My quirks.

Ok so this is a tag where you post some of your quirks.

1. I have to have a blanket at night. I will make the room cold enough to justify it. If it is warm I will only cover half my body and have my feet sticking out.

2. I am disgusted by gum. Especially if I see your gum. i.e you playing with it or setting it on your plate etc. I will throw up in my mouth.

3. I can't stand having my fingernails, or toenails, filed. This will also make me throw up. Very strange, but true. This made going through nails in beauty school really interesting. Just thinking about it is giving me goosebumps.

4. I am obsessive about my alone time. (the innocent type) I will stay up till 3 in the morning just so I can relax. Or maybe I'm an insomniac, I think it's a little of both. I just have to have several hours to myself and I appreciate that more than sleep.

5. Just say no....to Obama! Haha I guess that's not one of my quirks. But seriously folks.

6. I can't stand hair in my bathtub or bathroom. This is ironic considering my profession.But there's a difference between me cutting it off you and it falling off you... I don't care what body hair, or whose it is. I'd better not see it!

7. I can't stand to eat leftovers. I'm not sure what it is. I'm not a germ-a-phobe, so it's not that I'm worried that it grew something over night, I just...I don't even know how to explain it. I guess if it's a leftover piece of cheesecake then I can handle it.

O.k I think that is enough for now. Hopefully some of you will still be my friends after I have mortally offended you. (see #2 or #5) I tag Sheri, Janel, Derek, and everyone else who wants to. This one is fun.

I love Beckham also.

I think Hammy felt left out of that last post, so I thought I'd post a picture of him too. He is still having ear infections and issues, so we are heading back to the e.n.t. specialist next week. We might end up with new tubes or another surgery, we'll see.










Here's the girls showing off their powdered donut dessert. See how good I am at sharing? They caught me getting into my not-so-secret stash and well, I had no choice but to share. Alright that's the not so exciting update from me! Also, since I ended up adding a picture of the girls, Beckham is still left out....

Did you miss me? Probably not....

O.k so it's been a while.(this is becoming a habit.) Well, let's just say that we moved and then my internet connection and phone line were busy having an affair with some other apartment or something. But, I forgave them, and we are all happy now. Although, I wonder sometimes while I'm online, if it was wishing I was someone else....So we are back in "charming" Forest Grove, Or. (I can't say that Tricia didn't warn me) The rainy depressing season is here, and I'm, well, depressed. I am counting down the hours till we move back to Arizona in February. While some of you may be counting the hours you have left without me. The girls started school 2 weeks ago and love it! Sami goes on mon, weds, fri and Katie goes on tues, and thurs. Here are pictures of their first days! (not to be confused with first times.)

Tagged!

O.k it's been awhile since I was tagged. I think people had given up on me for a while. So here it is!

Ten years ago I was...
16! Ah to be young again! I was probably hopefully maybe going on dates... We were living in Chandler, Arizona, and I was a sophmore in high school. I would have been attending classes faithfully every day, not enjoying pancakes at IHOP instead. I would also be charging my friends for the ice cream they were eating at my awesome tasty job-Baskin Robbins. (I made that pink shirt and visor look good) I would also have been injuring my ankle in volleyball at school.

5 things on my to-do list:
1. Get packed to move.
2. Enjoy a nice get-a-way to the anniversary inn in Logan Ut. (thanks to Jennie)
3. Get packed to move.
4. Enjoy my concealed carry permit class! (Merry christmas to me!)
5. Give poor Aaron a haircut and do my color.

A snack I enjoy...
Do I have to limit it to one? Recently I am really loving sour skittles and beef jerkey. Weird combination I know. And no, I am not pregnant. At least I don't think I am......

Things I would do if I were a millionaire:
Pay off Aarons' school debt. (ouch!)
Buy myself a nice new fancy minivan! (aaron can keep his old car...)
I would love to adopt some children from foreign countries. (then I could quit going through that painful process)
Help out family and friends!

Places I have lived:
Clearfield, Utah
Little Rock, Arkansas (for like 3 months)
Ogden, Utah
Sacramento, California
Some little town in northern California
Ogden, Utah
Chandler, Arizona
Gilbert, Arizona
Forest Grove, Oregon
Ogden, Utah
Clearfield,Utah

And now to tag some others: Becca, Mckenna, and Amelia. Two have new babies so I'll understand if you are otherwise engaged, but Becca no excuses...

All dressed up.

Here are the girls wearing new outfits and some dress up jewelery they got for b-day presents from their cousin Mikey. They also got little hair pieces. Way cute!

Travis' enlistment

So my brother Travis enlisted in the Utah National Guard yesterday. He is in the 141st Military intelligence unit. This is the same as my older brother Brent's unit. In fact, Brent is in Iraq and he did Trav's enlistment via camera over the internet. Brent says an oath and Trav repeats it. Since this is the 6th brother from my family enlisting there were reporters there. So that was

kind of funny. So thanks to Trav for his service!

In the first picture you can see Brent on the t.v on the left, and Trav is on the right. It was pretty cool.

Sami is getting on camera so that she can talk to uncle Brent!

Happy birthday Sami!

Sami is 4 years old today! Wow, that went by fast. To celebrate we went with Jennie, Meggie, Lincoln and Troy (mom, dad and katie too) to Kangaroo Zoo. It has a bunch of the bouncy blow up toys, and slides and such. The kids, and myself too, had a great time! They didn't want to go home. For some presents Sami got: A fairy wand and crown, a guitar, a barbie doll, and a barbie movie. She is very excited about them all.

Sami loves fireworks and enjoyed playing with sparklers yesterday.

Sami is my sensitve child. Katie is totally the boss of her, and one word from her, can send Sami into deep despair, or hysterics. This is rather unfortunate. But she also is very motherly. She always makes sure Beckham is taken care of. If he cries she always has an idea of what the reason is. She'll say, "He just needs some milk mom." Or something to that effect. She loves cheese, and yogurt, and sunflower seeds. She loves to dance and listen to music. She also plays a pretty wicked air guitar, and head bangs quite well. She is so fun, and is learning so much. She is excited to go back to school in a month, and talks about it a lot. She's my Samster the Hamster and I love her!
