Blogging Rut!

Ok so it is true, I am in a blogging rut. Not sure what to write about. Not sure I have anthing worth reading. If you all must know this is what we have been up to lately. Evan started 2nd Grade and loves it. He has so much fun walking to and from school with his Cousins and neighbor friends. He would pretty much walk (or ride his scooter) rain or shine but sometimes he does get a ride for my dear sweet neighbors. (Thanks Suzanne and Jess) Collin started Preschool at Adventure Preschool in Sandy. It is the same school that Evan went to. He really has a good time and loves seeing his friends and loves learning. I love this preschool and so glad it is still in business. (They were talking about closing the school since it has been around for 30 some odd years and Miss Shirley might like to retire someday..... she can when Collin is finished. Just one more year)

When November arrives my family starts thinking about what we need to do to get ready for the upcoming ski season. The skis come out the snow gear comes out and we start sizing up the kids and see if what we need to aquire for them so we are ready to go on Day 1. I am on my 3rd season teaching skiing at Brighton Ski Resort. I love it and mostly it makes skiing affordable for my family. Evan is awesome and loves to find little jumps all over the mountain that he can "catch air" on. Collin is pretty much right on Evans tail. They are both so fun to watch and I think that for me is the best part of skiing these days.





























Also when November arrives I start thinking I should get my Christmas lights on the house before it snows and Hang up my U and begin the taunting to my byu lovin brother. I was able to go to the byu / utah game with my brother and his family thanks to their extreme generosity and there was fun to be had by all and even though the Utes lost it was still a good time. This November I also spent a week in Mexico with my friends Wendy and Amber. It was a great relaxing week that was very much needed. We layed by the pool, walked on the beach, played Tennis, Learned how to make guacamole and slept in (well at least I slept in). The day we arrived home it was Snowing. It could not have worked out more perfect..... sun and tanning all week to jumping right into skiing! SWEET!





























Now that we are well into December and I am kinda BAH HUMBUG this year. Not that I am not excited about Christmas it is just all the craziness that goes along with it. It seems I do not have a free day till well after Christmas and I have vowed that when the kids get old enough that we will be spending our Christmas in Hawaii or Cancun or somewhere else that we can actually relax and be able to reflect on what is most important during this season. There is a couple things that I do actually love about this time of year 1 - My brothers Christmas lights and 2 - My Christmas Tree and I could add a third this year. I was able to go to "The Forgotten Carols" by Michael Mclean with my Young Women and I loved it. Not sure they all did but I definately will try and go to that every year. I always feel the Christmas Spirit during that peformance and I think so far that has really been the only time I felt it this year. And now with Christmas a week away I will try and get in the Christmas Mood. I will let ya'll know if it happens and until then I do hoope that you all have a Sweet Christmas and an excellent New Year...... BRING ON 2010 (New years resolution for 2010 - *Learn to Slide a Rail on my skis*
