Tagged

This is my first time being tagged and I was tagged by my friend Krista (scottkristalukas.blogspot.com). Which I'm kind of glad about cause I've been in a bloggers rut lately.

So I'm supposed to list 7 things about myself that are hopefully interesting. So here it goes:

1. Chad and I are in the adoption process! Don't get too excited yet because we're at the beginning of the process, we still have a mountain of papers to fill out. But we're excited and will be even more excited once we're actually on the list.

2. It makes me nauseous if I try and take my pulse.

3. One church calling that I've had that has made me actually not want to go to church was being the Relief Society pianist in our first young married ward. I would get so nervous and mess up and it was so embarassing. I would soooo much rather give a talk or a lesson than accompany someone on the piano.

4. I am the Rubiks Race queen! There are very few people that can beat me (I will give Courtney credit for beating me sometimes) other than that people just stop trying cause I'm so good. If you're wondering what the heck it is - take yourself back to the 80s when rubiks cubes were in and they made it into this game for 2 players and blah, blah, blah - its hard to explain on paper. Anyone up for a challenge?? I'm always up for a little competition.

5. I got 12 of my teeth pulled out at one time when I was 12 years old (4 baby teeth, 4 molars, and 4 wisdom teeth).

6. While here in Boise I played on an indoor soccer team for a while. Very fun.

7. If I have a choice between chocolate or carmel, hands down I will choose carmel - homemade, soft, chewy carmel. YUM! So much better than chocolate. Don't get me wrong I like chocolate too, but carmel is just better.

So now I'm tagging:

Brittany
Carrie
Courtney
Emily B.
Heather
Katie Bullock
Matthew L.

And I apologize to some of you long time bloggers who've had to do this more than once.

Unknown said...: those were so fun to read!! It made me laugh that it makes you nausious to take your pulse and excited that you have started the process of adoption! I never knew you were the competitive type--all I needed was a rubix cube to bring it out in you?

I'll start thinking about interesting things about myself...; Wednesday, October 31, 2007 6:12:00 AM

Ethan & Gavin Quotes Worth Repeating:

The best is when Gavin tells me, "You're my best mom!" And when he comes out from his nap and says, "Mom, I still love you." (I love the "still" part - I'm just glad his feelings didn't change during his nap).

This morning Gavin saw the medicine cups on the counter and said he needed medicine. Since he's not sick, I said, "You don't need medicine, you're not sick." He goes all whiny, "but I am sick! I'm sick of cereal." (January 6, 2015)

Today I shared half of my cookie with Gavin, he very politely replied when I handed it to him, "Thanks mom! Good job sharing!" (Sept 20, 2014)

This was told to me by my neighbor while Gavin was at her house playing with her daughter, Emma.
Emma tells Gavin, "I have a bum."
Gavin: "I think I have a bum too."
All the while looking behind them trying to get a peak at their own bums. I love conversations between three year olds! (Sept, 2014)

I was talking to Ethan about my on t.v. interview the next day. He was a little nervous I'd embarass him and goes, "Mom, I really don't want you to make a fool of this family!" (July 11,2013)

On Friday we took Ethan and 5 of his friends somewhere for his birthday. We borrowed my brother's car since its big and it could fit all of us. When we all got in the car the boys were saying how the owner of the car must be rich because the car was so big. They were informed that the car belonged to Ethan's uncle. They were still in awe of how rich he must be when Ethan exclaimed, "He's a redhead, of course he's rich!" Hmm...if only I were a redhead. (January 14, 2011)

Ethan gave Tito a little kiss on the head. After he kissed him he was wiping Tito's head off and said, "I'm wiping the wetness off, but the love's still there." So profound. (October 10, 2010)

My sis-in-law Mel and I took our kids to a pool to swim pretty far from our house. They'd been in the car probably for about 30-45 min. I hear Ethan in the backseat ask his fellow cousins, "Are you guys having fun? I'm having fun just talking!" (October 7, 2010)

One morning as Ethan was requesting some breakfast, he said, "Hey, you're kind of like my servant!" He was quite pleased with that discovery. (May, 2010)

At dinner Ethan says to Chad, "Dad, how do you eat in like two seconds?!"

Chad: "Cause I'm a pig."

Ethan: "Pigs don't eat THAT fast!" (March 4, 2010)

While driving in the car I was telling Ethan how he was going to play with his good friend Hayden the next day. Ethan hesitates, "Well. . .I was going to do some research tomorrow." "Oh really, well what are you going to research?" "Oh, I was going to do some research on my mission." (3/13/08)

One Sunday during the Sacrament Ethan whispers to me:
"I can't think of Jesus, I can only think of Superheroes."
