Our Vegie and Flower Garden

Brent keeps pestering me to post some pictures of our Garden's. His being the vegie garden and mine being the flower garden. Somewhere he has developed a farmer complex and spends his days trying to figure out where to add more gardens into our shrinking yard. We have watermelon and pumpkins mixed in with our flower beds and he has plans for even more next year. I think I may have created a monster. So I put the pictures in a slide show so you don't have to scroll through the many pictures of plants. Even though I know that it is very exciting and you don't have much of anything else to do today. I'm sure he will want more pictures posted as soon as our giant pumpkins start growing. Apparently they are suppose to weigh 400lbs when they are done. What in the world do you do with a 400lb pumpkin?

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

The Kids Today

S. is now 11 years old and is counting down the days until she turns 12. She is in the fifth grade and says math is her favorite subject. She stays pretty busy with swimming and soccer. This past year in addition to a regular AYSO team she has been competing on an All Star Team. She has really enjoyed it and is really looking forward to a tournament that will take place in Hawaii this July. She still loves swimming and is still competing when she can. A. is 9 years old and is the professor of the house. He is our silent man whose brain is in constant motion. He reads and reads and reads and soon will read me out of house and home. He enjoys video and computer games, and he loves playing sports. In January he made the city swim team and continues to play soccer, basketball, and anything that I let him. Al will soon be eight. As in next week soon. The best part of school she says is 3:25 when pressed for a better answer than that she say...
