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!

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.

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!
