Date Night!

Last night we had a night out with Ricki and Tony. We went to dinner and then went bowling. Several years ago, Cam found a bowling ball, shoes, bag, towel- the whole set up - at the DI. It used to belong to Jeni Gertsen or something and he really looks like a professional. We used to go in college a lot and we always had so much fun. We have been a couple times in the last year. The bowling alley always brings out such an interesting crowd, doesn't it? I was just happy to have a night of relaxing without my kids. So last night we brought our huge Iceberg milkshakes with us and had a ball! Here are a few pics. Thanks to the Chambers for a fun night. Cam won of course, but I came in third place. We are all getting better! Maybe we'll start a league... just kidding!

Tagged.. AGAIN!

Ok, Summer and Robin both tagged me. I have been tagged before, but this is a different one. So.. here are 7 random things about me.

1. I hate driving. Cam almost always drives and this doesn't really bother him because he would rather drive. I always said if I could have a chauffeur that would drive me everywhere I needed to go, I would.
2. I love store-bought cakes with that thick, white, sugary frosting. People think I am crazy, but when I was growing up my mom always made me a home-made cake. Since I never really got store-bought cakes, now I love them. I love frosting... mmmmm .. the big roses..mmm. I know, so tacky!
3. People sometimes say I have nice teeth, but actually they are horrible. They are straight since I endured braces, but in the last 7 months I have had 2 root canals and 2 crowns and a few fillings, etc. I could have a very nice, new wardrobe, but instead I fixed my dumb teeth!
4. I remember faces very well. Usually I remember people I have only seen once. I also remember very random things about them and where I saw them. Once I heard a guy bear his testimony in my in-law's ward in Farmington. I saw him a week later at a restaraunt in St. George and stupidly said "ooh, you spoke in church last week!" He looked at me like I was crazy and everybody else thought I was too! Sometimes this does come in handy though.
5. I love to look at the advertisements in the newspaper. As a kid we would always look through the ads each week. I especially looked forward to the Thanksgiving and Christmas ads. I don't get the paper now, but everytime I go to my parent's house, I always look through their newspaper ads (like Target, Walmart, etc. the colored ones). Even if I don't really plan to buy anything, which I often don't, I just like to browse through them. I know this is really weird, but you asked for it.
6. I don't like to go to bed late. If I do, then I just sit and worry about the lack of sleep I am going to get (or not get.) I really like to be in bed by 10 or 10:30 and read for a little bit and completely sacked out no later than 11:00. I wouldn't really say I am a morning person, but more than a night person. If it is really late (like 12,1 o clock) I even start to get a stomach ache and sick. I just like my sleep and since my kids wake up pretty early, I have to get to bed early or I don't get my sleep.
7. I am obsessed with making my bed. I feel like my life is in shambles until I get my bed made. It is usually made no later than 8:30, 9:00 am. The only time I am not psycho about this is during the first trimester of pregnancy when I am so sick and tired that I literally don't make my bed at all. I figure that I just crawl into it whatever chance I get, so why try? You can always tell when I am pregnant.. my bed isn't made. Cam thinks Sunday is a no bed making day, sometimes I let him get away with this, but usually I break down. I just feel out of control without it made. I know I am crazy!

People I am tagging: Allison, Jacque, Ricki, Dion, Kim, Claudia, Teresa. Thanks guys! I can't wait to hear 7 things about you all!

A 'Sweet' Halloween!

The three of us at the Trunk or Treat. Tag is already eating candy!
Taggart digging for more candy!
Taggart thinks he is so strong when he lifts the pumpkins!
Maddie loved playing with this pumpkin!
All the candy that is now locked in our pantry away from Taggart... and me!
Last night we had so much fun! We went over to the Todd's house for chili and cornbread before going to the Trunk or Treat at the church. Dinner was awesome (thanks Brooke!) and I am still thinking about Elena's homemade cornbread. To heck with the Halloween candy, I just wanted more cornbread! The kids looked so cute- Tag as a lion and Maddie as a ladybug. I even put on (I mean, squeezed into) my sister's old cheerleader uniform, since I can't seem to find mine. Go Bears! I don't know how we used to wear those uniforms.. they are sooo itchy and that's not to say much about my hesser in those sweater pants! Yes, it was the perfect temp. here, around 75 degrees, but we were all decked for the traditional Halloween weather. At first Tag thought that he needed to consume every piece of candy he received at that exact moment. He finally got into the swing of things and went from car to car saying "treat?" and putting it into his bag. By bedtime he was clearly on a major sugar high. Let's just say all day long we have had a constant battle with him wanting more treats! What a fun holiday. I hope you all had a Happy Halloween!
