Not Freezing to Death


Since the weather has been so nice Dave and I decided to whisk the kids away to the beach for a few days. Here is Logan on the beach for the first time....just kidding. That's Colin from 2 years ago. I took some cute pictures of the boys yesterday in the backyard when we were all playing and for the life of me I can't get them from the camera to my computer. So I put this picture up to make my friend Tricia jealous because right now it's as warm as a summer day at the beach. Well, maybe not that warm but it sure is a heck of a nice day. On Sunday one of my friends said she was so sad because she was putting up her Christmas decorations and it was warm and sunny and she was getting hot. She misses the cold and the snow. I don't know how people can miss the cold and the snow when it's so beautiful. I will never understand the love of snow. I lived in it for three years in college and I can honestly say I don't miss it one little bit. Sure it's pretty to look at, but when you have to go out and walk to class and it's 20 degrees and you get all wet from it and your toes start to freeze...no thank you. I will take 78 degrees in the middle of November any day. So sorry Tricia that you're already freezing to death. I am going to go open another window to let in some of this nice, fall air.

I have mixed feelings about the weather. Of course I love how nice it is, but I too enjoy colder weather around the holidays. You're right about the snow though. It is wonderful to look at through the window while you are sitting inside in the warm house, but going out in it stinks. I guess I will just enjoy our weather and take the kids to the park.

You are so funny!! I love the picture! But I do feel that when it starts getting cold and the leaves start changing, it sets a nice holiday feeling. I like to go to the mountains and play in the snow, I don't like to drive in it.

You are loved silly! It's funny cause I often worried that we wouldn't be friends this long. I mean we made promises when we were in elementary school, but we have been through so much together, so now you are stuck with me till we die! Well I guess even after we die too :) You are the one I count as my oldest and longest friendship! We did meet when we were two after all :)
P.S. What a fun get away... I went to Utah (cold!!!)

How fun that you got to get away for the weekend! I hope the weather was good for you guys and that no one got sick. :) I really miss living in the snow (I know, I'm crazy) but there is definitely something to be said about living in a warm place and being able to let your kids play outside in the middle of winter!!
