Enzo learned a new word today

A little update

It has been awhile since we updated what has been going on with our family. Some of you knew that Mark had his transfer in to try to get closer to home. We have found out this week that Mark wasnt able to get it. Which is fine. We are putting 100% on the Lord to see what is supposed to happen next. Of course we miss our family and friends, but know that for now we are supposed to be here.
Mark is going to be starting 12 hour shifts next month which is actually kind of exciting. With Marks new schedule he will be working 3 days and then having 4 days off. We have been talking a lot about fun things we will be able to do as a family, and it will also be easier to come and visit up North.
A week ago My mom and Ashley were able to come visit. We had fun shopping, going to the zoo, and watching the kids playing together. Enzo had a lot of fun playing with Isaiah and loved calling after him around the house. I wish I had taken more pictures of them!

Prop 8

Yes On 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.

There is a website iProtectMarriage.com
http://iprotectmarriage.com/facts/
On this website there is a link about a man who was Jailed for demanding to know when his 6 year old son was going to be taught about homosexuality (the state law says the school is to tell the parents)

I read this on Courtneys blog and I just had to post it also! It just shows how important it is that we vote!

IM really frustrated!!

We had a great weekend this last week, and since my computer has all of a sudden stopped working and wont let me post pictures I thought I would just write how much fun we had! For starters Gino and Shannon came up on Friday because it was Gino's birthdy on Sunday and they wanted to come visit! While they were here we enjoyed going out to eat, staying up really late talking, riding the scooter, reading the twilight series(I got Shannon into it and now she cant put it down ether) And just enjoyed each others company! We also were able to go to the Ventura Car show which was a blast too. Seeing Enzo's face everytime he saw a car and loved pointing it out to his dad while saying "Dada Dada" made it worth it!!

Saturday Nana Cosentino, and Anna called and asked if they could come over too so we had fun with them on Sunday an Monday doing some shopping and just enjoying their company. We are so blessed to have family come visit us when Marks schedule makes it kind of hard! Ashley and grandma Sherry are planning on coming next wed so hopefully my computer will be working so I can post some cute pictures!

Something new

Enzo surprised us today by wanting to sit on the little potty next to his sister. Of course he didnt go potty, but everytime he would sit down he would stand right up and start clapping saying yay! It was so cute! Who knows maybe he is ready, but im not going to get my hopes up.

A little behind...

After hearing so many good things about the Stephenie Meyer books I decided to start the first book of the series. Well It was so good, and now I can't wait for the movie in Dec. Im going to get the 2nd book tonight and im sure its going to consume my life yet again!
