I just don't get it....

I'm telling ya, sometimes I just don't get it. Why must people swear?!?! It really doesn't make you look smarter, and it definitely doesn't make you seem more attractive. And you know what upsets me even more? Is when I ask someone to stop swearing, and they give me an attitude. I mean, obviously I have a reason as to why I asked them to stop. It's against my religion to swear, I don't like to hear it (and I shouldn't have to be subjected to listening to that stuff all day at SCHOOL), it just degrades on my ears, etc. I just don't appreciate it when they swear around me. Now usually, when I ask someone to stop swearing, and then I tell them why, they respect me and they stop. But you know, it's all about that: respect. There's even a song about that. Anyways, getting off track. But you know what's worse then the swearer themself have an attitude? When a girl sitting near by gives you an attitude as well, saying something about how it's "their life, then can do whatever they want to". Well, all I asked for was to just stop around me.

You know what else just baffles my mind? Teen pregnancy. I swear, at least once a week I hear of at least one other girl that either is pregnant, or already has a baby. In high school. Ya, I'm not kidding. But you know, there's always been at least one or two here or there in every high school every year since pretty much the beginning of time. But you know, it's just gotten worse. It's almost like a sport. Which, by the way is just plain ol' sad. I mean, can't you just wait until you're married and do "it" properly, sacredly, meant for when it's suppose to be meant for, and when you're READY?? Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. Then, these girls are allowed to just waltz around school, practically "promoting" their mistake. Seriously?? Take them else-where. It's just wrong.

Also, people these days just get me. Seriously. You never know when a story is true or false. What happened to good ol' honesty?? Is that just so hard to ask for? Just do what everybody else on this planet does, and be HONEST!! It's just sad to what our world has come to now-a-days, laying over everything. Who knows if it's for real. So, therefore it's pretty hard to donate any money to any cause, for fear that it's all a hoax and all that money will go to drugs, or something else, not that cause. Again, just plain sad.

I just don't get it...

I need your help!!!

So, tonight is Light the Night. Light the Night is where we all go down Rushton Way and walk to promote cancer research. We all have balloons that light up, and we literally light the night. Ahead of time, we all go out and raise money. ALL of the money goes toward cancer research. Here's where you come in. I need as much money as i can possibly muster. I STRONGLEY believe in cancer research, since so many people close to me, including me, have either had cancer, or has passed away because of cancer. WE NEED A CURE!!!!! None of this would happen if we had a cure. Please help, it is very much appreciated. Just go here, and you can donate as much or as little as you want:

So, about a week or two ago, I again had Aleecya. Since it was a nice day, I took Aleecya to a new park down the road from me. I had fun reliving my park days, and Aleecya had fun running around. Here, I'm just going to post some new pictures of Aleecya, some of the park, some from the house, and random places. Enjoy!!

Fair Warning!!!!

A family friend's horse stable "label"

As you can tell, Aleecya HATED the firetruck. NO idea why....

Me on the ride. See how I'm clutching the side? Ya, it was intense...

Me, happy as can be before the ride started...

The baby pig's. So cute. According to Aleecya, they "tink"

At the beginning of August, we had the opportunity to go to a little fair at a local park. This year, we brought my sister's friend, Brianne, and I had Aleecya for the day, so naturally she went along for the ride. This year, we were hoping that Aleecya would be tall enough to ride a ride. Come to find out, 1/4 of an inch too short is not ok. So, therefore she couldn't ride, and since I already had tickets, I went ahead and rode a ride. I had never really rode a ride at a fair before, until this month. So, that was a new experience for me. All-in-all, we all had a good time.

Utah '09!! Part 3

On this particular day, I was just watching the kids all day, so nothing too special. We basically just hung out around the house all day. At the end of the day, we went outside and played around. It was just a fun, relaxing day.

I don't really have a caption for this, but I just think that it's hilarious...

Lion, and Tigers, and Bears......OH MY!!

So, a week ago, I had Aleecya over. She came over early Sunday morning, and left REALLY late Monday night. On Monday, we decided to do something productive and go to the zoo. This would be Aleecya's 2nd time at the zoo. She loved it. We saw LOTS of animals, found out that the Baluga Whales are gone and replaced by some kind of seal things (LAME!!), learned that Aleecya is terrified of owls and all birds alike, rode the carousel 4 times (they were free), and we even managed to catch a show. All-in-all, we had a GREAT time!! (and yes, if you can see, Aleecya's hair is in a star. Thank you, I did that. =])

A cute picture that I just can't pass up....

Another cute picture that I just can't not post

OH NO!! We're getting eaten!! Just kidding, obviously. It's something we always do. =]
