I've been.... DUH Duh duh.... Tagged!!

What is being tagged? I guess it is when you are put on the spot to do something for friends that will make them smile, while at the same time making yourself out to be a weirdo.... I'm game!!


Here are the tagging rules:

1. Post the rules on your blog
2. Write 6 random things about yourself
3. Tag 6 people at the end of your post
4. If you're tagged, DO IT and pass on the tag

1. If I am eating something yummy to my palate, I shake my buns in my seat. As a kid, I had the nickname "wiggle buns". It is a totally unconscious movement and if I could stop, I would.

2. As a kid, I faked an allergy to potpurri so my mom wouldn't keep it in the house. I would pretend my nose was plugged and make myself cry. Good little actress, I guess.

3. If I would have told the "me" of 10 years ago that I would be a stay at home mom and wife, I would have dropped over and fainted right there.

4. I am obsessed with kissing my kids, and squeezing their cheeks. Mainly the lower ones.

5. I love fashion, scarves, and making women feel beautiful.

There is a little about me! And, oh, I have to break the third rule because I haven't read anyone else's blog but Rachel's and Jeannie's, and they both tagged me;) I just have to make more blogger friends I guess!

A vacation, a wedding, and an ultrasound.

I haven't had the chance to write in a month! Yikes! Chasing kids, cooking, cleaning, laundry, trying to make time for my hubby and myself.... And to put a huge spin on it all, we had the opportunity to stay in a camper for two of those weeks. Two kids taking a nap in bunkbeds when they usually have the peace and quiet of their own rooms with fans on for dead noise was.... interesting. Stressful to be honest. We had to try and rig up a towel on the outside of the window but little Emri always found a way to peek her little face around it- cute, yep. Make mommy frustrated? yep. She loves her own bed at home so much that her first nap back in her crib was for FOUR hours! A little creature of habit.

So one of the Saturdays, we had a wedding to go to. And, shocker of all shocks (?) we had to hire a babysitter. For the first time!!! Both sets of grandparents and Uncle Aaron and Auntie Billie were busy!!! So was my dear friend Rachel, who has watched the kids before but is more of an Auntie than babysitter. So, yep, we had an expensive day. Gift card from Target, check. Managed to lock the keys in the van so we had to use $10 more in gas, check. Pay the babysitter $40, check. Back at home after one dance because Ethan cried into the phone so we picked him up a 'treat', check. Guess what the little guy wanted? A spin-toothbrush. Nice!

So all this was 'news' for our family, but the biggest news is that we found out we are having a....baby.... BOY! Yay!! Ethan proudly walked into Grandma Peaches' office and announced, "We are having a boy brother." Classic.

Here are a few pics from our vacation- we got the kiddos dressed up and attempted some cool photos. We got a few out of all the hard work;)
