The Weather Outside is Frightful!

We woke up this morning to a sky full of snow. I thought I would get out and take some pictures while the snow was still fresh. So I yanked on Brent's boots. Yes, Brent's boots, I still refuse to buy my own. I don't live where it gets cold. I don't live where there is snow. Why would I need boots? So I put on Brent's boots. He chooses to deny other things.

Can you guess where the street is?

Does this help? The car lights lit up the falling snow. I thought it was kinda cool. I bet the driver of the car thought I was weirdo.

See this tree right here. Every year somebody takes the corner to fast and ends up in the tree. Amazingly enough, the tree looks just fine. While the cars that hit the tree, not so fine. Guess that means the tree wins.

I know that you have been missing pictures of my flowers so I took this picture just for you. Somehow, it just isn't the same.

The #1 Reason I had Children

Who wants to shovel snow when you can be taking pictures?

I, also, don't live in a cold place. That would be ridiculous. Who would want to live where it snows? Brrr
Love the snow pictures and the son shoveling pictures. Having children is great!

We bought a new shovel this year. It's time to put Hollie to work! Yesssssss!

So, I've lived here *almost* 6 years and have never seen anyone wrapped around that tree. Probably because I only see the tree when I am narrowly missing it going around the curve. haha. If I hit it I'm not sure if I want you to come and help me, or just let me sit alone in my embarrassment.

I did a neighborhood pole (ok, I just asked Cristy) and the majority say that every year someone hits the tree. If you hit the tree I will come help you but I am bringing the video camera with me.

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 ...
