Our Thanksgiving Break

2010-12-05T14:20:00.000-08:00

Duke caught up on a little sleep.

Roscoe waiting to pounce on the unlucky sucker who knocks on the door

On our way to the REX in Rexburg. I had to beg these guys to play. Now that's just sad.....

I remember bowling with my family years ago. Me, Mandy, Dallan, Zane and Cole up to Ricks College. That was so much fun. I miss those days when all I cared about was how my butt looked when I bent over. Now it's bills, a crapy economy, bills, and oh did I mention, BILLS?

Body Scanners

2010-11-22T16:40:00.000-08:00

Ok friends and family. I can't hold still any longer. I've got to voice it somewhere, somehow. And I know, I could really bring up a stir between family members, but that's ok. I'm taking a stand.

And I'm not flying. Here's why.

first of all, WHAT IDIOT is going to pack a gun?

Come ON!

Do you have any naked pictures of your mother? No, want some? The TSA has some!”

I can’t believe people are standing for this. Now with the latest attempted terrorist attack of the “Fruit Of The BOOM” bomber they are trying to rush through the installation of these airport body scanners. These scanner are nothing more than mobile porn studios for the perverts at the TSA.

Here are some excerpts of an article here from the Daily Mail that describes what the full body scanners will be able to see.

New ‘strip search’ full body scanners being trialled in Australia will show people’s private parts, officials have admitted.

The X-ray backscatter body scanner has been described by critics as a “virtual strip search.”

Cheryl Johnson, general manager of the Office of Transport Security, said:’ It will show the private parts of people, but what we’ve decided is that we’re not going to blur those out, because it severely limits the detection capabilities. ‘

‘It is possible to see genitals and breasts while they’re going through the machine, though,’ she admitted

“It does see through clothing, but it’s not a photographic image, it’s a low-energy X-ray that reflects off the skin,” added Ms Johnson.

Oh really, is not a photographic image? OK, let’s do a little experiment. What we have done here is take a blurred out sample released by the press, not the high resolution pics these scanners actually take and just simply inverted the photograph
I think the picture speaks for itself. Remember this is with a blurred image, not the high res scan these machines actually take.

According to Cheryl Johnson,’The images are not saved, you literally walk through, the screener hits a button to say clear and the image goes.”

Oh really, the TSA agent has to push a button to clear it huh? Yeah, OK. That will happen I am sure.

What do you think one of these photos of Angelina Jolie or any other celebrity would go for on the market. You think these TSA agents will all be able to resist the temptation to make a few bucks?

Let’s face it, these people are not the brightest of the bunch. We have all seen them strip searching granny while a guy with a turban and sandals gets waved right through.

Here is another thing to think about. Does this count as child pornography? Would you let your child go through this scanner and have some pervert pedophile TSA agent viewing them and drooling on his keyboard?

There are so many ways to go with this. I read a story recently that parents were not allowed to bring cameras or take photos of their children at school sporting events to protect against pedophiles, but if it’s the government taking naked pictures of your kids, that’s alright?

http://www.anonymoushints.com/tag/airport-security-scanners/

I don't trust any of these people to "Delete" the pictures. Can you imagine a New Bureau the government will have to create to make the the people viewing the images "Safe to View?"

I'm sorry Mandy and Zane. I won't fly until I'm treated like an American, and NOT a terrorist. And yes, there are better ways.
What's next? Body Cavity Searches?
Let's take the scenario to the streets. How bout you just pull me over and feel me up and down whenever you feel like it while on patrol- so we can keep the streets free from car bombers? when will it stop?
Don't put it too far away. It may come.

I adore this swimming tankini!! How the bright pink and zebra are perfect for eachother!!! To die for!!! Everyone who bought this would be wanting to go swimming everyday!!!!

I love this swimming suit!! How the different desgines and then my all time favorite color. Blue!! And to add flavor they put in ruffles and the top.

2010-02-03T05:00:00.000-08:00

I am thinking about geting this either for my birthday or just in the next few months or so. I love how it is feedom. How its bright and fun and can fit all diferent seasons. Especially: Valentines day, Christmas, and summer + spring. These all = FABULISE!!!Oh and that name would be Rilee

Favorite Fashions by Rilee

2010-02-01T05:00:00.000-08:00

I adore this coat! I would wear this coat: to school, to church, the store, and to my freinds house. If I was the designer of this coat I would probably make it in dark colors, such as navy blue and light colors such a baby pink. But also a splash of bright with the dark color. Like bright pink buttons, or the thread neon orange.

Super duper cute jeans. But sometimes they make the legs look to big for the body. I chose this becouse I like how they fit her legs. They don't make her look to big or to skinny.

These boots are to die for. But, they should make them in teal blue. I love that color and I have heard that other people do to. They need to make them more attractive. But don't get me wrong they are!! But different colors i think would attract more poeple.

This ring is classy yet funky. I would wear this all over town!! People could think that it could be too big but they just need to see it on the model.

Cookie-Dough... (says Kyler) I mean Playdough

Maid for Hire...

2010-01-25T20:00:00.000-08:00

The photos are all jumbled up but here goes....

Maddies 13. Still.

Kyler insisted on wearing Maddies purple tights

Kyler opens the tights.

He thinks it's his birthday

"How come I don't get as many presents?"

The most disgusting fruit pie ever bought at Broulims. I didn't have any but the general conscensus was it is awful. I want my 15 bucks back!

It looked pretty.

Ski Buddies

2010-01-24T14:57:00.000-08:00

I'd have to say Kimball has some nice friends, and they happen to ski a lot.
Like 2 days a week. That's a lot to me!

Shade, Keegan, Spencer and Kimball

ski targhee

2010-01-24T14:15:00.000-08:00

Ski pass to Targhee.....$1250.00

Ski Clothing, Skiis at the Ski Swap.....$1200.00

Time together.....Priceless. (Or so I try to remind myself)

Everyone had a great time except Kyler. He cried. And cried. And finally, after Jason Webster took Kyler down and made him do it himself, he's loved it ever since. That's what friends are for, because dad's can't do it because they're just dad.

Join us at Targhee every weekend!

He is so excited to see the grandparents-open presents-and most of all, eat cake and get the snowmabile off the cake!
Posing infront of the camera. Say cheese. And this is what kyler does in front of the camera-sometimes!

Krazy Kimball

Kimball built this- "ramp" with his buddies in my backyard. I'm such a nice mom.

And here we have Krazy Chad

Last year at this time

2009-07-03T16:41:00.000-07:00

Last year at this time, Mandy and GG were over all the time.

GG loved the neighbors airplane and Rilee would take the kids to play for a little while while Mandy and I visited in the shade of the tree. I really enjoyed getting to know GG and I miss her terribly.

Miss cutie Pie!

Happy Birthday Kyler

2009-07-02T06:00:00.000-07:00

For those of you who know me realllllllly well, you won't be surprised that I am documenting Kylers 3 birthday from last December.

That's right. Laugh all you want.

I promise to do better. I thought it interesting how Kyler has grown so much from then until

now.

Nothing like my guys!

2009-07-01T06:00:00.000-07:00

Ohhhh how cute. 3 little men all ready for Church

Good Morning!

2009-06-30T06:00:00.000-07:00

Rilee and I decided to walk every morning together, and we began in January- the coldest month. Ever.

We walk, jog, or run with Duke (and his shock collar) around the block early in the morning. It's not too bad if you dress up really warm. Now we are training to climb the Tetons in August.

Morning Rituals

2009-06-29T06:00:00.000-07:00

Almost too big for the sink but still a favorite for Kyler is the kitchen sink. He drinks too much at night which makes him wet the bed and smell terrible in the morning. This also gives me about 15 minutes to work as fast as I can in my studio.

Soul Sisters and Sleeping Bags

2009-06-20T06:00:00.000-07:00

Watching these girls reminds me so much of Mandy and I. The late night giggle attacks, the fighting, and the nonsharing of clothes. It all drives me insane. Here's a new one.

Madison sneeking into Rilee's sleeping bag and tutting - what a rude awakening for poor Rilee.When you're camping, anything goes!

Aquatic Center and little fishies

2009-06-19T06:00:00.000-07:00

Kyler, Madison and Rilee enjoyed the cold water at the Aquatic Center in Idaho Falls

. I don't care for the way it's set up, and Kyler really can't go anywhere, but the slide and high dive make up some of the difference.

Sure wish Rexburg had some water to dip in.....

Guns and Ammo Man

2009-06-18T06:00:00.000-07:00

Chad loves his guns. And he has several. One day he decided to clean them, and as I worked on the laptop across the table, the smell reminded me of my own dad cleaning his guns on the table.

It has a sort of sweet, diesel gas smell. I like it.

Duke, the Royal Pain

2009-06-17T06:00:00.000-07:00

Duke, or as we lovingly refer to him as "DukeeeeeeEEEEE" loves Kylers' old Binkies. Yep. Always has. This was the very last one in the house. Actually, there's one more in the closet upstairs I'd like to put in Kylers baby things. Lots of memories about those binkies.

Grandparents and Gaggling Granchildren

2009-06-16T06:00:00.000-07:00

These were taken a few weeks ago when Grandma and Grandpa Wright visited. Taking pictures is such sport.

It's always so great to see them. The kids make quite a bit of noise, but that's alright.

I don't know if Grandpa or Grandma hear much of it.
