Alex's Story "Volcano Blows"

Alex brought the following story home from school the other day. The assignment was to write a story about, "Things with holes." It was the most random, creative story that I have ever read. The ending made me giggle for hours. So I decided to share it with my blog friends who I'm sure will enjoy it...ok, ok, maybe not as much as I did but it should make you at least smile.

Volcano Blows

One time I found a big volcano. Then I climbed it. It seemed the hole was bigger then the volcano. If I didn't get out of there I would have been toast. And them BOOM it blowed. My Mom came and picked me up in the car. But she must be blind because she didn't see the lava. I tried to tell her but she said lets go get donuts. My donut's hole was small. I couldn't see it. The next day I went back to the volcano. I climbed it again there was only a little lava left. I got a button out of my pocket I put a long string threw the hole and stock it down the volcano hole and touched the lava with the button then pulled it up it was burnt in to crisp. WOW I said and went home.

THE END

Her Illustration

I laughed at the sweat and frown on her face as she climbed the volcano.

Much of the charm of her story came from her "creative" spelling.

Thank you for enduring my proud mama moment. It is so nice to have friends in the blog world who let you brag. Even about silly stories.

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!

What not to Wear, Swimsuit Addition

Working at a swimming pool a strange thing starts to happen to you. You become less aware of the fact that you are wearing a swim suit. You become less aware that people around you are wearing swimsuits. Really in most instances you don't even notice the swimsuits. Which is ironic sense most people are so uncomfortable in what a swim suit discloses about their bodies. However, the truth is not that many people have fantastic bodies. It is an exception to the rule for a swim suit model to walk into the pool. Most people who come to the pool are everyday people with everyday bodies. That being said there are things us pool workers do notice. Things that I feel as your friend I must share. Things that have left young men scarred and us older ladies just plain grossed out. So here it is my first what not to wear swim suit addition. Rule Number One. Wear a swimsuit that fits. I see more women do harm to their figure wearing a suit that is two, three, four sizes to small then...
