Now YOU know my ABC's

A- ATTACHED OR SINGLE: Very attached, right through the heart.
B- BEST FRIEND: I honestly can't narrow it down. Aside from Danny of course, the top of the list for sure would be Alyshia, Leslie, Kristina, and Cassondra.
C- CAKE OR PIE: Hmmmmmmm, also a tough choice. Each has it's place. I LOVE pie for holidays! And what's a birthday without cake... If I was stranded with only one though I'd have to say... pie. Peach pie drizzled with carmel sauce on top.
D- DAY OF CHOICE: Whatever day Danny doesn't have to work, which this month is Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Yes, he still has a job.
E- ESSENTIAL ITEMS: Hold on, let me check in my bag to see what I keep with me all the time... lip gloss, eye shimmer, camera, phone, diapers, wipes, tissues, and a mini calendar... and goldfish crackers. You never know!
F- FAVORITE COLOR: Blue, any shade really, but especially periwinkle.
G- GUMMY BEARS OR GUMMY WORMS: Bears definitely. With frozen yogurt so they're cold.
H- HOMETOWN: Provo, UT. Like no place on earth.
I- INDULGENCE: Sleep. I love to wrap up in layers and layers of thick heavy blankets all the way up to my ears. In fact, I don't even have to be sleeping, maybe my indulgence is just lying in bed. Aaaaahhhh, I can feel it now.
J- JANUARY OR JULY: I really appreciate both. January is my new favorite month because as mentioned before Danny is home A LOT; we've been getting so much done!!! But July is rich in tradition and memory making weekends abound.
L- LIFE IS INCOMPLETE WITHOUT: A testimony. It changes everything about you, everything you do, everything you work for. I'm not trying to be cheesey, I'm totally serious. You have nothing without it.
M- MARRIAGE DATE: Friday December 15, 2000 at 2pm. Etched in there forever.
N- NUMBER OF SIBLINGS: 8 awesome brothers and 3 crazy sisters.
O- ORANGES OR APPLES: Both, you can't compare the two. ha ha.
P- PHOBIAS OR FEARS: I'm uncomfortable under bridges, and in narrow tunnels.
Q- QUOTES: We are what we repeatedly do; excellence then is not an act, but a habit. -Kristotle
R- REASON TO SMILE: Stetson. Stetson. Stetson. That boy has me mesmerized. Every grin, every expression, every laugh, every word... I can't get enough!
S- SEASON: Fall for sure. It's so romantic and magical.
T- TAGGED FRIENDS: No obligation but anyone on my blog list, otherwise I'll never see it.
U- UNKNOWN FACT ABOUT ME: If I had the discipline to wake up at 4:30 every morning, I would. I love early early early mornings (surprisingly, since my favorite indulgence is sleep!). Someday I'll get there.
V- VERY FAVORITE STORE: Costco. 6 years ago I was introduced to this store by my sister-in law, I left a little piece of my soul in there. It speaks to me, calls to me. Sometimes I go visit just to feel complete... and to get free samples.
W- WORST HABIT: I'm sure it's not my worst, but it's what came to mind. I hate how often we watch movies. Sometimes we put a movie on just because we're bored. I think it's too much when you get to the point that you're actually "movied out". There's beauty to be found in just sitting in a quiet room with your spouse. Reminds me of someplace else...
X- XRAY, ULTRASOUND, OR MAMMOGRAM: Is this asking my preference or if I've ever had them? I don't get it. Either way it's not like they're a day at the beach. Ultrasounds can be exciting though... Cassondra. 1 o'clock.
Y- YOUR FAVORITE FOOD: Home made bread. This kick has been lasting a while.
Z- ZODIAC: Aries- So here's a surprise... I'm stubborn, arrogant, and candid. It's in my planets... or something.
Here's a quick Aries profile from www.ncbuy.com: The Aries-born reflect leadership and initiative. They are strongly independent and determined, and have the physical stamina to stay their course. They tend to be very competitive, and may sometimes seem arrogant, domineering, or intolerant. The great strength of the Aries-born is their energy, initiative, and courage. Their ability to take a project and go with it is unparalleled. One of their great skills is reaching beyond normal limitations. Arians can be blunt, and they are bold and strong. They are self-contained, and sometimes selfish, but they are not loners. On the negative side, they are impulsive and compulsive, quick-tempered. At times, people can think they are brash, rude, and inconsiderate. But Aries is only doing what the Ram's nature tells them to do. In their leisure time, Aries tend to play as hard as they work. They greatly enjoy athletics, as sports give them a positive and healthy outlet for some of their natural aggression. In love relationships, Aries is playful and romantic.

We got Hops!

We went to Sky Mania to attend a birthday party for the daughter of a friend, it was so awesome! Just wall to wall trampolines... this is just the kiddie section. Avery takes after Danny in the sense that she is like a little leaping frog - you'll see it towards the end of the video. Danny to this day can stand next to a chain link fence, rib high, and jump straight over it. And he's rusty in his old age! Can you imagine him in his prime???

Daddy's Girl

Avery loves her silly Daddy. I could watch them play and listen to that giggle for hours!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STETSON!!!

My little cowboy turned 2 last weekend... how fun was that? WE LOVE BIRTHDAYS!!! We had a few friends over for a little party, then had a family party on his real birthday. And of course we ate cake and ice cream sandwiches for at least four days and kept the streamers and balloons up for a week!






Thanks Papa Ron and Nana for keeping the Razorback blood boiling in our family!

Everybody Chicken!

This is Avery and Brielle doing the chicken dance at a primary activity. You'll notice they 'freeze' as best as two squirrelly three year olds can when the music stops. Oh, wait, you can't hear the sound.

Rockin' n Rollin'

Gage rolled over a couple of weeks ago from his stomach to his back. I was so excited, it was completely unexpected, so I rolled him back onto his stomach to see if he'd do it again... this is what he thought about that.
