Garden Pictures as Promised.

Aren't you soooo excited that I remembered to post some garden pictures. Aren't you even double excited that I am posting just this one. This is a pic of one of our giant sunflowers. It is very cool don't you think? Currently the flower head has gotten so large that the plant is bent in half. That is making all the birds that visit our yard happy, not that the flower is bent in half, but that the flower is so big. They have been having a grand feast. Thanksgiving for the birds you could say.

As far as going back to work is concerned it was just as predicted I have class after class full of cute little fish. The best news is that I only have one crier and she is in my first class when I still have all kinds of patience. I have found that having a crier in my last class is usually not good news because I am more likely to dunk them under the water where I don't have to listen to it. Ha ha I'm just kidding.. maybe... I think my favorite class is going to be my 3A class which is kids under the age of five who know how to swim. So we teach them more advance techniques and get them ready to be thrown in with the big kids. Also, most everybody was glad to see me back and they missed me. Hey, it feels good to be missed, even if it is only by a bunch of punk 20 somethings.

So as much as I hate to admit it summer is coming to a close. The leaves on the trees in our front yard have started to change and this morning when I left for the gym it was actually a little chilly. I'm trying hard to be upset about the kids going back to school but I have to admit I AM SO READY!!!!!! They know summer is almost over and they are being toads. Cute toads but toads none the less.

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...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real. Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself. By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive!

"Laughing All the Way"

Most of the year Brent lives a pretty quiet existence. He goes about his own business with out the world taking much notice, to what he is up to and what he is doing. However, when the snow starts falling, the neighbors start laughing. Brent has become the neighborhood novelty. The funny guy on the corner. The, "Can you believe that Brent was outside, in the snow, shoveling, while in his sandals." Yes you read that correctly. While I refuse to buy boots, because I don't live where it gets cold and snows, and one needs boots. Brent simply does not wear said boots. Unless, he is going to work and HAS to. To the neighbors this is Brent. A few have tried to explain to him the core differences between living in California and Utah. Like, say, wearing actual shoes while shoveling. Oh, and hey, a coat! Brent's California brain has not excepted these facts. In fact, he claims that his sandals have better traction. "Big Sigh," it is nice to know your husband ...
