anyone out there!

Hey just wanted to know if anyone is out there reading... I am figuring that everyone got bored of waiting for something new then when something showed up it wasn't that great! That is okay I guess, just wanted to see if you were out there!

Croquet

We have had lots of fun this summer... This is a sneak into one of our new favorite games: croquet. We played for the first time in St. George and really had a great time. Jordan and Ryan really got into the competition while Kate and Taylor enjoyed hitting their balls all around the course. I was somewhere in between...

We have also recently been to Santa Barbara with our Henderson extended family and had a blast. I survived the 12 hour drive to and from, Jordan learned to surf (thanks uncle Kenny) Taylor learned to swim, Kate loved her cousins and Ashley charmed everyone.

Dog food anyone?

Look what I can do! Look what I do every day! Oh man she is everywhere. As I am typing this I am listening to her emptying out my kitchen drawers.... lovely.

Ashley, Snow and Dressup fun!

Each of these things make me smile.My girls... so fun! Snowboarding with my nephews and sister was a blast.

The Betty

Happy Birthday to me! I have the best husband. He has taken me all over looking for the perfect bike. This one was in the window, waiting for me. Oh, yes, it was right there with it's sassy flames calling my name. Little dice on the valve caps... leather streamers, white wall tires, and a big phatty seat, flames in the rubber of the wheels and pink fenders. Who could ask for more?  Here it is. I ride the neighborhood with style and really really enjoy it. Who wouldn't! Anyway, just wanted you all to take a look! Yipee!

Classical Music

I have been listening to music on Pandora.com today. I have a classical piano station that I really really enjoy. The music has brought peace to my soul, calm to my heart and happiness. Not that I wasn't feeling happy before, but I think I need this kind of therapy every day. I live in chaos between getting kids up, to school, fed, clean up, get me dressed, diapers changed, etc and that is only the first hour of my day! Sound familiar to anyone? Yeah, well I am happy, I have embraced the chaos and truly find joy in my life. I am grateful for that, but sometimes I need to de-compress. This is a sure way to do it. I have started playing classical 89 in my car while driving with kids. Magically, really magically they calm down. I love it. Move over prozac!
