Mike's kitchen and off to San Diego!

Mike wakes up at with me at 4:45 in the morning (most mornings that is) and while I go to the gym, he stays home and watches the Create channel. He loves to watch the cooking shows, and a couple of weeks ago, they made calzones. Well ever since then, Mike has been wanting to make them. He made pizza calzones a week ago, and this past weekend, it was cordon bleu calzones. They are so yummy, and the kids had a great time helping him with the pizza dough. It's not the best picture, but it was the only one I had with all three kids in it. You should see Mason's face light up when he realizes that he gets to work with real food, instead of just pretending.Mike and I are off to San Diego tomorrow morning. This is like a dream come true for us. Our 10th anniversary is in March, so this is like an early anniversary trip. Mike had to go for some training for work, and luckily, we had enough Sky Miles to buy my ticket. So, the trip will end up costing very little, considering his work is paying for the hotel and his food. Mike will come home Friday, and I'll be staying two extra days. My sister, who lives in Palm Springs will be driving to San Diego, and my mom and sister in law, who live here will be flying down Friday morning. The rest of the weekend will be a girls weekend.
We will be going to the temple on Friday, which I'm really excited about. It will be pretty amazing to see this temple in person.



I'm really looking forward to this trip. The kids will be in good hands while we are gone. I keep wanting to pinch myself to see if this is real, because right now, it seems so surreal, but tomorrow, when we are on the plane heading off to 70 degree weather, it will be reality to me.

You will have such a wonderful time!!!! The temple is simply gorgeous...It was a dream of mine to see it in person. I still regret that we were not able to go inside since we went to see the temple on a Sunday, but it was still just beautiful and we could still feel the spirit just being there on the grounds. I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!!!

Entertainment

These photos were taken about a month ago. The snow is now all gone, Yeah! I tried to shovel a path through the snow so the kids could get to the playset to play. When Mason saw what I was doing, he immediatley took over shoveling. He shoveled for at least an hour, piling snow into the grey bucket. If the girls even tried to have a turn, he let them know it was his shovel. I'm sure he felt like he was a backhoe, moving dirt. That is his dream job.

Scotlyn's Birthday Party

Scotlyn's birthday is this coming Thursday, but because her birthday always falls around General Conference time, we try to have her party the week before conference. She has been counting down the days until her party all week. It was a lot of fun, and was so nice to have her party outside this year. Every year on her birthday, the weather has been cold, until this year. This is a picture of her a couple of days ago, when she decided she was going to build a hot air balloon and fly to Salt Lake. She packed a change of clothes in her backpack and took food with her in the box. She also had a few toys with her, but when she was ready to fly, she realized that there was not room for her to sit in the box. She kept saying to me, "Mom, this is really going to work. I'm going to Salt Lake, I'll be back later". It was too cute. She never did make it to Salt Lake, but she didn't seem too disappointed that she didn't fly. I love how at this age, they lo...
