Tiffany was behind in a few tags so I guess she decided to bring a few of us down with her! Luckily I had just done "The 8 Tag" so now I am only behind two. Just watch out for paybacks Tiff!! HAHA!! :)

First Tag: 4th Folder in my Photo's, 4th picture



Second Tag: 16 Random Things

1. When I am eating a few different foods on one plate, they CAN NOT touch each other! It's gross and they have to be seperated! I have been like this since I was little and my family has always made fun of me for it!
2. I have to have a clean house ALWAYS! I get very grumpy if my house is a mess. Yes, I have OCD and I am proud!
3. Whenever I am eating M&M's, Skittles, or any other type of colored candy I have to eat them in a certain order. It starts out with my least favorite color (usually yellow or orange) and continues until I eat my very favorite at the end (usually red).
4. Rich and I have a tradition that started about 3 years ago. Starting the day after Thanksgiving we listen to Christmas music through Christmas Day and try to guess who sings it. Then we hit the button on our XM and whoever is right gets a point. It's really fun and I look forward to it every year.
5. When I was little I always thought it would be cool to have a broken arm. I tried and tried to land wrong on our trampoline but it never worked...I was a dork!
6. I had hernia surgery in 2002 and I have another HUGE hernia on my stomach but I am trying to go as long as I can before I get it fixed. It was the worst surgery I have ever had and I am not looking forward to it. Hopefully, my plan doesn't backfire!!
7. I am obsessed with the Twilight series. I have read all the books 3 times, except "Breaking Dawn" which I have only read once, because that one was a little too weird for me.
8. I refuse to eat any meat off a bone. I used to always make my mom cut my meat off the bone first before I would eat it or it would gross me out. If I actually do eat it, it's a rare occasion.
9. I can't stand ANY animals. Yes, that means ALL fish, birds, cats, dogs, ect...YUCK!
10. I always wanted to be a teacher or an interior decorator when I was little.
11. I have to make my bed every day. My Grandma was huge about that and I am sure she checks on all of her grand-daughters every morning to make sure we all do it!
12. As I get into bed each night I have to roll the top of the sheet and comforter down about 6 inches so that it is just under my armpits.
13. I have a huge addiction to scrapbooking. I only wish I had more time to do it!
14. I LOVE vanilla diet coke from Sonic.
15. Rich says I don't put caps back onto things correctly, like the toothpaste. I put it on but I don't tighten it.
16. And for the last one...I hate movies with talking animals. It drives me crazy.

I now tag Becky C., Amy, Heidi, Jill, Jenn, Keli, Kristi, Nicole J., Taryn, Ruth, and anyone else that wants to do it!

St George

**I have been waiting to post these until I could figure out how to make some of the small pictures normal size but...I'm not getting it!! So I will post these and hopefully figure it out soon. If anyone knows how please help a girl out! :)

We met our friends, The Fechser's, in Saint George this weekend. Ruth and I really wanted to see Twilight together so we planned a whole trip around it! Rich and I were able to go a day earlier to hang out with our friends Ryan and Jenn.The first night we met them at The Pizza Factory. They had the BEST bread sticks we have EVER had! They were to die for!! Friday Rich and I did some shopping and then we met Ryan and Jenn at Cafe Rio for lunch. It was WAY too crowded so we got our food to go and went back to their house and ate. We played Wii and just hung out. It was so much fun spending time with them and their cute family. They have a 7 year old daughter and twin 4 1/2 year olds. They can relate to us pretty well!! :) It was just like when we used to all hang out 7 years ago, only 6 kids yelling in the background now! Thanks for spending time with us this weekend! (I feel bad, I'm a loser and didn't take ANY pictures!!)

Friday night Ed and Ruth came into town and we stayed at a nice condo with them. Saturday Ruth and I did LOTS of shopping, and our hubbys even watched all the kids so we could go to Twilight. (Thanks guys, we really appreciated it!)I'm not completely sold on the movie. The only reason I liked it at all was because I am obsessed with the books, otherwise I don't think I would have liked it. Saturday night we went to the Family Fun Center for go-carts and video games. Caiden and Faith couldn't stop hugging and kissing each other the whole weekend. It went by way too fast and we had a blast. Thanks for such a fun time! We miss you guys already!!

Basketball Party

The end of Caiden's basketball season is over so tonight they had a party at one of the school's. They handed out medals and the team pictures to all the kids. Caiden has really enjoyed playing and is begging to play again in January.

Caiden and Garrett - They were the two shortest on the team which is why I think they became friends from the start.

Friends

Tonight I met up with some old friends Nicole and Melissa. We all met at work and became instant friends. I have known Nicole for about ten years, and Melissa about five. Nicole and I live in the same town but with busy schedules we don't get to hang out enough! Melissa moved to D.C. and was here vising for a few days.

We went to Starbucks, had drinks and shared stories from "The good 'ol days". It was fun seeing both of you!! (And Jason, Mel's husband!)

A Shout Out

My brother was just offered his dream job of a full-time firefighter with the Pinewood Fire Department. He is so excited and has worked really hard for this. Before he left on his mission he didn't tell anyone but had a feeling he needed to pursue a job in this area. As his mission president was interviewing him to go home he told Derek he felt inspired to tell him he needed to be a fireman. He has been taking classes and working on it ever since.

Tonight we went to Outback to celebrate. Congratulations Derek! We are so proud of you!!
