Memory Tag

1) Add a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2) Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Just for FUN!

Most of my favorites memories from Kansas involve you. Picking one is really tough. I think that jumping on the trampoline that 4th of July is one of my favorite. I also loved the 2 times I stayed the night at your house and we scrapbooked until the early morning and our vision was blurry. I think we talked & laughed more than we got anything done! Fun times, fun times...

Okay, one more...I have the fondest memory of you making me peach cobbler for my birthday. It was your last can of "bottled" peaches and I don't think anything ever tasted so good. I know that you are a GREAT cook but I think it was more about how special and loved I felt than the taste of the food. You're amazing!; November 25, 2008 at 2:27 PM
shellie said...: I am remembering the day we went to St. George together with our two babies. On the way home somebody was speeding and got pulled over. You were so skilled at getting out of that ticket I was in awe. It was also funny that Gary called right at that moment. I awnsered and said that you were talking with an officer. He was not very happy.
I also remember, the day you back your van out of the garage but forgot to open the garage door first, hee hee those are things that are not funny at the time but hilairious years later.

The Bonham Family said...: I have lots of memories like how you let us stay at your house at a drop of a hat and made us a huge breakfast in the morning, but the one memory of you that really stands out was when I went to your Belly Dancing Program at the Cresent Moon and watched you dance for the first time...I was amazed. You had such confidence. I was so impressed with you dancing abilities.
Oh, one more. I will never forget your golden mushroom dutch oven dinner. It was to die for.; November 26, 2008 at 1:21 PM

Benjamin

Our 7 year old comedian always keeps us laughing. Benjamin is such a nut with his goofy dances and crazy faces. He always has a wierd sound or silly comment to make. Benjamin is so creative and artistic. He loves all things crafty. Just give him some paper, scissors, glue and maybe some paint and he surprises me with something amazing everytime. Benji plays so well with his brothers and sister. He is so tender with the younger ones but he can really keep up with Spencer too. We love him and his happy, happy personality.

Andrew

Our 5 year old curiosity keeps us busy. Andrew is very curious and inquizative. He is always investigating how things work and what makes them do what they do. He likes to take things apart whether with his hands or using an implement of some sort. Andrew is the most loving, sweet and huggable boy ever. He says "I love you Mommy." at least 100 times a day. Usually in conjunction with a big hug. Maybe it's just a ploy so I won't get too mad when he is mischevious. Either way, it works. We love his intense eyebrows and very animated gestures.

Desirae Jeanette

Our 3 year old split personality is a terror if she is tired or hungry. (kind of like her mom) Desirae can be an emotional wreck if something sets her off. At times she will start crying for whatever reason and won't be able to stop. Mom can usually get her settled down with a rocking chair and some snuggles and songs. My only worry is that if she is at this point now, what will she be like in 10 years??? No matter the outcome, we are so lucky and blessed to have such a sweet, beautiful little lady in our family. Her brothers all adore her and really watch out for her. We love her and her emotional episodes.

Great Dad

Our Super-Fun Daddy loves playing with his kids. Gary is the best Daddy and husband. His greatest desire is that we are all happy. He spends all of his time and energy doing whatever it takes to give his family all they need. Gary really enjoys his job as the Postmaster so his time at work is not too bad. Gary is so fun. All the kids get so excited when Daddy comes home. They all run and scream to the door as he comes in. He is an amazing man. We love his humor and how hard he works for us.

Lucky Mom

Our Nutty Mom is a bit wierd. All I have to say about my life is that I am THE luckiest lady ever. I spend my days at home with my "perfect" children. While they play quietly together, with never a squabble or dispute, I get to take uninterupted time to develop my personal interests. I exercise 1 hour every morning then shower, do my hair and make-up and get dressed in well tailored clothes. I then prepare a perfectly balanced breakfast of homemade waffles, freshly sliced fruit, wholesome milk and all before anyone else gets out of bed...Then the baby starts screaming from her crib down the hall and I have to lug my tired butt out of bed and get my real day started. Seriously, I wouldn't trade it for the world. What other job would allow me to spend an entire day in front of the computer setting up a blog all about my fantastic life???
