First Day Of Snow!

ahh yes the snow has fallen, winter is fast approaching! the beauty of fresh fallen snow on the aspen trees, warm cups of hot chocolate, crisp mountain air tinkling your face, smell of fireplaces burning into the night, snowboarding/ skiing, snow ball fights, sledding, snow angels, christmas shopping, christmas music, decorations, cinnamon pine cones, and a white christmas. i love the snow and the feeling it brings of change but only until christmas, then i just want it all to go away! because then it becomes: icy roads, coldness, warming up the car, traffic accidents, coldness, some gloomy days with no sun, coldness, stomach flu's, kids trapped inside all day, coldness, muddy snow on everything, and the coldness that seeps through your body, making you wish for warmer days! ahh yes, the snow has fallen and here we go once again!

the sun was just a little too bright!

first taste of snow! its hard to even see her with all the layer of clothes, but she didn't care she loved it! first thing jaron wanted to do was make snowballs! not much snow but we managed

WEDDING RING NIGHTMARES

I am sad today. Sometimes I leave my wedding ring next to the kitchen sink and I know that it's not the best place to leave it ( and now I have learned my lesson). I am assuming that this morning when I saw Brinley playing in the sink ( she was washing her hands but then she likes to play afterward) that she grabbed my ring and thus it ended in the garbage disposal. As I went to turn on the disposal 20 minutes later I heard the dreaded grinding sound and of course at the time had know idea my ring was even missing and figured it was something else stuck down there. As I fished around for the item that was making that grinding sound I soon plucked out a familar yet mangeled ring and instantley came a flood of tears. Luckily for me I have a wonderful husband who spent over an hour (and making him an hour late for work) pulling apart the disposal and searched for it's missing diamonds. I am also very lucky that I use to work for an insurance company and that I have insured all of my valuable assets. If I had not worked in the industry of insurance I know that I would have never thought to insure or to take the time to insure my wedding ring. I am still sad. I really don't know if the ring can be fixed, it might just have to be replaced. I don't want a replacement I just want the same ring I received almost 10 years ago.

LIKE MOTHER, LIKE SON!

yes, i am officially a soccer mom! Jaron makes such a cute soccer player and i love to watch him play. i become such a proud mama as he runs onto the field and starts to practice it soon makes me realize how fast time flys. i can't believe jaron will be 5 next month and i swear it seemed like yesterday that this little man of mine was just a baby in my arms. i always joke with jaron and tell him to stop growing because it makes me sad and he giggles and says " i am mom, i am growing really big".

MY GIRLS

so I am a little behind on my blogging. After I got home from my last adventure ( my annual girls trip) life has been a whirlwind and I am just now catching up. This year our girls trip was in Park City. From our stay in the sliver kings penthouse ( thank you kara's dad), much need pedicure pampering, ziplining in olympic park, outlet shopping, white water rafting, amusement park/ water park fun, late night games, morning walks, hot tub hopping, fine dining, meeting the all so famous band tantric, SLEEPING IN, and just being with some incredible women minus one this year (missed you shaunna!). It was an amazing time as always and already can't wait until next year! Of course I can not help but to mention the wonderful support of our husbands who let us do this every year and who put up with our craziness and love us anyway!

EVERTHING PRINCESS

Brinley turned 3 on september 2nd and her birthday list included:

> princess inventations that her royalty decorated herself with stickers

> a royal luch at her FAVORITE place, Mcdonalds , in which only VIP's were invited

( Mom, Dad and her Grandparents)

>every princess must have her nails and toes done so off to the nail salon for some much needed pampering!

> She of course had say in which cake was to be presented at her party! She helped order only the best princess cake they had.

>a princess must always show up to her party in her best dress and hair curled and styled

>the party - Ballons, lights, a royal throne and lots of presents only fit for a princess!

> She ate, played , hoarded her presents to make sure no one touched them and actually smiled for the photographer ( which is rare)

( then the queen took a long nap, she was exhausted from all the party planning)
