Let Me Explain

I have a routine. A very important routine. One that if I don't follow every morning will cause my house to fall apart. I'm not kidding it falls apart. When I say, "I have a routine," I mean my whole family has a routine. 

When it comes to the kids it includes getting themselves ready for school, eating breakfast, and getting their morning chores done.   It is not a hard routine but none the less every morning I go through the laundry list reminding them. Eat breakfast, brush your teeth, make your bed...

My third child has mastered my routine.  Meaning, she has figured out what part of the house I am in at what time and she is else where.  She is a whiz at flying under mom's radar and getting out of chores.

This morning I realized that the house was awfully quiet and I went searching for the children.  Imagine my surprise when I found them all in the office, all of them on MY computer, making videos. I didn't even know my computer could make videos.


Just as I began to work up a full head of steam Al had pushed play on the video you saw earlier today. I was ready to launch into lecture mode and spank their bottoms for; A. Being on MY computer and B. Not getting their morning chores done. However, I was distracted by a large bubble headed son and the manic giggling of all my children.

Pretty soon my morning routine was forgotten and I found myself laughing as tears rolled down my eyes.  What a pack of weirdos I am raising.  Who do these children belong to?


I found about 50 of these on my computer.  Like I said I didn't even know that my computer could take video.  I promise not to post anymore. Well, I promise not to post anymore today! All I can say about the videos it is amazing what children come up with.

PS As I sat there rolling with laughter A. said, "Mom we made some videos for your blog, you can put them under your Random Nonsense category."

I just laughed and said, "Where else would I put them?"

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 ...
