Greatest Kids Ever!

"Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple."

Dr. Seuss

My kids are pretty great. No, really they are in fact I don't mean to offend anyone but they are probably the greatest kids on the planet. I'm pretty sure they're the cutest kids too. Hey why I am at it why don't I just add the smartest, most athletic, most wonderful kids ever.

Huh?

What?

That is just the mom in me talking?

No way! It is all true every last word of it.

I see that you aren't going to believe it. You probably think your kid is the cutest, smartest, most wonderful kids ever.

I will have to think about that but I am pretty sure you are wrong.

Well even though I believe I have the most wonderful kids ever I have started noticing a shift.

A tiny little shift.

A barely there, can hardly even notice it, shift.

Basically a shift in which they think they are smarter than me. They think they know more than me. Apparently reaching the age of two digits officially makes you smarter than everyone.

Add to that two digit age a handful of hormones and you have smarter than everyone and attitude.

It is a little annoying.

Even more annoying than some lady on the Internet saying her kids are better than everyone's kids.

What I can't figure out is why these double digit children think there smarter than everyone!

The funniest thing in church on Sunday regarding one of your said children, a certain 10-year-old boy. He was up leading the music with a fireman's hat on and Schery took his picture and he totally posed for her. Clint and I looked at each other and laughed. I was like, he is used to pictures isn't he. It was so cute! He might be the cutest 10-year-old boy on the planet, but I have the cutest 10-year-old girl. :)

Um... double digit kids think they are smarter than their parents because they *are* smarter... duh.

=)

Good luck with those teenagers and 10 year-olds. Oh, why is it that 7 year-old children think they are smarter than their parents? I know my 7 year-old has not yet passed me in intellectual prowess.

I totaly remember the days when I thought my parents just did not get it. My friends were more important and they were dumb. If only I had known. They will figure it out some day. If only we could all parent like the phelps. Man those kids are pretty amazing.

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 ...
