Tim Thomas Commercial

I just can't help myself! I had to post this commercial of Tim Thomas!
Great year for Tim Thomas...See ya next year buddy!
Funny Commercial! Boys can't stop laughing!


NSA Whistle Blowers tell all about "that building" in Utah....

Yep, we just came back from Utah and we have seen "the building". Of coarse it's being built in Utah. Where is the one place left in the United States that you can still find a some-what moral society, where most individuals can pass a background check with no felonies, no sex-offenders, and pretty much, decent hard working, God loving people, very little alcohol or drug abuse....yep, in Utah.
BYU, Universtity of Utah, and Utah Valley University to probably be exact. (mostly Utah County, Utah).
There has always been a high recruitment from the government to BYU and Utah students to government agencies (Secret Service, FBI, CIA, NSA, DEA, Naval Shipyards, Naval Intelligence). Personally, my husband (whose family is from Utah), has 3 family members who were or still are in such agencies. We know a ton of people in our area who work at the Naval Shipyard. Recruited by the Navy while they were at BYU or at Utah University. These students, more than likely have served missions (foreign missions and know other languages fluently as well). They are highly prized grads for government agencies. So, as I was saying, of coarse Utah is where the newest and latest "building" is being built.
If you don't know what I am talking about, this will sum it up...It'a huge compound, on what could be as large as 5 metropolitan cities, being built in the side of the mountain, just west of Alpine, Lehi and American Fork, Utah, on the other side of Lake Utah. (I think that's the name of the Lake...Utah isn't my area of expertise geographically). It is an NSA (National Security Agency) compund that will collect and STORE all data. The governemnt has been doing this for years without your knowledge. Now with Google and other Social Medias forcing you to give up your privacy rights by agreeing to thier "new" terms of service and agreements that you must check "yes" to use their services, they now do it with your supposed consent. It's as if the 4th Ammendment does NOT exist. They will store everything you do! Everything! Even if you are joe blow who is a nobody and is not a national security threat to our country or even to the squirrel outside on the tree looking at me. Scary....Emails, everytime you log into your computer, every line you type, your bills, your financial records, your pictures, your health records, your assets, your children, your water usage, your electricity usage, your vehicle information, your toll pass usages, your trash services, your religious affiliations, your charities, your everything is being stored. EVERYTHING!

Why?

Because Americans are the threat to National Security. That truly is the logic of our government. They believe we are no longer capable of taking care of ourselves. We are their children that they have to tell us what to do and if we choose to think for ourselves, we get grounded. Put on their list. It's ok for the Mexican Drug Cartels, the Illegal Aliens and the Muslim Terrorists, such as Hezbollah, Hamas, the Taliban, and Al-Quaida, to do whatever they want, but if you are an American, better watch out....Big Brother is watching you! I pondered whether I should write this blog. But since I have made my feelings known on this blog and since I have verbally wrote things on Facebook of my views, I am probably on a "list" of some kind already. I'm on the "Mormon, religious zealot, hockey mom, boy scout mom, amateur blogger, home-schooler, pinterest addict, doomsday prepper, tea-party, NRA supporter, conservative, Republican, soldier supporter, healthcare provider, who thinks ObamaCare is a joke, who is part of the 54% of Americans who actually pay tax" list already, so what's the harm in one more post, right? I even thought I might delete some past posts. But why? Once it's out there,
YOU CAN NEVER GET IT BACK!
NEVER!
We are no secret to our government...
I watched 4 NSA, Former Directors, whose lives have been destroyed by our government because they chose to whistle-blow on what our government is really up to starting in about 2002. We had Intelligence that could have stopped 9-11. Our government chose to ignore it, and yet now days, if you check a box on some obsolete form that says you are a Tea Party supporter, all of a sudden, the IRS is now auditing you and harrassing you.
Hmmmm.......

What's that saying by Thomas Jefferson????

" A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have".....including all your civil liberties. They have clearly thrown out the Constitution and the Bill of Rights many many many moons ago.
Maybe we should throw our career politicians out and make a difference!

My soap box for the day!

Youth Temple Trip

Saturday was the Youth Temple trip. Carl and I went with the Youth. This is Clayton's 2nd time to the Temple, and first time with the Youth. We took him right after he turned 12. It's Michael's 4th time to the Temple. Once with just us family and 3 times with the youth!
This picture is courtesy of our Young Men's 2nd Councelor, Brother Kruger. He posted it on his blog and I saved it my computer!
He's a great photographer!


(To protect the identity of our Youth, I won't disclose names or which Temple we went to. Since there are 5 Temples in the area, I think I'm relatively safe in keeping the identity harder to find).

But anybody who knows me, knows which 2 Deacons are mine!!!!

"If I wanted America to Fail"....A MUST see!

Wow!!!! What a great video!!! Love this!!! So true, So true, So true....If only people would pull their head out of the sand! "If I wanted America to Fail" just about covers it all!

You gotta watch this!!!


YouTube, "If I wanted America to Fail"

Before clicking the Play button, scroll down to my Music list on the bottom and press Pause, so the music doesn't conflict with the video! Thanks! You will want to hear every word!

Food for thought....Ever read Mein Kempf????

If not (as most honest decent hard working Americans wouldn't stoop to read the book), let me just give you a little glimpse of Adolf Hitler's "masterpiece"...(and no I have never read this trash, however, there is enough highlighted information and literature out there to get the highlights!)

“If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough,
 it will be believed.”
― Adolf Hitler
“What luck for rulers that men do not think.”
―
Adolf Hitler
“What good fortune for governments that the people do not think.”
―
Adolf Hitler
“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it,
and eventually they will believe it.”
―
Adolf Hitler
Hitler taught this principle over and over. The bigger the lie, the more they will believe it!
Take for instance, Andy Andrew's book. "How do you kill 11 million people?"
YOU LIE TO THEM
Do you think when the Jews were told to get on that train and that they were going to a place where they would be safe and be with their families until we figure out to do with you, do you think they believed the lie?
Of coarse they did. Or they wouldn't have gotten on the train.
The bigger the lie, the more they will believe it! If you tell it over and over, they will believe it!
Wake up America! Wake up to the lies you see on Mainstream Media.
Start small....Just do some digging into the Pipeline and see what truth you can find. Do you really think Obama is going to reinstate the Pipeline? or will he let his friend Warren Buffett make BILLIONS of dollars on the transport of oil on his personal TRAIN Company he owns! (Awww Shocker!) Yep, that's right, the man who helped Obama get elected benefits if the Pipeline isn't functional. Straight out of the "Pelican Brief" as my husband pointed out.
Dig around into the Coal industry that is going bankrupt thanks to this administration and it's lies about coal.
Dig around in all the new legislation that has been created over the last 3 years. Might take you awhile to do that, since over 40,000 new regulations have been put in place with this current Presidential Administration.
Don't take my word, research for yourself. And please, actually research. Don't just take the Mainstream Media's take on it. You can find the truth if you look hard enough.

I heart Goalies!

It cracks me up! Hockey Goalies have more men fighting over them than any woman on earth!
They just seem to be the bell of the ball!
Go Tim Thomas!
My favorite goalie in the NHL and one of the top goalies in the NHL. Not only can he stop a puck, but he has AWESOME POLITICAL VIEWS! (:  (wink wink)
 (That comment is code for all the people who know what I am talking about!)

 This was my season's view of Tim Thomas! Loved watching him with all his saves!
This is Tim Thomas playing against my beloved Blackhawks! 2007



Tim Thomas against the New York Rangers! 2007


The Garden!
Enough said! The place speaks for itself....whether it's a Bruins game or a Celtic Game!

Great book! Recommend.

A look back....

A look back at Gordon B Hinckley with the late Mike Wallace. Great interview. I like Mike Wallace's viewpoint and questions and I love President Hinckley's answer.
Mormons aren't ashamed to be Mormon or ashamed of our beliefs even when being mocked by others.
We believe we are the Church that Jesus Christ set up in ancient times. Jesus Christ is our Keystone.

Awesome stuff!

A new way to start your day!!!

Yep, I have found the perfect motivation to get out of bed now everyday!!!

Resurrection

Happy Easter!


Acts 4:33, King James Version

"And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all."

I believe it is the witness of the Resurrection that truly gave them their strong conviction that Christ was their Lord and Savior, their King. Remember, they wondered who had taken their Lord from his tomb once the stone was rolled away. It was not their first thought, that Jesus had in fact, risen from the dead. They had to remember that He said He would rise on the third day! He did overcome death. He proved to man that their is eternal life, and that death is not where our journeys end. Christ is the Living Christ!
My son Clayton came across this verse as he was writing his talk on the Resuurection for church tomorrow.

1st Corinthians 15:17, King James Version

"And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain;
ye are yet in your sins."

Without this Resurrection, the Atonement doesn't mean what we think it means. Not having the Resurrection means the Atonement would be in vain.


3rd Nephi, Chapters 11-17

A skate at The Peaks in Provo

Carl decided he wanted to take the boys out for a skate at The Peaks. It's a rink in Provo. Clayton complained the whole time about having to go....I made him go because he hasn't been on the ice for more than a month and he was going to be starting his clinic in Everett this week. The minute he got on the ice, his mood changed. He had a blast (as usual). They raced and played the whole time. They even got in a usual disagreement with a Figure Skater. This unfortunatly is a not a unique situation in any rink. Figure Skaters hate Hockey Players and somehow they feel that their $5.00 fee to skate is worth more than the $15.00 my husband pays for the three of them to skate. They are extremely bossy about hockey players skating fast. They prefer the people that they share the ice with to be beginners hanging on to the rails so they can have the whole ice to themselves. Sharing is not a concept Figure Skaters grasp well. So, after this middle aged beginner Figure Skater gave Clayton an earful about him skating in HER space, he asked her if she was paying more for the ice than him? And if not, he would skate where he wanted to skate. Carl approaches her and asks why is she yelling at Clayton? She can talk to him, you know....the parent. As she was complaining, Carl simply asked "are you one of those Figure Skaters who don't like Hockey Players?" So, she skated off. Then she complained. The rink sided with Clayton and Carl. She then decides to bring out some cones. She blocked off some ice with 4 cones. So, Carl went and complained. The rink management said she has been warned not to do that and they can skate where ever they choose, cone or no cone. So Carl and the boys decided that this cone thing may be a good thing. They used HER cones for hockey drills! Carl said he'd never actually seen steam come out of someone's head until then. She was MAD! hahahahahahahaha
I wish I had been there.
Here's a few pictures that Grandpa Heber took...

Brotherly Love, of coarse....

A Pug's Life

I have the two laziest Chinese Pugs on the planet!


This is Brady!
He is named after Tom Brady.
However, they look nothing alike.
He just lays around all day and barks at the birds that he thinks are mocking him.


This is Gizzy!
She was named after Giselle, Tom Brady's wife.
She just lays in this chair and gives this particular sad face if we ask her to get down.
She has laid claim to this pillow and little nook in a corner chair.

A Pug's Life....I want one!

Are you safe?

Have you ever googled yourself? Have you ever found that when doing so, you will probably find your house. Your address and/or a picture of your house. Or you can just google map your address and a picture of your house will appear. Isn't that clever! So now robbers and thieves can case your house with ease. I only mention this, because my house has been targeted for 2 car break-ins. My tailgate has been stolen from my truck (no that isn't a joke). Both of my son's bikes have been stolen from our backyard. We have had an oil pan and a bike tire pump stolen from our backyard as well. Looking at the pictures of my house online, I can see why a robber would know exactly where to find what he is looking for. My backyard is in clear view and everything in my backyard is in plain sight. Six foot fences are no longer a guard to such invasion of privacy because now the drive by camera guy has cameras at 8 feet. You can also see my vehicles parked in my front yard as well. Turns out, I am not alone in this worry. I found some stories related to this very thing on the "survivalguy" blog. There is a way to impede the views as long as you stay on top of it.

"May the odds be forever in your favor"....


Loved the movie! Yes I dragged my whole family to the midnight showing last night! I have never done something that ridiculous....ever! But it was fun! Me and Michael were the only ones who have read the books! Carl claims he didn't have time to read it when it was on the Kindle for free and Clayton is just a lazy reader! Carl now wants to really read it! I love Katniss....My only 2 complaints....Katniss in the book is much more cold hearted, calculated, brilliant and very manipulative....They softened Katniss up for the movie a little too much....oh and the other thing, it never really shows the disdain that Katniss and Haymitch have for each other. They hate each other in the book. The movie made out as though they were friends. The way he calls her "sweetheart" in the book is always sarcastic and with hate. In the movie, it's almost a little bit of a pet name for Katniss. That they are friends. Her relationship with Haymitch will change repeatedly in the trilogy, but definitly in the first one, she hated him. She didn't understand why he could be such a drunk. It's only after she becomes victor, that she knows the pain and guilt all the victors feel. That's when she is able to see what makes Haymitch tick.


I do like the girl who was chosen to be Katniss! But I do prefer to see the "real" Katniss come out for the next 2 movies. Katniss is not weak on the outside. She is strong, strong-willed and cold and calculated! I want to see more of that!
"May the odds be ever in your favor!"

I cannot believe I have given in to the Hoopla!!!!

At what age do you become a "grown-up", who is beyond silly whims????
Yes, I have succumbed to the hoopla of the Hunger Games!
Yes, I have tickets to tonights midnight showing! In my little small town
that I adore, the little movie theater has already sold out 2 midnight showing auditoriums
(they accomodate 300 seats per auditorium).
They have one more they are still selling tickets for.
My husband who is a zombie on Thursdays, is going to bed to lie down after dinner
instead of watching our Favorite March Pasttime....March Madness! Which I have DVR'd all games
so we can watch. But he will be sleeping so I can drag him up at midnight to go with me and the boys.
For those who don't know me. I home school my boys. So this just means they will sleep in a little bit longer
being out till 230am with their "hunger-game-guru-fanatic" mom.


Done!

Ok, I am finished with Mockingjay!
The 3rd book in the Hunger Games trilogy.
Now I am ready to go see the movies!



I also have thoughts on the first two books on My Book Review Page also if you scroll down.

This just about sums it up....



Good Grief Charlie Brown!

After watching some basketball and enjoying the lazy day of doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that....My husband turns the TV to "Doomsday Preppers".....
Yep, AS IF I didn't already have enough prepping scenarios in my head!!!!!!
This show has just added all new things for me to worry about!
Nope, it's not OK, to just live in my little bubble of preparing for an economic collapse or an earthquake and/or tsunami.......Noooo, now I have a whole new list of catastrophes to concern myself with.

Let's see....These were my 5 concerns BEFORE:
Husband's Job Loss
Economic Collapse (Domestically or Globally)
Earthquake
Tsunami
Washington Volcano Eruptions

....Now I get to worry abouth these new things.....

Super Volcano Eruptions (particularly Yellowstone)
Radiation Exposure (Nuclear plant meltdowns, like the one in Japan)
A "polar shift"
A Pandemic (Some deadly virus....i.e. "killer flu")
Coronal Mass Ejection, X-Class
The Electrical Grid being completely shutdown
Social Chaos
Gangs and Riots
Bullet Shortages 
Food Shortage and/or Famine
Government Cutbacks causing Police & Fireman Layoffs
Terrorists Attacks in the US
Mexican Drug Cartels
Islam Extremists
The 12th Imam is to arrive in 2012
EMP's from Nuclear Bombs (yes Iran, Syria, Turkey all have nuclear weapons)
Gas Shortages and/or unaffordable
Heating & Energy Costs being unaffordable
High Costs of Food
Antibiotics unavailable due to mutated strains of disease
A Communist Regime
A Socialist Regime....FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION! (ok....I added this one to the list)

Oh and this is my favorite:
Obama being re-elected

If you think you are prepared for any one of these things, I bet you are not....
These people have been preparing for years! I am way to late to the party! My family is going
to be the ones who need some help! I have nothing remotely close to such disasters!
Michael wonders how he will sleep tonight after watching the "Doomsday Prepper" Marathon today!
I told him, he could sleep with his "bug out" Backpack by his bed tonight after he says his prayers! lol

Quote for the day from a prepper!

"I don't believe it will be the end of the world.
Only the end of the world, for those people who aren't prepared"....

Good point!





My latest Book Find, Catching Fire!



This trilogy is awesome! I'm on to the final book in the series, Mockingjay.

C'est La Vie

Hockey season is officially over for both my boys!



Michael's Team Gift


I still have the feeling all the time that I am suppose to be taking the boys to the rink everyday
and haven't quite gotten use to the idea that we have nowhere to go!
But, the break doesn't last long. The boys start a clinic in Everett the first week in April.
Every Wednesday for 12 weeks.
Power-skating for 1 1/2 hrs, 15 min. break, then passing, shooting & stick-handling skills for 1 1/2 hrs.
Good thing I have another parent doing it with us, so with carpooling, I only have to drive to Everett every other week. It's not that far via Kingston ferry. It just sounds like forever away.

The good news is Brooklyn Brother's Pizza!!!
Yes in Everett, Washington, they have the best pizza in all of Washington.
I haven't had pizza this good since I left Boston!!!



You can even buy Pizza by the slice. So while my boys are hustling on the ice during powerskating, I will be putting on a few calories eating the best pizza!

So! C'est la Vie.....yep this is the life.....Hockey never really ends!

Teletubbie Poop

I had my hubby make this cookie for Michael's end of the year hockey party. Yummy! Carl made extras for us to try and make sure they weren't posion before we sent them off for all the Kitsap County Peewee Hockey team. They were delicious and interesting to look at....

Pray: I close my eyes and I can see a better day...

I just can't sleep tonight
Knowing that things ain't right
It's in the papers, it's on the TV
It's everywhere that I go
Children are crying
Soldiers are dying
Some people don't have a home

But I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that pain
Can you tell me how I can make a change?

I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray

Pray: by Justin Beiber

Such a simple song and yet so powerful to me.
It has power because of the times we live in today. There was a time in this country when the only songs people knew were church hymns. People didn't need a song to remind them to pray. Justin Beiber, a young man, sings a song about prayer when so many people in our world are trying to ignore God or deny the existence of our Heavenly Father. I commend him for having the courage to even sing a song about prayer to mainstream media and mainstream radio. Such a great young man. (Quite honestly I don't actually know ONE thing about this man) But becuase of this song that he sings, I know he believes in our Father in Heaven and I know he believes in Prayer. To me, that says enough. I don't need to know anything else about his character. He proves his good standards by his actions and words.
If we all close our eyes and pray, we can see a better day. The Lord will make it so.

Today in my Stake Conference, Pesident Mikel Anderson asked us to dedicate our next Fast Sunday, March 25, to our community. He asked us to pray and fast for our families, our neighbors and all the members of our community. Help keep us safe from harm. I believe this is an awesome way to show our faith to our Heavenly Father that we put our trust and faith in Him and we believe that
we can see a better day!

Hmmmm....Interesting History


JFK addressing Church members in Salt Lake City, Sept 1963, just before his assassination.


"Here I Raise My Ebenezer"

I love Emily Freeman. She is an author that I have seen a few times speak. She has an awesome blog on a Daily Scripture Readings. I love to hear her perspective. And I love that she is a busy mom who is able to find the time to not only do her daily scripture readings, but has the time to blog about it!

Some Recent Book Reviews from me!



I am becoming quite the reader now that I don't play on Facebook anymore!

Not real until it's real....

You know how things aren't really real until you actually have it in your hands????
That's how I felt about General Conference this spring. I had decide about a week before General Conference in October that I wanted to go. At this late point, the Stake President said he had 2 tickets left for one session only. Well we needed 4 tickets. He said, you could always go and stand in line....I have seen that line....no I couldn't do that! That line starts at the Conference Center and extends all the way across Temple Square and starts to curve at the mall down the sidewalk....
No....I could not do that line. But my instistance on actually having tickets for Conference, meant I got on the list for tickets for Spring Conference early.
So I got tickets for Saturday and Sunday this Spring. So excited....but it didn't feel real until I had the actual tickets in my hand. Even an email from the Stake Executive Secretary saying he had the tickets for me wasn't real. Only now that I have the tickets in my hand, does it finally seem real.
Now I am really excited!
The last General Conference I went to was in October 2007. It was the last General Conference President Hinckley would ever preside over. I knew it would be his last. I told my husband if we don't go to Conference, I will never see him in person. I was right, he died before the next General Conference in Spring, at the age of 98.
I was working in Boston at the time. I flew in on the red-eye to Salt Lake. My husband and the boys drove down from our house in Montana. They picked me up at 3am from the airport. We stayed in American Fork at Carl's parent's house. By 8am we were back in Salt Lake looking for parking. We had tickets for all four of us and 4 additional tickets. We asked for 4 and we got 8. It was the last tickets our Stake President had and gave them all to us. He just asked that we made sure they got used. Apparently your Stake gets tickets based on how many are used in the past. If your Stake doesn't use the tickets then they go to other Stakes that do use them.
It was so awesome. I had only been a member of the church for a year. I had started going to church in July of 2006. Baptised in October of 2006. So one year later, October of 2007, I was at Conference seeing my President. Your first President has to be your favorite, right? He was my favorite! (Then I read Thomas S. Monson's biography and of coarse that changed my mind. Now they are both my favorite). But Gordon B. Hinckley will always be my first President. He will always be my boys' first president too!


He left such a legacy behind him, that all future generations will know how great he was! However, greatness isn't what he wanted to be remembered for. He only wanted all the glory to go to the Lord. His life of service was all in the service to the Lord. These wonderful men that the Lord calls, do not just wake up one day and become President. They spend a lifetime dedicating their lives to the Lord.
Here is some memories from my last Conference experience.

Yes, I said I took the red-eye out of Boston, with 3 hour time difference all not on my side! I was a zombie!

Clayton checking things out!

Michael checking things out too!


Me and Michael, he was 9....


Here was the group we took along. Heber, Beverly, David, Michael, Clayton, Carl and Cameron, David's step son. Cameron had just gotten home from serving a Mission in Spanish Speaking Oakland.
Heber and Beverly. This was the first time they had ever been to Conference in their entire life! People who actually live in Utah, do not get tickets like people who don't live in Utah. Ironic huh? The people who live there don't really get to go unless they endure the hard, long line. For my in-laws at their age, lines aren't in their agenda.



Carl and David and Michael peeking out!

Me and the boys in the Conference Center


Michael he was so excited he must have had to pee!!! haha....
no really....he was cold!

Clayton! He was 8. He thought this Conference thing was way cool!

Ever wonder why during that first session of Conference people were laughing. Apparently it was not shown on television. But if you were in the Conference Center you would have seen what we saw.


This was President Hinckley "knighting" Elder Eyring. Elder Eyring was called to the First Presidency after the death of President Faust. It was so cute. The whole Conference Center burst out in laughter. So now you know what the laughter was all about, in case you ever wondered...

President Hinckley


In loving Memory
