One Thing You Have To Love About Winter

So many days you hear me grumble away about the cold and snowy winters of Utah.  

I beg and plead with you to embrace the summer and the blessed warmth and heat. 

However, all of you California people just go on and on about it being to dang hot.  Babies! :)

Well at least there is one thing that I can enjoy about the coming winter.

FALL!

When was the last time you raked a big pile of  leaves just so you could jump into them?


Throw them above your head
With your best gal pal
In complete happiness
and enjoyment of Fall.

I guess I will put up with winter if I can have Fall.


PS I didn't say he was for sell I was just wondering what you thought would happen if he was. Frankly I have already invested to many gray hairs into that boy to give up on him now. I was just curious. ; )

What a cute little crush goin' on there! teehee!

I think fall smells like marching band. Alas, MB season is over this year. I almost thought fall was over before it began when we had that 6 or so inches of snow in October!

PS - Cool new layout.

We love the leafy spoils of fall. Unfortunately for us there are no leaves to rake until December. December leaves just gives us a chance to practice patience. Yeah... that's it.

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...

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 ...

Halloween and Cars

The Holiday season is officially upon us. The day of Trick or Treats is here. The pumpkins are carved and sitting on the doorstep. The costumes are ready and the kids are excited for the night to begin. If there is anything that makes me feel young it is the holidays. The holidays feel me with excitement, creativity, and hope. Basically, in my opinion there is nothing better than the holidays. Yes, in this particular post I am choosing to ignore the stress that often accompanies the holidays. What stress? Last week was a very busy week. Tuesday night was the pinewood derby.  H. was a little intense when it came to building and constructing his car. He spent weeks researching learning all the tricks and tips. He grew increasingly impatient whenever Brent tried to interfere during the construction phase. The night of the actual competition his mom could see the look of intensity and competition written all over his face. Even as he casually looked over the competiti...
