In a Blink of an Eye

Summer is in full swing. I would love to report that with the end of school came a slowing in our schedule. That is what I would like to report. However, the truth is we seem to be as busy as ever. I'm guessing that is the consequence of all these growing children I find myself surrounded by.


s4

S. received a registration packet from the Jr. High she will be attending in the fall. She spent hours pouring over all the information she is very excited about everything. Well everything but the Jr. High boosters she needed. Lucky for us we were able to get her into the Dr.'s office quickly and get the dreaded shots over with. Though while at the Dr.'s office the Dr. had to assure her that to his knowledge no one had ever died from Jr. High boosters. She quickly picked up on the words, "To his knowledge." I think he found her anxiety a little amusing.

Sadly I too found her anxiety amusing.

It is amazing what we choose to stress, over think, and become a basket case over.


2000 4 Sam Dancing

I have to admit is is a little strange to be the parent of this growing young women. I keep looking for my little curly hair girl and keep finding this nearly grown women. I don't question that I am old enough to be her mother I just question how 12 years passed so quickly.

I cannot beleive how much she looks like you! Surprising at how quickly the time passes. This just tells me to cherish all the moments because everyday from the time they are born they are moving away from us. She is a beautiful young woman.

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 ...
