It's not personal its buisness

So one of my favorite movies of all time is "You've got mail" and my favorite line of it is when Tom Hanks says "It's not personal its buisness" and Meg Ryan says in return "I am so sick of people saying that. All that means is it is not personal to you." I have always whole heartedly agreed with her and have used her line many times when I have been on the personal end. And now as many of you know I am a buisness owner. And I am begining to see that while many people act to their advantage at others expense....there can be validity in the statement It's not personal its buisness. This is very hard for me to admit. But to all those out there who have been on the personal end of things know that there are some well meaning caring people out there who are can truly say "It's not personal it's buisness" :)

Words

I like words. I like games. I like philanthropy. This is all of them and learning, too.

Wow we can dance

Star in Your Own JibJab! It's Free!some friends of ours showed us some they had done and I thought it was so funny I wanted to do one of my own.

Fall Photos

I can't even tell you how many pictures we took trying to get one good pictures of our family. Four trips up the canyon and over 1000 pictures later (thank goodness for digital) we still havn't got one that we love....but here are a few of them (ok probably a lot more than a few) but hey it is still a small small percentage of the ones I could have posted :). And of course I had to add some of the ones Austin took of just our beautiful surrounding....wish we could get our family to look that good...He is an awsome photographer. Thanks for all beauty you capture for us Austin.

more funny pictures

Funny Everett

18 month old who knows how to take off his bib + Chocolate Pudding = mess :)

One morning after Avery was already backpack and all to go to school Everett brought me this backpack and said "please" so I put it on and he looked out the window for the bus to come dancing on the table and clapping. He was so excited he thought he was getting on the bus, becuase he had back pack on. He was cute and smug about it.

Happy Birthday

Ok so this is realy delayed but Avery turned four on sep 3rd. He had a great birthday. It was a dinosaur birthday which he loved. He had a friend party where we had pin the horn on the triceratops, a fossil hunt, pizza and dinosaur cupcakes....and then a family party as well. His cousins were singing realy well to him and he covered his ears funny boy.





Austin turned 30 on sep 13th. I had a surprise party for him the sat after his birthday we had lots of fun. The first picture is all the kids on the watch for austin to show up on his bike and let us know it was time to hide and the second was his face when we all yelled surprise. We had 12 adults and 17 kiddo's at the party.

Warhol Wife

We went out to take some fall family photos the other day. We'll post some when we get some worth posting. The boys are tough to coordinate with a timer or camera remote. Anyway, I took one of Katie that was interesting, and then fiddled around until I got this:


Hopefully we'll get some good shots of us all before the leaves leave.

Ambition

As I write this, about 9 hours have elapsed since my friend Brad (see link at left) started the LOTOJA-- the Logan to Jackson cycling race. Not only is it the longest single day race in North America, it's also one of the most grueling. It's got serious hills-- mountains really, it takes place at a high altitude, and did I mention it's really long? 206 miles. Well, here's kudos to you Brad. I came out to support you, but your group went up a closed road just a bit before I found you. Instead, I send on the wishes of this woman (blowing a kiss to you) and hope you have a speedy recovery after you finish in an hour or so.

Kids say the darndest things

So one day after learing the story of Shadrack Meshack and Abendago.....I have Avery in the tub and he is playing with his lego figures and I hear him calling them the funniest names....I ask him "Avery what are their names?" and he says "this is meshack this is moshack and this is to-bed-you-go. He is so funny. He is so so so into dinosaurs right now and we got some books from the library and he is like a sponge he can say the names of the dinosaurs that I can't even pronounce sometimes.

A couple weeks ago we were eating dinner and Everett was being fussy. I in a teasing tone leaned over the table and said "what is your problem kiddo" and he points his finget to Austin and says DAD. It was so funny.

Ballooning

The boys have a thing for balloons. They like them a lot. So we figured if a little ballon makes them happy, why not show them 'the big ones' as Avery would say. The Eden Balloon festival was this last weekend. We left at 5:30 thinking the boys would go back to sleep. Once the word balloon was mentioned though, they had no interest in going to sleep. Even Everett seemed to get it. They weren't disappointed.

Everett wanted to go for a ride

Avery was concerned they were going to come down on him. At times, I wondered about that too.

Small Medium Large

Austin wanted to go for the photography. He wasn't disappointed either.
He said the light beams in this photo are crepuscular rays.

This guy was being taken for a ride by the balloon. I think it was supposed to be the other way.










These of Everett are just too funny not to put on. The one is a teasing grumpy face he makes, it was taken right before he ran and tackled Avery (a game they play a lot). The other face is one that makes me laugh whenever I see it, I have no idea what the captions should read other than "hmmmm how can I get a ride in that balloon"
