Amber tagged me and I am supposed to list 6 quirks that I have really only 6 this will be easy

1-I have to have the butter on my toast completely melted. This means I toast the bread, put butter on it, then pop it back in the toaster for a couple more seconds it is the only way to eat toast.

2-I have diagnosed myself with people claustrophobia, this is where you can't handle being surrounded by a crowd of people. Watching people rush the football field after a great game can get to me. How can they breath with all of those people around them?

3- I love to exercise, especially running. I have run nearly every day of my life since the 7th grade.

4-Chew with your mouth closed what more can I say.

5- I am very anti-coconut. At least I don't gag anymore if I accidentally take a bite of something that had hidden coconut in it.

6-I sleep with two pillows, one for my head and the other for my side. I started this when I was expecting Tanner and it has continued.

WE DON'T PLAY WITH OUR POOP!!!

Doesn't he look so nice, calm and sweet? Don't be fooled! Tanner has turned into a crazy man. Here is a list of some of his latest accomplishments.

1. colored on mutiple doors, walls, and furuniture

2. found some pens and decorate my couch with ink

3. got into my make-up... two full lipsticks and two eyeliners later you can imagine the mess

4. started drinking milk out of his sippy cup then spitting it out on a chair, (or his bed the second time) and then smearing it all over. He used about 2/3 of a sippy cup of milk before I caught him both times.

So all through this I have told myself he is just two and curious. I even considered myself lucky because he wasn't playing with his poo like some kids do.....So today he was in his room playing away nicely I heard toys out so I wasn't too worried. He played for about five minutes and I decided to check on him, by the smell in the room I knew something was up. As I started what I thought was a pretty typical bum change I noticed some markings on his leg. At this point Brian was called in for back up. Upon further investigation we found traces on his hands and in his carpet. Apparently poo is yucky. Should you still want to take a taste, just go ahead and wipe your hands off on the carpet. Once this is done be sure to continue to play with your toys like nothing has happened. The lesson he learned "we don't play with out poop". Also he now knows that poop actually does taste yucky.

Fun times. So after this I have two questions.

1. What should I expect next?

2. How long does this phase last?

Top Ten List for July

July really slipped away from me and I didn't get a chance to blog about some of the great things we did this month, so I decided to make a top 10 list. This list includes both the great and not so great things I remember about July.

1. Brian started working at his 0wn practice yipeee


2. We went camping with a couple siblings from my family and B's.


3. While we were trying to get to a great fishing hole (really I think Brian just wanted to test the jeep's 4 wheel drive abilities) Tyler got his parents Explorer high centered.


Good thing we had a tow cable with us in the jeep. I think the guys loved the adventure, some of the girls were a little concerned at the situation.


4. Probably my worst memory for July took place on the 4th. Our wonderful little town has a breakfast at 7:00 in the morning for everyone. Apparently in order to make sure everyone makes it, they start firing cannons and turing on sirens at 6:00 IN THE MORNING ON THE 4TH OF JULY OUR DAY OFF TO SLEEP IN. I am still really tempted to find out who is in charge of the ordeal and let them know that I have an alarm clock, and I will set it myself should I desire to eat their breakfast. (By the way Brian thought it was hilarious and just kept laughing at me about it all day)


5. I found two decent places to run, mild hills and no mean dogs.


6. We went to two rodeos, one was a home town not the greatest, the other was pretty great. Both rodeos have inspired Brian and Tanner to do a lot of bull riding.

7. Brian nearly killed us off. We went on a nice drive up to a new canyon near our home. Well it had just rained and was really muddy up near the top of the canyon our jeep fishtailed and came inches from going off the side of the road. I have never been so scared in my life. Brian was even a little worried so I knew we were in rough shape for awhile.


8. I got to visit with some Utah friends that I haven't seen in a couple of years. It was great to catch up with them.

9. I missed visiting with my Ohio friends.

10. I made it through the first trimester of my second pregnancy. I feel soooo much better now. We are expecting our new bundle at the end of January.

Well that is about it, hopefully I will be able to keep up better in August.
