I'VE BEEN TAGGED....

Ok... so my good friend Laura Woods "tagged" me. I had to check hers out a couple of times before I could figure out what tagged meant. Apparently, it is where you post interesting things about yourself that others may not know about you. If there are not enough interesting things about myself, I will include others about our family... since this blog is all about the BRYCE 7! Here goes.....

1. I love art. I wish that I could paint or find some other medium to express myself in besides the occasional, or not so occasional :) colorful language. My mom is very artistic and some of my kids have inherited this gift.

2. I just discovered that I LOVE MANGOES! We just got back from Mexico and they sell mangoes on the beach with lime juice, salt and chili. HOT DOG they are good!! I could spend my whole allowance on mangoes.

3. I love to stay up late. I am a bit of an insomniac. It is not unusual for me to stay up till 1 or 2 in the morning and then be a total jerk the next day for lack of sleep. I am looking in to Tylenol PM for the sake of my family.

4. I cannot stand to be cold. I have always thought it a blessing that the wicked will burn in hell, because if the wicked were going to freeze to death, I might have to change some of my bad habits FAST! I love to look at the snow and occasionally get out and sled in it only to rush back in for a big fat hot cocoa.

5. I think farting is hilarious. I hope that my dad is not reading this. We used to get in so much trouble for it and I cannot stand it when my boys do it in front of other people or in the car. But the random tooter pooter when you werent expecting it from someone who wasn't expecting it either is freakin' funny.

6. I can make my tongue into a taco. Tyler can make his tongue fat then skinny, fat then skinny... it is the weirdest thing.

7. Nathan is great at sports... it doesn't matter what he plays he plays it well... tennis, basketball, football, golf, frisbee... he can do anything. Something that not alot of people know, (including Nathan according to him) is that he is highly competitive. He likes to win. Not so that he can rub it in, but just so he can act like he doesn't care and rub it in. Can you tell that I hate to lose and have no athletic ability?

8. Ethan loves to watch the cooking channel and could probably cook up a meal or a smoothie or some biscuits from Paula Deans show better than I could.

9. Garett is a collector. He has baseball cards, figurines, sports paraphanalia, stuffed animals... the list goes on. He is also quite a fanatic about keeping them organized. This makes me very happy.

10. All of my kids and my husband and I love to play games. UNO, Poker, Life, Clue, Sequence, all of them are family favorites. Most of the kids like to win too, but they don't all have their dad's class. They can't keep the "rub it in your face" to a quite smile and giggle.

11. I am a bit of a closet eater. I have the top drawer of my night stand stocked most of the time with anything that has dark chocolate in it, saltine crackers and a few little debbie snacks. Maybe I should lock it and figure out that it could be the reason for the inability to lose weight!

12. Savannah doesn't like cheese. I don't know where the devil she gets that from. I think that is a pretty darn interesting fact.

13. Ryan has pretty much grown up taking vacations in Mexico. Where most normal people cannot stand to be covered in sand, Ryan will just lay down in it and roll around until he is comfy and then takc a little nap in the sand. There are few things that make me smile more than to see him love the beach the way I do.


OK... there you have it. Those are the things that I could think of off the top of my head. Maybe not too interesting but oh well. I want to hear Aisilyn, Julia, Mona, Molli and Sunshine's. Consider yourself TAGGED!
