I hope they call me on a mission

Last Night we had the Missionaries over for dinner. So this morning Trevor wanted to play Missionary. On his own he went and got a church tie and belt for him and Hunter. Then they took backpacks and filled them full of toys and their own copy of the Book of Mormon. (The backpacks are because our Elders are on bikes so they always have backpacks.) Then Trevor recruited me to be a Missionary too and we went and knocked on doors (our bedroom doors) then Trevor would pretend to go in to someones home and eat dinner and then share a spiritual thought, which he always got his Book of Mormon out for. We continued to do this to every door in our house. They are so cute and this is such a priceless time. Keep up the good work Trevor and I know one day you will be a great Missionary and I probably will be just as touched by your sweet spirit as I was today.

Pumpkin Patch

I know its not Halloween yet, but my boys have their Halloween costumes and they dress up in them daily. Hunter is a Dog and Trevor is a Jedi. Who knew that boys would like dressing up so much too.
The rest of the pictures are from the annual Aragon outing to the pumpkin patch. We had a great time with family kicking off the fall season.



Even Emily and I couldn't resist the pumpkin patch slides.
Good Times!

Prop 8

Six Consequences If Proposition 8 Fails

1. Children in public schools will be taught that both traditional marriage and same-sex marriage are okay.The California Education Code already requires that health education classes instruct children about marriage. (§51890)Therefore, if the definition of marriage is changed, children will be taught that marriage is a relation between any two adults. There will be serious clashes between the secular school system and the right of parents to teach their children their own values and beliefs.
2. Churches will be sued if they refuse to allow same-sex marriage ceremonies in their religious buildings that are open to the public.Ask whether your pastor, priest, minister, bishop, or rabbi is ready to perform such marriages in your chapels and sanctuaries.
3. Religious adoption agencies will be challenged by government agencies to give up their long-held right to place children only in homes with both a mother and a father. Catholic Charities in Boston has already closed its doors because of the legalization of same-sex marriage in Massachusetts.
4. Religions that sponsor private schools and which provide housing for married students will be required to provide housing for same-sex couples, even if it runs counter to church doctrine, or lose tax exemptions and benefits.
5. Ministers who preach against same-sex marriages will be sued for hate speech and could be fined by the government.It has already happened in Canada, one of six countries that have legalized gay marriage.
6. It will cost you money. A change in the definition of marriage will bring a cascade of lawsuits.Even if courts eventually find in favor of a defender of traditional marriage (highly improbable given today's activist judges), think of the money – your money, your church contributions – that will have to be spent on legal fees.And think of all the unintended consequences that we cannot even foresee at this time.
Where will it end?It's your children, your grandchildren, your money, and your liberties.Lets work together to protect them.Join with us in walking precincts and phoning voters to vote Yes on Prop 8.
