Daddy's Little Helper



Seth seems to love anything that breathes testosterone. I didn't know until I had a boy that there are most definitely innate male/female characteristics that they show even as babies. He's known since he was several months old that a car rolls along the ground, a ball is for throwing and bouncing, and he couldn't care less about that baby doll lying on the floor. (Although he LOVES real babies).

Kites



I bought the girls $1 kites at wal-mart so I took them over to the church to fly kites last Saturday. The wind was awesome and we had a blast. I don't often get outside to play with the kids and it was really nice. I've been trying to do it more and I never regret it when I do.

What goes on in those little minds?

A couple days ago, I was driving along with Lillian and Seth in the car. Lillian was looking at Seth and she asked me, "Mom, is Seth's spirit a baby?" I told her that his spirit wasn't a baby, that it was as old as ours. She said, "Then how does it fit inside his body?"

Help!!!

I really need someone to give me a a serious tutorial on this blogging thing! Look at my post below. Why, when I have paragraph separations in my draft, once I post it they disappear and it all gets smushed together? I've tried posting this three different times and it's turned out like this every time. Wassup?

Tagged

So my sister Kendell tagged me recently, so I guess I HAVE to do this! :-)


What was I doing ten years ago...


I was touring as the Stage Manager for the Shanghai Acrobatic Theatre, and David was the Tour Manager. Didn't sleep for two months. Wackiest two months of my life. Wouldn't do it again...wouldn't trade the experience for anything.


5 things on my to do list.


1. Clean out my file drawers.
2. Then file my mile high stack of papers.
3. Get the rest of my home office organized once and for all.
4. Finish the remodel on our stairs
5. Finish the refinishing of my doggon kitchen cabinets!


3 bad habits


1. Reading when I should be getting something else accomplished.
2. Not taking care of papers/mail as soon as they come in the door (see the constant stack in my kitchen)
3. The Office on NBC - I've been catching up on all the seasons I've missed and now I'm addicted.


Places I have lived


In order...
Turner, Oregon
Mesa, Arizona
Salem, Oregon
Provo, Utah
Pleasant Grove, Utah
Los Angeles, California
Portland, Oregon (Beaverton, to be exact)
American Fork, Utah
Orem, Utah
To be continued...


Things most people don't know about me


I made it onto the JV basketball team in 10th grade and then quit a month later to be in the school musical. One of the best freakin' decisions I ever made.


I was chosen to sing the National Anthem at a Blazer game, but then couldn't do it because I was away at college. :-(


I am very afraid of the water. Especially water I cannot see through. But Val, I'll still go out on your boat if you invite me! :-)


Tag, you're it to...Shannon, Libby, & Wendy B.
