Did you know...

I have never been one to enjoy the whole chain letter thing or the forwarded emails or even the blogging "tags" however, I love reading and learning about my friends funny little quirks and since I was tagged by two of my friends (Nicole and Megan) I thought I would try to do this one.

Here are the rules:
1. Link the person(s) who tagged you
2. Mention the rules on your blog
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
4. Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them

1. I love to watch pre-teen movies. You know the kind that they have on the Disney channel. I know isn't that dumb. Its not an addiction or anything, but if I am flipping channels and see one I have to watch it or DVR it. The cornier the better. Joshy thinks it is super funny that a grown woman can get all gushy over some highschool drama. But I like them!

2. I love to eat cold meat. If there is left over steak or chicken in the fridge from dinner, right before I go to bed I have to have a little bit of it. The best is roastbeef with mustard! hee hee

3. When I sleep I have to sleep with a heavy blanket. It could be 100 degrees and I would still need something heavy around me. We have a feather down on our bed and the whole thing usually ends up on me even in the summer .

4. I hate seeing things killed on the road. Probably everyone hates that too but it REALLY bothers me. We once saw a family of raccoons that had been ranover on the highway, two babies and then a mother. It was so sad to me that the mother was probably killed last and had seen her babies killed first that I started to cry. Josh hasn't let me live that one down yet!

5. I cannot ware gloves! I hate wearing gloves to do things. So if I am gardening or pulling weeds or anything--unless absolutely necessary--I will do it bare-handed.

6. I suffer from nonbuyers remorse. Most people buy too much and regret what they bought later--I am just the opposite. I get empowered by walking away from something that I really wanted. It is some sort of funny self discipline. So I am usually regretting what I DIDN'T buy as opposed to what I did. hee hee but I am richer in the end I guess.

Now I tag Brandy, Jess, Jilly, Jen, Erinn and Erin. I know you all have really cute and funny quirks. hee hee AND anyone else who wants to.

Curious of Curl

Ok So I need some advise!! I know some of you have fabulous hair and would like your input. I have a little bit of natural curl in my hair-- just enough to make straightening difficult but not enough to wear it curly. Anyway I need a change and am thinking curly but I don't want to get a perm I did the whole curly permy thing in Jr High and don't not wish to repeat it. So what do you suggest? I went to the store yesterday to buy some kind of product and wondered if these even work. They have all sorts of curly shampoos and conditioners, curling spray or gels. Have any of you tried these?!!

Cabin

Last weekend we went to the Cabin. It is probably one of my favorite places to go, with so many memories there! It is so fun to now get to share them with my own family and to see Josie be fascinated by the same things I was. Pine cones, tree sap, flowers, dragonflies, rocks and the water. It was lots of fun to just go and relax. Thanks Mom and Dad for sharing!! It wasn't super warm but still beautiful. We took the kiddos swimming, for walks, and a little boating. We found a whole bunch of little frogs by the waters edge that Josie just fell in love with. Here are some fun pictures we took.

Me and My Daddy

Here are some cute pictures of Trooper and Joshy. Troop sure loves his daddy and Joshy sure loves his little boy! I just loved these pictures of my boys. The older Trooper gets the more I am convinced that he is a little Josh. They have the same facial expressions. Sooo cute to me!

Fair time!!

So it has been a while since we have posted. We have been busy doing the Fallish things. I cannot believe summer is over and fall is here. We took our kids to the Fair this last week. Joshy mostly complained about it the whole time but he was still pretty sweet about it. I know that it is a huge rip off and dirty and mostly the same every year, but I cannot remember a year of my life without it. Its is just one of those funny traditions that I look forward to. So thanks Josh for putting up with the Fair for one more year. We went pretty early on the first day and it was great. There wasn't a big crowd yet and things were still pretty clean. We let Josie pick a ride that she wanted to go on and of course it was a "pink" one. Funny girl. Both our kids loved the animals. Troop LOVED the petting Zoo and giggled at the goats trying to eat him. I didn't bring our camera so no good pics. But we did have some great/awful food including the scone nuggets, chocolate dipped cheese cake and peach smoothy. We saw lots of our friends; the Vasas's, the Larsens, the Todds, the Sauers, the Greens, and the Thompsons. It is always fun to be in a hometown and run into old highschool friends as well. Anyway the kids and I had fun and I know at least Josie (and I) cannot wait for next year.

The Grass is Greener

So Josh brought home these pictures of one of his jobs that he is currently doing. I couldn't help but share these. I guess this family works overseas and came home after being gone for 10 months to find that their water had been running in their house the whole time. Wouldn't that be a fun thing to come home to. Grass growing in your living room. Their carpet was burgundy but it looks pretty green to me.

Pie Plunders

Our ward had a combined ward carnival/corn social this last weekend. It was so fun! Not only was the food delicious but the company was too. So here are a couple of pics I took of the pie eating contest! Enjoy!
