Clint's Bucket List Disneyland Vacation Part 2-PICTURES!!!

We have arrived! Thanks to all our family and friends, this will truly be an unforgettable trip for Clint and his family. It's only day one and already the trip has been amazing and over the top. Clint's adventure began by getting to ride in first class on our plan ride to Orange County. He was accompanied by his sweet wife Kelly and four year old daughter Callie. It was a fun experience for them because they have never flew in first class before. Upon arrival to California we were greeted by a man in a suit with a sign that read, "Clint Layton and Family". He lead us outside to a limo and all 10 of us filed into the car and rode in style to the Disneyland resort.

When we arrived at the hotel, we were welcomed by some of the friendliest, most outgoing staff we have all ever met. Two incredible Disney workers, Bridgett and Kacey, immediately came out and helped us with all our arrangements. They followed us up to our rooms and we all had great surprises waiting for us. All of us received the classic Mickey Mouse ears with all of our names on them and the rooms were decked out in Disney insignia. The biggest, best and most over the top room-of course- was Clint and Kelly's.

When they came into their room, there were mickey mouse steps leading to a big living room area covered with confetti, balloons, Disney gear galore and notes to Clint and his family from Mickey Mouse and all the princesses. It was a little overwhelming because the incredible staff at Disney went above and beyond to make this stay exciting and unforgettable. God bless Mr. Walt Disney for creating such an incredible place for families and friends to create memories that will last forever.

Tomorrow we get to go into the park and we have a load of great things still up our sleeves in order for the Layton's to enjoy their stay.

Clint's Bucket List Disneyland Vacation Part 1

You know...I have never liked this time of year. I hate it because I'm sick of the snow and cold and the weather keeps giving you false hopes of a better future lying ahead but it toys with your emotions. One day the weather is warm and beautiful with the hopes of spring and new life around the corner and then another day it stomps on those hopes and spits in your face with a huge snow storm. There's nothing to look forward to, it's miserable and winter seems to have a hard time letting go and allowing spring to take over and present new life and warmth to the earth. Due to a recent turn of events, these feelings at this time of year will forever be symbolic of what we are feeling for our dear friend and cousin Clint Layton.

Just as a recap for those of you who have forgotten or who are new readers to our blog, Clint and Todd are best friends and have been since they were born. Todd and Clint are extremely close and have always, always been there for each other. What's even better, my favorite cousin married Clint and we have been inseparable ever since. It's been so fun to have them with us and have had some many dear memories with them. On March 17th of 2009, Clint was diagnosed with cancer. It's been a lot of ups and downs and I don't know how he and his sweet wife have handled things so well without falling apart. About a month ago, his doctors told him he was 100% in remission. We all sighed with relief, thanking God that this battle was over. He and Kelly have literally been to hell and back.

Last week, Clint was having some problems with his kidneys and went back into the hospital. The doctors examined him and found polyps in that area of his body. These polyps contain a very aggressive form of leukemia which has spread through some of his body and unfortunately there are no more medical procedures that can be done to help him. Medically speaking, this is a lose, lose, lose situation. At this point, it will take a God given miracle for him to survive and we are all hopeful and praying like crazy that if it is God's will, Clint will make it somehow. The doctors have estimated that he has couple of weeks to a couple of months left at the most. His doctor told him that while he is well to enjoy life and do the things he would want to do. Clint called us yesterday with the bad news and he has requested that we go with him and his family to Disneyland. He wants to spend time with those he loves and he wants to see his daughters have a good time.

We have some great things in store for our dear friends on this vacation and we plan on enjoying as much time as we can with him. We are going to celebrate his life and our memories with him and this trip will be something we always hold dear to our hearts. We pray to have the faith and the courage to know and understand God's will for Clint and to have the faith and courage to accept whatever that may be. We know whatever God's will is, will be and when God has made up his mind, there is none who can stop him.

Right now, our posts will be positive and up beat and we will deal with the heartache, loss, and disappointment later. While we still have Clint, we are going to enjoy our time with him and speak of fun memories, laugh, and love each other. For the next couple of days, many family members and friends have requested that we post pictures of everything we are doing so needless to say, our posts are going to be over loaded with pictures. We arrive in Anaheim tomorrow afternoon and we will post some pictures of our adventures together tomorrow night. We are going to have a great time and will love and enjoy every moment we share with Clint Layton. Stay tuned! :)

In love and faith-

Rachel, Todd, and Gabbie

Gabbies best moments of 2010...so far!

Bath time has become a favorite at our house. As soon as we set Gabbie in the tub, she literally goes crazy, splashing the water wildly and screaming. One of our new favorite things she does is she flips onto her tummy and then laps the water up like a dog.

Gabbie has learned to blow kisses and then after she's done, she pats her mouth and sings like a Native American.

We had a little accident a couple of months ago and so we installed a gate at the top of our stairs. When one of us leaves to grab something down stairs really quickly, Gabbie crawls over to the railing, sticks her feet and hands through them like she's in jail and waits until we come back.

Gabbie is laughing hysterically in this picture because she kept grabbing my camera and I kept trying to take it away.

Last night after making sure there wasn't any trouble Gabbie could get into, I quickly ran to the restroom. When I came back, I found that Gabbie had opened our case of wipes and was pulling them all out. She was giggling and screaming the whole time. Naughty, naughty, naughty.

At her ten month appointment, our doctor told us to start giving Gabbie 3 big meals a day so she would get used to eating "meals" with the family. We tried giving her whatever we were eating and she was not disappointed. In this picture she is eating blueberries and what she has trouble picking up with her hands, she just smears all over her high chair.

I know a lot of you have already seen this as my profile pic on Facebook but this is one of my favorite pictures of Gabbie and Todd I have ever taken. I love it!

Sometimes when Gabbie is crawling, she'll stop, lean to the side and pose like a model. She is such a camera hound!

Vancouver 2010

I absolutely love the Olympics! Whenever I hear the Olympic song, I get chills and I sometimes even get tears in my eyes. Call me a sentimental geek but I love it! I love that this is one time where the entire world comes together and unites in an event. I love cheering for every country and I feel bad when people fall or mess up regardless of what country they are from. Even though I don't understand most of the sports that are part of the games (i.e. luging or curling) I watch anxiously as athletes around the world compete. Before I die, I have a goal attend one of my favorite events-women's figure skating.

I love women's figure skating. When I used to watch the games as a kid, I would stay glued to the television as Nancy Kerrigan and Kristi Yamaguchi skated their hearts out. I would then put on my ballet leotards and jump into the air trying to mimic all the fancy jumps and turns. Weird kid, I know! :) I cannot wait for the women's skating event to be on the air!

Speaking of skating, I do have to admit one thing that I 1) don't understand and 2) can't even bear to watch. MEN'S FIGURE SKATING. Um...What the heck? As hard as I try I cannot take these men seriously. Sure, they all have butts I could only dream of having and they are so dang good on the ice but really...mens' figure skating? There's something about them prancing around on the ice that just makes me roll my eyes. I have nothing against guys participating in artsy events. HECK! I was a dancer for a long time and I had to dance with guys all the time. I even enjoy watching men's gymnastics in the summer Olympics and I'll admit I get a laugh out of Drag Queens. But figure skating? I wonder if the rest of the manly-men in the Olympics give these skaters crap in the Olympic Village in Vancouver. I'm just going to say it but maybe sometimes some events should just be left to the women to compete in in the games.

All this stuff for under $150...deals to meals, how I love you! Let me count the ways!

Julie and Julia...my inspiration for New Year's Resolutions!

Have any of you seen this show? This has to be one of my most favorite movies. I always know when I love a movie when I see it more than once. I've heard from quite a few people how great this show was and so I finally gave it and rented it on Netflix and all I can say is that I was really missing out. I loved it! I loved the story line but most of all I loved the message that it portrayed. You are never too old to start doing what you love and with hard work and dedication you can do what you dream of doing. This movie was incredibly inspirational to me (is that weird?) and has pumped me up for my big list of New Year's resolutions.

New Year resolutions...so many goals made and so many goals broken. Actually, I am pretty good at reaching my goals but I always set too many of them for myself and then get super frustrated when I don't achieve everything. I have finally realized that I keep setting super unrealistic expectations for myself and don't really set goals for myself that I either A) enjoy doing or B) want to do. I think that is why this movie rang true to my heart because both women in the movie achieved huge life goals that they had a passion for and they wanted to accomplish them versus doing something because they "had" to do it. In the movie, a New York government worker, Julie Powell is bored with her mediocre life and decides to challenge herself by cooking each of Julia Child's 524 recipes in her world renown cookbook , "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" in one year and at the same time, she blogs about her experiences. While the movie shares her story, you also get a look into the life of Julia Child and it's interesting because some of the same things Julie Powell goes through in her life, Julia Child also had encountered in hers. Super, super cute and super, super inspirational...at least for me! :)

Aside from the typical New Year's Resoultions like losing another 10 pounds and becoming more organized, I am making a vow to myself to try a few new things each year for the rest of my life. My "wish list" of things I want to do someday include some of the following: learn French, learn how to surf, travel around Europe, run a marathon, buy a Disney timeshare for fun family vacations and learn how to ballroom dance. I have so many things I want to do and I am not going to get to do them if I just sit around wishing I had more time or money.

I had this idea when I first entered college that at the age of 18, I had to know right then and there what I was going to do for the rest of my life and then I ended up getting a degree in something I didn't like and didn't want to do. For now on, I am going to learn things I want to learn about and then do them. Many of you know I have developed a keen interest in photography so this year I plan on becoming well versed and not just a amatuer but hopefully a serious hobbyist. Someday I would love to open my own studio but until then, I have a lot of practicing to do and a lot of techinique to learn.

I also love to cook! I don't want to rip off Miss Julie Powell (who is a real person btw) and cook all 524 recipes from Julia Child's book but I want to learn how to become a "good" cook. I think I have some things down when it comes to cooking but I want to learn how to do things properly so the recipes turn out the way they are supposed to. Along the subject of food, this year I am going to get a full year's worth of food storage AND I am going to learn how to cook with it. Lately thanks to http://www.dealstomeals.com/ I have been super obsessed with food storage and I am pumped and motivated to collect enough food to last me and my family for a year.

Lastly, I plan on training for a half marathon. I have started training and it's pretty tough. You have to run so many miles per week and it's kicking my butt! No wonder runners are so fit!

Stay tuned...I am very motivated on achieving this goals but hopefully I'll stay this way!

One of my favorite things to see!

Each time I go to get Gabbie out of her crib after a nap, this is what I see. I love seeing this! Being a mom is the best decision I have ever made!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

For me, Christmas holds a lot of great, happy memories that are near and dear to my heart. I want more than anything for my children to have great memories of love and family in our home so this year has been especially fun creating new memories and carrying on family traditions with Gabbie. I bought a book at the beginning of November called, "Twelve Days of Christmas: Ideas for a more meaningful holiday season" by Betty Van Orden. This author and her husband wanted to create valuable memories for their children and grandchildren and came up with many ideas to instill in their family memories of love and togetherness. I loved it and I hope as Gabbie gets older and we have one or two more kids, we can also create fun, loving memories for them. These are some of the traditions new and old we have participated in this year...so far! More to come!


There are a few Christmas goodies I love to eat every year and this is a new one we've added to our list: peppermint bark popcorn. It is literally one of the best things I have ever tasted and I've made it for a few friends and family and it's received great reviews. I didn't come up with it on my own, I saw it on one of my favorite websites, www.ourbestbites.com and I can't get enough of it!

This year we decided to try out Thanksgiving Points Holiday Lights. It costs $8 per car to drive through and see the lights and it is so worth it! Gabbie kept turning her head left and right looking at all the lights. I would highly recommend going with your family!

Yes, my daughter is only 8 months and will have no recollection of going to see Santa for the first time but I HAD to take her. She did great! She loves meeting new people anyways so for her, Santa was no exception. The Santa was darling and gave Gabbie a little memory book that he signed for her to always remember her first visit to see him.

A fun memory my side of the family has is that we eat Chinese food around my parents Christmas tree with Christmas music and eat dinner eliminated only by the lights of the tree. I love it!

Something new we also tried this year was Hogle Zoo's, Zoo Lights. DARLING! And sooo worth it! We were very cold but it was fun and we had a great time. The above picture is of my dear friend Jessica and her adorable family. I love you Jess!

Gabbie and Daddy enjoying the lights at Zoo Lights. Being a first time, paranoid mom, Gabbie had about 10 layers of clothes on and it paid off! She didn't cry once and did really well considering how cold it was.

I'm always looking for more Christmas ideas. Do any of you have fun things to share with me that we could use for our family?

Christmas songs that need to go...

Okay...I admit it! I am one of those weirdos who as soon as Halloween is over, I pull out my Christmas music and start listening to it. I love Christmas music! It is some of the most beautiful music around and we only get to listen to it once a year so why is it a crime to listen to it early? After listening to it for almost two months, I hate to say it but I get so sick of some of the songs out there. I mean seriously, what were some of those artists thinking? These are some of the songs, in my opinion, that MUST go in no particular order:
1) Simply having a wonderful Christmas time by Paul McCartney...GAG
2) Last Christmas I gave you my heart by Wham...lame, lame, lame!
3) Christmas Shoe song by New Song...am I the only one who thinks this is the STUPIDEST song ever written? I get it's supposed to tug at your heartstrings but everytime I hear it, I want to throw something at the radio.
4) Do They Know it's Christmas? By Band Aid...I'd like to know what person gets in the holiday spirit by listening to this dumb song
5) War is over by John Lennon...okay, I know it's a classic AND John Lennon sings it but I get so sick of hearing it over and over again.
6) Any Christmas song by Bob Seger...this guy shouldn't be allowed to write Christmas songs
7) Little Drummer Boy by David Bowie and Bing Cosby... I normally love Bing Cosby but this song is a fail!
8) All I want for Christmas is you by Mariah Carey...Can you say, OVERPLAYED?

There you have it. My list of songs that should go. Honestly, why can't the radio stations just play the good, old Christmas classics all the time instead of this new age crap? Anyone else think the same?

Making Christmas cookies this season? Check this out...

For anyone who knows me knows that I love to bake. I especially love cookie sweets for family and friends and I don't even necessarily like eating them but making them. I saw a really cool cookie accessory on TV and I am so excited to try it out. In numerous cooking magazines I always see darling cookies but I don't want to spend a ton of time making them look cute only to have them gobbled up in a matter of seconds. These accessories are wafer paper that you put on top of frosting minus on the work it takes to get magazine worthy cookies. LOVE IT!

Keys, cellphones, measuring cups=Toys for Gabbie

Why is everything that is NOT a toy is the thing that kids love the most? Gabbie has tons and tons of toys yet without fail whenever we have our cellphones out, she sees my car keys, or she sees some paper somewhere that is the thing she decides she wants to make into a toy. I don't get it! Ahhh the innocence of being a kid! :)

Deals to Meals SHOUT OUT!

I have a new obsession that I am so excited about. A buddy of mine from college helps her sister out with a service called Deals to Meals. I love it! They look at what's on sale at all the major grocery stores in Utah, tell you what to stock up on based what is on sale, provide a meal plan for the week and include food storage tips. The idea behind this is that as you stock up on foods you use that are on sale, you build your food storage and then eventually don't have to spend as much on groceries each week because you use what you have. I think this is ingenius! I used to spend over $100 each week but now using this method, I only spend about $50-$80 for a weeks worth of meals. Better yet, the meal plans they provide are absolutely delicious. Todd and I got into this rut of eating the same things over and over again but now we have some new favorites by utilizing Deals to Meals. I'm obsessed and I want to tell everyone about it! They offer two weeks free and if you like their service, it costs $4.95/month and I tell you, it is sooo worth it! They also look at the deals in grocery stores for other states and they are continuing to expand so please, please check it out! Go to www.dealstomeals.com for more info. They also have a meal blog and a food storage blog with great tips and excellent recipes.

Taking a new path...

I've said many times before that I have NO idea why I picked the degree I received in college. I don't even like science and I didn't love what I did for a living. With the exception of working with my awesome students and Rachel and Elizabeth, being a Health Educator was not my dream job. I have always wanted to do something artsy-fartsy and I am determined that the next job I get will be doing something I love whether it be design, photography, or who knows what! Being a sweet hubby, Todd has always encouraged me to do what I love and I've been telling him for years that I would love to try my hand at photography. For Christmas, he bought me an early (and only) present- a digital SLR camera. I love the thing! I now have a greater respect for photographers because to take good pictures, it takes more than just clicking and shooting. You have to understand certain settings, lighting, and a bunch of other stuff to make a photo look good. I'm having a fun time learning how to use it and I finally, finally took my first "good" picture the other day. I would love for this to develop into something bigger as I get better and more advanced with my camera.

Cousin Love

Gabbie and her cousin Tristan had a play day with Grandma and Grandpa Crane today while my sis-in-law Holly and I had a girl's day out. Grandpa Bob loves taking pictures and this one totally makes me laugh. I hope Tristan and Gabbie become very, very close! Thank you Mike and Holly for having one more baby so Gabbie has at least one first cousin her age!

Happy Halloween!

We had a great time celebrating Gabbie's first Halloween this year. We love this holiday and we had a blast starting some fun family traditions. My sister in law Holly and niece Tristan came in from London and we were able to get together and take pictures of our girls in their costumes and eat Halloween Chili and cornbread. We then went up to my parents house to trick or treat and visit and then we spent the remainder of the night at the Laytons.

Tessa, Gabbie and Callie after trick or treating. I guess the babies couldn't wait to eat their candy.

Cousin Tristy-Lu and Gabbie. Evidently Gabbie can't sit still in this picture.

I hope, hope, hope this is not evidence of things to come or she will be a fat chick.

Nana, Papa, and a new grandpuppy.

I guess eating candy bar wrappers wasn't good enough so Gabbie tried eating some leaves too.

New Puppy

Not REALLY a new puppy. Just Gabbie dressed up as one for Halloween. In all of the pictures we took of her, she looks so unhappy because she hated the head piece. Oh well! Sometimes looking good comes with a price Gabbie girl!

Kicking for Cancer

Todd and I had the awesome opportunity to help out in a fundraiser for our friend/cousin, Clint Layton. I'm sure you've all heard a story about someone with cancer and the medical costs that one can incur because of the illness and the pricey procedures. Clint is no exception and it's been frustrating for him and his family because they have had to jump through so many hoops to receive insurance coverage and care. Clint recently had to have a bone marrow transplant that was around $400,000-and that's WITH insurance. Crazy huh? As friends and family we planned a huge fundraising event in Clint's honor. We invited residents of Davis County to participate in a 3 on 3 soccer tournament and Viewmont High School alumni game. We had many sponsors and companies donate money and prizes and at the end of the day, we were able to raise close to $30,000 for Clint and his family. Clint unfortunately was unable to attend the event because he was in the hospital and he is doing well and he was released today and is now at home with his beautiful wife and two daughters. We love you Clint! Keep fighting buddy!

Pumpkin picking time!

I absolutely LOVE this time of year. I have so many great memories of fall and Halloween as a kid and I am determined to give Gabbie fun things to remember. By our house there are a couple of "real" pumpkin patches. For the past 3 years, Todd and I have been going to one close by our home and we used to talk about how someday we would be bringing our baby with us to pick out pumpkins for Halloween.

Kanye West...What a jerk!

This entry is a little out of character for my blog so I apologize if any of you are bored. I am sure that all of you have either seen or heard on the news about the kerfuffle with Kanye West and Taylor Swift on the MTV Video Music Award Show (VMA'S) that aired Sunday night. Quite frankly, his behavior really, really pissed me off. Who in the world does that guy think he is? He has been on the news many, many times for behaving like an arrogant jerk and this previous little act of his makes me so disgusted with Hollywood and the celebrity vermin that live there. Many of my friends on FaceBook are colleagues and students I was aquainted with at the University of Utah and over the past couple of days, there has been a lot of discussion on this issue. For the most part, people are disgusted with his behavior but then there are some radical individuals who are excusing his behavior as an act of social justice. WHAT?

Not sure what social justice is? Let me explain. Social justice is a term that is used to describe both a philosphical debate and an important issue in politics, religion and civil society. Most individuals wish to live in a just society, but each political set of aims and ideas has its own concept of what constitutes a "just society". Social justice is also a concept that some use to describe the movement towards a socially just world. In this context, social justice is based on the concepts of human rights and equality. Let's be honest. The United States of America and our political system is NOT just. Not every racial and ethnic group is treated equally in terms of opportunity and status. Most people of color do not have the same opportunities as a white person does. It's true! When you look at the demographics at any college in the U.S., caucasians are the highest percentage of students followed by Asians, Pacific Islanders, Latinos and then African Americans and Native Americans are the lowest. Also, African Americans tend to suffer more from debilitating illnesses than any other group combined. WHY? It's not because they are lazy or unhealthy, they don't have the same access to healthcare and education as other groups do. This country was made to serve caucasians (which is total bull crap) and our brothers and sisters of color have reaped the unfortunate consequences of facing stereotyping, racism, and prejudices against them every single day.

Since the civil rights act, many groups have started to really "stick it to the man" by speaking up against racism and stereotyping. When I worked at the U, I attended many trainings on social justice and I am glad that I was taught to recognize the priviledges I enjoy as a white person. Quite honestly, from a historical perspective, the whites have always pillaged and plundered racial and ethnic groups AND continue to do so. I will never know what it means to feel oppressed. My entire life I have never had to defend my race. I have received excellent healthcare and I got to go to college. Because because people of color have to constantly face issues of racism, stereotyping, and prejudice, I am usually one to applaud a person when they make a stand against my own people (the whites) when someone says or does something out of line. I think all white people should be called on their priviledges and learn to recognize it. I believe by doing so, we can help to reduce inequality.

Now back to Mr. Kanye West. I do not believe what he did was right. I thought it was very, very rude and arrogant. Some people I have seen on FaceBook applaud him for sticking it to a white country girl but why was that necessary? I don't think his aim was to call someone on their priviledge, I think he was being a total jerk! For whatever reason, he thinks he is important enough to take the microphone away from Taylor Swift on national television and tell the world that someone else should have received the award. WHAT? I think people can and do cross the line of calling someone on their bullcrap to just being disrespectful and down right mean. What in the world was unjust about the VMA's for people to take the Kanye West/Taylor Swift issue so far as a social justice issue? Give me a break! Kanye West behaved like an immature, arrogant, spoiled star and his action, in my opinion, was despicable.

Rice cereal, trip to the aquarium, and carpal tunnel

That's a random title isn't it? A lot has been going on at the Crane household. We went to Gabbie's four month appointment and her doc gave us the okay to try rice cereal if she was interested. Was she ever! I was a little surprised at how well she was able to get the whole eating with her tongue thing down and she gobbled her rice cereal right up. Now whenever we sit down to eat as a family, she watches us eat our "grown up" food intently and sometimes opens her mouth as if we are supposed to share with her. Sorry baby! Not quite time for that milestone yet! She is even making yummy sounds when we feed her her cereal. I love my little girl!

Recently some darling girls in my ward/neighborhood invited us along to go to the aquarium in Sandy. I didn't think Gabbie would enjoy what was going on but she was alert and looked at all the fish and colors. I ended up buying a yearly pass because it is $8 to go once and $16 for a season pass. I figured you go twice and the pass is paid for plus it will give us something to do during the doldrums of winter. The aquarium is pretty cute and actually pretty good considering the fact we live in Utah. I look forward to doing more things like this with Gabbie and teaching her about the big world she lives in. She loves to get out and socialize and look at everything around her.

Lastly, Todd had to have surgery on his right hand for Carpal Tunnel. YUCK! It is acutally a very simple procedure but it's left him sore and unable to adequately use his hand for a while. For a few days he couldn't hold Gabbie and he had to wear a splint that he was supposed to keep elevated for a couple of days. His hand has been hurting him for quite a while and I am glad we got the surgery done for him so he is able to work without pain. The medication he has to take to prevent it from throbbing makes him really loopy and sometimes he'll say some pretty funny things to me and I have to ask him if he has any idea what he just said. Poor guy!
