Who I'm tagging:
-Sumar Peake
-Jennifer Stringham


Now Tera's:

7 interesting things about me:

1. I really like to give massages. I know that sounds weird--you would think I would make my husband really happy because I like to give massages. Well, wouldn't you know it--I've married the one man on this earth who doesn't like them. He genuinely does NOT like massages. He even got a gift certificate for a free massage and didn't want to use it, so he gave it to me.

2. I love fantasy football. It's so much fun! I've had fantasy teams now for 4 or 5 years now and I love it. I currently am in three different leagues. It's a blast and it makes watching football that much more fun (as if it needed help).

3. My husband and I were visiting Europe at the exact same time before we met (six months before we met)

4. I don't like to shop. I think it's boring. When I go to the mall for too long I start to yawn...a lot. If I need something, I like to get in and get out. Although--I just started having a new found appreciation for new clothes. I don't have many, but I've found myself liking to buy new clothes for myself. This is a change from even last year. We'll see, maybe when we can afford it, I'll become a shopaholic.
Just kidding.

5. I have a shotgun. My very own. I love it. It's really fun to shoot clay pigeons, and actually it's pretty fun to go pheasant hunting. Now, I would've thought before I went that it would make me feel bad shooting a pheasant. Nope. Felt just fine about it...all five of them.

6. I don't like long movies. I think I have adult ADD or something. I can sit through Lord of the Rings once, but I will start to figit and shift in my seat at about the middle (in a movie theatre--at home it doesn't even stand a chance). And don't ever ask me to do it again. Such torture. Anything over about 2 hours is too long.

7. I like to stay up late at night--I don't though, because I like more to go to bed when my husband does. And he's an "early to bed" kind of guy. This is good, because when he's gone for some training or something and I'm by myself, I don't get any sleep. I stay up late doing odds and ends, then the kids wake up so early...

Again, I tag:
Sumar Peake
Jennifer Stringham

I don't know too many people who have blogs, so...sorry Sumar and Jen. Have a good time!

They love to dance!

I was laughing so hard at their dancing, I had to grab the camera and film some of the fun!

Halloween Time!


The kids had such a good time going trick or treating around the neighborhood. Hailey was a little obsessed with the Grim Reaper lawn ornament across the street. (They also had one at the commisary that she always wanted to visit).
Tyler was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
Hailey was Snow White.
Ashley was a chicken.

Tyler broke his leg!


Tyler had his first broken bone--it happened September 30th, right after his first soccer game. He was jumping off the couch, showing me tricks. One time while jumping and spinning in the air, he landed wrong and we both heard it break. What an awful sound!
He was really brave though, cried only a little and then stopped before we even got to the car to go to the E.R.
They put him in a splint (bath picture above), then got a full leg cast a couple days later at the orthopedic surgeons. He was in a full leg cast for 6 weeks, and he just barely got a walking cast last week (that he WILL NOT walk on).

Skydiving


For our anniversary last year, I got Trevor a gift certificate to go skydiving. Of course, I got myself one too, so I could join in the fun.
We had a BLAST. I knew it would be fun, but I thought it would be something we would do to say we've done it--but it's addicting! We definitely want to go again soon.
We went for the first time on September 1, 2007.
