Mountain Juice and Presidents

So Doug went to the grocery store the other day and bought some Mountain Dew. When Drew got in the fridge he said, "Mom, can I have some Mountain Juice???". It's funny that he thought that's what it's called.
Also, as he has been watching us wrap presents, he says things like, "Are those presidents for me?" and, "Is Santa going to bring me some presidents?". He is silly. Just thought I'd share.....

Not so "thanks" giving.

Well, everyone else is writing about it so I thought I would put in my view on our, let's say, "eventful" Thanksgiving. In response to other things that have been said, here is where I stand...
I think I am harder on my family because I care about them. I want the best for them and a lot of the time I expect them to be better than they are because they know better. I am feeling very anxious about the state of the world these days and have a real sense of urgency about everyone in our family's spiritual well-being. It is nothing to take lightly or to put off for another day. I feel like I am the only one in this family who puts importance on church attendance, service and obeying commandments. I know we all have weaknesses and make mistakes, it is a part of life. Everyone knows I am at the top of the sinners list, but I am trying, and it hurts that nobody else seems to care. It just kills me because I know each and every one of our family members has a testimony whether they know it or not, and some still continue to make unwise choices for their lives. I am literally afraid of where we will stand in the last day and I don't want to be without any one of you when this life is over. Losing even one would hurt more than anything. Now is the time to be better, to become stronger, to decide who's side we are on and to live like we actually want to be together forever. So, I'm sorry if it is hard to hear, but that is how I feel. I just hope you all know how much I love and value each one of you.
