Thank You and Something Else that Needs Work

First of all I just have to say thank you for all your kind comments.  It is nice to know that we all have days like those. I have spent the last few days trying to figure out how to stop any more days like the ones we have been having.  But then I remembered something my mom has always said, "You can't stop a storm you can only weather it." 

DANG IT!! I tell you one of these days Mother Nature and I are going to have ourselves one LONG talk. 

Speaking of mom sayings, here is my favorite grandma saying (my mom's mom) speaking to her recently turned 16 year old oldest granddaughter. "You know Krissi you don't have to type on a lot of type writers to learn to type." I will let you ponder that one as you go through your day. 

Last night we were lucky enough to attend Al's very first concert choir performance.  It was a very fun night.  Well as much fun as a soccer/swim mom can have when she can't jump up and down and cheer.  Can you imagine, "Sing that song Al, you can do it! Sing Al Sing!!" For future reference do you think that cheering like that would get me kicked out of the auditorium?  Just wondering, if there are any choir mom's out there let me know. 

It was a lot of fun and it is very fun to watch Al. I wanted to share with you how fun it was to watch her and what fun she was having.  However, it turns out dark auditoriums are not camera friendly. GO FIGURE! 


So here are a few of the best ones I was able to get. Again I have to say, if Brent would just get me a bigger camera with a bigger lenses you might all be saved from these BAD PICTURES. I suggest you start a mail in campaign to him.

This was the  concluding song when all the high school, Jr high and elementary school sang together. They did a pretty good job.

This is one of my mia-maids, I missed YW's last night in order to attend the performance it turned out all my girls and most of our laurels were at the performance so I was able to support them and be there for AL.  Can I tell you how thrilled Tiff will be with this pic.

I  have no idea what Al is doing but doesn't she look cute in her choir get up.


Probably the best pic I got last night.  Al loved the performance and says she can't wait until she can be in the high school choir. My mom resume is growing Soccer/Swim/Basketball/Choir? Mom.
Sorry for subjecting you to bad pictures but but but. Ok can't think of an excuse just start that mail in campaign and maybe this horrible picture stuff will stop. :) I better get going to work.  Thank you again for all your nice comments.  Have a great day!

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...
