As Contented and happy my last post was, now you get to hear the other side of Sheryl. I sent this email out this morning, so if it is a repeat to you.... sorry, but not really. As you know I work in the Public school system, and,my boss assured me this morning as I told him my story, that this just would not be happening here, "Not in California". WRONG!!
Hey my dear friends and family,
Last night as I was watching a bit of TV, a commercial came on that struck a cord with me that got me on my computer and I wrote a letter to Jack O’Connell, Superintendent of Education for the State of California. This man is an elected official, and last night, he personally came on with the No on 8 campaign. I strongly feel he has stepped outside the bounds of his position as he did this. He stated that the Yes side of the campaign is misleading, and that children will not be involved whatsoever. But I received an email this morning. That states that today is “Coming Out” day at a school up north.
I Googled this school, and while this is a Charter School, it is also a Public School. I then Googled the Pacific Justice Institute, and this was from their website directly, along with how outraged the California Teachers are that their Union has chosen to use their dues without their permission to donate 1.25 million dollars to the No on 8 campaign. The Liberal Union Leaders are on their own agenda and not supporting those they represent. This is an evil assault on all that we know to be right and true. Please get writing letters and emails to all you can.

Parents at a K-8 charter school in Hayward were shocked to learn this week the extent to which their school is promoting gay and lesbian ideals to their daughter in kindergarten. The parents were shocked to see a poster announcing that "Coming Out Day" will be celebrated at the school this coming Thursday, October 23. The school, Faith Ringgold School of Art and Science, chose not to tell parents ahead of time, but it is in the midst of celebrating "Ally Week," a pro-homosexual push typically aimed at high school students. When one mother asked her daughter earlier this week what she was learning in kindergarten at the school, the 5-year-old replied, "We're learning to be allies." The mother also learned that her daughter's kindergarten classroom is regularly used during lunchtime for meetings of a Gay Straight Alliance club.
Later this week, the school is slated to talk about families. The parents have noticed several posters promoting families, all of which depict only homosexual families. More controversial discussions can be expected through next week, as the elementary school continues to celebrate Gay and Lesbian History Month. On November 20, the school will host TransAction Gender-Bender Read-Aloud, where students will hear adapted tales such as "Jane and the Beanstalk." These parents are being advised by attorneys from Pacific Justice Institute. Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute, commented, "Do we need any further proof that gay activists will target children as early as possible? Opponents of traditional marriage keep telling us that Prop. 8 has nothing to do with education. In reality, they want to push the gay lifestyle on kindergartners, and we can only imagine how much worse it will be if Prop. 8 is defeated. This is not a scenario most Californians want replayed in their elementary schools."
Take a stand,
Sheryl

Goofy stopped to talk to J, but not long enough to take a picture with him.
We visited ToonTown first
Then on to Fantasyland. Jackson did not care too much for Toad's Wild Ride, the Carousel was okay....
but Dumbo, now there is a ride for this boy!
this was a great shot we saw many times in the day. The guys doing what guys do!
Then on to California Adventure for the last couple of hours
At the end of a long day, we were tired, but glad for the day together. Our little guy looking weary....
We have had fun just relaxing and playing and watching him be the cutie that he is. 
He loves his uncle Skyler, and he is so excited to see him. Skyler is definitely his favorite guy to hang out with
Grant and Julia having good laughs, good times.
Jordan thinking over some great factual Church history.
They all had a good visit with Heidi and Jackson. 
I was a bit late into the Italian charm bracelet craze. Mostly due to cost of the charms, but I loved that you could find just about anything at the time that you wanted to add to your bracelet. Mostly I received the charms as gifts from my friends at work, and found some on sale, and hadn't really thought about adding anymore since the mall kiosks have long gone, and they have mostly disappeared from retail.
I recieved a charm for my birthday, representing my anniversary, and this sparked a thought that maybe you could buy them online. sure enough.... I found some good sites that I purchased from with some birthday money generously given by my friends at work. I found italiancharms.com, and most of theirs are $1.95, and a bit more expensive, but Pugster.com had buy 2 get one free last week, and coolcharms has quite a big selection,and you can order custom charms like my Jackson 4/15/07.
