I've been tagged...

Kayla tagged me about 6 things you may not know about me- so here we go...


1. I am a dishes freak. I hate having dirty dishes in the sink and cannot relax until they are done- I'm not kidding or exaggerating. They also have to be done my way- so OP pretty much never has to help (he's so sad about that) I am also known for having to do them at other's houses (I don't hear many complaints about that).



2. I'm an avid reader and book collector. I don't like getting books from the library because I just like the feel and smell of a good book (I know- weird, right?), plus I like to keep good ones around because I reread my favs often! In this past year I have read 58 books (and counting)- but I was on bed rest for a couple of months so I got a few extra in! By the way, I just finished Go Forward With Faith, and while I am going to miss having a daily dose of inspiration from President Hinckley, I have now moved on to another book. Check the right-hand column for more!

3. I watch the Disney channel... after I put my kids to bed. I know, it's embarrassing, but I like watching Hannah Montana, Cory in the House, and Phil of the Future. What can I say? I prefer these innocent shoes over the trash that seems to be on every other channel. Plus I don't miss any major plot lines when I put laundry away.

4. I really, truly enjoy cooking. I like creating my own recipes (you've got to try Chicken Poppers!), following traditional hand-me-down, tried-and-true delicious dishes (usually Nanny's), and sometimes (on those headache days) things that are out of a box. I like sitting down as a family without any outside distractions and just being together... I like having breakfast and dinner all together as a family and knowing that it is going to happen every day :)

5. I like painting- not on a canvas and not crafts- I like painting the inside of my home. The girl's room has been painted three times (in two years), Porter's room twice, and every other room (except the office- but I already have the paint, just need the time) has had it's own special color splattered on the walls. I'm not saying I'm good at it- I'm not. I have a special talent of getting paint under the blue tape that I spent an hour putting up and having uneven lines because of it. But I love doing it.

6. There is nothing I like more than pictures. I currently have 12 albums full- yep, 12 and that doesn't include the 7 scrapbook albums. And I'm about 6 months behind on my picture developing (I must be Snapfish's #1 customer). I love displaying pictures of those I love- especially my kiddies. I figure that I don't need any other artwork since these babies are my masterpiece.

I now pass this along to Whitney, Mom, Lindy and Emily!
