I Haven't Decided Yet....

I haven't decided yet what month I want it to be.



I'm thinking maybe it should be May.



That means the flowers are blooming the snow is gone and H. is playing T-ball. I love flowers, I love, "No Snow," and I love, love, love H. playing t-ball.

Maybe I want it to be July, No school, we are starting to eat vegetables from the garden, fireworks and my birthday.

mmmm... Maybe I will take a pass on the birthday.


I'm certain that I don't want it to be January.



I'm pretty sure that January makes people crazy.



I have proof, one of my friends, spent a day making Adult size Hula-Hoops.



"Huh... why?" I asked.



"Because I can." she replied



It is all January's fault. It makes you loopy.



In fact, I am considering writing a letter to Obama and telling him that the, "Change," I would like to see is the end of January.



Really, why do we even need January?



Let's just wipe it out, take 31 whole days, worth of steps, closer to spring.



I'm positive that somebody will leave a comment or at least think about how much they enjoy January.



Yes, I understand you skiers of the world that January rocks.



I understand that sledding and building snowmen, or in the case of my neighbors, a giant snow chicken, (wish I would have taken a picture of that) does provide entertainment.



However, when I wake up in the morning to find that another layer of snow has nestled down, all I can think is, "Down with January!"



Wait didn't I say something about trying to keep this blog positive.



Okay, well I'm positive that I don't like January!



Does that count for being positive.



Who are we kidding anyways. I wasn't born with positive DNA. I was born with the world blows, especially in January, DNA.



It is fact, I've been tested.



What do you mean they don't test for that?



I'll have to ask Brent why all those Dr's were here then?

If we didn't have January, I wouldn't have a husband! He was born in January. I guess we could move his birthday to February and then we could get rid of January. But what would we do with Martin Luther King Jr. Day? ;)

Yes, down with January. I think it is absolutely the longest month of the year. I want the days to be long and sunny, I'll go for June right about now. I totally missed my summer last year because of the baby, so I'm DYING for some ultra-violet light absorption. I'm a sunworshipper who has been cooped up for TOO LONG!

January is the month Zach was born. I rather like that little boy. Also, having a baby in January is nearly perfect (if you live here... I couldn't comment on babies in Utah); it isn't sweltering hot, you don't start to sweat upon waking in the morning, nursing is only mildly miserable, and due to cold and flu season you don't have to show up anyplace for several months. January babies rock!

That said, if we don't get some sun around here, I might lose it. A girl can only take so much dreary grey before she snaps!!

Well, if you were here in Oklahoma, you would get January one day and April the next and October two days later followed by July like we've been doing. It is impossible to plan the kids' clothes for more than 48 hours.

Are you knocking my Hula Hoops? I have a bright shiny one just for you! You can shake you hips and create heavenly abs. That's what I want six pack abs. Although I think I like the Hula outside. I used to Hula for hours and hours with my cousins. I love the Hula.

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 ...
