Do you know these people?

Okay people I have been hasseled enough! "No, I do not know these people, but maybe someday I will."
How about these people? While the kids were at a Birthday party today I took some time to fix something at my house that has really been bugging my family. Now if you guys could just pressure me into changing the family picture out in the halway. It dosen't even have Payton in it, she pretends that she is the teddy bear that Parker is holding. How sad is that?

I am a few weeks behind!







Grandma and Papa Mallory came to visit us on there way to Las Vegas. It was Parker's last tournement, and he was glad that they came to watch him get his medal. I was able to get out of the house by myself and go to the adult stake confrence meeting, while the kids went out and got ice cream with Grandma & Papa, and now everytime we drive by the ice cream place the kids yell that is were Grandma & Papa took us for ice cream Yay! Here are a few pictures, using my new camera so bare with me.

We need good elected officials to fight for us.

Here is an artical from the media center of my congressman, if you want your congressman to oppose this google him/her and write to them. We need to be informed citizens, and let our elected officials know how we feel.
Obama Administration's "Cap and Tax" Proposal: Bishop and Chaffetz Opposed to $3.01 Billion Tax Increase on Utahns
March 26, 2009 4:48 PM
Washington, DC – Data released today by the House Committee on Ways and Means demonstrates that every state in the Union – and every American – will be hit hard by a new and highly regressive “Cap and Trade” tax.
The President’s recently-released budget imposes a $3.01 billion tax on Utahns. On a per capita basis, each Utahn will be hit with $1,115.47 in new taxes on their electricity bill alone. Families will be hit even harder. The data show this new tax will increase the average Utah family’s (3.08 people/household) annual electricity bill by $3,435.65 or by nearly $290 per month. While other energy costs are low as a result of the recession, all energy costs will increase as the Administration increases the velocity of its frontal assault on American energy security.

At a recent congressional hearing on energy consumption, Mr. Howard Gruenspecht, an expert witness from the Energy Information Agency (EIA), a non-partisan federal agency dealing with energy issues, was asked what percent of Americans consume some form of energy. He replied: “All of them.” Further, he was also asked what percent of Americans would be impacted by a cap and trade tax. His answer: “Probably all of them.”

Since everyone in America consumes energy, then everyone in America will suffer the consequences of the Obama Administration’s foolhardy proposal to regulate climate change through so-called “Cap and Trade (Tax)” policies. The Administration’s proposal will not only further cripple the economy, it will impose a crushing energy consumption tax on every man, woman, and child in the United States.

In response to this proposal, Congressman Jason Chaffetz said, “With so many individuals already living on the margins, this massive new tax increase will destroy our hope of recovering from the current recession. The financial security of all Americans will be jeopardized if this tax is enacted. Now is not the time to increase taxes, nor is this the way. Despite the President’s assurances that 95 percent of Americans will not see their taxes increase by one dime, the numbers clearly show his plan will actually increase taxes on 100 percent of Americans.”

Congressman Rob Bishop said, "Cap and Tax would be a tremendous burden on all Utahns, but thankfully it is not the only option we have to reach clean air goals. The Western Caucus will introduce other, better options for Congress that meet clean air goals without raising energy costs for all Americans. There are better ways, and we will fight for them."

Yay! I am so excited!

I went to Provo today and purchased the couch that I have been wanting for almost two years.
(This is a stock photo, but just so you know where the lady is sitting is where I plan to spend all of my free time from now on, if you have any good books let me know I may need to borrow a few to break in my new couch.)


Don't worry about our old couch I am going to give it a good home downstairs, my only problem is how to get it down there before my other couch arrives on the 19th. I wish Jer was here (for more reasons than just the couch.)
