Happy Valentine’s Day!
My wife made me cupcakes for Valentine’s Day. Yummy yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Oh! The little things in life that come with a big heart!
What was your favorite thing of today!? -
Jumping For Joy
Our son jumps for joy as he runs back from making a goal during his game over the weekend. Take note parents - the first game I told him I’d pay him $1 for each goal he made, he made one goal. The second game, he made 2 goals for $2.00. $3.00 in one week for a 5 year old isn’t bad!
I’m hoping a little motivation/bribe increases his confidence, in addition to giving him a way to earn a little money since he can’t mow the lawn yet, and I don’t consider chores, i.e. things he should be doing anyways (making bed, cleaning room, etc) worthy of extra money outside of allowance. We have fun, and he seems to be having fun with it. After this photo he told me, “Call Mom and tell her I made another goal!” -
Sunset Waves
I just can’t win. During Winter I dream of Hawaii, and when I’m in Hawaii, I’m dreaming of snow. Well, all I know is that I don’t want to leave these Sunset Waves behind. On a beautiful afternoon at Sunset Beach on Oahu’s North Shore, surfers are carving it up, and I’m enjoying the time with the family playing in the water. I think I got it - I have the best of both worlds!

Continuing our Zion National Park weekend, one of our days we decided that we’d challenge Angels Landing - a hike which takes a lot of guts to complete. Angels Landing is a 5 mile hike which presents gorgeous views and dizzying drop-offs as you gain about 1488 feet of elevation and walk some portions along a 1200 foot sheer cliff.
Pictured here is another view of Zion Canyon - imagine this area all underwater, and then millions of years later, this green area below a lake bed. After the lake drained out, the Virgin River carved out the canyon which we see now. As part of the Grand Staircase of sedimentary rock, the oldest layer of Zion Canyon is the newest layer of rock in the Grand Canyon. Wow! What a progression!
