Dear House,
I don't really like you.. I don't really get you. and personally think you are way to much work then you are actually worth.. But I beg of you. to just stop being such PAIN ! Yes, we made a mistake when we bought you.. lets bygones be bygones. your stuck with me.. I'm stuck with you.. how bout we play nice. and let me play catch up on all your flaws. Before you show me a new one. I just want to portray the potential you had at the beginning. Back off me or I swear I light the match and put you out of your misery.

Dear Computer
You and I have been somewhat attached as of late. And while I think about breaking up with you from time to time. I must admit I cannot live with out you. You are my window to the outside world. And I am completely addicted. But soon or later I am going to have to take a break & see real people. Until then keep luring my back and showing me all your wonders. I love it.

Dear DAM Van
Well, we made it another year of repairs. And you are still hang'n in there. Are you running out of things for me to repair yet? No? Damn. Well the good news is you are basically paid off. So if you don't think I care now.. just wait. I deem you now expendable.. Be good, behave.. And I might keep you out of the scrap yard. Hey, I might even replace the scotch tape on the tail light for some real glue! Let's be friends.. for your sake.
Dam Van's can't live with em.. can't live with out em

Dear Mr. Obama
Well, you did it. And this new year you will be officially in charge. I'm going to go out on a limb here and give you some positive support. You got a big big big mess to clean up, and I certainly don't envy you.. I expect you to make mistakes.. it happens.. but just don't make it a habit okay.You are working with a pretty thread bare constitution.. I hope you can do something to patch it up or something. Good luck, God bless you. Please be awesome. Like super hero awesome! No pressure... okay.. there's pressure... lots and lots of pressure... Lets be honest,we'll be watching you like hawks.

Dear Vedah,
I so love you.. you fat dog.. But know that you will forever be my fat dog. Thanks for being such a good girl. I just have a few things I would like for you to work on.. Please for the love of all that is holy stop going nuts and making such a ruckus over the mailman... you scare him and one of these days he is going to pepper spray your A.. I don't really want that to happen.. It's hard to convince him that you really are a sweetie. when you hair is raised and your are barking your head off at him.. Work with me here and I'll give you 2 pieces of Junk mail to shred. Oh, Stop barking like a mad dog at people who have more color then we do. .are you racist?! And if you could just poop in the corner of the yard I would appreciate that too. Also, I understand the need to chew and while you have done tons better.. do we really need to destroy the plastic cups... stuffed animals..... and crayons and pencils?... . . If you really need to, could you please clean it up after your done?
Thanks for not peeing in the house. And being such a sweetie.
Consider yourself part of the family.. No matter what Jameson's says.
We love ya!'

Dear Paul.
You made it through your very last semester EVER!! What in the world will you do with all the extra time? ( Don't worry.. I have idea's) You have been really great and amazing in ways that I never could be. You have worked wonders in the finance department and I must give you mad props! Everybody could learn a lesson or two from you about budgeting and finances. No matter how much grief I give you... you've been great. Now, I know they're will be some adjustments now that you will be home before 11 p.m. Feel free to step up and in with helping the kids.. don't be shy. Stay out of my kitchen! I know what I'm doing.. I do not need comments from the peanut gallery. Please don't come bother me just because your bored and don't know what to do with yourself. Feel free to go after that raise/promotion/ when ever your ready.( I'm here for you big boy!) I'm still madly in love with you.And freaking proud of you! So glad your my best friend.. Here is to the next step! I hope this year brings lots of good things for you and all your hard work.
love, your hotty wife.

Yay!! ALL your teeth came in!!!! ( you can thank my genes for that .. who pulled thru for you huh?!!!) waiting those 6 mo was just torture wasn't it I was think'n they were MIA!! You've been a great kid. and have really started to shine in school. I'm so proud of you.
A few reminders.. You can't be the best at everything all the time. feel free to let someone else be cool just for a moment. Good work = hard work. Effort is everything ,you can't be naturally gifted in all departments. Even super hero's work hard. Soon as you figure that out. The world is your oyster. You could succeed at anything. Weather it be .. Athletic.. Educational...Creativity... You are just so naturally well rounded & gifted. And such a good kid. Thanks for helping me out so much and being a good big brother to the others.. You have been great with Zoey.. .Try not to give Ethan such a hard time, I know it's only natural.. but still... and for the love of Pete CALM DOWN and try to control some of that never ending energy of yours. Now come here and let me see your kissing spot. I Love that big heart of yours.
Love you till your completely embarrassed.
Mom
P.S. Stop hitting on all the girls . . .
You smart little stink. This year has been a crazy one. And you've taken it like a champ! I am super proud of you. Keeping pushing yourself!!! Now, You are perfectly capable of doing big boy chores.. "I can't do it." Doesn't work on me. Gett'er done! You sense of humor is the best. Your wit saves you a lot from getting in trouble. However, the glint in your eye tells me alot of what really happened. Your quite little self isn't fooling me. So please for the love of Pete, quit TEASING everyone!!!! Especially your sister. (All the cracks you make under your breath still count as teasing!) You get the snot beat out of you almost daily between Jameson and Zoey...I know you think it's worth it.. Well, you are tougher then you let on that is for sure.
You are by far the easiest kid to handle, thanks for not being crazy all the time. You can come to the store with me anytime you are so well behaved. Thanks for make'n me laugh.. even when I'm supposed to be mad. Now Go show the world what your all about!
lots of love
Mom
P.S. Come here .. I got a secret for you.. . . .

You have been quite a bit of fun and are quite silly. You crack me up with your sass and thinking you are as big as everyone else. I love how you LOVE to help me in all the baking and cleaning.
I know it makes your feel all big. Ya cute little stink.
I dare say we have gotten past MOST of the tantrum stage.. and for this can I just say THANK-YOU!!!
You have finally finished up being potty trained, ( knock on wood.) another big milestone. I can't believe how stubborn you were about that. But it HAD to be your idea... why I thought this was going to be different then anything else. . .
Couple things. . .Stop screaming every time Ethan looks at your wrong or makes you mad.
And please Use your INDOOR voice. I promise I can hear you just fine. Really.
Also. you really need to learn the meaning of personal space you don't have to be in my face all the time. I'm just ask'n for 2 in of breathing room here. Oh.. and stop mimicking me every time I put a hand on my hip and make a "I'm not play'n" face.. it takes away my point!
You really are a sweetheart, who tries to make me happy. And you do. I'm proud of you. I love ya baby girl! ( sorry, you're not a baby.)
I "luby" you!
Mom
Dear: End of the year,
Holy Crap you went so fast this year!
Lots of crazy stuff has gone on! Crazy stuff!
Economy falling, Gas prices raising to past$4.00 then falling sharply to $1.50 ( not complaining there.) Wall street.. having to be bailed out by the government.. now along with the Auto industry, just to name a few of the biggies.
But in truth this has been a pretty good year for our family.
I was able to stay home.. can I just tell you what a leap of faith that was! I'm still looking back at that jump and wondering how we made that! But it worked out. And for that I'm grateful.
Paul finished all of his schooling.. another thing I swear would never happen.
All my kids are healthy and happy. No massive crises there.
So I don't have really any complaints this year, In fact I feel a great amount of gratitude for how blessed we really were.
So here is to you 08 for all the new things that happened both good and bad. You will definitely be going down in history for all the stuff that has happened to you in your year. But for me and my family we will have no complaints.

( I wish I could take credit for this letter idea.. I'm just not that cool. I think I saw this on Jessica's blog awhile ago and thought it was great way to round up the year. copying is the best form a flattery right?)

What a way to end the year! You have had an awesome year and plenty of action to say the least. I am sad that this year included your bestest buddy moving away, but I am glad that we still talk like we live 5 minutes away, and call everytime we think something is funny. (no matter if we just got off the phone) I am sure that 09 will be a great year for you too. Not to mention that Mr. Mehoff is still trying to get Paul here.
ur so creative~ I loved reading that, I can too much relate to the house thing and the car thing, man oh man, what I would give to trade in my 96 Mazda (I would even take the worst looking mini van at this point, as long as it runs) LOL. Happy New Year, I hope you have a great one!
I love your letters, especially the ones to the house, the van and Vedah. Sooo funny. Oh, and I love how you tell Paul to stay out of your kitchen. Glad '08 was so good for your family and I hope '09 is even better!
hahhahaah this is SUCH a great post! i'm totally stealing it back and writing one of my own.
here's hoping 2009 is the best ever for you and the fam. paul is done with school, finally! to me, it seemed like he's been going for 34 years. must seem like double that for you.
much love from utah.
Happy New Year! All the letters were fun to read and I know that your children will have a blast reading them when they get older.
You are such a Great mom!
How cute! I always love to read your blog...you always have such cute ideas! What a fun way to remember things.
Congratulations on the NO MORE SCHOOL...EVER!!!! I can just feel your excitement.
Best luck and many blessings this new year.
