Dear Santa:

Dear Santa:
All I want for Christmas is a brand new SUV with heated leather seats, GPS, DVD player and pretty please, don't forget the SNOW TIRES!

I've been very good & would really like to stop sliding all over the roads...into oncoming traffic...
I'm sure the other parents would appreciate it if I would stop scaring their kids to death as I slide towards them in the school parking lot as well.

Leave the keys under the tree, I'll leave extra cookies.
Love,

Shari
p.s. I really love glossy black

Ethanisms

Here are a few of the funny little sayings from my 5 year old, Ethan.

I told Ethan that we were having sloppy joes for dinner. A bit later, he asked again what we were having, I said, "don't you remember?" Ethan says, "Oh yeah! Sloppos!"I laughed, & told him they were Sloppy Joe's. E says, "Oh! I got the SLOP, but not the JOE's!"

When I pointed out the very full yellow moon one night, Ethan says, "I think an astronaut letter a tooter up there"!

(Keep in mind the Kung Fu Panda movie) Sitting at dinner one night, Ethan lets a loud stinker. When we all look at him, he just says, "My bum didn't know it was the Dragon Master".

Lose something?

Ethan lost his first tooth a few weeks ago. I didn't even know it was loose! I come to pick him up from daycare and he tells me his tooth fell out. I was ready to attack the kid who knocked my son's tooth out! It took a minute to get the full story on how he yanked it out on the van ride between school & daycare. Sadly, the first baby tooth was lost in the abyss of the 15 passenger van, but he still got his dollar from the tooth fairy!

Browned & Drowned

Abbie & Ethan really took to the water like little fishes this year, both of them are(as seen here) diving & doing flips & hand stands & frankly, scaring their mom to death! What a great summer though, we spent lots of time outside getting browned & drowned.

1st day of School

The apron strings just got a little shorter. Ethan started kindergarten this week & is happy as a clam to be at school. Abbie has always loved school & is well adjusted to life as a 2nd grader! Such an emotional dilemma: be happy that your kid doesn't cry when you send them off to school/daycare, or be sad that he/she doesn't even wave goodbye?!

Christmas Carol Train

Disney's "A Christmas Carol" train was in town on Tuesday at the Union Station in Ogden. Because it was a free event, there was about a 2 hour wait to get inside. We saw a cool 3-D preview at the end as well, can't wait to see the movie!

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Okay, so Shae sent me this"photo tag" thing, so I'm passing it along, because it's a pretty cool idea, I think. So here is the photo from my 6th file/6th photo in "My Pictures" file, and I will attempt to send it on to 6 people: Amanda H., Holly, Elisa, Shanda, Audry & Amanda J.

This is Abbie & Ethan at Disneyland, September 2007. This was our first day there, & the first thing we saw in the park that day: Lightning McQueen & Mater, characters from Ethan's favorite movie at the time (which I think you can tell by the excitement on his face). It was also Abbie's 6th birthday!

I think we are all ready for another Disneyland trip!

Happy New Year!

Another year, come & gone. I FEEL another year older! Where did all of these damn wrinkles come from all of a sudden?!?

My resolution was to get the kids to school early and get myself to work early. So...today is the first day back for all of us and are we on time? Nope. Not even close...
So much for that resolution. My pathway of good intentions is nearing completion!

Anyway, happy new year to all, here's to another year of mediocrity! (ha-ha-ha)

Oh, and one more thing, anyone want to join me in the count-down to SUMMER?!
