February Happenings....And blog advice?

Wow--trying out a new system for posting on the blog as soon as I download the pictures. How do you guys do it? I am trying not to fall behind again ;). Does it take you FOREVER to upload videos? I think maybe I will go back to using youtube...

Feb.1st--got to see Mom & Dad for one day at Santa Monica pier during their layover from the Antartica Cruise!!
Feb.4th--CJ bday dinner at Red Robin! He flew in from work in San Fran just in time for his own party! ;0)
Feb.6th--Kennidy's 2nd Piano recital--all 3 songs memorized and performed perfectly! (Far better than her mother ever did!)
Feb.12th--our new favorite FREE attraction here in the O.C.--Irvine Great Balloon ride and Family Ice Skating--balloon goes up 400 feet with views to the ocean! We went with 3 other families from church and between us and all our kids, we nearly sold out the 8pm skate time slot!
Feb.15th--Loved celebrating President's Day off with 20,000 other people at the San Diego Zoo (wish I was joking)! For $5 the kids got to hand-feed giraffes! Look at that long BLACK tongue! It measures almost 2 feet! So glad cousin Jared and his AMAZING wife Amy could join us for some SoCal tourist fun--San Diego Mission was first one established back in 1776!
February--can't even remember the date cuz it was insane, but this is what my friend Heather looked like on the tram after 9 hours at Disneyland with 8 kids under 9 and us two adults--PARTY TIME! ;)
February--Madi started Rec League Basketball with Chris as her coach and 3 good friends on her team!

2010-Starting Fresh for the New Year!

Okay, so we've lost most of 2008 and all of 2009, but here's to 2010! (I am so sorry we had that darn bird on our blog for OVER A YEAR! ha ha ;0) Here's how we are starting off the new year-Carter driving like a wild man with his good friend at Disney's Autopia, Chris on his mountain bike on a gorgeous California WINTER day, a Beehive activity with my Stake YW Board whom I spend A LOT of time with ;0), Madison at her Children's Gym Class, McKinley on my lap at a Boot Camp I joined with some friends, Kennidy at her 2nd Piano Recital ever and the new Kari & Sean Duncan family in Arizona! We also grabbed some 'girl shots' before the wedding!
