SNOWMOBILING





The other day we took our kids snowmobiling. Asher LOVES snowmobiles, but as soon as he got on and Mark went too fast, he wanted to go home! It was kinda funny. Hallie loved it. I couldn't go fast enough for her. She's quite daring. Asher is daring on his four wheeler, which kinda scares me. This winter we had a huge snowpile in the middle of our cul-da-sac and Asher tried to climb it on his four wheeler!! It was very steep and Mark had to stop him before he got too far. I thought he'd like to go fast on Mark's sled, but he totally chickened out! It was fun anyway. Mark loves all the new snow in the mountains because he can go snowmobiling later in the year, but I wish it would melt! He's totally taking advantage of every Saturday because I told him he couldn't go every Saturday next year! I know, what a mean wife, right? Just Kidding! It would just be nice to have him home on a Sturday once in a while.

I'VE BEEN TAGGED....HERE WE GO!

My sisters have been giving me a hard time because I have not updated my blog. Goodness. Anyway, BOTH Robbie and Jennifer tagged me.
TEN YEARS AGO??? Honestly, my life was not that interesting 10 yrs ago. I had just turned 16 and began dating. That was the big milestone at the time. I was doing highschool things with highschool friends and although it was fun, I'm soooo glad that it is over!
5 THINGS ON MY TO TO LIST:
  1. Start spring cleaning! (My yard is STILL full of junk from the oldies who lived here before us!)
  2. Be more on top of things with Primary. After all, the Pres. has to be responsible, right?
  3. Just like Jennifer, CALL PEOPLE BACK! Ever since I have been Primary Pres, my phone rings off the hook! Now I let my answering machine answer because anyone important to me calls my cell.
  4. Grocery shopping...like always.
  5. Plan our fun summer activities!

WHAT WOULD I DO IF I WERE SUDDENLY MADE A MILLIONARE?

Once again, like my sister Jennifer, I would buy my grandparent's property in Bedford (AKA Zion...hee hee!). So many good memories there. I would also invest so I could have enough money to build my dream home and what ever else my heart desires!

4 BAD HABITS:

  1. Procrastination. I wait until I can wait no longer to get certain things done.
  2. I'm a night owl. Mark hates it.
  3. Playing too many computer games.
  4. Not telling Mark about events until last minute (Procrastination!).

5 JOBS I'VE HAD:

  1. Full time Mom (okay, not really a job, but I have to fill these numbers in!)
  2. Full time wife (once again, not a real job!)
  3. Gottschalks-that job sucked. But I learned more about shoes!
  4. Once Upon a Child - This is where I worked the majority of my working years.
  5. Believe it or not, I've only had 2 jobs my entire life!

PLACES I'VE LIVED:

Idaho Falls, ID

THINGS I LIKE TO DO:

Sadly, I have fallen into the MOM TRAP where the only thing I do is be a mom. After talking to my friend Shannon, we are both on the path to rediscovery! I'm glad I'm not the only one. Anyway, I still love snowboarding even though I haven't been for years. Spending time with family is fun. I love four wheeling & snowmobiling with our kids. This year I want to start hiking again. I love hiking. I like anything outdoors, such as camping, riding bikes, rollerblading, swimming, the list could go on. I also like going out on dates with Mark! That doesn't happen too often because we usually end up taking the kids. Anyway, I just enjoy having fun!

*AFRO BO*

Mark wanted to grow Bo an afro. Well, here it is (so far!). He looks completely ridiculous! I kinda feel bad for him because he knows he looks stupid. He came home from the groomers really mad. He kept rubbing his hair on the floor trying to get it off. It was so funny! His ears were matted pretty badly so we
had his ears shaved off which doesn't help the ridiculousness of it. Hallie calls him Bon Jovi and Asher calls him Afro. Everyone who sees him can't help but laugh! Quite funny.
At the groomers Mark got a lot of funny stares. There is also a picture of Meg at the bottom. She is such a cute dog. Everyone gawks at her but laughs at Bo... can't help it, really. Such a seventies look.
Now Bo begs for attention so he can feel better about himself! Owell.
