TAGGED!

I was tagged by my friend Mindy. I just did the first thing that came to mind, not exactly the deepest thoughts so here goes......

• I am: pregnant.
• I want: my children to know that I love them no matter what.
• I have: a lot of purses.
  
• I dislike: the green drink that my dad makes me try when ever we are in town. It has wheat grass and all kinds of veggies that he blends together and you have to chew it to get it down.
  
• I miss: friends and family in utah, utah weather.
  
• I fear: that I will always be disorganized. spiders.
• I feel: very, very pregnant.
• I hear: parker playing with blocks, and sadie telling me about pocahontas.
• I crave: grapefruits and rocky road ice cream (this changes on a weekly basis).
  
• I cry: whenever I laugh really hard.
  
• I usually: love to be around people, but sometimes I need my space.
  
• I search: for houses and cars online at least a couple times a week.
• I wonder: where we will be in a year.
• I regret: not getting better grades in high school.
  
• I love: Tyler, my kids, all of my family and friends.
  
• I care: that my house is clean when people come over.
  
• I always: try to get ready before Tyler gets home from school, but I have to admit that more often than not I am not ready.
• I worry: that I might not always say the right things...all the time.
• I am not: a sarcastic person...oh wait, I am very sarcastic.
• I remember: when I used to build tree huts in the big field by my friends house and we used to play truth or dare in them. that was when I had my first kiss.
• I believe: that everyone is trying to do their best and that it is hard not to judge people.

• I wish: I could live more in the moment and not worry so much about what is to come.
• I listen: to music really loud when I am alone in the car.
  
• I don't understand: how people can get so enraged about politics and stuff like that...to the point that it takes over their lives. I try not to worry too much about politics because worrying is not going to help out the situation. And I guess that I don't care as much as some people do. I did vote though.
• I can usually be found: hanging out at home. I am a homebody.
• I need: Tyler and my kids. And phone calls from my mom and sisters.
• I forget: anything that I don't write down.
• I am happy: when my kids are playing and laughing together. it doesn't seem like it happens as much as I would like these days.
  
• I tag: anyone that wants to do it!
  

i am forever traumatized

So yesterday Sadie and I were playing our 6th game of Memory and I happened to win this time. Sadie usually does not care if someone else wins. In fact, she has been known to not use her unicorn card free space card in the game Sequence because she does not want to win and have the game be over.

She must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed yesterday or something because she got all upset when I won and she went in the other room and crawled under a table where there were a pile of her dress ups. by the way, we were in the basement. I sat down on the couch and began to tell her that it is ok to lose sometimes and that it is important to be a good sport about it.

She looked out from the table and I looked at her...ok I am getting all itchy and squirmy just thinking about it! and there was a big brown spider on her face...right by her eye. Ya, you heard me right...a spider on her face. I jumped up and in that moment I knew I had to stay calm because I didn't want her to freak out like I was about to do. I took the remote and swiped it off her face and she must have felt it right then because she started shaking it off and yelling there's a spider on me!!

I grabbed her and I went upstairs to get one of Tyler's shoes. (I can't use my shoes because then I wont be able to wear them for a while...until I forget that I killed a spider with that shoe.) I started going through her dress ups and shaking them out. mind you, I am on a chair so the dang thing wont crawl on my foot. I see it trying to get away and I smash it with Tyler's shoe. It wasn't all the way dead, but i scooped it up on a little peice of cardboard that was laying around.

I took a picture of it and looked it up online and I am pretty sure that it is a wolf spider...or a grass spider. If anyone knows from this picture, let me know.
I was way more freaked out than Sadie was....I am still trying to recover from seeing a huge spider on her face.

halloween pictures

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love it!! This year, Sadie was a cat and Parker was a pirate. We did a lot of fun things that required me to dress the kids in their costumes way more than I would have liked to. :) But it was good times! Tyler dressed up as a creepy lion and I was a witch because I really did not have much that fit me. I was very limited. I am sure that I could have really used my imagination and come up with something creative..but I didn't. Halloween night we went to a party with friends from around here and it was way fun. We have great friends out here!

We went home to Utah for a couple of days because Tyler's brother, Jason married Whitney and we are so happy for them. Sadie was the flower girl and she loved every minute of it. It was funny because she was supposed to throw the flower pedals on the ground as she walked up, but she wanted to save them...she did throw a couple though. It was a fun day and we are excited that they finally tied the knot!

This picture makes me laugh! We went to get eye exams and the doctor dilated Tyler's eyes to check em' out. Afterward we went to eat at Blimpie they have $5 12 inch subs...love it! And he had to wear these glasses the whole time we ate and while we were driving. These look like the big glasses that old grannies wear!




Out to lunch with some of my favorite people to be with!!
