IT'S OFFICIAL!!!!  MY PARENTS HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED IN HAWAII!!!  THEY ARE SERVING A MISSION AT THE VISITOR'S CENTER IN LAIE.  IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS SO FAR, AND THEY HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY BUSY!  MY MOM WAS PUT IN CHARGE OF DECORATING THE BIG TREE THERE, AND SHE STARTED THE DAY SHE GOT OFF THE PLANE!  NO BIG SURPRISE THERE!  THE HAWAIIAN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOVE THEM SO MUCH!
                  HE

      IS    SOOOOOOO

        SMOKIN'

      HOTTTTTT!!!!!!!!

every year our family does a tree for the "Festival of Trees."  We do that instead of gifts for eachother and to also show our gratitude for Primary Children's Hospital.  3 years ago, my niece was in ICU there with very little chance of survival.  She had Myocarditis that stemmed from the flu. The flu basically attacked her heart. They had seen 2 other children that year come in for the same thing and neither of them survived.  They put a balloon in her heart with little hope it would work.  We saw many miracles at that time, and have a thriving, healthy niece at this time!  WE LOVE PRIMARY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL!!!!!
THIS IS MAC AND HIS DATE LEAVING FOR THE DOG PATCH DANCE!!!! SHE IS A CUTIE!

A FEW MORE PICS OF CHINA!  WE WERE INVITED ON A YACHT BY THE MAYOR .  THE FLAGS IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE TOP PICTURE  REPRESENTED ALL OF THE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.  THIS WAS WHERE THE OLYMPICS SAILING EVENT WAS HELD.

HERE ARE A FEWS PICS OF OUR LATEST TRIP TO CHINA.  THESE WERE ALL TAKEN IN SHANGHAI.  IT REMINDED ME OF NEW YORK CITY.  TONS OF HIGH RISES,BUSINESSES, AND SHOPPING!  THE PICTURE OF THE FOOD IS SEA URCHIN!  IT WAS DISGUSTING!  I ALSO SAMPLED PIGEON,RAW HORSE,PUFFER FISH, AND MANY MORE YUCKY FOODS. ALL WAS WASHED DOWN HEAVILY WITH FLAT COKE. IT WAS GLAD I CAME PREPARED WITH GOOD OLD AMERICAN SNACKS TO TIDE ME OVER! THE OTHER PICS ARE IN THE GARDENS IN SHANGHAI.  I BEGGED SEAN TO WEAR THAT OUTFIT FOR A PIC AND I GUARANTEE IT HADN'T BEEN WASHED FOR 1,000 YEARS!  AT LEAST THE HEAD PIECE MADE ME LOOK A LITTLE TALLER!  CHINA WAS AN EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO VISIT!










































SO TODAY I TOLD THE KIDS THEY ALL NEEDED TO GET A PLASTIC BAGGY ON THEIR HAND AND A GROCERY SACK IN THE OTHER AND HEAD TO THE BACK YARD TO CLEAN UP ALL OF YANKEE'S POOP! BAYLEE AND GRACIE CAME BACK WITH A BAG OF POOP, WHILE PEYTON CAME IN SAYING IT STINKS TOO BAD! I TOLD HIM TO BREATH THROUGH HIS MOUTH AND HE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SMELL IT. I HEARD HIM OUTSIDE TELLING HIMSELF TO BREATH THROUGH HIS MOUTH. HE CAME IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER WITH TEARS ROLLING DOWN HIS CHEEKS. HE HANDED ME HIS BAG THAT DIDN'T HAVE ANY POOP IN IT-ONLY HIS OWN BARFFFFFF!
IF YOU KNOW PEYTON, HIS SNIFFER IS REALLY SENSITIVE! I COULDN'T HELP BUT DIE OF LAUGHTER. HE GOES TO EXTREMES TO NOT HAVE TO HELP AROUND HERE!!!!

Last night Mac had a baseball game at UVU. He wasn't feeling very well, but of course still wanted to play ball. He not only hit his first home run in his High School career, but he hit TWO back to back!!! I of course didn't catch it on camera, so here is a pic of Mac pitching.

IT'S OFFICIAL! WE HAVE A SENIOR IN THE HOUSE. HOW COULD THAT BE? IT FEELS LIKE JUST YESTERDAY THAT HE WAS AT HIS KINDERGARTEN INTERVIEW FAKING THE TEACHER OUT-PICKING A RANDOM LETTER OR COLOR AND MAKING SURE HE SAID THE WRONG ANSWER. I WILL NEVER FORGET SOBBING ALL THE WAY HOME WHEN THE TEACHER THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR FOR HIM TO START KINDERGARTEN. "WHY ARE YOU CRYING MOM? I WAS JUST PRETENDING THAT I DIDN'T KNOW THE ANSWERS-THAT WAS FUNNY-HUH MOM? WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU MAC!

MY SIS IN LAW DID THIS COOL THING TO ONE OF GRACIE'S PICTURES. NOW SHE IS GOING TO HAVE TO SHOW ME HOW TO DO IT! YOU ROCK ANJ!
WE MISS OUR DAD! HE HAS ONLY BEEN GONE FOR A LITTLE OVER A WEEK, AND WE HAVE 2 MORE TO GO.
THINGS WE MISS:
MOTORCYCLE RIDES TO HARMONS ON SAT. MORNINGS TO GET BREAKFAST
MOTORCYCLE RIDES TO GET OUR FAVORITE FROZEN YOGURT.(IT IS CALLED "SPOON ME.")
I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT TASTES REALLY GOOD, AND SEAN JUST LIKES THE NAME!
HAVING HELP WITH HOMEWORK
HOME COOKED MEALS-BECAUSE MOM DOESN'T COOK WHEN DADS GONE!
WEEKEND DATES
WATCHING YANKEE JUMP AS HIGH AS COUNTER TOP WHEN SEAN GETS HOME FROM WORK
HEARING HIS VOICE
KEEPING THE PEACE
POPPING THE KIDS ZITS!-THEY DON'T SEEM TO LET ME
FAMILY PRAYER
FIXING OUR LEAKY FAUCET

WE LOVE YOU DAD! HAVE FUN IN CHINA WITHOUT US!
