Ok. Ok. Enough already. After many chastisements, I have decided to change my blog. I have nothing to report, and no personal or family pictures to post. What can I say, our lives are pretty boring with out our children and grandchildren around. I will just leave you with one of my favorite quotes. General George Washington gave a speech that stirred the hearts of his army at Valley Forge. You can almost hear Heavenly Father saying something similar to all of us before we left the Pre-existence to head for earth life. "My brave fellows, you have done all I asked you to do, and more than could be reasonably expected; but your country is at stake, your wives, your houses, and all that you hold dear. You have worn yourselves out with fatigues and hardships; but we know not how to spare you. If you will consent to stay only one month longer, you will render that service to the cause of liberty, and to your country, which you probably never can do under any other circumstances. The present is emphatically the crisis which is to decide our destiny" (quoted in George Washington, 4:332-33)

This is my favorite picture. I have it hanging in my office - I keep hoping for a larger one. I love what the picture stands for - this country was founded on teachings/principles from God.

It is a great picture! So even though I like pictures of your family, it was a good filler!
I am officially starting a campaign... NEW POST, NEW POST, NEW POST!!!! I will not post again until you change your blog. Please don't let it come to this. The ball is in your court. :)
Good book to read. Historical Fiction about George Washington crossing the Delaware and how it was the turning point in the war. You never know when the three Nephites will show up.
"The Crossing" by Howard Fast.

Okay Uncle dandy- I am getting a little bored with your post- I keep checking for an update, but no! Kacy says HI and no longer says "oh-tay". Ryan taught her how to say her K sounds, I think I will miss that little ohtay. I will not miss her name being Tacy though.
