I stole this too.

This cannot be happening. Someone, hurry--pinch me. Seriously, I have been hysterical ever since I heard of this scandal. Obama may not even be "eligible" for the presidency, because as of today, he still is unable to prove that he is a "natural-born citizen" of the United States of America. The constitution says that a candidate for president not only has to be at least 35 years old, but he or she has to be A CITIZEN of the UNITED STATES! DUHHH! I'm freaking out, and you will too once you watch this interview with PA attorney and life-long democrat (who's suing Obama over this)...

Here's another one that proves his "Certification of Birth" has been tampered with:

What do we DO!? How is this not in the news all over the place?! This guy might take over our country, and he's not even eligible, under the constitution, to do so?! This is madness, people! Madness!!!

I've already emailed every talk radio and FoxNews program (no point in sending it to the rest of the Obama-mania-media) I can get an email address for. You all should, too! We've got to bring this "October Surprise" to the forefront, and we've got to do it quick!

NO Socialism! NO NON-citizens violating the US constitution and taking over our this great country! NOBAMA! Only six days to go...

Brimhall Ward's 2008 Golf Tournement/fundraiser

We has such a blast playing in this years best ball tourney. I played worse than Brad, who has very little swinging experience. Lucky for us Mom was Tiger woods this past weekend so we got to drop at her drives, puts, and chips. It was a beautiful day.

This was Dads shot.
Brad, is saying he loves golf!

Breakfast at Grandpas, Yes they were the real Sour Dough kind, with Maple syrup!

Gramps has me cute his hair about every two weeks. He pays... really great.

I love Family traditions.

We ate pizza, carved pumkins and had a great time watching brookie get so excited chewing on pumkin rind, and watching the faces move with the candles.


This is my pumpkin! Awsome!
I think I have at least a hundred pix of Ray and this face. People will start thinking its her real face soon.

Happy Halloween, Pumkin carving tradition!

THis is Brookies first Halloween. She was so funny, she would screech and laugh and talk at the pumpkins, the skulls pumpkin was her favorite!
My handsome husband, this is the first time with a patterned pumpin carving. He did a great job!
We voted today, I love pumpkin carving.
I made this. I wish that it was hotter. Its suppose to be a pumpkin except people ate chunks out before I took a pix.

Moments when it's okay to say Shoot!

For our peeps up in Utah wearing coats and freezing!

For our family night this past week( yes! we have FHE!) The Bowles and a few friends in the ward went to the lake to do some boarding and enjoy a perfect 97 degree day.

I love this shirt. Brad bought it in ID on our Yellowstone adventure, and we so excited to wear it in the park, only to realize that yes! it had NO sleeves. Haha. He was just so thrilled to wear this awsome redneck Harley shirt to the lake!

Ray and Brad. Cute in their avaitors.

Love it!

Placemat Purse or Scripture Case

by: Wokay54 from our HFPE Group

Materials Needed:

1 placemat
1 pair of handles (I found mine at Wal-Mart craft department)
fabric, ribbon and trim to embellish

Step 1:

Embellish the front of your placemat on the right side of the placemat. You'll be able to tell the right side as either the side with no care tag or the side that the ends are not hemmed toward. Since the bottom of your bag will be 3" deep, stay within the top 7 1/2" inches of the placemat. Otherwise, you could lose some of your embellishment when you sew up the purse. Also, don't forget you'll be using a 1/2" seam allowance on the sides. Let your creativity go nuts on this part. If you have an embroidery machine, you can really create some fun patterns. Otherwise, sew on ribbons, buttons, jewels, or fabric appliqués.

Step 2:

Fold placemat in half with right sides together. After you fold the placemat, you should not see your embellishment.

Step 3:

Stitch 1/2" from edges on both sides. Make sure you backstitch (hit reverse on your machine) at the top and the bottom.

Step 4:

This forms the bottom of the purse. Take one side seam you just sewed and place it on top with the top of the bag toward you (the bag is shown upside down). Force the bag to flatten with the bottom of the seam forming the top of the triangle. Stitch across the triangle as shown, 1 1/2" from the point of the triangle, which will make a 3" stitch. Again, make sure you backstitch. It's too difficult to open up the seam allowance, so just turn the seam allowance to one side or the other. Do the same on the other seam.

Step 5:

Turn bag right side out. Your bag is now basically together except for handles and closure. Measure across the top of your bag to find the center and attach your closures and handles or attachments accordingly. For instance, if your handle needs to attach 5" apart, measure 2 1/2" from the center on each side.

Ideas for handles:

If you would like to change out the handles on the purse, attach them with some sort of a tie (either ribbon or fabric). Just make sure the holes on the handles are the same distance apart. Then you can change the color or shape of the handles as you desire.

If you want to just buy one set of handles, you can move them from bag to bag as you desire. If the handle has removable hardware, you can sew double-folded tabs on the bag and remove the hardware to change handles.
You can also use ribbon or cotton webbing as handles. A shoulder strap needs to be about 26" long, while a handle for hand-holding can be as little as 8" long. Don't forget you can embellish the cotton webbing with striped or jacquard ribbon.

Construction Ideas:

Experiment with different constructions- make the bottom narrower or wider which will make your purse slightly taller or shorter, respectively.

You can also sew the purse up on the outside, so seam allowance is showing. You can then sew a piece of bias tape or ribbon to the seam for embellishment.

Weezer duet. Watch the big screen. Pretty sweet!

Weezer and Angel and Airwaves concert

These are a bunch of weezer fans from the valley that all learned a few songs and then played along with the group. It was fun and so crazy to watch a kid on the sax, and french horn jam out to " If you want to destory my sweater"! We had a great time, and we both love going to these concerts.

Az State Fair

Brad took me to see a Weezer concert at the AZ state fair this past weekend. It was at the collism and we had a blast. Weezer turned out to be great performers and it was so fun to see them tie in a local group of young musicans who were able to get on stage and perform some of the weezer favorites. Every instrument ever made was on that stage and everyone had a great time.
Remember I had worked all day doing hair, then shoveled in the garden for a couple hours, and then had no time to get ready... all so that we could sit in fair traffic for an hour and walk a mile to actually get into the actual fair itself. It was a super busy day.

All I wanted was a HUGE turkey leg. It was good, but this picture is not so ood.

The end of the word is coming. Might as well get prepared.

Brad spent all day out in the sun so we could prepare to plant a massive sized garden. If anyone is interested in getting in on our phelthra of veggies soon to grow, let me know. We need weed pickers and some other odd end jobs. This garden is going to be alot of work but I think it will come in handy as the world ends here. Uncle Brent has helped with the strait rows, and all the Killian/Olsens/Bowles have put in some kind of effort to help this garden grow.

Happy 28th Birthday Husband.

Brad loves the outdoors. His birthday was this past thursday, so on top of going out to Red Robin with my family, and getting a whole slew of money in the mail from UT, what he wanted to do was go out to the desert and go shooting. I got Brad a NEW gun... becuase the other dozen he has i guess are not enough?! But it is a riffle and he loves it, and it is the least I could do considering he took me to Mesqite for my birthday. We went with Brad and Raylene and brookie and had a great time out in Sycamore creek. We rosted hotdogs on our trusty grill and had a fire and shot a ton of guns. Happy Birthday Husband. I love you.
