Fall Flowers

It is raining it is pouring.

The green leafs are turning golden.

The sun is setting and the rays are bursting through the gray clouds.

Ghost, pumpkins, and yellow mums decorate the porch. All of this can mean only one thing.

It is fall!

I can't help but look forward to the holiday season.

So I have to know what are you looking forward to this holiday season?

I'm looking forward to Christmas vacation. I am anticipating having my wild hooligans all to my self. I am eagerly planning to have them help make toffee, cookies, pies, rolls, fudge, peanut butter balls, and all the other treats that come with the holiday season. I am hoping for long bike rides (weather permitting), lazy movie days, loud singing, and quiet reading. I am yearning to hear heavy drops of rain splash against our metal awning in the back yard while I make hot chocolate. I am waiting for big, wet puddles that we can jump in, and freshly raked leaves.... I am ready for more family time!

Oh the holidays. Thanksgiving should be fun! 10 days in the blessed California sun will be a welcome relief from all the dreaded snow that I know will blanket us here in good ole Utah. Christmas is another story. The grumpiest of all the grumps has to get tonsils out during vacation so that shall be a challenge. :) Ice cream Christmas or banana split meltdown? We shall see!

I really do love the holidays! It's my favorite time of year. Well, other than when it's sunny. :)

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 ...
