Save Tracey Aviery and Hogle zoo projects!!

Hey guys and gals :)
First I am so mad at myself for not working on Kyra's dress... i gotta move my tail to get it done...
Poor Glinda... she doesn't feel well.. but its looking like she's feeling better.

I talk about fat content in Cereal cause I was shocked to find out that it was the opposite of what I thought!! Frosted flakes are your friend!! LOL




I also talk about the Prop 1 and prop 2 here in Utah ..
here are the links to learn about the propositions.. there aren't really any opposition, its just up for a vote...
so here are links to more information on them

Prop 1 - Save the Aviary
http://www.savetheaviary.com/

Tracy Aviary is a jewel unlike almost anything in the nation – right here in Salt Lake County.

* One of only two public aviaries in the entire country
* The only public aviary west of the Mississippi
* The oldest and largest public aviary in the nation

But the Aviary has suffered from decades of under-investment. Despite the Aviary’s best efforts, roofs are leaking and infrastructure is crumbling. Due to these problems and uncertain future funding, the Aviary was denied accreditation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums in 2006.

Salt Lake County residents have high standards for their public facilities. Proposition 1 will enable the Aviary to re-emerge as a world-class, AZA-accredited facility with a clear path for continued success.

Prop 2- Add to the zoo
https://www.hoglezoo.org/renew-the-zoo/
The Salt Lake County Council has placed a $33 million bond on the ballot in November. This will cost the average household $0.39/month. The bond will help the Zoo build an Arctic Exhibit with animals like polar bears, seals, and wolves and an African Savanna that could make a home for giraffes, rhinos, and zebras among other things.

thanks so much again
dont forget to comment and all that Jive :)

Kisses and Huggs!!

Kyra and I have been anticipating our favorite day of the year all week :) it its HERE.. Kyra and I LOVE the first snowfall of the season!! we got an amazing 4 inches which is the most perfect depth.. its enough to play in and do snowmen but not enough to get in the way of traffic and such!!
So Kyra and I woke up with the pretty white snow pure as ever!! we went to church and Kyra was a little anxious ants in her pants little one today during Sacrament.. she wanted to get out and play RIGHT NOW.. so once we got home she was allowed to go play :) she kept making these mini snow man the size of your hand it was too cute :)

I cant find my camera ( SO SAD :( :( ) so i had to put it on the V-log...
Also posted on the blog is the Dress Ive been working hard on for Kyra for Halloween :)

FIRE FIRE FIRE!!!





Hello I was woken up bright and early at 4ish this morning... why ??? Watch the movie... I tried getting video/ pictures of the fireman and fire trucks but it was all black (crap) but I put them in anyway ....



Ironically I had a discussion with my friend JUST YESTERDAY about the fact that I sleep well.. O natural... I thought they did too... they said , oh no what if there's a FIRE? I dont want out run out naked!! I laughed and said... hey if it happened to me I would get dresses and run out...
Well I heard a **ding**ding** at around 4 AM **SLAM **SLAM*** SLAMM***... then firemen yelling loudly "GET UP THERES A FIRE IN THE BUILDING.." I jumped out of bed, went to the door in my blanket, Got Kyra up, got dressed, took my laptop and Kyra's baby pictures(cd's much more compact than the scrap books LOL :P) and took off down the stairs .. half way down I realized I didnt have my phone OR my Camera.. DANG IT!!! they wouldn't let me get it ... I remembered I had Kyra's phone in my car in case I needed it... so I put Glinda in the car (cause there were other dogs and cats out there, and glinda likes to play ... and I let her play... just not at 4 AM!!)put my computer and pictures in the car, and got the phone.. I did get a DECENT picture off that phone but I blocked data transfer ***dohhh***
so anyway...
I gather with the other neighbors and we take account of everyone there, my new neighbor across the hall wasn't there, so I let the Firemen know, he HAD come out just went to his truck... :P
anyhoo were all talking about the smoke then we see the fire truck that WAS on lifts, get taken down and see the hose get put away , we all knew .. they got the fire.. but where?? the curiosity killed the cat and I went up to the fire men (yes they were HOT firemen :) yummy!! ) and asked.. they said .. are you in (this apartment) ?? I said no .. then my neighbor downstairs said.. Ohh that's me.... he said I need to take you upstairs and talk with you... I was like DANG she's in trouble!!! I knew she's a smoker ..so I thought that might have been what it was...
we were let back in the house then I grabbed my camera (took those crappy pictures) and then asked the firemen what it was..

The neighbor had a bunch of plants from the summer that had dried up. and she apparently put a cigarette in the plant, and it went up in flames, I guess it took out a tee shirt too and was about to set the patio a-blaze...
we were able to get back to our houses at 5:30 AM and I of course blogged you guys :P
that brings me up to this very moment...

Kisses

Brothers in law ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGG

I'm pissed at them... I have had time to reflect on what they have done... they hurt me, and don't even pretend to care... I am REALLY hurt...
Im not saying what they did but THEY know what they did...
I am not understanding why they think its funny or aim to hurt me!!! I don't care if they thought it was funny.. its NOT FUNNY... its my PAST... keep it in my PAST!!!
