Summer Check In and the Final 24 Hours

As I know you all have heard, and heard, and heard S. and I are leaving for Hawaii on July 8th.  I can hardly believe it has been a year since she made the All Star Team and we started planning this trip.  It is finally here and I know I have driven everyone around me crazy with me constantly saying, "I'm going to Hawaii."  You would think I didn't get out much.  Oh wait a minute I don't.  So I get to drive everyone crazy just for a little while longer.  That is until I get back and start sharing all my fun pictures. I can feel all of your excitement.  Well here is my last post until you quit hearing about how I am going to Hawaii and start hearing that I went to Hawaii.  Again I can feel your excitement.  Please settle down I know it is exciting but contain yourself. 

We had a fun weekend I ran a 5k (yet another thing I am sure you have heard quite enough about) and the next day we went to our cute nieces baptism.  It was very cool when I looked at the program and saw that the General Primary President was giving the baptism talk. That is not something you see down my way in Utah.  I'm thinking those Saratoga Springs people must be more righteous then us.  Way cool don't you think? I guess I should mention her grand daughter was being baptized also. It was nice and Brent's sister and brother-n-law did an awesome job. 


(Doesn't she look like a princess?)

A quick garden update the vegetables are going crazy we have green tomatoes all over the place.  Brent has become very anxious wondering what we are going to do with all those tomatoes.  So anyone with some good storage recipes please feel free to send them my way.  Our pumpkins are progressing our first 400lb pumpkin has already started growing.  The flowers are not to happy with our recent increase in temperature but some of them are doing good.  The geraniums and gladies are taking off.




As you can see all kinds of excitement and in general all kinds of craziness taking place in our world.  One last pic of my crazy girls and I will be seeing you in a week when I get back from.....Oh come on you know the rest of the sentence by now.


(Who do these two belong to? Really people need to control their children better then this!)

Wowie, wow, wow! Your garden looks great. We have an abundance of green tomatoes. They have been kind enough to only ripen 4-10 at a time. I have not preserved any as I prefer to enjoy them as tomato sandwiches or Bruschette. If you want toe Bruschette recipe (such as it is...) I will be happy to share.

Have fun in Hawaii.

PS Today I am making Pomegranate Jelly. It is no Hawaii, but still exciting. =)

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...

Fantasy Land

The writer of this blog is currently in fantasy land. Meaning there will be no post as she is to busy pretending that she is on the sunny, care free, warm beaches of Hawaii. Apparently she is also under the delusion she looks smoking hot in a bikini and can currently (in the world of fantasy) be found on the beaches of Oahu sporting a bikini top and a grass skirt. Further evidence of how deeply she has entered fantasy land includes some very cute natives making sure her umbrella drinks are full and sunblock applied. The only thing she would like to mention to those of you still dealing with the real world and the endless hours of kids and summer vacation. "The water here is perfect and the sunsets are to die for please feel free to join me."

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
