theSwimMom Ask

Back to work tomorrow for the second session of the summer. My fingers are crossed that after a week and a half of battling illness that my family is all better. We can't keep being sick we have a summer to enjoy.

All though to be honest we don't have any major plans. Our plans consist mainly of relaxing as much as possible. I am finding that this isn't as easy as it once was.

The two older kids are busy, busy, busy. They are both swimming 3-5 days a week, participating in swim meets and participating in Jr. Life Guards. I am starting to think that S.'s participation in Jr. Life Guards is more for her social life than an opportunity to learn some life guard skills.

However, I have discovered how awesome it is to have her little brother hang with her. It is GREAT how much he lets me know. :)

The younger two are also jumping into the pool but mainly they are enjoying the freedom of summer.

We are anxiously awaiting summer weather. It has yet to warm up to the point that we "KNOW" summer is here. It has rained and rained and rained another day or two and the weatherman say that this will be the wettest June EVER in Utah. Just the kind of record you want in June, right?

That is about all that is going on right now. With everyone being so sick I feel like I haven't had a chance to say hi everyone, see what your up to, see how your summer is going.

Knowing that I thought I would ask an actual, "SwimMom Question," and ask "What are you up to? How is your Summer going?"

Come on people share your excitement between the pool and sick kids my life is very limited.

Happy Summer V-Cay Monday!

Summer is great!! In the three weeks since school ended we have:

*Taken a day hike in the mountains
*Finished two weeks of swimming lessons
*Baked dozens of cookies (13 dozen so far)
*Stripped wallpaper in the laundry room (okay, this has been my project not theirs)
* Gardened
*Taken countless trips to the library
*Done homework (20 minutes of math AND readng a day to keep their skills sharp)
*Visited friends
*Visited family
*Gone swimming, just for fun
*Made new friends
*Shared lunches, sodas, and snow cones
*Played games... the list goes on.

Today we are going to make more cookies in preparation for a family (my family, my brother's family, my sister and mom are all coming) camping trip in July. So far we have made Oatmeal raisin, Oatmeal chocolate chip, and Gingersnaps.

I am also hoping that July finds us playing as hard as we have been.

Happy Summer!!

So are you guys sick again? Missed you at church yesterday. Your house was so quiet yesterday, I was getting a little nervous. Hope everyone is better soon.

My excitement for our one not rainy day last week caused me to turn into a tomato. A bright red tomato.

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...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
