And there are prizes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This weekend should be pretty fun, Bear's brother, wife and kids are coming to stay with us! We love having visitors! Everybody have a fun weekend and don't study to hard...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. we will be giving ice cream out to the students next week on Wednesday and Thursday!

I can hardly wait for the day that Bear and I (but mostly Bear, he's going to be making the $$$) graduate! The new student government has been chosen! &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Justin Watkins&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; will serve as president with &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Alma Walker&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; as president elect! We are very excited for these guys to take our positions because we know they will do a great job and represent the students well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This weekend Bear and I are helping with graduation and we might do a bonfire afterwords with some friends of ours. I love this good weather! This summer Bear and I are planning on spending as much time outdoors as we can in between studying and work. I am really looking forward to it. I can't wait to scope out some good fishing holes! Everybody have a great weekend and don't work too hard! :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7368507357714103925-2566975469213797676?l=usubc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/feeds/2566975469213797676/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2010/04/elections.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/2566975469213797676'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/2566975469213797676'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2010/04/elections.html' title='Elections'/><author><name>hello. we are Clair and McKinzie Hawkins. welcome to our life as students.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07494002719466159950</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/SuoZPGgi2dI/AAAAAAAAACo/M_1WQUzhKuc/S220/n1241507815_328364_1581.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368507357714103925.post-3658338908973332993</id><published>2010-04-08T10:02:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-08T10:02:27.848-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/S74MFXOcorI/AAAAAAAAAHY/aG2-1BIW96k/s1600/24970_1438210355542_1241507815_1249404_286347_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/S74MFXOcorI/AAAAAAAAAHY/aG2-1BIW96k/s320/24970_1438210355542_1241507815_1249404_286347_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457813084693111474" border="0" /&gt;Here is Jaxton!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7368507357714103925-3658338908973332993?l=usubc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/feeds/3658338908973332993/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2010/04/here-is-jaxton.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/3658338908973332993'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/3658338908973332993'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2010/04/here-is-jaxton.html' title=''/><author><name>hello. we are Clair and McKinzie Hawkins. welcome to our life as students.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07494002719466159950</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/SuoZPGgi2dI/AAAAAAAAACo/M_1WQUzhKuc/S220/n1241507815_328364_1581.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/S74MFXOcorI/AAAAAAAAAHY/aG2-1BIW96k/s72-c/24970_1438210355542_1241507815_1249404_286347_n.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368507357714103925.post-7022454910972818011</id><published>2010-04-08T09:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-08T10:01:57.432-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Winners</title><content type='html'>The Blood Battle was a huge success! We had 52 people donate and collected 43 units of Aggie blood. But...we didn't win! Tooele took the cake this year! Way too go Tooele. And thanks to all that participated. We will have to try again next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our time in student government is coming to a close. We have given out the applications and this week will be interviewing. Time has really flown by! I guess that is what happens when you are extremely busy all the time! This week we have been getting everything lined up for our trap shooting competition. Get your buddies and come join us on May 1st! We have fliers and displays around campus so you can gather all of the information, but it should be a really fun activity.  Prizes will be given away too! March Madness was a success! Jerry Shepherd won the Aggie Gear, somebody won the Skullcandy (we only have his email), and for the final prize, Derrik Nelson won the I Pod! Way to go!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This weekend Bear and I are traveling to....Idaho again! Imagine that. Bear has another physical therapist appointment. Cross your fingers we hear good news this time! I am very excited to see my cute little nephew! He needs to know that I am his&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; favorite &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;aunt! If you knew my family you would know that they are all baby hogs. So I have decided that I am going to be aggressive and keep him all to myself! Anyways, everybody have a great weekend and hang in there. We are almost done with this semester!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7368507357714103925-7022454910972818011?l=usubc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/feeds/7022454910972818011/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2010/04/here-is-jaxton-blood-battle-was-huge.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/7022454910972818011'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/7022454910972818011'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2010/04/here-is-jaxton-blood-battle-was-huge.html' title='Winners'/><author><name>hello. we are Clair and McKinzie Hawkins. welcome to our life as students.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07494002719466159950</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/SuoZPGgi2dI/AAAAAAAAACo/M_1WQUzhKuc/S220/n1241507815_328364_1581.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368507357714103925.post-3443949090414916680</id><published>2010-03-26T15:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-26T15:18:45.537-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/S60ypQaLcTI/AAAAAAAAAHI/HxCvUz2zQrM/s1600/DSC_0097.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/S60ypQaLcTI/AAAAAAAAAHI/HxCvUz2zQrM/s200/DSC_0097.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453070408176333106" border="0" /&gt;We are now into our color photography!

I hope you all had tons of fun. Bear worked all week and I did all of my spring cleaning! It was so nice to get that accomplished! I cannot believe we are 6 weeks away from the END. I love being in college when you can finish a class in 4 months unlike high school where its usually 6 months or year round. Bear will be taking classes again this summer but I chose not to this time. I am looking forward to being a wife and hopefully keeping our garden &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;alive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; this summer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This weekend Bear is going shooting with his buddy Abe. I decided to opt out this time and go to lunch with my cousins! We are all about the same age and have way too much fun whenever we get together. We are just a bunch of giggly girls. Then on Saturday night Bear and I are going to a comedy show! Maybe this way I won't have to exercise on Saturday, they say laughing is one of the best exercises for your abs. I don't know about you, but I much rather laugh than exercise. Oh, so I think Bear mentioned that I would post some of my photography pictures on our blog so I will do that today! Hope you all have a great weekend!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7368507357714103925-2641379350929744981?l=usubc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/feeds/2641379350929744981/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2010/03/ha-ha-ha.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/2641379350929744981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/2641379350929744981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2010/03/ha-ha-ha.html' title='Ha Ha Ha'/><author><name>hello. we are Clair and McKinzie Hawkins. welcome to our life as students.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07494002719466159950</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/SuoZPGgi2dI/AAAAAAAAACo/M_1WQUzhKuc/S220/n1241507815_328364_1581.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368507357714103925.post-296047989224054212</id><published>2010-03-09T09:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-11T15:53:05.489-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/S5mCVk0-5XI/AAAAAAAAAGI/ZWY1IxLRAM0/s1600-h/mongolian+visit.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 192px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/S5mCVk0-5XI/AAAAAAAAAGI/ZWY1IxLRAM0/s320/mongolian+visit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447528531456091506" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have got a lot to say, but I am a man of few words.  So we will see how this pans out.&lt;br /&gt;First off, last week at about this time, 10:30 for all of you who can't read my mind, a whole bunch of diplomats from Mongolia came over to our campus to see how we run the best regional campus in the state.  Well, that was partially my opinion. It was cool to see all non-English speaking folk walk around the school, but the best part about it was that I could talk to them, and nobody else could.  Pretty cool huh? Well, back in the day when USSR was in power, Mongolians learned Russian in school.  Since I know Russian, I was invited to speak with them and even go to обед (lunch) with them.  It was definitely a pleasure to meet them and be able to talk with them.  I felt kinda bad for everybody else that had to wait for a translation or had to just chill and watch.  It was a great experience.&lt;br /&gt;This last Saturday, we went with the snow club for a ride down the Mantua hill.  Get this, it's pronounced man-a-way.  Weird right?  Anyway, we went up there with some sleds and snowboards and tried our hand at sledding.  It was only my second time ever to go down a hill with a board strapped to my feet but we gave it a whirl.  I think everybody had fun.  I did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if I had the internet at home, I would have got online that evening and posted something about this next part.  We went to the last b-ball game of the season Saturday evening.  Boy was it fun.  It was so loud! Everybody was having fun.  Of course we won!  I will just have to say that when we left, my voice was about gone and my ears were ringing.  Now that's a good game.  I love the chants that we have.  "Is that the score board? Yes that is the score board.  Is that 81 (usually some big number) to 63 (some small number)"  haha  While everybody points, "winning team, loosing team" over and over.  I'm usually not a jerk and I don't turn around when the other team comes out, but it makes you feel so GOOD!  That and "up by 30!" these are my favorite.  You just want to make sure they realize who is better and who's fans are better.  We aren't jerks, we are just good fans.  So that was my highlight!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7368507357714103925-296047989224054212?l=usubc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/feeds/296047989224054212/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2010/03/i-have-got-lot-to-say-but-i-am-man-of.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/296047989224054212'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/296047989224054212'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2010/03/i-have-got-lot-to-say-but-i-am-man-of.html' title=''/><author><name>hello. we are Clair and McKinzie Hawkins. welcome to our life as students.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07494002719466159950</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/SuoZPGgi2dI/AAAAAAAAACo/M_1WQUzhKuc/S220/n1241507815_328364_1581.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/S5mCVk0-5XI/AAAAAAAAAGI/ZWY1IxLRAM0/s72-c/mongolian+visit.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368507357714103925.post-7865885572202547815</id><published>2010-02-27T21:36:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-27T21:40:16.625-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/S4oBtII6G7I/AAAAAAAAAF4/Is21je_dxrY/s1600-h/DSC_0519.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/S4oBtII6G7I/AAAAAAAAAF4/Is21je_dxrY/s320/DSC_0519.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443164974421253042" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go Aggies!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7368507357714103925-7865885572202547815?l=usubc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/feeds/7865885572202547815/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2010/02/go-aggies.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/7865885572202547815'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/7865885572202547815'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2010/02/go-aggies.html' title=''/><author><name>hello. we are Clair and McKinzie Hawkins. welcome to our life as students.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07494002719466159950</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/SuoZPGgi2dI/AAAAAAAAACo/M_1WQUzhKuc/S220/n1241507815_328364_1581.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/S4oBtII6G7I/AAAAAAAAAF4/Is21je_dxrY/s72-c/DSC_0519.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368507357714103925.post-2291419435718764020</id><published>2010-02-27T21:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-01T10:33:45.507-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Pippi Longstocking</title><content type='html'>This week has been pretty smooth sailing for Bear and I. We were stoked to come to school on Wednesday and find out that our class was canceled, we actually had a chance to work on some homework. Unfortunately though we have a test in that class this coming week and we had no review. Ick. Psychology is really not are cup of tea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So two weeks ago we went to Idaho for some reason I can't remember why but we were cruising through Shelly and Bear spotted an "A" for Aggies on a cement wall down by the river! So we made  a u-e&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/S4oA2qWkEiI/AAAAAAAAAFw/Ynq0iN7bVo8/s1600-h/pippi1%5B1%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 169px; height: 311px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/S4oA2qWkEiI/AAAAAAAAAFw/Ynq0iN7bVo8/s320/pippi1%5B1%5D.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443164038712529442" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;e and snapped a shot of it, which I will post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are in Idaho again this weekend because Bear and I both had doctor appointments. We have been having tons of fun with the family. My brother and I got to chit chatting about our childhood and we remembered this time that we decided to mop the kitchen floors. Inspired by Pippi Longstocking, we tied sponges to our feet, dumped way too many suds on the floor, and tugged the garden hose into the house. Our parents left us alone. Bad move right there! But miraculously, our parents never found out and were actually pleased with the clean kitchen floor!

I will post a few of our pictures next week, I forgot my camera today. Even though we didn't have classes Monday it has been one hectic week. At Little Brigham Aggies we had  a few employees that had things come up so the rest of us were busy filling in their shifts, but I do like the extra hours &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;$$$&lt;/span&gt;! Bear has been busy keeping up with his classes trying hard not to fall behind. I &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;should&lt;/span&gt; be doing the same thing. hmmm. Looks like that is what I will be doing this weekend!&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Bear is all sorts of excited because he gets to hang out with his buddy Bryan this weekend and they are going to go snow machining (Bear's absolute &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;favorite&lt;/span&gt; thing to do)! Bryan's wife and I are going to stay at her place and make food for when the boys come back. She went to culinary school so I am hoping she shows me her tricks of the trade! I really enjoy &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cooking&lt;/span&gt; I just wish I had more time to do it and experiment with new recipes. I think it is easy to do the same recipes all the time because you know that both you and your spouse like them and if you try something new and don't like it, in our case, there is no time to re-make another meal. I'm bound and determined so I will...someday! :) You guys have a great weekend and hopefully next week will be more exciting to write/read about!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7368507357714103925-18113983685802798?l=usubc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/feeds/18113983685802798/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2010/02/little-more-about-us.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/18113983685802798'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/18113983685802798'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2010/02/little-more-about-us.html' title='A Little More About Us'/><author><name>hello. we are Clair and McKinzie Hawkins. welcome to our life as students.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07494002719466159950</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/SuoZPGgi2dI/AAAAAAAAACo/M_1WQUzhKuc/S220/n1241507815_328364_1581.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368507357714103925.post-4825526535441407070</id><published>2010-02-11T08:23:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-11T08:55:13.870-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Buns of Steel</title><content type='html'>Last weekend was a success for our movie day we had 415 people attend. Thanks to all of you that participated! Clair and I went to "When in Rome" and I have to say, not my favorite. But it was free so I can't complain right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just in case you haven't heard, we have our very own physical trainer on campus for students. She is excellent and wants to help everybody no matter how much or how little you have to work on. Her schedule is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monday 6:30am, 11:30, 12:30, 1:30, 8:00pm&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday 6:15 am&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday 6:30am, 11:30, 12:30, 1:30, 4:45pm&lt;br /&gt;Friday 6:30am, 11:30, 12:30, 1:30pm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonus: There is &lt;strong&gt;NO&lt;/strong&gt; fee attached!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am excited for this weekend not only because I get to spend time with my cuddly Bear but our neices and nephew will be staying with us, we are the babysitters. If that doesn't scare ya I don't know what will! We're going to make sugar cookies, I'll probably be find frosting in places I didn't know existed but it will be a good time! Bear's brothers are also going to be staying with us so we are going to have a house full this weekend. Everybody have a good Valentine's and remember &lt;strong&gt;no school Monday&lt;/strong&gt;!!

With school, student gov. and work, we have become a little stressed out.  We aren't in the semester that long either!&lt;br /&gt;A week or so ago we had the opportunity to go to the chamber of commerce banquet.  We went because our recently retired Executive Director, Andy Shinkle,  received the Total Citizen Award.  It was fun to be there and see a well deserved individual get recognized. &lt;br /&gt;Our classes range from fun to "let's just get it out of the way".  McKinzie is in a photography class and has been talking some fun pictures.  I wish I was as talented as she is.  They look really good.  Maybe I can convince her to let me put some on here. &lt;br /&gt;We have some fun activities lined up for the students.  This Saturday we are having a movie day at walker cinema!  It looks like we have had a lot of people interested in it because we have given a lot of tickets away.  So get there early before your show sells out!  The LDSSA club is putting on a dance this month.  As soon as I get the info from them I will be sure to let everybody know so they can come over and shake it. &lt;br /&gt;We hope this finds everybody doing well!  Take care.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7368507357714103925-7301295115195792918?l=usubc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/feeds/7301295115195792918/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2010/02/we-are-little-behind-times-with-school.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/7301295115195792918'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/7301295115195792918'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2010/02/we-are-little-behind-times-with-school.html' title=''/><author><name>hello. we are Clair and McKinzie Hawkins. welcome to our life as students.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07494002719466159950</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/SuoZPGgi2dI/AAAAAAAAACo/M_1WQUzhKuc/S220/n1241507815_328364_1581.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368507357714103925.post-5587872105745527792</id><published>2009-12-10T18:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-10T19:01:08.231-08:00</updated><title type='text'>FINAL-ly Done!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/SyG1iuzcguI/AAAAAAAAAEI/iSYAiDFi6fk/s1600-h/IMG_0563.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/SyG1iuzcguI/AAAAAAAAAEI/iSYAiDFi6fk/s320/IMG_0563.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413807835360035554" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a week it has been! I think it is safe to assume we are ALL glad that this week is over!! I'm pretty sure Bear wanted to trade me in for a new wife today, I was so grouchy because just like everybody else, I have been stressed to the max! Poor guy, I better make him his favorite cheesecake for putting up with me! Bear is very excited, he earned an A in chemistry! He worked his little tail off so he deserves it for sure. As for the rest of our classes we are not sure what the final scores are but we are still crossing our fingers and hoping for the best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This weekend we are going to play play play! It is a tradition in the Hawkins family to make gingerbread houses so we are going to go to Bear's brother's house to do that. The picture above is our cute gingerbread house we made last year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it is 8:00 p.m. and Bear and I want to go home (we are at the school) to eat some dinner so ta ta for now!

It was a tasty trip I'll have you know. We had a turkey (of course), stuffing, cranberry salad, homemade rolls, sweet potato pie (like candy), potatoes and gravy, and a plethora of homemade pies to choose from. Bear and I chose pecan pie! After dinner we decided to go bowling with all of Bear's brothers and sisters and their children. We had a great time and even got a free bowling game because something went wrong with the lane we were using. Whoo Hoo! And Bear was on fire! He was doing so well and then our computer screen lost all of our scores.... :( bummer for him but good for me I was doing horrible!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we returned to school we remembered that we had a tree that needed to be decorated for the Jubilee of Trees. In case you don't know what the Jubilee of Trees is (because I didn't know) they have people sign up who want to decorate a tree then other people who have businesses come and bid on the tree they would like in their office. The money then goes to a charity foundation. So we dressed this cute little tree with blue white for UTAH STATE! We had a fun time doing it and have come up with a great plan for next years tree!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; days left in the semester!

But look at it on the bright side we have less than two weeks (in school days) left! That is definitely something to be excited about! Yesterday we held our first Turkey Bowling Tournament and it went so well! We had twelve teams hefting large, frozen, stuffed animal polar bears down the "lanes". It was certainly more challenging than it looked! Bear woke up today and said that his buns hurt from throwing the frozen bears hahaha isn't that hilarious? My arms are feeling a bit sore too though... darnit. Nonetheless, we had a fun time! And a special thanks to Jen Gardner and faculty and staff, they provided us with a bunch of 2 liter bottles that we used for our bowling pins. Thanks a million! We hope to see Turkey Bowling become tradition for USU Brigham City.

After we got finished with our stuff bear opened up the stove to find red hot coals. THEN, we both had this great idea to make S'MORES! So, at 10:30 p.m. we decided to make the all American treat and let me tell ya, they were delicious! I highly recommend this treat whether you are camping or not! :]&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7368507357714103925-5022330643688073178?l=usubc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/feeds/5022330643688073178/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2009/11/some-more-please.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/5022330643688073178'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/5022330643688073178'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2009/11/some-more-please.html' title='Some More Please'/><author><name>hello. we are Clair and McKinzie Hawkins. welcome to our life as students.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07494002719466159950</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/SuoZPGgi2dI/AAAAAAAAACo/M_1WQUzhKuc/S220/n1241507815_328364_1581.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/SwLqPXZpugI/AAAAAAAAADw/c7iQwjlGlDk/s72-c/smores.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368507357714103925.post-595577978440505219</id><published>2009-11-13T14:16:00.002-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-13T14:54:49.178-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A Little Bit of Everything</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;15&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; DAYS to go! So this morning the Digis guy came over to our house to check our signal for the internet...we are like negative signal. Dangit. How are we supposed to get our homework done? I guess we will have to come up with plan B. But what the heck, who wants to do homework anyways right?! Good news: Bear earned the highest grade in his math class with a 69% on the last test they had. Ouch! Bad news: as for me, I think I earned the lowest haha shoot, better luck next time I hope. Oh so I promised to get back to you about the Heavenly Chocolate Mousse. It was a winner and the recipe is easy. You can check out the recipe here,  &lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Heavenly-Chocolate-Mousse/Detail.aspx"&gt;Heavenly Chocolate Mousse&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a brief while, Representative Rob Bishop came to our school to talk to a class about government.  We slipped in for it and he sounded like a really nice fellow.  We got a picture with him and everything!  The only bummer is that I forgot my cord for my camera and can't upload pictures for y'all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know if everybody knows how much Bear loves George Strait but the other day when the CMA's were on, Bear got home in the middle of them and when George Strait didn't win anything he was nominated for, he was about ready to boycott all big media.  How could somebody with more #1 hits than anybody.... ever, and who still gets multiple #1 hits on each album be beaten out by a teenie bopper that can't even hold a tune in a bucket.  She sounds terrible live, but anyway, he was torqued. Poor George. We still love him. I just wish we could afford to be  concert junkies and follow him around the country!

That I can handle. This week has been pretty dull as far as events go. So Bear and I have been playing catch up on our classes. Looks like this weekend is going to be cloudy with a chance of math, folklore and geology. Hopefully more than a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;chance&lt;/span&gt; though :] it really needs to be done!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well...I just took my second math test I'm praying that I did okay, I sure wish math was my thing. I am so ready to be done with that class. I'm sure everybody is very excited for the end of the semester and the nice long break we will have! So anyways...I'm kind of feeling bored because Bear just left for his chemistry lab so I think I am going to try a new recipe: &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Heavenly Chocolate Mousse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;!

Things have gotten a little crazy with all of the big events that have happened at our school and all the dad-gum homework! Whoa professors just calm down a bit. This week I have felt like quitting school but I came to my senses and decided that wouldn't be the best route so I'm still on board with the "education is good" bandwagon. Bear is feeling a bit overwhelmed as well but for some reason never gets too grouchy about it, probably because he is a guy and guys just don't worry like girls. On Monday we had a candidate come to the school so the faculty and students could ask him questions and today we have another candidate coming. Last Friday we held the cornmaze and had such a great turnout! And even better, it wasn't haunted. I wanna know who in the world PAYS to get scared?! Doesn't that seem a little outrageous? Oh get this, the other night Bear got out of bed to grab a drink of water. But, I didn't know that, so I got out of bed to see why HE got out of bed. And I must have startled him because he nearly punched me! Yikes! Stay out of Bear's way when he gets freaked out or else you will have a black eye! Now I know that if anyone breaks into our house he will go A-WALL on em. Guess what? Bear and I will have been married for one year on November 1st!! Everyone says that the first year is the hardest but it's been pretty dang good so hopefully the second is just as awesome. Well, I need to run to the other building to meet the second canidate so have a great Halloween everybody! P.S. I will be posting pictures soon!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7368507357714103925-1900935158754057105?l=usubc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/feeds/1900935158754057105/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2009/10/amazeing-fun.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/1900935158754057105'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/1900935158754057105'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2009/10/amazeing-fun.html' title='aMAZEing Fun!'/><author><name>hello. we are Clair and McKinzie Hawkins. welcome to our life as students.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07494002719466159950</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/SuoZPGgi2dI/AAAAAAAAACo/M_1WQUzhKuc/S220/n1241507815_328364_1581.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368507357714103925.post-7256887675317230856</id><published>2009-10-14T11:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-14T11:59:20.296-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Squeaky *C*L*E*A*N*</title><content type='html'>So today I get to work and find out that one of our cute little children has gotten the swine flu. So, we sanitized the room inside out, if there were germs in there they aren't there anymore cuz we attacked every one of them. LBA reeked of yummy bleach, so we called the cute facilities assistant to come put fans in our room. Don't worry that cute assistant is Bear!  It's all good though.  I think people get a little too worked up about the flu anyway.  But not all is lost!!  I am excited because I don't have class today OR tomorrow! Just think of all the house work that can get done!! If you didn't know, I have this crazy obsession of cleaning. everything. At least the things I can see. I'm only 5'2". My best friends are coming to visit this weekend! Any fun ideas of what we should do? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bear is working SO hard in his classes. I'm so proud of him, he got a 90% on his chemistry test. He's always on the run. He even builds fires for us early in the morning so our house is nice and toasty warm. On Saturday he spent all day moving our firewood closer to the house so I think we are ready for the snow! Oh MAN, guess what?! K so Bear got this crazy old Soviet Union gun that has a long bayonet on the end of it. So now he runs around the house acting like he's a blood thirsty Russian. It is pretty dang entertaining, but we will probably need to go shoot it soon to get it out of his system. Well, I hope everybody has a great fall break! Don't do anything too crazy. :]&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7368507357714103925-7256887675317230856?l=usubc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/feeds/7256887675317230856/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2009/10/squeaky-clean.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/7256887675317230856'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/7256887675317230856'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2009/10/squeaky-clean.html' title='Squeaky *C*L*E*A*N*'/><author><name>hello. we are Clair and McKinzie Hawkins. welcome to our life as students.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07494002719466159950</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/SuoZPGgi2dI/AAAAAAAAACo/M_1WQUzhKuc/S220/n1241507815_328364_1581.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368507357714103925.post-1802619922123448476</id><published>2009-10-09T16:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-09T16:41:04.747-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Governor Herbert</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Every seat was taken today when the governor of Utah stopped by our campus.

On Wednesday we had a drawing to give away USU sweatshirts and t-shirts and it was a big success! Then on Thursday we gave tasty Aggie ice cream away to the students who wore Aggie gear. We were planning to have an activity everyday this week but we had to adjust a little bit because our director ended up having meetings the day we were going to have our student appreciation bbq. Then Friday we were going to go to the cornmaze but word has it, they aren't open yet! So... we decided to post pone these activities. Actually, this coming Monday will be the student appreciation bbq! We are still hanging onto summer even though it wants to slip away. Hey everybody don't forget to become a TRUE Aggie at midnight tonight! ;) Oh yeah just so everyone knows, I am an aunt! My brother and his wife just had their first baby last night.

Bear (oh "Bear" is Clair's nickname ever since he was little and that is what everyone calls him) is trying to balance school, work, and everything else that we manage to cram into our lives. For some reason we both have a huge problem telling people "no" &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;haha&lt;/span&gt; but it makes our lives really exciting because there is never a moment to be bored. So my good friend Tara showed me how to make our blog super cute! This is way too much fun. Except, I want to make the blog glittery and &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;girly&lt;/span&gt; but I don't think Bear would really appreciate that. We'll see how long that lasts. ;) So last week was Peach Days and it was a lot of fun minus the fact that there were a billion people there! The parade turned out really great and we had lots of volunteers, so thank you very much we appreciate the support! Today all of the USU employees had to attend a sexual &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;harassment&lt;/span&gt; meeting, so now I'm wondering if Bear and I can hug at school...? I sure hope so! Anyways...we hope you all have a fun weekend!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7368507357714103925-6686503235952984109?l=usubc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/feeds/6686503235952984109/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2009/09/thank-you.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/6686503235952984109'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7368507357714103925/posts/default/6686503235952984109'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usubc.blogspot.com/2009/09/thank-you.html' title='Thank You!'/><author><name>hello. we are Clair and McKinzie Hawkins. welcome to our life as students.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07494002719466159950</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QZhFf01u6qU/SuoZPGgi2dI/AAAAAAAAACo/M_1WQUzhKuc/S220/n1241507815_328364_1581.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368507357714103925.post-296123738310058812</id><published>2009-09-14T14:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-14T14:53:22.015-07:00</updated><title type='text'>oops...</title><content type='html'>So I tried to give my blog a new look and something bad happened.

I think we have enough...just a hunch. Come to the Peach Day Parade and we will be glad to share some with you! This week we have been working on getting everything prepared for the parade; we have several volunteers to walk with us and a bunch of little kids to toss in the back of the truck. It was fun driving down main street this week seeing people lay out their blankets and chairs staking out their favorite parade spot. They are all a bunch of crazies! Clair and I have never been involved in Peach Days so this is all new to us! Maybe next year we will camp out to save our spot, haha just kidding.

That's always nice :) So where in the world did our summer go?! I woke up cold on Monday morning! Anyways... Clair and I were shocked to see our parking lot so packed on Monday. We've been used to the summer when the parking lot is bare. But everyone seems to be ready to jump back into the swing of things.  Clair is kinda concerned about his classes this semester, probably less playing and more studying! Which really cramps his style because he's been wanting to buy an 887 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Nitro&lt;/span&gt; Express shot gun. Me on the other hand, I'm still not sure what my verdict is on my classes this semester. Gotta say, I wouldn't mind going shooting either! Oh so in my first post I told ya how Clair was trying to get into Calculus well I guess you have to earn a 95 on the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;accuplacer&lt;/span&gt; test in order to test into the class, which is pretty much unheard of! So he decided he would take the ACT again to try and get into &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Calc so he can get into the engineering program&lt;/span&gt;. Otherwise he will be a whole year behind.

Clair has been working really hard on math this last month because he is trying to test out of trig so he will be able to take calculus this fall. His trig class was cancelled this summer yikes!
