Jon has been talking about the Constitution alot and wanting to learn all about it. He has been looking up quotes of some of our founding father and what not. And he has been listening to talk radio and all the crap that is going on in Congress and what not. So that is the new kick.
On Sunday we were read to by the Stake President. How the First Presidency encourages us to learn about the presidential candidates and vote and support that person. So today I received a notice in the mail telling me how to vote and list all the different things to vote for - Federal Races, State races, County races and what not. From this I learned that there are 7 candidates running for president of the Unites States, crazy. I have only heard of Obama and McCain.
So I looked up the person running under the "Constitution Party" (which I had never heard of) and I think his views are alot better than I have heard of Obama and McCain. Anyway his name is Charles O. "Chuck" Baldwin.
But anyways my point is that there are so many options for president and I think it is really important that we follow the counsel we have been given and study out the candidates and support whomever we choose. Our right are slowly being taken away more and more. If we dont start voicing now when we have the chance, that blessing will be taken away.
You can learn about Baldwin at www.baldwin08.com.
Anyways thats all,
love ya

Sariah and the Great Dane
When we were up in Oregon Aug. '08 Sariah got to see and pet a Great Dane. She really liked him. She was laughing and laughing. It was pretty cool.
I want to have a Great Dane someday, they are pretty sweet dogs.
Update on Hollister
So Jon didn't get the job at Hollister. Which I am fine with. I never felt good about it anyway. They said he had to have a Bachelors and they would be happy for him to apply again when he has one.
Jon is still doing good in school. He is doing a good job of making sure he gets all his school work done. One thing we found out though is that Jon put the wrong address for his school books to be sent. Therefore we dont know where they are. So Jon doesn't have his books and has to do all his homework at the college Library. We did happen to get one book and it is the only book he doesn't need. Silly how that works. The book was required for the class or so it said online but he teacher says he never uses it. Go figure.
Sariah is sitting up better and talking alot more. Sariah actually loves sitting up. She get upset sometimes when she is lying down and is happy as can be when I sit her up. She says dadadadad all the time. I Try to get her to say mama but she just says dadada to me. Sometimes I think she is teasing me :p
She loves cantelope and doesn't eat banana and avocado as much anymore because of it. I probably shouldn't have given her such a sweet fruit so early, oh well, nothin I can do now.
I have been looking for a part time job so I can work part time and Jon can work part time and study more. Plus if I want the car I have to take Jon to work and pick him up which is at 9 or 10 at night depending on the day. So if I work part time I would have to take Jon to work less. I have had no luck though. Maybe it isnt the right thing to do.
I would really like to go to school and get some education but I dont know. Hair school would be cool because its a profession I could do in my home. Plus my moms house has a salon in it I could work out of. I just need to find someone to watch Sariah for me.
Well I think that is all for now. I will write again soon.
Love,
Amber

Hollister Job
Here is a lil family pic, we look so glossy because it was so dang hot. This is from August
Today I bought a bunch of canned food from Harmons at the case lot sale. I got Tomato sauce for when we make spaghetti and chili, Tomato paste, Cream of chicken for enchiladas, olives, mac and cheese, and other stuff I cant remember. I saves about $50 so I figure that was worth it, and now I have any tomato stuff I could ever need, well other than fresh of course.
It rained today which was pretty nice, cooler weather is always good.
So Jon interviewed with the Regional Manager and she loved him just like the other manager. The only thing that will stop Jon from having the job is if H.R. decides not to accept his UTI schooling. We should be able to find out in a few days. The job is salary at 28,000 a year and over time for any hrs over 40 a week. The regional manager said the average person makes about 30,000 a year. So that will be really good. We plan on trying to pay off all our debts first thing. Jon gets 2 weeks paid time off plus 3 or 4 personal days, 5 sick days and plus different Emergency time off like a funeral, all paid time off. So tht is really sweet. We get 30% Hollister clothes and 40% Abercrombie clothes. Jon get 50% off his first pair of shorts and two shirts to help build his work clothes. We also get benefits it $23 for first person and $20 for every person after that. Plus they pay 90% on medical so that is really sweet, I dont know about dental. Hopefully we will find out this week if he will get the job or not. Oh and what he will be working is 5 days a week, 10 hr. shift, 1-11p. He can still go to school in the morning and has a couple hrs to do homework also. It seems like it will be a really good job and opportunity. Hollister is also opening stores all over country that we would have ability to transfer to.
Well thats all for now.

Oh Sariah and daddy dressed up in church cloths for family photos. This dress is from Grandma and it is just soooo cute. This picture is from August Sariah was 6months.
This picture is just so funny. Sariah is 4 months old. The flash always made her open her eyes really big.
She did not see anything that was shocking other than the flash even though it looks like she did.
At my Graduation - 5/2/08.
Sariah is about 3 months old
Miss Sariah 2 months old. Her hair always stuck straight up, it was really funny and I could never get it to lay down. This is her pink blanky that she sleeps with every night.
Sariah Rae - how shes grown
Heres Sariah in her blessing dress, on her blessing day - 3/2/08. About a month old.
Here is Sariah just 2 days old sleepin in the boppy. Sariah was born with thick dark hair. Pretty long also for a baby
Here is Sariah just an hr old or so. I held her for a while after she was born so she wasn't weighed right away.
Sariah was 7lbs. 7oz and born at 7:08p.m. on Feb. 4, 2008.
Where she came from. This is a pic just 4 days before Sariah was born. Taken after I came home from work.
More Grand Canyon
Jonny is just so excited. You would think he was on a roller coaster with that look.
Sariah is pretty happy too.
Oh the happy lil family. Plus "Big D" aka "D-licious"
Cant forget him.

The Grand Canyon 8-2-08
LOL this one is the best. She copying my big mouth smile.
These are some of the first pictures we ever got of Sariah smiling. For whatever reason she loved being in that pack with daddy and being at the Grand Canyon.
Or maybe it was because she was able to get out of the
car......who knows
Heres her wrinkly nose and
that big gum smile
Hey so I just started this blog. This is something I have been wanting to do for a while but I haven't. I have been waisting my time on the internet and I decided to finally do it.
So a lil update on the fam. Jon is doing well in school, but he is very busy. He basically wakes up goes to school comes home to eat and make lunch and then goes to work until 9 or 10. We are hoping he get a new job soon at Hollister as "Manager in Training." He in interviewing again, this time with the regional manager. The manager really likes him but the only thing he needs is to have credit hrs. for a Bachelors. They said they would accept his UTI school if the hrs are equivalent. So hopefully that will work out. He wont be working any less but he will be off the roads which is what we are worried about for the winter. PLus he doesnt get much sleep and he is tired while sitting all day.
Sariah is getting sooo big. She is looking different every day it seems. She is not scooting a whole lot but she is standing better. She mostly scoots on her back. She has fallen off the bed a couple times now. She has been a bit whinier lately but I think it is because she is getting another tooth in. Sariah is also talking all the time. She talks like she is saying things matterafactly (if thats a word). She is saying dadada, mamama and bananana. She is still a big pooper just like her daddy, lol.
I am still trying to do Arbonne. Nothing eventful has really gone on with it. I am doing a party in Vegas this next week which will hopefully be successful. I have an open house this Saturday also. But anyways that is all for now. Talk to you later.
Love ya
Amber
