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!!

This post made me laugh so hard. I appreciate the laugh and YES, DOWN WITH JANUARY!

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.

Registered! What Have I done?

I'm just home from the gym. My legs are shaky, my shirt is sweaty, and my muscles are loose. Saturday, I biked almost 30 miles on a hill before getting off the hill and finishing up at 35 miles. This morning I went for a nice 70 minute jog. (Legs are not HAPPY!) Last night before going to bed I registered for "Little Red." Paid my non-refundable registration fee. Needless to say I'm what you would called, "FREAKED!" Holy Cow what have I gotten myself into, a 100 mile bike ride.  Do you know that this ride will actually take me out of one state into another and back. Does that sound insane? Who gets up and says hey lets ride our bikes to that state over there and back? I think I have officially lost my mind. How does one know for sure if they have lost there mind? Short of registering for a 100 mile bike ride. Do you know people do these all the time? They do them for fun! Maybe that is the definition of insane. Well what is done is done and I have 16 weeks...

Ask "the SwimMom" Holiday Edition

One thing that you may not know about me is that in my senior year of high school I worked at Baskin Robins. I scooped, dipped, mixed, and created ice cream concoctions for almost an entire year. It was the best and worst job I ever had. My favorite ice cream desserts were malts. Ummmm!!! That is why when I came across this recipe a few years later I couldn't wait to try it. That is why after I tried this recipe it became one my favorite cookie recipes. Below is the recipe for: "Chocolate Malted Cookies" 1 cup butter-flavored shortening 1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar 1/2 cup malted milk powder 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 egg 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks 1 cup (6 ounces) milk chocolate chips In a mixing bowl, combine shortening, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla; beat for 2 minutes. Add egg. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually...

Come and Gone

Christmas has come and gone the final hours of 2010 has began. I'm sure that I have a 2010 reflection post in me somewhere. But! Our 2010 is ending with family, friends and the baptism of my baby. It is so hard to type that sentence even harder to believe that we are baptizing our last little one. So the end of this year is going to come and go without a reflection post. I have chili to cook and family to visit and.... I did want to share with you a quick look at our Christmas We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma's house. At 80 years old she keeps the party rocking and we enjoy the time we get to visit with everyone. (A quick picture before we left. I try to get this picture every year on Christmas Eve.) Melting snowman was our little Christmas Eve joke since all of our Christmas snow had melted. (The stockings after Santa's Visit) This year we enjoyed a brown Christmas. The snowflakes all disappeared and the hopes of a White Christmas were in vain. ...
