I've Been Tagged

So apparently I was tagged a couple weeks ago by an old college roommate. You can tell that sometimes I don't get on the computer much due to a hectic life. I'm supposed to list 5 things that no one else knows about me. Here goes.....

1- I get migraines quite easily. I have my mother to thank for this. I get them a couple times a month. Thankfully mine have never been as bad as hers. Smells like someone with too much perfume can set them off, not eating every few hours, being in the hot sun all day will give me one the next day. The only time in my life that I don't get them is when I'm pregnant. Go figure. I don't think I want to be pregnant for the rest of my life. Why can't they figure out the hormones from pregnancy and inject me with them? I would go for that.

2- I sometimes wonder if I am A.D.D. I will be working on something and then think, oh I have laundry to do and then go get a load going. It is really bad at work. I will have paperwork I am working on, start typing something, go shred stuff, go talk to my boss, etc. I have to really make myself focus to get things done. It's like I don't know what project to work on first. Yikes.

3- Unless you grew up with me I don't think most people know that I still have a horse and I used to do quite a bit of showing. I did the whole English jumping and Western thing. I even got good enough that I used to jump bareback for fun. Oh the days.

4- This one is kinda quirky. I actually like filling out paperwork. Like when you go to the MD for the first time and they make you fill out your name, address, etc. If I get it in the mail I fill it out right then and there. Can't explain it, don't even want to try.

5- My husband just proposed to me for the first time last night. It was in front of the Boise Temple. He asked me to be sealed to him in the Salt Lake Temple. He even had new ring for me (I love it). To make a long story short he never proposed the first time. He basically handed me the ring and said "here." I still can't figure out why I didn't hand it back and tell him to do it the right way the first time. He likes to point out that if I had I would not have this new ring. I will post some pictures later once they are downloaded.

Now I'm supposed to tag 5 people: Cristiana, Emily, Kristy, Jeanette, Jill

A Great Find

Got a good deal on this seat for Braden at a consignment sale. After one mishap I decided that I will save it for a little bit longer until he can sit up more by himself. Braden does this hip moving thing all the time and danced his way right out of the seat. "He only had a slight red mark on his forehead for little bit." That comment didn't seem to comfort Rich.

I would like to thank my beautiful wife for being so loving and patient. I am a convert to the LDS church and I have taken my time to truly feel connected. Julie has always felt the connection and has quietly been waiting for the day that I would say, "You know...I truly feel that I have found my place and I can confidently say that I have a testimony of the church ." So on Friday, September 26 at 7:30pm we will enter the Boise Temple to receive our endowments. We are both very excited about what this means for us individually and as a family. We are so grateful to have this opportunity. We realize that it is impossible for all of our family and friends to be there, but we just want you to know that we will be thinking of you as we know we can count on your support.

Moshi, Moshi

Moshi, Moshi! We recently had another visit from Rich's cousin from Japan, Takahiro - whom Connor called Taco. Here is Connor trying on a kimono that Taka and his family had given to him as a gift. I wish we had remembered our camera at the airport; Connor looked so cute. We'll have to have him model it for us again and get some better photos. By the way, moshi moshi is a greeting in Japanese. And yeah, that's the Wonderpets on the tv in the background. Go Wonderpets!

Swimming at the Y

We went swimming at the Y with our cousins Hailee and Mallory. We also met Miss Stephie there from daycare with the other boys. We had a great time and I loved the kiddie area. We will definitely go back with dad next time.

Old Camping Photos

We haven't done as much camping as we would have liked this summer so I thought I would throw in some old photos of camping. These are from 2006 at Warm Lake. Connor was 1 in these photos.
It drove Rich crazy that he kept getting into the dogs water and was making mud (that is mr. clean for you). I finally just had to explain that we were camping and he wasn't going to be clean. He gave up after that.

Quote to Remember

I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
