It's a boy!

Hooray! It's a boy! Amanda and Phil are going to be proud parents of a little baby boy! Amanda posted some ultrasound pictures on her blog and there's no question about it! It's DEFINATELY a boy! In the u/s, he's flaunting his family jewls! I'm so excited for a boy! Now I will be the proud Auntie of one of each!

Also, for a quick update, I just want to thank everyone for the prayers, my cousin Jill and her beautiful baby Sydni are doing great! Sydni's lungs are a little underdeveloped, but she is breathing on her own! It's amazing what the human body can do, especially with a little help from Heavenly Father!

Now, I better get back to doing my schoolwork before my teacher catches me blogging!

Baby Day!

Oh my goodness! Today is definately Baby Day for my family!

At about noon, my cousin Jill headed for the hospital for the birth of her first baby! She is about four weeks early, but the doc knew the baby would come early. So if you guys don't mind sending some good vibs and prayers to Jill, Adam, and baby Stevenson, I'd really appreciate it!

Also, Amanda and Phil find out today if they are having a boy or girl! (I'm secretly hoping its a boy!) I'm not sure exactly when their doctor's appointment is, but I'm just excited for another baby in the family! If its a boy, I want to take over some 'lil smokies, but if it's a girl, I want to get some chicken breasts... Lol!

I'm just really excited for the wonderful baby day!

I'll let you all know how it goes for both Adam and Jill and Amanda and Phil!

Gang-free since 1987

I stole this from my second Cousin(?) Kent's blog...



Your hard working representatives are meeting for the next couple weeks on the Hill. Voting on bills and passing laws that seek the best interests of Utah.


Today a bill sponsored by Sen. Jon Greiner, R-Ogden, stated that communities could create gang-free zones. It passed 26-1.Are they serious?? Once again the legislature is trying to pass something that is good in practice but fails to really THINK about it. Does a community put up signs that say "Gang-Free Zone - Thugs Keep Out". And lets say Walmart in Kearns becomes a gang-free zone. Does this mean that if any are seen within the store, they will be given a citation? Should we just give the gangs Kearns and Magna as gang-zones? Most are there now anyway.





The bill for gang-free zones is not going to change a thing. Do they really expect Gang members to follow this ludicrous law and pay fines.. It’s time politicians wake up and realize that it will take more than enacting fines against gang members..





And then lets look at how we are going to define "Gang". A group of 4 or more individuals wearing the same colors, or maybe a specific tattoo? I am sure that a gang is going to respect an area designated as a gang-free zone.. They are such law abiding citizens anyway and to fine them $100.00 is a joke.





This should be the boundary for a gang-free zone.




Now go back to work passing bills that really make a difference to our state like your underage tanning law, or making sure that you have to verify your age if using a open WiFi network.


Did you also know that our dear Pres. Obama has included 335 million dollars in the economic stimulus package for sexually transmitted disease education and prevention programs... 335,000,000??? And in the stimulus package??
