I've been TAGGED!!

Hi everyone. I have been tagged by Courtney, which I guess means I am supposed to tell six quirky things about myself, that you may or may not know about me, and then pass the buck to four of you to in turn tell six quirky things about yourself. So here goes, my six quirks.

1* I like to eat malt-o-meal cereal plain with nothing on it. (not even milk)

2* I love the smell of Aspen Cologne, and Extra green spearmint gum, together. The mixed smell gives me a natural high.

3* I lock my doors anytime I am home, (even if Ray is home) and, I check my doors 3 or 4 times to make sure they are locked before going to sleep at night.

4* I count things out, like shampoo and conditioner get 5 counts each. Laundry Soap, gets 10 counts. Dish Soap gets 2 counts. When doing my hair, I have to pump 4 times anytime I hold the hairspray bottle.

5* When logging onto MSN, I have to log on and then log off and then log on again before checking my e-mail.

6* I brush my teeth twice before going to bed at night.

K, there you have it, my 6 quirks. Now it's time to pass it on.
So, I am tagging Rachel, Kasey, Shelise, and Terra. Love ya!!

I am thankful for a good running vehicle.

Yesterday evening I went to Wal Mart with my kids to do some grocery shopping. This means about a 20 minute drive. While on our way home from shopping at about 8:30 p.m. it had started to sprinkle a bit and was very very cold outside with a bit of a cold wind. Anyway, as we were driving I noticed a car up ahead with hazards on. The hood was up and so I slowed down just to make sure that it wasn't anyone from my ward. I noticed that it was a young mother with little kids. How scared she must have been. She was speaking on a cell phone, and motioned for me to keep going, while mouthing a thank you though. As I sped up on the freeway I said a silent prayer thanking my Heavenly Father for a good running vehicle, and a well working heater inside. So this is my thankful today. I am thankful for a good running vehicle.

Busted

Let me start off by saying that I thought both of my kids were sound asleep in bed and all was good. Well, I was wrong. Very, very wrong. Now for the story. I was in my kitchen loading the dishwasher and listening to Christmas music on the radio, when I thought I heard a soft giggle from upstairs. I quietly walked upstairs, checked on a sleeping Ellie, and then heard the giggle again and went in to check on Jake and found him coloring himself with an Orange marker. I told him it was very naughty, made him spend a few minutes in time out, and then quickly got a few pictures of him before putting his orange body in the tub. ( I was very tempted to swat his little bottom, but how can you get really mad at your son when he says to you right off, (look momma I draw a pretty picture for you to have) ? Anyway, here is his masterpiece. :) Let me add that I did not take pictures of the area he colored the most of and that was his belly and he even got a bit lower, he even managed to get his back side quite good too. THE STINKER

Jake's Hair Cut

I got tired of seeing Jake's hair get longer and longer. It was almost in his eyes, and had grown down over his ears. I was going to wait until I went south and let Brandi cut it, because he is always so wiggly, and cries when it gets icky (itchy). But, I decided to buck up and do it myself. And, might I say it turned out pretty decent.

It worked Finally..

I finally figured out how to personalize my template. I have tried a handful of times to get it to work, always doing something wrong which made it a no show. But, today I gave it one last try and it worked. I don't know that I will leave it this way, but for now this is how it will stay.

I think I've finally got the hang of this digiscrap stuff, and now I may become addicted. There is something wrong with this page. Does anyone care to make a suggestion on how to make it look better? I'm open to suggestions always.
