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...

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 ...
