OK, Here goes ... 25 Random Things About Me! (The other day Heath informed me that I was the only one that hadn't posted this yet ... HI, HUN ... here you go!)
1. I am horrible at these "Tag" things, they kind of have the same effect on me as "Chain Letters" do!
2. I HATE mornings.
3. I don't like getting ready for the day (although I do feel much better about myself and the day when I am done) and I don't like getting ready for bed (although I love bedtime.)
4. I have learned, just the last couple of years, that I LOVE getting a babysitter for my kids and that they LOVE having her come!
5. I really enjoy the bath. I love to fill it up to the top, let the overflow drain suck it out and fill it up again until ALL the hot water is gone!
6. I love to vacation ... and I always dream of vacationing where it is Warm!
7. Since getting married, (it has been 11 years) we have moved 9 times. (I HATE moving!)
8. I really do NOT like confrontation. Everybody should just mind their own business.
9. I LOVE it when all my kids are in bed and the house is so peaceful. This is my favorite time to have some ME time.
10. I really enjoy having a clean house. (My newly hired maid is my HERO.)
11. My drink of choice is WATER ... I am not a soda pop drinker.
12. We always have piles and piles of Laundry! It is never ending in our house, 6 people with dirty clothing and 2 adults who hate to Fold it is not a good match!
13. I really enjoy being Tan. My skin is so light that it takes a lot of time to accomplish this and in the winter I go right back to being "albino" color again.
14. I love having my hair high-lighted.
15. I do not drink Milk. I put very little milk on my cereal and when I take a spoonful I drain the milk off of my cereal before eating it.
16. I had Asthma pretty bad when I was little (I did outgrow it) and have passed that "wonderful" hacky cough on to all 4 of my kids. The nebulizeer is out all winter long at our house.
17. I enjoy taking photo's with my Nikon camera and always wish every photo was just a little bit better. (I am still learning photoshop ... that improves every picture)
18. I still don't know exactly what I want to "DO" or "BE" when I grow up. (Although being a stay at home mom and watching 2 extra kids keeps me busy enough to not really think to much about it yet.)
19. I love spending time my mom and sisters. (Hi, Guys)
20. I Love visiting Idaho to be with all my family!
21. I Love when Heath has the day off. It is so nice to have him home!
22. Heath and I dated in High School. We met when I was a sophomore and he was a junior. We started dating the next year. Heath then served his mission and we DID write the whole time. (Two of my sisters also married their missionaries. My dad always jokes that he had a better chance of winning the lottery (and he doesn't play)than having all his daughters write and marry their missionaries.)
23. I love to go all out for the holidays ... Decorations, Food, Gifts, etc. (I am not as good at this since I started having 6 kids running around my house everyday!) My mom is so good at this and has always made every holiday special for her kids. (Thanks for the cute Valentine Goodies) I am going to work on being better at this since I want my kids to remember this about me too.
24. I love to decorate my house. (I hate to decorate the rental home we live in right now ... I can't wait until this is FUN and easier again!)
25. I LOVE to Blog. It is a great way for me journal and to share our days with my family and friends.
THAT IS ME IN A NUT SHELL. I Tag Becky H., Taylee, Grandma Larae Merrill, Shelly B. (where are you ... we miss you) and anyone else who hasn't done this yet!
Hi, Chad and Jess!
Heath, Grandma, and I decided to take the kids ice skating at Tauphaus Park Ice Rink. Before going we headed to Big 5 to look at skates. While we were trying the skates on the kids, we set Kyler on the floor. He is so curious and moving around a little. When we got back in the car, Tydon noticed he was chewing on something. It was one of the little packets that you find in everything you buy, that says, "DO NOT EAT!" We called Grandpa to get the number for Poison Control. He quickly made the call for us and we found that it wasn't toxic, and we just needed to make sure he got lots of fluids. Crazy kid! You would think that 3 adults could manage 4 children. Hee Hee! 
We had a great time skating. Heath's parents and Eric were able to stop buy for a quick visit and to see the kids skate. At the end of the afternoon, Tydon and Grandma Sandy were having fun playing a little spinning game. Tydon fell and pulled Grandma down with him. Grandma's skate hit Tydon's cheek. He had a little scratch and even over a week later, still has his first "SHINER." Grandma, How is your Rear??
We went out to lunch at Burger King today. When we were ready to leave, Kamdon had put on his own coat. He was so proud and kept telling us, "DID IT MYSELF!" 
We had a great time together with Grandma Ice Skating. It had been ages since Heath and I had put on skates and it was a new adventure for our kids. They loved it and want to purchase skates! I did great as long as I could hold on to the stroller. Thanks, mom for a fun day at the movie and ice skating!
