Why can't people spell??

Okay just a minute I have my moments where I can't spell too but come on this is crazy. Now that you are going what are you talking about I will elaborate. I was on my site meter and thought that I had a large number of random places visiting my site, mostly back East and Europe. So I wanted to know how they found me. The site meter tells me what word searches people use to come to my site. Here are a list of some of the words used in these random people's searches.

real santa pitchers

pitchers of santa

coler pitchers of santa

I am pretty sure that these people mean PICTURE so please you crazy East coasters lets learn how to spell P I C T U R E!! And the last one I believe is color but whatever.

Santa Snob

I am a self professed Santa Snob. I now have seen a variety of pictures of Santas that do NOT look like Santa. First, Santa wears a hat. I am tired of Santa's that are lacking in head gear it is crucial to painting the picture of the jolly man in his sleigh. I believe he would get VERY cold with out it. Second, Santa's suit is red. It is in no way multicolored, green or otherwise. Makayla has a book that clearly illustrates why Santa's suit is red and not anything else (afterall it is his favorite color). Third, Santa is fat. Not slightly skinny but plump. He is a round jolly man that is the essence of Christmas. Fourth, Santa says ho, ho, ho. Just ask Kaiden and Keagan they can tell you. If anyone becomes offended by this maybe they should evaluate their life. Fifth, Santa has a real beard. No fake beards I think that kids are smart enough to see through this so do everyone the favor and grow a nice white long beard. Now if you have any question in regards to what Santa should be Coca Cola has created a clear picture of what Santa should be and look like. Each year I go insearch of the right Santa. South Towne Santa does not meet my expectations. So this year we found him at the Gateway. He had a great high pitched voice with a fantastic ho, ho, ho.There were no lines to wait for him and he had the appropriate head gear and suit. He was awesome the kids loved him. Well okay just Makayla as you can see in the picture.

The Polar Express

sorry this is an old post but I thought that I should post it anyway.

My in-laws invited us to go on the Polar Express in Heber aka the Heber Creeper. This is so much fun. If you ever get a chance to go, do it. You sit on a really old train and travel to the North Pole where Santa is and he jumps on the train and then talks to all of the kids. The kids loved it we sang, drank hot chocolate, ate a cookie, read the story, and enjoyed being with family. Makayla was even asked to sing Jingle Bells for Santa which of course she jumped at the chance microphone and all. It would make a great family tradition but it is pricey!

The First Black Eye

About a week ago Kaiden decided that he would dive off of a chair and land into another one with his eye. So the result of eye-chair contact was a very bad black eye. It finally is clearing up! It was sad he would touch his eye and say ouchie. But he was a trooper he woke up the next morning with a smile and these are pictures of that happy black eyed Kaiden!So Sad!!

Snow and skiing

Most of you know that in my college days I was a professional ski instructor. Well now that I am back in Utah and I have a willing mother in law I am a ski instructor once again. I will be teaching skiing at The Canyons with my mom. I will be teaching just one day a week (a nice break). I was on snow on Tuesday for the first time. I was afraid I had forgotten everything but it all came back. Justin and I will be able to actually do some skiing this year. Between his rec club that he takes and the passes that I get we might get some really good days on the hill. It will be really fun to teach Makayla how to ski, she asks me constantly about her skis!

I wish it looked like this. Maybe after this snow storm this weekend!
