I've Been Tagged!

I've been tagged by Dawn!

Here are the rules: Each player answers the questions about themselves, and at the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, and then leaves a comment on their blog letting them know they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog to get the directions.

10 yrs ago:
Ten years ago I was a hyper freshmen at WSU dating a very handsome boy who later became my hubby. Life seemed much more care-free and spontaneous back then. I was studying Graphic Design/Fine Arts and spending a lot of time with Aaron and friends at the LDS Institute.

5 Things on my to do list Today:
1- Take Rylie and Chase (next door neighbor boy) to preschool.
2- Hem my pants (something you taller ladies may never have to worry about :-)
3- Fold laundry.
4- Order doors for our basement at Home Depot.
5- Take Kaeli to gymnastics.

Things I would do if I suddenly was a Billionaire:
I don't think I would change very much about my life style. I would pay off debts, secretly help those in need, and put the majority in savings. And I think I would want to travel a lot more and see the world. I've always wanted to backpack in New Zealand!

3 of my bad habits:
1- I am so ashamed to admit that I still bite my nails.
2- Sudoku! I'm a little OCD about it.
3- Saying, "Oh my heavens!" ...Is that a Utah thing?

Places I have lived:
Vernon, TX
Prosser, WA
Pullman, WA
Mount Rainier, WA
Pullman, WA
Alexandria, VA
Pullman, WA
Culpepper, VA
Albion, WA
Boise, ID
Herriman, UT

Jobs I have had:
Window washer, Plant pathologist's lab technician, "Dishdog" then Cashier for a burger grill on Mt. Rainier, Subway delivery driver, Soil/crop physicist's lab technician, Box Office Manager at the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra, graphic artist, and a MOM (the greatest job to have)!

Things most people don't know about me:
I summited Mount Rainier with my dad and brother when I was 18. I love the outdoors and would much rather be outside working then doing dishes. I love my trees and think they have feelings. I love to garden. I love to exercise and feel so much happier when I do. I love the sunshine and am in desperate need for Spring to come!

OK, so now I tag Jana, Kendra, Kiera, Karlyn, & Kristin! It's now your turn to post your responses to these catergories!

JANUARY

I love this picture of Aaron and Sara. Have you ever seen a STUDLIER daddy! This was taken on Sunday. We were actually trying to get a picture of Sara because she looks like a princess in that dress, but she wouldn't pause for a picture by herself so Aaron snatched her up.

I always wish I had more time to paint...and a place to do it! The dining room table gets sacrificed during my creative urges, and then for how ever long my project lasts we have to find a different area to eat dinner. This also happened last week when I brought out my sewing machine to hem pants, patch holes, and fix buttons. That's why I am so excited to get our basement DONE...or at least started! One of the rooms will be my ART STUDIO which I have always dreamt of since I was a kid. Any way, this is what I painted this week while Aaron was out of town on business. It helps to have little projects to do while he is gone, and it felt good to finally sit down and paint.

Kaeli's New Haircut!

This morning Kaeli got her haircut! She's been wanting to get it cut for quite awhile. Of course she had to get permission from daddy because Aaron loves his girls with long hair. Here are her BEFORE & AFTER shots:

BEFORE:

AFTER:

We call Kaeli "Mommy number 2" because she is so loving and nurturing to her little sisters. She is very responsible for her age and it's so cute to watch her interact with Sara. Kaeli is also a whole lot of FUN! She loves to giggle and play! She loves gymnastics and wants to start dance soon. She's very positive and is always looking for the best in people. She is a great friend to everyone! Boy do we love our Kaeli!

Rylie Jane

Here is little Rylie singing the alphabet. She was focusing very hard on singing loudly. I love this age! Rylie says the funniest things and comes to the most creative conclusions about so many things. She loves to dress up like a princess and is always looking for someone to marry her. She also loves to run SUPER FAST and show off her COOL TRICKS! She likes to be in charge and loves to PLAY! Her favorite things to wear are her camo pants, hiking boots, and her cinderella dress...what a combination! She also loves to have rides on daddy's motorcycle! She's a wild one and we sure do love her!
