It's hot today

Fall just started yesterday and I'm so ready for the seasons to change. It's very hot today and I'm over the heat.

Zoey came to work with me today because we are having our trees trimmed. I went home at lunch to survey the progress and wowzer, our huge tree in the back yard isn't so huge anymore. We have 3 groups of banana trees, one on the front side of the house and the other 2 are in the corners of the backyard. I can't wait to see when they're all done, I'll post some pictures.

We have a bunch of birthday's coming up in the near future, I'm excited for so much fun stuff. My younger brother isn't so young anymore, I asked him the other day what he wanted for his birthday next week and he replied "clothes" for the last 15 birthdays I have given my brother toys: basketballs, legos, race cars, and more recently video games. I know my brother isn't a child anymore, he towers over me by 8", but hearing him say clothes is reality that he is now a young adult. Maybe this makes me so sad because it's a chapter of our lives closing, since I'm 6 years older then Danielle and almost 10 years older then Josh I got to experience some of my favorite child hood memories twice. I remember going to Disneyland with them when they were old enough to really be excited, it's like seeing Disneyland for the first time all over again. And holidays, oh I could go on and on about how at 15 (Josh was 5) I still got to experience the joys of baking Santa and his reindeers cookies and waking up Christmas morning to find hot cocoa and loads of presents Santa had left.

When I think back to all the fun we used to have I'm grateful that now I have a blog to document everything.
