Quirky me!

Okay this may be one of those post that tells alittle more of my crazy side then I am normally willing to show, but oh well. I was tagged by my darling sister Megan who I can always count on to help remind me just how weird I am.

Rules: link the person who tagged you. Mention these rules on your blog.

Tell 6 UNSPECTACULAR Quirks about yourself and tag 6 fellow bloggers.

1. I am terrified of Grasshoppers! They are so unpredictable. You think you can run passed them but they somehow always manage to jump right on to your leg, or arm. It is the worst felling to have one of these suckers on your body. I wish I had an audio tape of what happens when one lands on me.

2. I have crocked pinky fingers. Yes, both of them. No, they were not crushed as a small child, I was born like this. I do know of one other person who has them too. It makes for interesting conversation at parties though.

3. When eating Pizza I always order Pepperoni, but I always pick off the Pepperoni. Why not just order a Cheese Pizza you say, well that would be just to NORMAL.

4. After the carpet is freshly vacuumed, I try to go as long as I can without walking on it.(sometimes days) At least the main areas. I will walk right along the edge to the couches so a not to mess up the nice vacuum lines. I think this is a problem that goes back to my Grandma Mitchell, who always loved the way her Blue Living room carpet looked just after it had been vacuumed.

5. I am a list maker, everyday I make a list of all the things I need/want to do that day. I usually put it on a Yellow post-it note for some reason. When I finish a task I but a little check next to what I have done. When I am lying in bed trying to fall asleep, I will think of something to add to the list, and immediately jump out of bed and add it to the list, so I don't forget it by morning.

6. I hate to sleep on my stomach. Flat on my back or on my left side only! However after I have a baby, one of the first nights home from the Hospital I will spend on full night asleep on my stomach. I guess just because I wasn't able to for 9 months, even if I wanted to.


Well, there you have it. Everything you could ever want to know about me. Or everything you never wanted to know for that matter.

I tag Chaleese, Michelle Burgin(that will take me awhile to get used to), Jamie, Mindi, Jessica H. Jessica L. and anyone else who wants to do it.

Count your Blessings

I recently ran across the blog of a sweet girl who grew up by me. In her blog she talked about the struggles she and her husband were having while trying to adopt a baby. I remember running in to her at a Elementary School program for my nephew after I had just had Brighton. She said they were looking into adoption. That was almost three years ago. Well they are finally getting a Baby Girl! I can not even begin to imagine what they have been through these last few years. And I have so much respect for the girl who is giving up her baby, so they can start there little Family. I think it is easy for me to forget how truly blessed I was to be able to get my two little guys here without to much trouble. I'm thankful everyday to be a Mother and for my two Busy but Beautiful little boys.

Super CrAzY week

Last week was a little crazy, so crazy in fact that I am just getting around to posting about it.
My sister Jen , her husband Joe, and there dog Bo where in town. We love when they all come out, and wish they lived closer. We had Family pictures 8 kids age 10 and under and 1 dog - CraZy! It was my mother in-laws Birthday. Landon ran 100+ degree fevers for three days, then broke out in a awful rash. Two doctors visits later we discovered he had Roseola. Sean changed to a night schedule at work. My parents had there 38th anniversary. I had to teach the lesson in Relief Society for the first time. Landon had 9 month pictures(after the rash went away of coarse). It was Sean's birthday. We were a one car family, trying to decide what we wanted my Dad to get us. And Landon started to cut two more teeth. PHEW! I am so glad it's over. We did manage to go to Thanksgiving Point with my parents and Jen and Joe, and had a wonderful time. Brighton loved squishing grasshoppers with my mom at the Gardens, and throwing rocks at the Frogs with my Dad. And then there was the Farm, lets just say Brighton learned that everybody really does poop - even Animals. And lets not forget the Pony rides. I think he could have stayed on all day. Also Jen and Joe bought the Nieces and Nephews a Bounce House. They are for sure the favorite Aunt and Uncle.

One Year Older and Wiser Too...

Happy Birthday to You!

Two post in one day?

Just quickly, here is what happens when a almost three year old gets hold of scissors. Baby brother gets a few chunks taken out of the Mow Hawk! Just in time for Family Pictures tonight.

Here's to Mom and Dad!

My Parents Celebrate there Anniversary on the 11th of this month. Neither of them will probably ever read my blog, (mostly because they have very limited computer skills) but I wanted to Congratulate them any way. They are amazing. They do so much for all of there kids and Grand kids. They are always willing to loan someone a Car, watch some one's kids, feed someone Dinner. Really they are so great. I know they must love us very much to put up with our Craziness! I always think it is so interesting that until you become a parent yourself, you don't realize how much yours mean to you. I love you guys. Thanks Mom and Dad for all you do for us. Hope you have a great anniversary. I promise not to bring my kids over on that day!:)
