My Favorites!

It has been so much fun reading through your favorite songs. I have particularly enjoyed how everyone has different favorites.  

After Brent read yesterday's post he got all, "Why is there a picture of me? Where is the picture of you? I don't think you should post pictures of me without posting pictures of you."

These are for you my darling cranky, 70's clad, hubby!

My Third Christmas


Me in all my 15 year old glory.  Check out the rat tail.  How cool was I!

My Favorite Christmas Songs:

#1 As previously stated Sarah McLachlan's album, "Wintersong," pretty much every song.  My favorite, favorite though is, "What Child is This."

#2 It wouldn't be Christmas without a little Vince Guaradli Trio's, "A Charlie Brown Christmas," I'm almost positive that my Christmas tree fixation started with "Charlie Brown's Christmas."

Brent's and mine first Christmas tree, we called it our Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

#3 Bing Crosby's, "White Christmas," this song and movie helped me survive all the brown Christmas's of California

#4  "Silver and Gold" growing up my parents use to play a duet of Silver and Gold every Christmas.  My dad on the trumpet my mom on the piano. 

#5  "Winter Wonderland," "Baby its Cold Outside," "Let it snow, let it snow," and "Frosty the Snowman." I have a firm belief that we should have beautiful white Christmas every year.  It just needs to go away January 2.

Speaking of brown Christmas... the boys and I were driving along the bluffs today. Suddenly, Gordon gasped and said, "oh look Zach... isn't it just so beautiful?" Then the two of them talked of the gorgeous town we live in. Want to guess what they were struck by?? THE OIL FIELDS!

We definately have brown Christmases around here.

FYI... You were a totally cute kid! That even includes your 15 year old, rat tail sporting self. =)

My favorite Christmas songs are very traditional as well. I love Oh Holy Night, Baby What's it Gonna be (flash back to high school choir), The Christmas Song (Chestnut's roasting on an open fire...) and my all time, all time, all time favorite is and will always be, the all time classic favorite, written by the priest in Germany...Silent Night. I can't believe no one else mentioned that one!!! Who are you people???

As for listening before Thanksgiving, shame on you all!!! ;) Just kiddin, I've actually caught myself on those stations a few times this year but only if it is traditional stuff. Who said they like the shoe song? That one is just way too hard to listen to for me. Christmas is a time to be happy.
Nice pictures!

Willow, LOL I use to make Brent take me up to the bluffs all the time. I thought all those oil rigs were cool.

H, Lisa is the one that said Christmas Shoes. She also mentioned Silent Night.:) She is the one that has all the heart.

Hey Krissi, I absolutely love the Christmas season, and yes, I've been listening to Christmas songs also. I tell my girls that we are having a "music appreciation" lesson and I tell them stories about the singers and the songs we are listening to. Pretty annoying, eh? But hey...how many kids these days can recognize the voices of Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Andy Williams, etc.? I think I am going to blog a little about this subject. By the way, I am totally inspired by your sugar abstinence. Not that I am going to follow suit. But at least I am inspired.

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on.  One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out.  It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby.   Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement.  A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby.  It is that important!  I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR.   You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go.  Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...

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...
