Counting Down

We are down to the last nine days of school. The kids can hardly wait as each day it gets a little bit harder to get them up and moving.

I am down to my final eight classes in school. I just finished my first methods class and it kicked my can. Literally, by the time the class finished I was down and out with a nasty little virus. Probably a combination of class and the end of the year craziness.

In the last month all of the kids activities have piled up like a snowy highway. One activity on top of another. What seemed manageable before May became insanity. Here is a quick run down of all that has been going on.

H.'s current schedule includes baseball, soccer, and cub scouts. My, take life so seriously, little man wants his whole cub scout book done. Slowing him down is a little like slowing down Superman. Speaking of Superman anyone have any kryptonite I can borrow. Thankfully, soccer ended on Saturday. Although I have to admit I love watching the kid play. He puts a smile on my face every time. Baseball started a couple of weeks ago and with all the rain it has been a little hit and miss (ha I made a pun). In addition to these activities each year, the second grade, at our school does a kid's opera. It is a pretty cool program where the class writes a story and then the Utah Opera adds the music and helps the students to perform. It is a pretty big deal for the second graders. Brent and I will get to view the fruits of their labors this week. I have already told you about H.'s teeth Friday will be his third Orthodontics visit. He will get his spacing retainer. It is a preety cool contraption that performed miracles on A.'s teeth.

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! 

What not to Wear, Swimsuit Addition

Working at a swimming pool a strange thing starts to happen to you. You become less aware of the fact that you are wearing a swim suit. You become less aware that people around you are wearing swimsuits. Really in most instances you don't even notice the swimsuits. Which is ironic sense most people are so uncomfortable in what a swim suit discloses about their bodies. However, the truth is not that many people have fantastic bodies. It is an exception to the rule for a swim suit model to walk into the pool. Most people who come to the pool are everyday people with everyday bodies. That being said there are things us pool workers do notice. Things that I feel as your friend I must share. Things that have left young men scarred and us older ladies just plain grossed out. So here it is my first what not to wear swim suit addition. Rule Number One. Wear a swimsuit that fits. I see more women do harm to their figure wearing a suit that is two, three, four sizes to small then...
