Grandpa and Grandma Mack!

Every Fall we seem to spend more and more quality time with Scott's parents! Terry and Karen -- Grandpa and Grandma Mack! Our staple is the U of U football games! GO UTES! They have season tickets on the front row, north-west side, 25 yard line - on the opposing teams side! We all love it of course - but I must admit my favorite part is yelling profanities(*wink wink*) at the opposing team players. Yes, I know it might not be sportsman-like, but how can you be when it is so easy to get in the player's heads.

Okay- enough of my excited rant. This post is about G&G Mack. . .

We have loved spending so much time with them. The kids have so much fun with them. We had such a blast with them in Disneyland and are looking forward to doing a trip like that again in December for Hana's birthday. Also, I personally LOVE being in the Mack family. Of course we have our differences, but who doesn't. That is what is so great - I have learned so much about myself, in loving these two wonderful people. There hearts are truly so generous and loving and I see that everytime we spend time with them. I love watching them with my kiddos as they play with them and show such love in the their actions with them. They truly give all they can and know to give to our kids and to Scott and I. I truly love them.

. . . Terry and Karen . . . Thank you for all the love you give to our little family, for the wonderfully fun times we have, and for the things I appreciate so much about you that I can't always explain in words. I love being a part of your family - what a blessing - and I love you two so much! Thank you!

funny kid moments. . .

June 26, 2010: Hana and Conrad doing silly sarcastic threats to eachother in the car: Hana: "Do you want me to give you a hair cut?"... Conrad: "Do you want me to give you a hair extention?" (how he thought of that, I do not know. Haha) :)
July 20, 2009: I asked Conrad to go downstairs and tell Scott and Hana that dinner is ready. Scott said when Conrad went down the following conversation happened... Conrad,"Dad dinner is ready!" Scott, "Who says?" Conrad, "Mom." Scott, "My mom said dinner's ready?" Conrad laughs, "No! My mom! Your babe!" (hilarious)
May 2, 2009: Just hangin' out at home... Conrad says, "Hey I just heard Hana." (she was playing in the other room) Scott says, "Who's Hana?" Conrad replies, "My sister." Scott asks, "Your sister? What does she look like?" Conrad responds,"She has a round head. And arms." Scott laughs. --- What a cutie!
December 27, 2008: Scott started brushing Conrad's teeth, and Conrad stopped him and said "It's too hot." Clever Scott blew on the toothbrush a couple times and started brushing Conrad's teeth again. Scott asked Conrad,"Is that better now?" Conrad knodded with approval. :)
Nov 9th, 2008: Hana and Conrad having a great time tonight, together in the tub . . . while Scott was in the bathroom with them Hana turned to Conrad and asked him, "Conrad, what is picky and says 'ouch'?" Then she pinches Conrad and he says "Ouch!" Then both kids and Scott start laughing! Ha ha ha! She is hilarious - Hana said that she got it from the movie 'Mr. Magorium's Wonder Imporium'.
Nov 6th, 2008: Conrad and I looking at the snow, out the front window of our house . . . Conrad turns to me, "You thinking what I'm thinking?" I laugh, "No buddy, what are you thinking?" Conrad with a thoughful look, "To fly . . . like a bird." I say "Oh yeah, me too!" Conrad, "Like a pink bird?" Me, "Yeah, what are you?" Conrad, "A blue bird. A fast one!" Me, "Cool!" Then we continue looking out the window. Awesome! :)
Sept 25, 2008: Scott took Hana and Conrad to the local aquarium and they were looking in the jelly fish tank. A little boy was also standing with them. They were all talking to each other about how they could see the jelly fish better. Conrad said, "Maybe we can use a Mouse-k-tool!?" (which is the solution to solving the situations in Mickey Mouse Club House cartoon) Cutie!
Sept 25, 2008: Scott said to Conrad, "You are a rag muffin." Conrad's response, "No I'm not! I'm a rock climber!"
Sept 18, 2008: Conrad has been doing so well with potty training and when he goes in the toilet we always say "I am so proud of you! Good job!" So lately if he is in the bathroom with Scott or I - or its the best in a public bathroom - Conrad says "Mom (or Dad), you peed! I am so pwoud of you!"
Sept 18, 2008: Conrad: "Mom, you aw da best!" :) SO sweet! I loved it of course!
Sept 15, 2008: When ever Hana wants to respond silly when she is surprised by what Scott or I say, she says (with a hick accent) "Mama, say what?" or "Papa" depending on who it is. I hear its a quote from Hannah Montana :)
Sept 5, 2008: Hana loves to draw and we always say how amazing her pictures are. Today Conrad saw Hana's picture and gave her a big hug and said "Hana, you aw amazeen!" It was so cute!
August 27, 2008: Today I left to kids in the car for a minute to run in and get Hana's backpack. Before I went in Hana said the following: "Mom, my backpack is in my room. (then she started giggling) My room is in our house. Our house is on the grass. The grass is on the earth. (Both of us laughing now) The earth is in space. Space is where God is. And God is everywhere." At that moment I was in such Awe of my 5 1/2 yr old daughter, I had no words. We just laughed together. :)
August 8, 2008: Hana saw a picture of the prince from the "Enchanted" movie and suddenly lowering her voice, she broke into song . . . "I've been dreaming of my true love's kiss . . ." and then burst into laughter as she finished the line! Hilarious! It was so cute!
August 3, 2008: I said. "Conrad, you're a weirdo." Conrad puts his lip down, and says, "No I'm not. I'm Playdough." Then he smiled and we both started laughing so hard!
