All of the taggings!

So I have been out of town for the past week. (We took the kids to Disneyland) and I really got behind on blogging. Or as Carrie says "You don't blog". I know. I have been so busy. And blogging really does take time. Anyway so I am going to do all the tagging at once and call it good. I will post again later on our trip to Disneyland.
7 random Things
1- I hate it when a football player is tackled and his shoulder pads come out of his jersey. And then they run to the side lines with it flapping.
2- I get teary eyed when I walk under that bridge into Disneyland. It always brings back memories of my childhood.
3- There was a favorite pantry closet in my Nana's house that when I go and visit it is the first thing I do. Walk to the pantry and take a huge breathe of the wonderful smells of all the spices.
4- Like Marci, I love shopping for fabric. I can't sew, you can ask her. But I love to get fabric or packs to make things and love to put them in the sew basket for a the next day that I know I will start that project.
5- Every time I call my mom, she is in the bathroom. Either doing whatever, showering, makeup or her hair. Never fails when I call. Does not matter what time of day.
6- I hate grass hoppers. When we were doing our family pictures this summer we had to go into a field and there were grasshoppers everywhere. The kids were cracking up because I was freaking out.
7- I hate going to the zoo. You know that part at Hogol Zoo where you are walking inside to go to another part of the building and you go through that part that has the trees and the birds flying around. Every time I have walked in there I get pooped on! I will go all the way around the building to get to the next corridor if I have to.

So there it is. I think that is all of them. I guess I could tag all of my sister- in- laws. I don't think it has reached to them yet. Yes, that is you Sharon, Amy, Lisa and Lyndzi. Love you all.

So much going on!







So much has been going on in the last few weeks. It was Coops birthday then there was Halloween. Before that Bryan got to go to a Jazz game. A kid's parents gave all the coaches from the football team their tickets. The price on the ticket was $1,050.00. They were right behind the announcers. Dani, Austin and I went to the BYU game. Dani had double luck. First David Nixon is starting to recognize her. not sure if that is good or bad. So a new picture with him. And then her favorite basketball player was at the game and we saw him and she got another picture. Tonight the three of us are going to a BYU football fireside here in Springville. She is hoping to get a "pre-engagement" picture with him. Since they will both be dressed up. She is looking forward to something new. I suggest anyone with youth if you can attend one of these firesides. They are so amazing. These men who play on the field and the ones that coach them put on an awesome fireside. Tomorrow is another big day, Austin has his first game as a Rotary Warrior. They play in Salt Lake at nine a.m. and then the last home football game of the year. GO AUSTIN and GO Cougars!!! Coop is still keeping us busy and loves school. Baylie loved her skirt I made her for Halloween. I can't believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner.
