On my soapbox...

Okay, well the more I hear about this, the more outraged I become. I find it absolutely reprehensible that Utah, along with other states, are allowing parents to intimidate and threaten the school districts so my child can't watch our President speak on education. God forbid we actually teach our children to respect our Leader, regardless of your political affiliation. It is disgusting that our children aren't "allowed" to watch President Obama speak to our youth about the importance of education and staying in school, about setting and following through on goals. Really????? I don't recall uproar when the first President Bush did the same thing, speaking to the children of this country about the dangers of drugs, I don't recall people freaking out thinking he was really just trying to brainwash the young "democrats" to become "republican". I don't care what political party anyone belongs to, but I firmly believe our children should be taught to respect the President and be able to listen to what he has to say on education and the current state of our Union. We are building our children's future now, what are we teaching them with this "ban".
Okay, sorry, I had to get this off my chest. I am so sick of the uproar and the newsworthiness of this story, I could puke! Listening to parents ramble on about the harm this will do gets under my skin. Maybe after the speech we could all listen to old AC/DC records backwards and get our satanic message from them, then we could cut chickens heads off and just go crazy... Really people... Find another crusade, I see no harm in my son listening to the leader of our country speak about the importance of education, but I am a crazy, left wing liberal, so what do I know?

A Night with Kenny...

So I'm a little slow on posting, but here was the Kenny concert in July.

Well, no Tim this year, so we headed out to watch Kenny at Rio Tinto Stadium. Not the greatest place to see a concert, it was hotter than hell, but we had a great time. It was his Sun City Carnival tour, with Lady Antebellum (we missed them), Miranda Lambert (not a huge fan), Sugar Land (they had to cancel, which sucked, cause I LOVE them) and Kenny all packed the stadium. I hadn't seen Kenny since he came to SLC with Tim quite a few years back but he does put on a great show, I must say. We had really good seats as you will see. All in all a great night! Now, just waiting til Tim comes back next summer...
