Think he needs a haircut?

I think he does. I dont know about all this... boys and their needing haircuts every 4-6 weeks crap! LOL. But really... i think its about time I take him for his 2nd hair cut. He is
beginning to look like Marge Simpson.

4 months, 9 days, and some odd hours...

We had the Honda. Thats pathetic. LOL We went out and bought ANOTHER Toyota. Cant stay away from them, I guess. We loooooved the car... but with #4 on the way...and these dang laws about buckeling up ALL your kids... we had to get a bigger vehichle. After DAYS, and I do mean DAYS on the phone with multiple dealers... traveling to multiple dealers, we are now back to being a family of only Toyota's.
Ive never really been excited about a car. But this one I am. Its cool. LOL I feel cool in it. LOL And the kids looooooooove it! There's 7 seats...and that was kinda difficult to find. This one hadnt even been put on the lot yet. But I do feel like Im driving a tank. Ill get used to it. And the gas mileage is nothing like the car...but what do you do when you need the seats.

Thats the actual picture of ours...but the inside pic isnt. We didnt get all that fancy leather stuff. But you get the idea of what it looks like inside.

I belong

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland in speaking of the divinity of The Book of Mormon said: For 179 years this book has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstructed, targeted and torn apart like perhaps no other book in modern religious history—perhaps like no other book in any religious history. And still it stands. Failed theories about its origins have been born and parroted and have died—from Ethan Smith to Solomon Spaulding to deranged paranoid to cunning genius. None of these frankly pathetic answers for this book has ever withstood examination because there is no other answer than the one Joseph gave as its young unlearned translator. In this I stand with my own great-grandfather, who said simply enough, “No wicked man could write such a book as this; and no good man would write it, unless it were true and he were commanded of God to do so.” I testify that one cannot come to full faith in this latter-day work—and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these, our times—until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it testifies. I ask that my testimony of the Book of Mormon and all that it implies, given today under my own oath and office, be recorded by men on earth and angels in heaven. I hope I have a few years left in my “last days,” but whether I do or do not, I want it absolutely clear when I stand before the judgment bar of God that I declared to the world, in the most straightforward language I could summon, that the Book of Mormon is true, that it came forth the way Joseph said it came forth and was given to bring happiness and hope to the faithful in the travail of the latter days.
