLEDGE AS GOD WOULD HAVE US RECEIVE. HE HAS GIVEN US LAWS AND GOVERNMENTS TO HELP US CONTINUE TO FOLLOW HIM. AS WE TRY TO DEFER FROM THAT PATH, WE ARE PUT IN PATHS OF CONFUSION. OUR PURPOSE HERE ON THIS EARTH IS TO GAIN ETERNAL HAPPINESS THAT GOD HAS TO OFFER. WE ARE GIVEN OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN AND GROW, TO PROGRESS IN THIS LIFE. WE ARE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO FIND A SPOUSE TO MARRY AND PRO-CREATE. GOD IN HIS WISDOM HAS MADE THAT PROCESS ONLY CAPABLE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN. EACH HAVING BODIES CAPABLE OF BRINGING GODS CREATIONS TO THE EARTH TO OBTAIN MORTAL BODIES. IT CAN'T BE DONE ANY OTHER WAY. CHILDREN ARE MEANT TO BE BORN TO AN EARTHLY FATHER AND EARTHLY MOTHER. EACH HAVE INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILTIES FOR THEIR CHILDREN. I KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE. I AM A WIFE. I AM A MOTHER. I HAVE A FATHER AND A MOTHER. THAT IS HOW I EXIST TODAY. IF WOMAN STAY WITH WOMAN. MAN WITH A MAN. THE HUMAN RACE WILL SLOWLY DISAPPEAR. THAT IS BECAUSE WE ARE MEANT TO BE WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX. I KNOW MANY STRUGGLE WITH THIS. I TESTIFY TO YOU. GOD IS IN CHARGE. I AM NOT IN CHARGE. YOU ARE NOT IN CHARGE. HE IS. THIS IS HIS WORLD. WE ARE HIS CHILDREN. HE LOVES ALL OF US. THAT IS WHAT A FATHER DOES. HE IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE. WE NEED TO LOOK AFTER HIM.....I KNOW THIS WITH ALL MY HEART. THIS IS WHAT IS IN MY HEART AND SOUL THIS HOUR.....GOD BLESS..

More Photos Of Summer 2008

Summer of 2008

Here's photos of Baby's birthday, kids swimming etc....We actually had a blast this summer. Usually, it's quite a headache having them all home but, this year was different. They are getting older I guess....We started the summer going to Utah for a week to visit family and have Maile baptized. Then we were able to visit cousins in the Bay Area. We made trips to the library which the kids enjoyed. We went to swim parties. Went to the beach 3 times. Went to Magic Mountain and ended with one last beach trip yesterday! Yaaaahoooo! School is on MONDAY! NO MORE STAYING UP LATE! Back on schedule! School starts 8-18-08.

Baby Strantz turns "3"

Baby turned 3 on July 2nd. We had a pool party of course for him. He received a bike, tons of Rescue Heroes, Dino clogs, books, money etc...He's still "Baby".
