You've Had a Birthday, Shout Hooray!

Happy Birthday Mom Walker!!! We love you!!! I obviously made this cake for your birthday and then Robbie ate it all before I had a chance to give it to you. :) (We all know I can't do that...) But Happy Birthday anyway!! You know what they say...

"Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest." - Larry Lorenzoni -

Just For Fun! :)

Star in Your Own JibJab! It's Free!I was putting off cleaning the house. I am ashamed...

"Everything Chirstmas"

So, it was Robbie's turn to plan our date this week - and he took me on the sweetest date! He knew how excitd I was about Chirstmas (because I started playing Christmas music Nov 1st) so he titled our date "Everything Christmas". First, we went to dinner and made our Christmas lists. Then he took me to Target where we bought a Christmas decoration. (my choice) Next, we went and looked at Christmas lights - which consisted of a strand of lights on a random tree by a random gas station. Then, we listened to Chirstmas music in the car while we drank some yummy hot cocoa and finished it off with snuggling and watching a Christmas movie. How cute is that?!?!?!?! Just wanted to share my cute husband with you for a second. :)

TAG! I'm it...everybody run!!!!!

So, apparently, if someone tags you, it doesn't work to just ignore it and not do it. :) Now although I would argue that this will be a quick and uninteresting read, inquiring minds want to know. So here it goes. (This is really hard...) 1. Any time someone starts singing a song out loud, I have to jump in and finish the song with them or without them. Although most of the time it's without them because they think I'm stealing their thunder - but I'm totally NOT! There's just something in my brain when I hear a song that says, "sing, Sing, SING!" My best friend from High School would always yell, "my song!" when I started singing with her. (Mistie -you used to get mad at me for the same thing, remember?) I'm sorry world! I just can't help it!

2. I could possibly be one of the only LDS women who does not scrapbook in any way. All my pictures are sitting in boxes. I CAN scrapbook, I just don't. Because I absolutely do not like doing it. It can become a super expensive hobby, you always feel like your pages aren't cute enough, and you always feel like you're behind because it takes so much time! What's fun about that? I've never had any interest in it at all. And although this doesn't break my heart now - I'm sure it will break my heart later down the road when I have kids.

3. So, I don't really like surprises. And this frustrates my husband very much because the "kind" of surprises I don't like are very specific. For example: If Robbie is taking me on a date and he doesn't tell me what we are doing on the date as a surprise - that's okay. As long as he tells me what I need to wear, like a heavy coat, or boots, or a dress. But, if he tells me we are going to a movie and he throws me a surprise party instead or something...NOT okay. On my sixteenth birthday, I was supposed to go hang out with my best friend Lauryl, but instead, Clint Jarvis showed up to take me on my first date. I cried and cried and didn't want to go. Mom finally convinced me to go - and I did have fun - but I was mad about it. See, I think it's all about preparing myself. I need to do better about being spontaneous. But if you were to tell me that tomorrow I need to be spontaneous, no problem. Because I knew a day in advance. :)

4. Every morning when I wake up, no matter what time it is, even if I'm just getting up to go to the bathroom, I have to look out the window. I peek through the blinds and note if it's sunny or windy or rainy, and how many clouds are in the sky. I have no idea what the motivation is behind this, it's just something that I HAVE to do. Robbie always asks, "Has the second coming come yet?" ***ha ha very funy***

5. I keep a "Happy list". This is a list of things that make me laugh or make me happy or are otherwise amusing. I keep it in a notebook, and not only does it make me happy to write in it, it makes me happy to go back through it and read what I've already written. Here is an excerpt..."secret doors and passageways, overstuffed sandwiches leaving it impossible for you to take a bite, foods that look juicy, an iron tortilla press, selling lemonade from a card table on the sidewalk, the impossible encounters that live in the imagination and somehow become a reality, holding candy up to the cinema screen in order to see it's color, conversations on paper, being the first person to look at pictures just developed, belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, an empty parking space right up front, paranormal phenomenon, new shoes, recipe card libraries, inside jokes..."

6. I am fascinated with all of the secrets in the world. Like ghosts, the Lochness Monster, Bigfoot, Area 51, the Abominable Snowman, Aliens, Dinosaurs, what causes Deja Vu! Why must there be so many mysteries! I could watch "World Mysteries" on the History Channel all day long. Man, do I have a lot of questions for Heavenly Father. (Maybe that's why I keep looking out the window. I'm thinking maybe TODAY a mystery will reveal itself to me.) :)

P.S. I tag Denise six times! Everyone else has been tagged...

Happy Turkey Day Everybody!

Pregnancy Update

So, there have been many who have asked for a pregnancy update...so I decided to deliver!! Things have been great! I love being pregnant. Besides the backaches and the heartburn and the nausea and the weight gain...it's great! :) I have been battling an ear infection for about 2 weeks now, which makes my back hurt because I con only sleep on on side. But that's my only ailment. We had a doctors appointment last week that went great. Our due date got moved up to May 8th - which makes me, in this picture, about 14 weeks. Our little one had the hiccups during the ultrasound which was probably the cutest thing I've ever seen. It looked like it was on a trampoline. I couldn't stop laughing, which kept messing up the picture. Anyway - it was fun. We find out if it's a boy or a girl on December 10th -- so we'll give another update then. :)
