(I know, mother of the year right here!) We had a great time and the kids experienced pumpkin guts for the first time. Poor Abbi literally gagged and then cried because she gagged. Not a big fan of the pumpkin guts. It was actually kind of heartbreaking. Livi gagged as well, but laughed afterwards. They did, however, love drawing out their own designs on the pumpkin. Then mom and dad carved them. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Maybe next year we'll add a good fall meal and maybe some friends to our new pumpkin carving tradition!</div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1aZShDRgTA4/Tq375V_BalI/AAAAAAAACQw/AZkooDaC8CY/s1600/IMG_9024.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1aZShDRgTA4/Tq375V_BalI/AAAAAAAACQw/AZkooDaC8CY/s320/IMG_9024.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669464468501916242" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-K-ofWMDsCSA/Tq375Fpo5oI/AAAAAAAACQo/Zt9t31OKuOo/s1600/IMG_9025.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-K-ofWMDsCSA/Tq375Fpo5oI/AAAAAAAACQo/Zt9t31OKuOo/s320/IMG_9025.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669464464117261954" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_e0LHPsMKjI/Tq37cNw62VI/AAAAAAAACQY/WB2xf_6TMfU/s1600/IMG_9027.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_e0LHPsMKjI/Tq37cNw62VI/AAAAAAAACQY/WB2xf_6TMfU/s320/IMG_9027.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669463968079075666" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-96Is3aJz17Y/Tq37b1q5JqI/AAAAAAAACQM/1sbh5zJ_93g/s1600/IMG_9029.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-96Is3aJz17Y/Tq37b1q5JqI/AAAAAAAACQM/1sbh5zJ_93g/s320/IMG_9029.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669463961611347618" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9Ad1PwjgFww/Tq37blGWc1I/AAAAAAAACQA/ZrJPR9v7SVM/s1600/IMG_9030.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9Ad1PwjgFww/Tq37blGWc1I/AAAAAAAACQA/ZrJPR9v7SVM/s320/IMG_9030.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669463957163111250" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C5YiVs8Pl8Q/Tq369aGr5qI/AAAAAAAACP0/2yIOHW13hH0/s1600/IMG_9033.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C5YiVs8Pl8Q/Tq369aGr5qI/AAAAAAAACP0/2yIOHW13hH0/s320/IMG_9033.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669463438815651490" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Thats right, don't mess.

Its always hard to see your baby cry, but I discovered its even harder to see your four year old cry because your baby is crying. Abbi was so concerned about her baby sister getting shots she couldn't hold back the tears. And after the nurse left the room Abbi demanded that she hold her and help make her feel better. It was so sweet and heartbreaking.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Baby Beth is, not surprisingly, following the trend her sisters did...</div><div style="text-align: center;">90% for weight at 12lbs 2 oz</div><div style="text-align: center;">25-50% for height</div><div style="text-align: center;">It will be fun to see if she's a shorter like Abbi or taller like Livi.

It was awesome. We spent some serious quality family time, enjoyed the amazing and unique landscape, did some hiking, lake swimming (and bathing), forest playing, tramp jumping, camp food eating, late night fire talking, and much, much more. We were also able to visit my father-in-laws' grave which made our trip extra special. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Our trip began with a visit to this little guy and his parents in St. George. My girls cannot get enough of their cousin, or his toys. Thank you Brady and Megan for letting us play and crash.

They learn the difference between and "country road" and a "main road", as Abigail called them. They get to learn about their dad's roots and where his family came from. They learn to jump in lakes and sleep with bugs. And when we come home they recognized just how blessed they are.

I did get a couple of shots at a birthday party we went to at a place called PUMP IT UP. And we also had a moive night in our backyard, which was a total blast. DuVall built a wood frame to hang a sheet on, brought a projector home from work, invited some friends over and VOILA, </div><div style="text-align: center;">Movie Night!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Pump It Up!</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BlJyIOrhPTA/TDFdVPdFHvI/AAAAAAAABqc/2b8zbpBSUDs/s320/IMG_6964.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490272040248483570" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BlJyIOrhPTA/TDFdUhhtr4I/AAAAAAAABqU/xE9dSVrNu1M/s320/IMG_6969.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490272027919888258" /><div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BlJyIOrhPTA/TDFdUHOI-yI/AAAAAAAABqM/sS_3sISfmCg/s320/IMG_6974.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490272020858469154" /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Backyard Movie Night!</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BlJyIOrhPTA/TDFd9JpVkuI/AAAAAAAABqs/2gB38TOp26A/s1600/IMG_6975.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BlJyIOrhPTA/TDFd9JpVkuI/AAAAAAAABqs/2gB38TOp26A/s320/IMG_6975.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490272725884048098" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BlJyIOrhPTA/TDFd8sdqlKI/AAAAAAAABqk/4EMLE6oPzH8/s1600/IMG_6980.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BlJyIOrhPTA/TDFd8sdqlKI/AAAAAAAABqk/4EMLE6oPzH8/s320/IMG_6980.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490272718050464930" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6515215372815392928-3781541728271144525?l=9thlaws.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17198794372798661054noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515215372815392928.post-23081070093529751172010-06-11T13:35:00.000-07:002010-06-11T13:49:18.546-07:00<div style="text-align: center;">Today Olivia had her last day of Kindergarten. Although embarrassing, I did cry. I cried yesterday at their end of the year performance as they sang about their ABC'c and numbers, being good friends and bringing harmony to the world. It was so sweet. And then I cried today when we said goodbye to her teacher and watched a slideshow of all the pictures I had taken of her class throughout the year. Silly, I know. But I couldn't help it. I didn't get this emotional when we finished preschool but this feels different. Kindergarten is SUCH A BIG DEAL, and now its over. We are excited for things to come but sad to see this school year end. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Olivia's First Day of Kindergarten</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BlJyIOrhPTA/TBKeX_FsDbI/AAAAAAAABqE/3gC99mUVCIQ/s1600/IMG_4231.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BlJyIOrhPTA/TBKeX_FsDbI/AAAAAAAABqE/3gC99mUVCIQ/s320/IMG_4231.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481617831372787122" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Olivia's Last Day of Kindergarten</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BlJyIOrhPTA/TBKeXbJ9QfI/AAAAAAAABp8/Vr9QuaXd84c/s1600/IMG_6959.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BlJyIOrhPTA/TBKeXbJ9QfI/AAAAAAAABp8/Vr9QuaXd84c/s320/IMG_6959.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481617821727015410" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Bring on the summer fun!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6515215372815392928-2308107009352975117?l=9thlaws.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17198794372798661054noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515215372815392928.post-88319412562224968722010-06-08T09:04:00.000-07:002010-06-08T09:08:47.904-07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-97b9cdb01aaafb97" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v12.nonxt1.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D97b9cdb01aaafb97%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330263680%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D1495185CDC52B94DBFF826FB1FF2916FC2AEBEB4.409426A1045FA67CB7CA6AB8A40DF93AAB10E2ED%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D97b9cdb01aaafb97%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DC0JwpMUbdplC_Hyfc40nKV8Wcss&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v12.nonxt1.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D97b9cdb01aaafb97%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330263680%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D1495185CDC52B94DBFF826FB1FF2916FC2AEBEB4.409426A1045FA67CB7CA6AB8A40DF93AAB10E2ED%26key%3Dck1&iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D97b9cdb01aaafb97%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DC0JwpMUbdplC_Hyfc40nKV8Wcss&autoplay=0&ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /></object></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Seriously sad they don't make these anymore!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6515215372815392928-8831941256222496872?l=9thlaws.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17198794372798661054noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515215372815392928.post-50018358500424582132010-06-03T08:38:00.000-07:002010-06-03T08:54:32.472-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BlJyIOrhPTA/TAfMwyewg0I/AAAAAAAABp0/skIjPH6PVr8/s1600/DSC_0596.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BlJyIOrhPTA/TAfMwyewg0I/AAAAAAAABp0/skIjPH6PVr8/s320/DSC_0596.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478572610276066114" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">This little girl turns six today.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I tried, really I did, to keep her little.

Going month by month, she could almost name them all by herself. When we got through half the year she said "Wait, what about....you know.....that one holiday.....the cookie one?" We were a little confused. I said, "the what, the cookie holiday?" She said, "ya, you know, the more-oreo day". Still a little confused. "You know, the more-oreo day". OH!!!!!! "You mean Memorial Day!" We laughed for quite a while with that one.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">On a serious note, we send our sincerest appreciation and gratitude for those who have given their lives in service to this country and to those who continue to put their lives on the line each day to preserve the freedoms that we all take for granted. And a special thank you to the families of these service men and women. I cannot fathom where our country would be without you.

Second, you must decorate cookies. And third, you must have things that make loud noises and decorations at your PARTY. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> Thanks goodness Olivia's Grannie overheard our conversation. She and Aunt Lauri made it a very special night for Olivia. Complete with a beautiful dress (Thank you Grannie!), cookies to decorate (Thank you Lauri!), and noise makers. They even made party food and pulled out puzzles for some serious fun. It was awesome.

He surprised me with a weekend trip to Moab to go jeeping, something we did a lot while we were dating. It was a wonderful weekend, just the two of us. I was reminded, as I am most everyday, just how lucky I am to be married to my best friend. Both DuVall and I realize just how very blessed these past six years have been. We've had many joys and a few sorrows, both of which have made us stronger. DuVall, I love you more than life itself. Thank you for such a beautiful life.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BlJyIOrhPTA/SpSuIva8YOI/AAAAAAAABPI/rVgEvY3ZEUg/s320/IMG_4259.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374111720551506146" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Reflection from my side mirror.
