6 things you may not know about me

I've been tagged. Thanks Danielle. I am tagging the rest of the people I spy on, so have fun.

1. When I eat Oreos out of the bag, I need to make sure that there is an even number of cookies in each row when I am done eating them. One row CAN NOT have more cookies in it. It throws off the universe for me.

2. I have a real hard time cooking any sort of food even if there is only one dish in the sink.

3. Every time I go to Disney Land, I must eat a turkey leg and then text my friend Bridgette to let her know I am eating one. Don't ask me how that got started, but it did.

4. I went sky diving twice and bungee jumping once. I would do them again in a heart beat.

5. If I wasn't Mormon and was skinny, I would love to be in a Cabaret show

6. I love Ethiopian food.

Bubbles...what fun

Isaac loves his baths, but he also really loves his bubble baths. What a special treat to examine the bubbles, watching toys "disappear" and making big splashes to see the water beneath. The best part is all the fun hair-dos he gets and Daddy making up the hair he doesn't have with the bubbles. The down side- bubbles in the mouth, YUCK!!! He does not like that. Nevertheless, bath time is always a fun time to play in the water either by himself or with Dad when Dad is in there with him and it is a great time for Mom to e-mail, clean the kitchen, have "alone" time (only when Dad is home) or just sit and watch Isaac have a great time.

family Photos

The anticipation of the family photo for the Christmas card has arrived. With Jim's busy schedule, it is very hard to find a time to take it. Well, yesterday we seized the opportunity. It seemed perfect because the sun was shining, snow was on the ground, I actually did my hair that day, then reality set in when I realized that we were about to take the picture outside with so many distractions and a tired one year old in our arms. The joy soon went to stress and stress soon went to "what can we do to make Isaac happy?" Well, I think we at least got one picture that is decent. There were many that were close, but didn't make the cut. It is pretty much hopeless to take a "formal" picture with a baby, but hey, at least I tried, right?

Snow

Yesterday, December 1st, was our first real snow fall. Isaac woke up and went to our glass back door, put his hands on it while standing on his tippy toes squealing ""EEEEE!!!!" "EEEEE!" He was SO excited! I put on his snow bibs, snow jacket, mittens and hat and took him outside. He was like a big marshmallow that could barely move. He had so much fun in the snow: playing, feeling it, listening to it compress underneath his feet. He didn't like it however, when he had to walk on the grass because it was too deep for him to pick up his feet which of course made him fall down in it. He got so mad!!! Of course, I had to do what any normal Mom would do when their kid falls down in the snow: I threw snow balls at him. =0) He didn't mind. After 2 hours, the trill wore off and nap time arose. It was so much fun watching him play and watching him trying to help me shovel the driveway.

Chili and Rice

Last night was a lazy night for dinner since we had chili and rice. I put this on Isaac's high chair and watched him eat and discover his food. Jim and I both sat back as we ate and watched Isaac squeeze it through his fingers and put it on his face and head. Needless to say, he made a mess.
It wasn't until I put him in a bubble bath and he looked at me, chili head and all, with a huge smile did I then realize how lucky I am to be able to enjoy the small things in life like chili and rice.
