Let's Rodeo!!

Let's Rodeo San Antonio!! About a month ago our friends the Riggs and we went to the San Antonio Rodeo! All of the seats for the concert and rodeo show were sold out except for some $50.00 singles, so we decided we would rather walk the grounds instead.

Here we are at the rodeo!

Christian and I dancing at the Rodeo...Yeah, we're still in love!

Lyndsay's niece sent a paper doll of herself called "Flat Miley" who was supposed to go on some adventures in San Antonio before getting mailed back for a school project. Flat Miley got to ride some old tractors, visit the pigs, and almost got trampled by a cow! It was pretty funny!

Here we are by a really scary cow...actually most of the cows were scary up close. You just never knew what they were going to do next!

We missed the pig races by just a few minutes. These pigs were really cute though!

All in all it was a lot of fun! It reminded me of my Financial Economics teacher, Farrell Jenson, who on the last day of class showed us a tractor pull in the same town Napoleon Dynamite was filmed. I guess he knew some of the characters in the movie and they actually aren't that different in real life!! Anyway, our friends watched Tyson and it was a real date! This picture is in honor of Farrell. Thanks Dr. Jenson!

The Articles of Faith of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
3. We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

A Beautiful Quote

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." Marjorie Pay Hinckley
