If I'm ever in a "jam" with my spouse, what tactic would I use?
I don't quite understand this one.
Do you mean, if I ever get in a fight? I don't have a tactic. I guess I might get upset, I clean, I sort of quiet up, and I sometimes cry. Then after a while, I'm ready to talk about it.
This isn't too often though. It just depends on the issue I guess, and how upset we might get at each other. Either way, we end up talking about it and apologizing.

Websites I visit daily:
Email (yahoo and gmail)
Arbonne.com
utahrealestate.com (almost daily)
Blogs

Location of 1st Kiss with Jake:
My bedroom at 3am. We had hung out until super late all of the time because we were talking and laughing and then I finally kissed him out of nowhere.

Movies I can watch over and over:
Pride & Prejudice (the newest one)
The Black Stallion
North Shore
The Bourne Identity, and Supremacy, and soon Ultimatum

These are a few of my favorite things..............

My little Boo.

She got the nickname Breck-A-Boo and somehow we have shortened it to just Boo. At least Jake and I call her that. She turned 1 on June 27th. We went and got her picture taken. (see left) She is so sweet! She is finally starting to crawl on her knees, just barely, she loves to army crawl. She is also pulling up to a stand. Wow! We were wondering if this would ever happen.
She is a very happy girl and laughs at her brothers a lot. She waves to strangers at the store and her feet and hands are always wiggling. She is a good eater too.
We just love Boo.


Do you remember being this flexible?

Gavin is the big 5.

I'm writing this in green in honor of Gavin. It's his favorite color.
Gavin is 5 now! He is so excited to tell people it too. He had cake and went to Boondocks to goof off and play arcade games and said it was the funnest day ever. (I wish I was so easily entertained at age 32)
He is starting Kindergarten at the end of August, then baptism, then mission, then marriage........aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Where does the time go? I swear he was born just a few days ago!?
Anyway, he is my wild imagination boy and we love him!
Happy Birthday Sonic, oh, I mean Gavin!


(Don't ask. If you know him, it all makes sense.)

The 4th

I always enjoy the 4th of July. I love that its hot. I love that Jake has the day off. I love the colors red, white and blue. I am lucky to live in the USA.
I like our flag the best!

Some past memories of the 4th include: Fireworks in front of our house( a long time ago when it was legal), going early and hanging out all day at T-Street and watching fireworks when it is dark, going to the Barth's house to swim and BBQ all day(we did this many years in a row), then Utah memories include watching the BYU stadium fireworks at Rock Canyon Park with Jake when we were dating, and now this year we are going to my brother-in-laws to BBQ and do fireworks. I'm excited to take photos with my new digital camera. As soon as I get the software installed I will post some pics.
Happy 4th of July everyone!
