Suprisingly LDS?

We have been wasting time on famousmormons.net. I came across a few I knew about and a few I didn't:




Troy Dunn from "The Locator". Supposedly he is currently serving as a Bishop in his ward.

Rick Schroeder married a good little Mormon girl many years ago and converted in 2000.

Lacey Schwimmer of "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Dancing With The Stars" fame.

Katherine Heigl from "Grey's Anatomy". She admits she is not active but admires the religion.

The Hough siblings from "Dancing With The Stars".

Aaron Eckhart. You might know him as "two-face" from the last Batman movie.


Ali from the "Biggest Loser". She was the big winner last season

Yeah, I knew all of them but Ali. Did you know that the original black team guys and the blue team guys from this season are LDS too.

Lacey Schwimmer's brother Benji was the winner on SYTYCD and they talked about his mission on the show. They've also talked about Julianne Hough being mormon on Dancing With the Stars. This season started of with 4 LDS pros. Derek, Julianne, Chelsea and Lacey.

Builders vs. Wreckers

Image
A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown

Surprise McKinley!

Image
A week ago, McKinley's best friend, Caty, texted me and asked if she could throw McKinley a surprise birthday party on her birthday.  The girls had been challenged by their Young Women leaders to do a 10 hour project for Individual Worth and she thought it would make a great project to plan a fun party for her! She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made.  She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. Then they went swimming.  Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and  Lexie   with Emily  and Molly  and Mallory  and Kylie H.  and Kaly   the Lloyd twins and Abbey  Megan  Kaylie W.  Michaela  and Kylie P who had celebrated her birthday with a party the night before.
