Scott and I figure that it is really fun right now in our lives to include our kids in our Valentines Day traditions! We keep it simple and family friendly... I order a heart shape pizza from Papa Murphy's, and while its cooking the kids make valentine cards for each other, and I set up the table to have an elegant candle-light pizza dinner. The kids love that I sprinkle valentine candies, like confetti, all over the table! Its SO fun, every year!<br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWvnped39PCKn50u68aZENnyejZhSF9zDj7ac9xFnF8gkANJL0X7Jg3XUdSGcWBu2DR3GVwXa4uZwPdo07czP3CYvQYuMgVk0MzyPpidbDWoeBj8mAV5vKALQhxFBB91qOWMFukzoTVUaK/s1600/2010-05-07+February-May+2010.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492005864300621458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWvnped39PCKn50u68aZENnyejZhSF9zDj7ac9xFnF8gkANJL0X7Jg3XUdSGcWBu2DR3GVwXa4uZwPdo07czP3CYvQYuMgVk0MzyPpidbDWoeBj8mAV5vKALQhxFBB91qOWMFukzoTVUaK/s400/2010-05-07+February-May+2010.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492005882793142082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFHVpLBoxBTd4gA75_lzEf2s95nNpsJVZ7lmScEznc262m6sHqeKc1tWA71mOcQj8RfFE3vYRLcqYVnHzaiiSYuInB5dlQ5SDdtAQOpOd-fq3LidhHou-achMSBiOdqNwwpHgJkl3tA89c/s400/February-May+2010+055.JPG" border="0" />Kendall made the DELICIOUS Valentine's dessert!

Got to be with cousins Elli and Delaney, go with friends and bbq up the canyon, face paintings at McDonalds... are a few pictured here. Hana's green hair is from her Crazy Hair day during the Rock Climbing camp she did! What a blast!</div><div> </div><div>***</div><div> </div><div>As for Amy... I took a job teaching at the private school where Hana has attended pre-school and Kindergarten, Children's Christian School. I teach the Jr. High class, 6th-8th grade. I LOVE it! My kiddos get to be with me all day... Hana in 1st grade and Conrad in preschool. What a blessing! <br /><br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487464215470861186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_DGzP-QFuCdZSUq8OBJxbSZvXX15KfKwYv0YburIojrBI9qzEU41GdYpUvq-qmSYsC0n1FqSxvbZrpykQvcJx-pEi_w-EOpWbTzOXUkGUP9QxFRGojqspanF6pwGKMxvovWKPwKCK73-u/s400/2009-09-19+Aug-Sept+2009+Truck,+Bday+Cakes,+Conrad%27s+4th+Bday1.jpg" border="0" />This collage of pictures is titled "Od to Scott's Baby!" Scott's truck was rear-ended extremely hard while he was stopped at a red light during 4:00 traffic. Sadly, it totaled his truck. We took some goodbye pictures of it before we left it at the junk lot. Sad day for Scottie :(</div><div> <br /><br /></div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487464223639308786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBH7mws2gh6xvfOxfcBfR59ePE3QKCq0heOqKMA-6pgxtj3XlUr47rYjgxiZYW2tRScluB7czxszXceHezxU-QdRNqLcRgqDDoSBZVPSraw9WR8SWATyefZy3a2WXHAjuNC8svKvepM9kj/s400/2009-09-19+Aug-Sept+2009+Truck,+Bday+Cakes,+Conrad%27s+4th+Bday2.jpg" border="0" />For Conrad's 4th birthday I did a Mario Brothers theme... as you can see the RAD cake I made! :o) So to add to the jumping action of the Mario brothers, we rented a bounce house... and it happened to be on the ONLY day it rained in September! :( Lame! SO we had a house full of people... friends and family, and wet, freezing kids running in and out as they bounced in the bounce house. As you can see in the pic, the kids are soaked out there, but having a blast!<br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487465038182329762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKrGu71vwKvLA3xaZVnWG8w6xMvOw5mdjKsjmzVSwIUDpQWWMz2zW6qEG6koQfoCNZMzPdHs_fBz-WyZWRxtKgANwBeAlBp6xp6xoH5f4j-V-EfwgioceZXeJanV8qP_QVAyrFeKwZR_4p/s400/Sept-Mid+Nov+2009.jpg" border="0" />As always.... GO UTES! Scott and I had fun at all the home games, and took the kids to a couple! Our favorite time together was when Scott and I went to the Oregon game.

They had a blast! Then on her actual birthday we had more family and friends over! Good times!</div><div> </div><div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487465020842201026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoBuDIfFF7ImYM5AH1XLyfPU4J1BC61ezSdd6vAeGVFDz7QH4brioYrsl-B8veQJWHuua0-4jfh_F5SvSkA7pYbdpwxbir9Y7RfwUhbSz2s94csNFbatf6Yj4X3wkLLBVyvRX1DBymjpUz/s400/2010-01-07+End+of+December+09-+January+7th+10.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div></div></div><br /><p>The next few pictures are highlights of Christmas!

So we decided on a hike that was about 2 or so miles with little lakes on the way, so as not to get bored. We would end up at the Clyde Lake, relax and fish and eat lunch, & maybe mozy over to Three Divide Lakes if we wanted before we headed back.<br /><div><div><br /><div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362644603724187922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgoidTTAAlc3H1WBpFYNYIlA6NiN0c9nA7stCxcS1iinZMljQhJerqSKs2MBls3EYj4pftgnFhHBNoX5UVFvfYAtSyd1617IfB8ApdUAuDB_DW7py8YNlK6f4Gplx5cff6YCT8zykyZuSu/s400/June+(all)+-+July+20th+20095.jpg" border="0" /><br />At Clyde Lake we relaxed and played for a couple hours. The kids found a fun little pond they named "The Little Mack's Lake" and played in their "clubhouse" right by it. <span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><span style="font-size:100%;">Then Scott and I decided, from looking at the map, it would be fun to cut across and bush-wack to another trail to head back. It was SO beautiful!</span> </strong></span></div><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#ff6666;">We also LOVED teaching the kids about what we LOVE ... being in the mountains, hiking, and going into parts of the mountains that not too many people go.

If I export it from my pic library on Picasa it can't enlarge if clicked on. YEAH! I figured it out!

At first we had a very logical reason why we did this - - - I can't seem to remember it, but none-the-less it was a well rounding experience for Hana and us all. We met some great friends in the process and Hana learned A LOT! Now at the end of it all Hana will not be attending public school - she will stay on at the private school!

When Scott found this out, he had to decide how to still keep the trip a secret, and let me know that I couldn't do the wedding cake. Well . . . long story short, Scott hinted enuf that my weekend was taken, beginning with a Friday night date. So planets aligned that Friday, May 8th and I was still able to make the cake and get it delivered to the reception with the help of my wonderful Grandma Holt, make and deliver a Mother's Day cookie cake to a bakery customer, and get home in time for our date at 6:00pm. So as I drove home, after the deliveries, around 5:30pm I was talking to my mom on the phone and telling her how everything just fell into place with the wedding cake, and whatever Scott's surprise was. She chatted and laughed with me, we hung up, a few minutes later I pulled in the drive way, and as I got out of the car, my mom and my bro's and sis pulled in behind me! WHAT!? Scott came walking out the front door and said, "Well, do you want me to tell you where we're going or just what you should pack?" </div><br /><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">What a surprise! My mom had been driving up and was in the SL Valley when I was talking to her about the wedding cake, etc. She had come up to watch our kiddos while Scott took me on the surprise trip to San Fran! What a blast! I think I was still in shock most of the trip. It was so fun!!!</div><br /><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357823786429869378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwl4tnnt7tO8MBC4pwIoDGUNCV3biUT4RHqxM_NqWmcawy4rSt1Ci0omVt7jSQ4aTmpDRHGzbjpaH5u7iJYC5qmm7qKaweEsl4QgmiILBHUfoPvxXlMHpDjL42IPy6Xlt8uJkAgcxCS-WP/s400/May+2009,+Wedding+Cake,+San+Fran+Trip4.jpg" border="0" />Cousin Virginia's wedding cake (reception 2)<br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357828919588575538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8DW-5HvE4iggKBTPU-65vvaiyHmDQZaAXWEGDj8JAfvL9NyCJzG6FA-XeXWQx5IWnT7NtjMeGCc1wF-C4O8GsuSLmFovonSaY1W16wRNw5DfyZVxrrOb2JOfnqejAFEeQKM83K-fBTMnE/s200/May+2009,+Wedding+Cake,+San+Fran+Trip+067.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p align="center">Cookie Cake </p><p align="center"></p><div align="center">Below are a few pictures of the FUN we had in San Fran!!!

Happy 60th Karen!!!</strong><br /><br /><br />Next... I got a phone call at work one Thursday evening. Scott was on the other end, with crying in the back ground, he reported that Conrad fell off the tent trailer when he and Hana were playing on it (off limits) and fell on his face and is not moving his arm so they were headed to Insta Care. So, I left work and met them at Insta Care. Poor little Conrad, as you can tell from the pictures, had a bloody, swollen nose, really fat lip, and a little bit of a scare. His arm was fine, no broken bones, and no stitches needed.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357821015645060098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_4aHLP15zEvmnImgddoT57-_jNKwN4B6w96duA9UqD5jpfbqYeB17kqIRt_ZrAzVJm8VWN-DbTNX3UC0kKtBBqbmFV-RU8clx_bLRS1axsWoPrbk2N-pEm45KNhPZOF5jefPNH7TwFN2a/s400/May+2009,+Girls+weekend,+Conrads+Fat+lip,+Misc.jpg" border="0" /><br />It was really sweet... After we left Insta Care, Hana and Scott went to get popsicles and Conrad and I went home. As we went in the house Conrad said with his 3-year-old, fat-lip voice, "I think its best if I go take a rest now, in my bed." Also, when I was taking the pictures, on his own w/o any suggestion, he put his fingers by his mouth and lifted his lip a little so I could take a better picture of his lip. Cutie!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Finally, Memorial Day weekend - we headed to St. George! It was the first time we had been back down there since Christmas! It was fun to see Mom's new house and be with my fam.

With Hana in Disneyland...<span style="font-size:130%;">I <strong>surprised</strong> Hana one morning, during her Spring Recess from school (Easter Break), and we went to Disneyland and the Beach!!! What a BLAST!!!<br /></span><br /><br /><div><div>So I packed a backpack the night before . . . got a cheap hotel room for one night and a great deal on a car. . . set up a tender for Conrad . . . woke up early, dropped Conrad off, and told Hana "Just go with this kiddo. I will explain more in a little while." We already had been to the airport very early dropping Scott off to work (parking and one car in lot at a time stuff), so Hana was curious why her and I were at the airport getting on the bus from the employee prkg lot. So while on the bus she looks at me and asks, "Mom, what are we doing here?" So I say, "Well, Hana, what would you say if we went to Disneyland right now?" Her eyes, with confusion and excitement lit up, and she knodded her head enthusiastically. "Well, that is exactly where we are going! Just you and just me are getting on a plane and going to Disneyland!!! What do you think of that?" She was thrilled ... her head, I could tell, was spinning ... she had a lot of questions through out the next couple hours, as we were in the airport and on the plane. It was kinda funny . . . I think she was in shock . . . there seemed to be SO much emotion that it overwhelmed her so there appeared to be no emotion. For the first part of the plane ride she just sat quietly. She slowly started to loosen up and realize what was going on.<br /><br /></div><div>Ultimately we had a BLAST together!!!</div><div><br /><br /></div><div>Here are a few pics that show our girl fun!!! . . . </div><div><br />We rode several rides, went on Tom Sawyer's Island (if they call it that still), had lunch and then headed for Toon Town!<br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334802483785885058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6-s7R7fsuOq3mvn9cpSWUaRM7U0QZnLrOfAjn9nfXUNCds9g3A_9TaSOb_tRWf8bMNoTAfWGo7Mx09utEa00zREmBZW-b6oaeXWxZwjpiqh7yN3Ntxu75ucts-SG2XU51X4tuVKjEQdVA/s400/March+2009,+Amy%27s+30th+bday+-+April+2009,+Easter,+DL+with+Hana2.jpg" border="0" /><br />Hana and I pretended that we lived in Toon Town (Hana's fabulous idea of course!). We called all the rest of Disneyland "Down Town." It was so much fun! We visited all our friends in toon town ... Goofy, Donald, Mickey, Minnie. We checked our mail and went to the local market to purchase some nescesities. ;) For a while we were staying with Goofy, then we decided that it would be good to stay with Minnie, and then the final decision was that it would be best to stay with Mickey in his house and visit Minnie. So that is what we pretended most of our day in DL. </div><div></div><div>Around dinner time we headed "Down Town" and went out to dinner at the Carnation Cafe - YUM. Then watched the parade "Down Town" and took a drive "Down Town" - Autopia. It was great!</div><div></div><div>Then we headed back home (Toon Town) to be with our friends and walk through Mickey and Minnie's house over and over, just to make sure it felt like we lived there. ;)<br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334802491683343218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUyC9_f7AutqM787jLQUAGjAXhNeMHyfRYMyqcAk2TqSjqNB-3aD1WeEYrEZg7-ywNNQADTND6qpA24fb4h91xe9pPG8K1aayvCakHefsZs-LLb9V71F3Q9T3y34NXOlBlFK_VDy6tYHEC/s400/March+2009,+Amy%27s+30th+bday+-+April+2009,+Easter,+DL+with+Hana3.jpg" border="0" /> <div></div><div><div></div><div>We pushed a LATE night and Hana was asleep long before we got to our hotel.

The kids also get to write a letter with the things they want for Christmas on it for Santa to keep. Then after about a week Santa sends the kids a letter thanking them for coming to breakfast and letting them know that he is working on their toys, which he names them specifically in the letter. Its pretty cool for the kids to get that letter. They get very excited! </div><div></div><div>Oh look at my kiddos! They are such cuties...

She had a blast! We had to try a little bribing for her to come on some rides with us, but it didn't really work. She really hates rides with hills and some of the best ones have them -- such as, Pirates of the Carribean (yes the little ones at the first) and Splash Mountain. She never went on Splash Mountain, but on Friday night she fell asleep during the fireworks, so right after they were done, we snuck her with us on Pirates. She slept right through the hills, then woke up for the rest of it. It was perfect! :)</div><div align="center">She did agree to go on the Matterhorn for some Cottoncandy. She ended up liking the ride and we went again during the trip. It was very cool to talk to her about how she overcame her fears and what she did if there was a hill. Maybe next time she will do Pirates without having to be asleep. ;) Her FAVORITE ride is Soarin' in CA Adventure. </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><br /><br /></div><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282524961238515986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzQXc6uQoAV-cLbSJn80nx9_IhAs3C1wgRnL4fKcNn0P-qmpfUapAxGKzsfKCivlaVem37kmMbLE8W6RI3dDuFLYinaGdpwgrP_pcGaldfXuIcUnXWFb9DOmu3FIJfmRuCGKW03GCH4NpP/s400/December+08+-+Disneyland+Trip,+Hana%27s+Birthday1.jpg" border="0" />Here is our Little Man! He has a thing for his Grandpa Mack lately. Its fun! Together they sang "Utah Man" pretty much the entire trip. If you can tell in the picture on the bottom left we happen to be in line right in front of some Zoobies who were on a roommate trip. Conrad saw them and said "I am a Utah Man sir! Cougar fans!" then he sang "Utah Man" for them. They of course thought he was adorable. </p><p align="center">Conrad also LOVED the Cowgirl in red. We went to Santa's Reindeer Roundup and they sang songs with the kids, and he LOVED it. He wanted her to keep singing with him. So cute. <br /></p><p align="center"> </p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282524959461287666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiSiIasXoG7pQ0HyFtz_QQRZbi1SMCsaLjQ8a_nqDRezABCNlEnmS-9U-wVnJ_xhnuO3a1H1cEfr3Qiu3XIfgEuOM16nqO3EmanjfKuZUdtb2W4oiP_EApGOYVLU4Q8VyOxQuQpgjZegYv/s400/December+08+-+Disneyland+Trip,+Hana%27s+Birthday2.jpg" border="0" />Have some Characters, Huh!?
