Blog Tag AGAIN

Maybe I spoke too soon with my last entry, but as a friend recently noted, you can learn a lot about a person from reading their blog...like for instance, how well they know how to use a computer, and upload photos in their blog...I will do my best.

The rules are you have to take ten pictures of the following things. And you have to do it right away. No straightening, cleaning or wiping your child's nose. Then you tag five others.

1. The kitchen sink














2. The Toilet - See previous post:)

















3. Laundry room...we just got this new washer and dryer, and boy am I excited, but I do still have to go to the garage in order to do it.












4. The Fridge - I never noticed how many condiments we have!!!



















5. What are my kids doing right now. Sleeping, Maira and Arami have taken up the permanent sleepover position. I would like to know what happens to us in our adulthood that makes it so darn painful to sleep anywhere but our own beds...I mean, they are CHOOSING to sleep on the floor???
























6. Favorite shoes - not really a shoe girl, but these are kinda comfy, and here for the photo.












7. Favorite room - the "school room" it isn't fancy, but definately efficient and we get to eat here too, that is an added bonus!



8. Closet, this is David's side, nobody said that we had to use a certain view, like including mine.


















9. Dream vacation, well, it would be with my family, somewhere warm and sandy.

10. Self portrait - sure am glad that I decided to look like a human today.

















Who am I going to tag now....well, I have to admit that I have noticed several of my friends have been tagged already, (thought I was getting lucky so far, but Tara has shown me the love) so it would be pointless for me to re-tag them. I am going to have to do a double tagging then of Joan, Kathi J, Becky J, Chivaun, and Julie E.


Have fun!!! and make sure that you have some time, cuz it took me a while.

Blog Tag #1

Blog tag is fun, I hope that I didn't speak too soon!

Becky got me...so her it goes...I have to tell 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 obsessions, 3 random facts, and 3 people to tag next.

Joys
1. My kids of course, they are quite entertaining and definatley keep me busy.
2. My marriage, I have the best husband in the world.
3. Homeschooling, even though it is kind of connected to my kids, I see it as something different, I love that I can be such an integral part of what my children learn, and it is very gratifying.

Fears
1. Going to jail, I know it is pretty crazy because I am a law-abiding citizen, but can you imagine.
2. Tidal waves, since even before that one in Asia a couple of years ago, Can you imagine dying in water....eeeeek.
3. I am not afraid of death, for many reasons, but I can't imagine losing somebody close to me, especially my kids or husband, and I wouldn't want to leave my family, not for a really long time anyway.

Goals
1. Get all of my kids to graduate and go to college (if that is their goal anyhow)
2. See them all married in the temple.
3. Um...yeah, I guess it would be fair to say that I would like to be in better shape.

Obsessions
1. I am an obsessive list maker, I don't always do anything with them, but I make them.
2. Money, I could check and recheck our checking account several times a day, it is sick actually.
3. I needed help with the third, so I asked David, and he said "anybody over the age of 12 bathing daily!" Well, that is just an opinion, take it or leave it!

Random Facts
1. I have jumped out of 2 perfectly good airplanes, and gone bungy jumping.
2. I was an exchange student in Paraguay.
3. I know it sounds crazy, but I think I really would like to have more children.

3 People to tag
1. Joan
2. Kathi J.
3. Julie E.

Number Four







Amira is such a joy to have around...all of the other kids love her to death, and you can tell that she gets a lot of physical affection, especially, because she is affectionate. One of the things that she does is "kiss". With me, and Joan (my sister) is chin loving, but with Maira and David, it is their noses...and believe me, even though she is still toothless, it hurts!!!

Do you work here?

It has happened. I have joked recently about looking like a librarian in my glasses. A "HOT" librarian mind you....well, today while in the library with my kiddos, a nice woman, probably in her 60's (I mention that only to point out that it wasn't a child) asked me if I worked there. I smiled nicely and said no, but that I understood that the glasses were a little misleading!!!

It's about time!




"RESPONSIBILITY" was the theme last night for Family Home Evening. Dave and I decided that it was time to give some more of "IT" to the kiddos, so they learned how to properly clean the bathroom. Now, this is on their daily chore list, so bring your sunglasses next time you are over to protect your eyes from the SPARKLE!!!

Too Much Time

Ok, it may be hard to believe, but my dear husband only became aware of the blogging world like 5 days ago, and not only has he created like 4 different sites, he has done enough research to tell me places to go to set up a play list, and places to put cutesy little things here and there. I would like to take a vote as to wether anybody thinks that he maybe has a little too much time on his hands!!!

All in favor.... let him know that he can spend some of that extra time doing laundry, or maybe some dishes!
