Well Tax time and finally get to fix my Chevy van that I blew the engine in December. Also gave us a boost in our savings and a chance to get caught up on things.... it's really nice to have extra money again.
We pulled Victoria out of public school cause she wasn't ;earning anything there and started Homeschooling her. She is responding to the change well.
We have Completed the filming and I will post when it will air as soon as I know. Things are a bit stressful because of all of us being trapped inside due to the weather. it keeps snowing here and frankly getting tired of it.We are ready for spring. next week I plane on pulling the engine and hopefully the weather will be nice in order to do that.
Other projects is that I updated my computer,.. I got a GTX 460 Geforce card for a steal at a store closing and after changing the power supply to a higher wattage can run it in my dell computer. I love it. That was my Tax return splurge on myself. The van is a family thing.
Cameron is in Early childhood. because of his being a preemie he is delayed. so he now qualifies to go to school.He is three.
We got a two year membership at the museum. Mainly for Victoria's school but the rest of the family will enjoy it. I enjoy talking to her about creation -vs- evolution.We went today,.. a Saturday. They have a live butterfly room and Willow freaked out about the live insects flying around her. It was cute.
Brandy is getting more hours at her job. Thomas is getting big and all over the place. William is quite the little monkey. we got new baby gates to keep him out of the kitchen when the wives are cooking and the little bugger tried to climb it.
Ange is dealing with some issues of her past thats been hard for her but her love for the family is always first and foremost. Ange is losing weight and getting into shape... I love her new look.
Interesting how this kind of family can change your perspective on family. I love all my children but also it's nice to have others there to help. Victoria adores Julie who is the home teacher in the family. Also her and Willow are inseparable. Ange take more of a nurturer role with the boys. Brandy is still young and still getting use to mother hood but she is always getting better at helping around the house and helping withe the children. Thomas is the best thing that happened to her. We are the second best thing.
We have been dealing with some issues of extended family separation in that parents and other family , most don't agree with our life choices. It's hard to say who has it the worse. But I can say I have it the easiest as I severed ties with my birth Mother and my step father. That was in 1999 and over the murder of a 14 year old girl that was my half-brother's sister in-law. Long story short I didn't like the position that my family took over the incident.
Perhaps, because my family was never close, I seek this kind of life because I have the closeness and love that I never had growing up as a child. The relationship that a husband develops with each wife as an individual is important. just like any marriage when a person loses their identity or grows away from their spouse then the relationship sails through rough waters. As husbands is is our job to support and encourage the wife(s) to continue to grow both physically and spiritually.

Values
When you put God first and pray often, the family goes together well. I look at other families that are struggling and realize how blessed I am as I have three wonderful wives.
Ange the first I met on Myspace, Brandy I met on IMVU chat and before me never thought about polygamy. Julie I found on Biblical families in an email. She had just joined the group and i was some of the first that answered her post.
So it is a matter of timing and prayer. It isn't easy to find women that get along well together and here are days that they have their moments. All marriages have their ups and downs but it how the family gets through them that is important.
The point is that finding families is limited only by your effort. Personally I have never really had any luck in Chats and groups. I think that is because many look for something that is unrealistic or just love the attention that being a single woman in a group of families competing will give them.
I personally think competition is not a good thing as it takes away the normal process of getting to know someone. Love shouldn't be a competition and Woman that are looking for "the Best deal" in a family I don't think have what it takes and might bail when the rose colored glasses come off. Marriages and Families take work as well as love. The way my family and I do have a 100% success rate at weeding out and finding the right ones for our families.

Childern and Such
Is it Normal for a house with five childern four under the age of five to be constantly noisey? Our house always is.
Some of the things that we are struggeling with is getting Victoria's Home school set up and getting the family back into a routine.
Ange is Struggleing with some issues of her past and I am trying to move forward with planes for the future and deal with our buget.
There is so much to do it isn't funny anymore. But when my sons are fighting over me for attension, my three year old walking around saying "Daddy is so weird", when I tease her, it makes it worth it. As I watch my 10 year old daughter get her homschooling on track I feel proud of this whole family.
The People that make up this family came to us with the Lord's blessing and as the family works I see how much forsight the Lord has in building a loving family. It's nice to know we got the right wives the first time around.
Febuary 1st is promising to be a great month. I feel stronger as I realize the Heavenly Father countinues to bless me and watch over me and my family.
I have been struggeling with some rummors I have been hearing from the Groups that I have been on. But I know in the end I will see it straighten out and my well placed faith will prevail.

Update and some about my views
Haven't been here in a while. There for a month it seemed like our life was turned upside down as we struggled to adjust to me being without a job. We are still struggling but we have one the major battles as that we survived the month. now taxes start rolling in, unemployment will be starting and other great changes.
We survived our experience with the TV people rather well. It seems as if things are dragging this weekend and I pray for the Lord to grant me guidance to carry one and led my family safely.
Many think That this kind of life is easy and just the on the rewards. Doing God's will mean being open to the spirit and what direction he wants to move me and my family. It's not always easy .
There are those out there that seem to make a joke about this kind of life style and spreading false doctrine or twisting doctrine to meet there needs. I believe these people trying to force their wives into polygamy or stating that plural marriage is a God given right are out of line and casting polygamy communities in a bad light.
Nowhere is it written in the bible that God give man the right to polygamy. It's something that should be pro sued if the first wife gives her consent and for the right reasons. Just because desiring to have sex with another reason is not one of them. marriage is not supposed to be based on sex and so when a man takes another wife it shouldn't be based on sex either. That is asking for trouble.

DAY OF REST
Well it's been a rough week. Stress at work and the van beginning engine troubles. we don't know to the extent of the problem but we suspect it might need a new engine.
There remains a lot of stress in the house as we prepare a Wedding with Brandy and I. Even though we are married in the eyes of the Lord, Brandy still wants he wedding and we have th opportunity to make it happen on the 15th of January. The wives are getting stressed about getting it done.I guess that is normal.
I had Friday and Saturday off. it was great since been working through the last three weeks.
Times get sticky and I find myself doing alot of praying. It's a constant job to keep up with this family financially and physically.

EXCOMMUNICATION
Life always has it's mile stones and this is true about us.We have been officially Excommunicated as of the 25th of September. Yeah its long over dues to post but I have been rather busy.
Basically it sums up the topics from the September 16th disciplinary council.
The church excommunicated us as our "conduct" was contrary to the laws and order of the Church. We both received letters and mine stated that it was related to my acts on Polygamy, Adultery, and the misuse of the priest hood.
Before I can be readmitted to the Church they gave us conditions.
1. Sincerely seek the Lord. Pray and consider the living situation with my legal and plural wives. Coordinate steps to repent with the Bishop to begin the process of returning to the Church.
2. We may continue to attend and participate in church and church activities, as long as we are not argumentative, do not preach contrary to the Church doctrine.
For the record we never were argumentative or preached contrary to church doctrine. i stated in the disciplinary board I wasn't in church to do that. i was in Church to learn.
Also how can they say that I committed adultery when they recognized my wives as plural wives? you can't commit adultery with ones own wife.
The misuse of the preisthood was because they saw that I did home church and passed the sacrament among my family, while the board was pending. We already knew that the ultimate decision that they would wind up at was excommunication, So as a priest hood holder and head of the household, that thrust me into the role as the head of the home church.

OUT OF THE CLOSET
Well sorry I haven't blog in a while,.. these 50+ hour weeks sometimes get the best of me.
Lots of things are on my mind these days and lots to blog about. But lets start with the basics.
I used names like DH and Ann so that if someone accidentally came across the blog they wouldn't know who we were exactly. Since then we were ousted to the church. While I set everything to privet on my page someone manage to track down the blogs and connect the dots. More on that later,...
Any how are real names which I will be useing from now on are:
DH;......... Rich
Ann;........ Angela
B-Leigh;.. Brandy
J-Ann;..... Julie
Most of my followers and friend already knew the true identities of each of us.
