Canning Machine!

So last weekend my mom and I spent our Saturday...canning! Its about that time of year right? Except we weren't canning the usual fruit, veggies, etc. We canned bread! Yep you can can bread :) We also canned hamburger, taco meat, and stew meat. All ready to go into yummy dishes! And yes we tried them to make sure they were good...and they were awesome! The bread we made was Zuchinni bread--12 batches to be exact. One was chocolate with chips, another with pecans and chips, another was walnuts and raisins, and finally one just plain. I swear we had like 30 bottles of bread! It was an adventure, but they turned out great after the 1st 2 batches. And what is awesome...is bread/cake/brownies all last up to 10 years and are still moist and yummy! I just can't wait to try white and wheat breads :)

Do "we" still think he's wonderful?...Frankly I'm disgusted!

"Please read this https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml This is a link to find out who your Congressman is to let them know you do not want the Health Care Bill to pass. If you don't know why you don't want it-- I'll fill you in!

This letter was written by a physician in Indiana, who is an anesthesiologist. His friend went through the Health Care bill line by line to understand the huge danger this poses to all Americans as individuals and as a nation. I thought you might like to see the truth of what this administration intends when the candidate for president stated that he intended to fundamentally change America. Having lived in the UK for the last 12 years, I can tell you this form of socialism only excises in the minds of the blind.

Senator Bayh,

As a practicing physician I have major concerns with the healthcare bill before Congress. I actually have read the bill and am shocked by the brazenness of the government's proposed involvement in the patient physician relationship. The very idea that the government will dictate and ration patient care is dangerous and certainly not helpful in designing a healthcare system that works for all. Every physician I work with agrees that we need to fix our healthcare system, but the proposed bills currently making their way through congress will be a disaster if passed.

I ask you respectfully and as a patriotic American to look at the following troubling lines that I have read in the bill. You cannot possibly believe that these proposals are in the best interests of the country and our fellow citizens.

Senator, I guarantee that I personally will do everything possible to inform patients and my fellow physicians about the dangers of the proposed bills you and your colleagues are debating. Furthermore, If you vote for a bill that enforces socialized medicine on the country and destroys the doctor/patient relationship, I will do everything in my power to make sure you lose your job in the next election.

Respectfully,

Stephen E Fraser MD"


Can you say Hitler? This is REALLY scary! Please STAND UPand have a voice NOW while it counts!

Relay for LIFE

Well this weekend I participated in Relay for LIFE with my WELLING family. We had a BLAST and I didn't sleep a wink. Here are some pictures...
This is the SURVIVOR walk. Aunt Jill was in the front waving! What an amazing woman. She battle cancer and is now in remission! We love you Jill!

This is Grandpa Welling and our adopted aunt Judy :)

Next was the Luminaries....little bags with names of people who have had cancer.....

This last bag was for a close friend. She was my Young Women's Leader when I was in High School. But she was more than that...she was like a mother to me. She had six awesome sons! but she said I was always the daughter she never had. I saw her just days before the cancer took her life and am so glad that she let me be a part of her life. Not a day passes that I don't remember a lesson she taught or the example of her faith in all trials. I made the bag for her so that maybe one other person who knew her could remember this remarkable woman.

And to end the post we have our soooo sleepy kids....

Happy, Crazy 4th of July!

So the FOURTH of July for us is CRAZY madness! We hit 3 rodeos in 24 HOURS. Friday night was EVANSTON! He made a GOOD effort but no score...he hurt his shoulder SOMEHOW...hmmm. Then we relaxed Saturday morning in PREP for the rest of the day. At 2:00 we were in WOODRUFF...and again no luck. Then we hit the ROAD...again for TOOELE. We got lost---SHOCKING knowing us! but we eventually found it. The arena was huge!!!!!!!!!! and PACKED! The grand enrty was neat; there were FLAGS from every branch of the armed forces, and their grand marshall was a SALUTE to a fellow that was on the committe but had recently died. I felt so PROUD standing there with my hand over my HEART and thanking Heavenly FATHER for the great blessings I have to enjoy this LAND, freedoms, and LIBERTIES. One sour spot was that during this all....this family was just SITTING there!!!!!!!!!! I was soooo MAD...but I guess that is another EXAMPLE of this great country that gives them the LIBERTY to do that. AFTER that rodeo, we headed back up to EVANSTON for some late night FIREWORKS! I missed the really GOOD stuff but it was great to see FAMILY and enjoy some TIME together. HERE are some recent PHOTOS and VIDEOS of Dusty's rodeos.

MORGAN is on the top and EVANSTON is on the bottom (A couple weeks AGO)

Funny STORY about the video on the BOTTOM...it scared the BEGEEBERZ out of me. I was SHAKING for a while after he RODE. Then that NIGHT when he was watching it again, and AGAIN, and AGAIN...I couldn't stop laughing! His FLIP is incredible! haha...he didn't appreciate the LAUGHTER but I think its HILARIOUS!

Now the 4th of July Rodeos!!! Drum ROLL ............

We have EVANSTON, Woodruff and then Tooele...yea for AMERICA!

What Time is it?...Rodeo Time!!

Thats right! We have officially began our rodeo summer. Despite what most wives think of their husbands rodeoing...I LOVE IT! Crazy I know, but I love hitting the road with my man and doing what he loves to do. It is our little get away from the pressures of life. So far this year he has done well! Keep your fingers crossed that the big money will start rolling our way :) Dusty rode the full 8 seconds, but missed his mark out in Evanston, WY on Saturday night. I was way proud of him! Getting ready behind the chutes Jason and Dusty showing off their buckles and Finally...Dusty's ride...hope it works!

Fun, Fun week!

This week my in-laws came down from Canada. I drove down to roosevelt on Tuesday and stayed all week. I loved every minute of it. It was so fun to spend time with my cute nieces, that I had only met once...on our wedding day. Regardless to say, we didn't get to know each other very well in all the confusion. So it was nice to chill, and hang out with family all week.
Here are some pictures of my nieces and nephew...

Kahlie and Brinlee being silly monsters


McClain chilling in the car



And London being pacified by some gummy worms.



Thanks Dusty for bringing me into this awesome family! I couldn't ask for a better addition to my family! Love you guys!

Happy Birthday Tay!

I wanted to wish my little sister a happy birthday! We went to her fun party tonight and had good food and visited with family and friends. It seems so crazy that she is already 12! She is sooo excited to go to YW's on Sunday! Can you blame her? Young Women's was the high light of my teen age years. It is so influential and critical to your spiritual growth and builds a strong foundation for the rest of your life. I'm very proud of her and the young lady she is becoming and know she will have a great time during this period of her life! Happy Birthday Sis!
