Today


I have one final week of summer.

However, most of the week will be taken up making final preparations for the school year to begin. At times I am giddy with excitement as I think about teaching. At other times I feel sheer panic. I’m sure the year will be full of both excitement and pure panic!

This summer has been full of fun and amazing experiences. The kids have been busy attending summer camps, band camps, orchestra, EFY, and youth conference. One of these days I will actually get the time to unload the pictures from the camera.

Today my Young Women spoke in sacrament. They are awesome, amazing, and totally the best!

It was  announced that next year the youth will be participating in Trek. Oh Boy! A week of living like a pioneer. Anyone got a bonnet I can borrow?

It is amazing how the months have passed in a heartbeat. Now football has started and the school year is moments away. This year is going to be an exciting one.

The kids are all registered for school. Junior High and High School fees were $550.00. Good thing we have “free” education.

Wish us luck!

I have not written on this blog for months. Blogher is cancelling my ads. This makes me kind of sad I have met a ton of people through Blogher. However, I really don’t blame them.

One of the reasons I haven’t written I hate the new blogger-editing layout. Hate is kind of a strong word but you know what I mean.

I love the scripture on my blog. I need to remember that a smile is worth a thousand words.


I need to go to bed.


Have an excellent night everyone.

Pictures tomorrow... maybe...

Ride 103.5 miles, CHECK!

Friday 9:40 am I have always lived my life defined. Meaning that I know who I am and I know my capabilities. I am perfectly aware of what I can and can not accomplish. Which is why I never do anything that I wont succeed. Also, a reason why I don't do a lot of things. A LOT! Among the definition of who I am is, "Not an athlete." Really, when we get down to it, it is the reason why I am freaking out about a 100 mile bike ride. Athletes ride a 100 miles, non-athletes aka Krissi do not ride 100 mile bike rides. It is very very simple. Yet here I am messing with my very own definition. I have every confidence that I will reach the end of the ride tomorrow. I have trained, I have worked, I have screwed with the very definition of who I am. Leaving the only option of finishing and dealing with what I have done to myself. I am positive that somewhere around 50 miles I will question and doubt my capability of finishing. I am positive that I will remember, "I am not athlete!...

The Second of December

Today is already the second day of December. If I'm not careful the month is going to pass in a blink. Today is also the second day of Hanukkah. I watched the lighting of the National Menorah on TV today and realized how grateful I am to live in a country where we celebrate and embrace all different cultures, religions, and people. It is pretty awesome! I just wanted to pop in for a few minutes and say "Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!" Krissi

Ask "the SwimMom" Holiday Edition

One thing that you may not know about me is that in my senior year of high school I worked at Baskin Robins. I scooped, dipped, mixed, and created ice cream concoctions for almost an entire year. It was the best and worst job I ever had. My favorite ice cream desserts were malts. Ummmm!!! That is why when I came across this recipe a few years later I couldn't wait to try it. That is why after I tried this recipe it became one my favorite cookie recipes. Below is the recipe for: "Chocolate Malted Cookies" 1 cup butter-flavored shortening 1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar 1/2 cup malted milk powder 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 egg 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks 1 cup (6 ounces) milk chocolate chips In a mixing bowl, combine shortening, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla; beat for 2 minutes. Add egg. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually...
