Come and Gone

Christmas has come and gone the final hours of 2010 has began.

I'm sure that I have a 2010 reflection post in me somewhere.

But! Our 2010 is ending with family, friends and the baptism of my baby.
It is so hard to type that sentence even harder to believe that we are baptizing our last little one. So the end of this year is going to come and go without a reflection post.

I have chili to cook and family to visit and....

I did want to share with you a quick look at our Christmas

We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma's house. At 80 years old she keeps the party rocking and we enjoy the time we get to visit with everyone.

(A quick picture before we left. I try to get this picture every year on Christmas Eve.)

Melting snowman was our little Christmas Eve joke since all of our Christmas snow had melted.

(The stockings after Santa's Visit)

This year we enjoyed a brown Christmas. The snowflakes all disappeared and the hopes of a White Christmas were in vain.

On the 26th we walked out of Church to falling flakes. We are now burried under several inches of the white stuff and bone chilling weather. Some of us like it better than others.

As for my New Years Resolutions well I'm not big on New Years Resolutions but I have decided that I am going to try to step in front of the lens every now and then. Give my kids a chance to take some photos of their ole mom. This picture was taken on Temple Square. Expect to see more of these this year. I know you're very excited.

PS - Where did your Christmas Ornaments post go? I was going to post on it. Well, here goes... Hollie loves HER red sparkly ball ornament. I didn't even get to see it before HER ornament was up on HER tree. She took it down and danced with it and played with it (might have even played baseball with it, so thanks for not making it out of glass). Can't wait to see what you make next year. Hopefully more of those minty cookies. YUM. And yes, I did say "next year", because as of right now it looks like we're staying put. It goes back and forth every day. Leaning toward more "back" than forth every day, it seems. But, if by some miracle us moving actually DOES work out, you better bring some yummies to the new place. It's in the same city, so.... yeah.

That's enough. Good night.

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...

HI!

Back to the real world. After a week of spring break we are back to the real world.  Sometimes the real world is a little lame.  On the other hand having the kids home 24, 7.... Well, let's just say the real world aint that  bad. We had a fairly productive spring break. We were able to get a bunch of have to's taken care of. Al, Brent, and I made it into the eye doctor and will soon be sporting some new eyes. Glasses just keep getting cooler. My glasses are red with bling on the side and Al's are a very cool turquoise blue. Brent's glasses are a little boring, but being as this is his very first pair ever, we are breaking him into the eye glass world slowly. Brent and I also painted our room. Pictures coming as soon as I decide if I like the paint color. I broke away from our norm and painted the room gray. It is so different that I haven't decided if it is awesome or not. Definitely need to get some artwork on the wall.  This post is a little lame but mainly I just...

A Walk Through Our Fall Garden

We have had an absolutely beautiful fall. The weather has actually stayed unseasonably warm. While we have been busy canning and harvesting we have taken very little time to enjoy the flowers that are also enjoying the fall season.  So a couple of days ago I grabbed my camera and enjoyed a scroll through my flowers.  I Love this picture I swear it makes me think I can actually smell the rose.  Sadly this is a no name rose. I think we should name it don't you?   These little guys are from a start my friend gave me.  In fact my flower beds are a bloom right now with plants from her garden. These little gals make me think of quiet summer days.  They also make me want to finish reading "Anne of Green Gables," again.  Don't you think that Anne would love these little ones.  She would probably call them "Queen's of Fall," or something else romantic and fancy. These are mums and you should see the plant it is huge.  Again a start from a friend.  I think it is...
