I've been tagged!

Nicole tagged me, and so being the obedient friend that I am, I'm going to try to tell you 7 interesting things about myself.

1: I cry way more than the average person. Not because I'm sad, but because when I get emotional, my eyes have a tendency to leak. So when our children were born, friends got married, or I suddenly realized how great something was, my eyes leaked. It can be embarrassing.

2: I didn't grow up in St. George, but it is now home. I want to move back and never leave. I've become addicted to the sun and the feeling that is there. One day I'm going to move back, build a house with a huge porch and enormous back yard, and have my Pinion Street family come and play!

3: I LOVE to be outside! I also love to read, so if I can read outside, it's like heaven to me. Especially if I can hear my kids laughing and playing outside too. It's not very pleasant outside here in TX very often, so I don't go out, and I think it's slowly making my go insane. One day you may see me do something drastic, like bleach my hair!

4: I love the idea of makeup and looking nice, but I never really actually do it (except sometimes on Sun.). Right now, my wardrobe basically consists of sweats, because I just don't care.

5: I have a secret. Only a select few people know this, so it's like baring my soul a little here, but I'm writing a novel. There, I've said it. So one day, when I'm brave enough, I just might send it to a publishing company.

6: I love to sing and dance and get crazy with my kids. It helps me to de-stress and makes me feel good. I just hope no one ever sees me through the window!

7: I dream big. Sometimes people may not think my dreams are realistic, but I figure that so long as I have a dream, I have a reason to keep going, to keep moving forward, so whether I reach my dream or not, I'm still better off.

Our trip to Utah in November

2008 is great!

We had a wonderful Christmas and kicked off the new year with good friends and good fun. We're looking forward to the new changes and great happenings in 2008. My motto: 2008 is great!

Amy's turning into quite the young lady and never ceases to amaze me with her resilience. Taylie is a sweetheart and wants to be a Princess when she grows up. Macey makes us laugh! Her nickname is "Monkey", and with good reason. She reminds us of Curious George, which is now one of the girls favorite movies. Jack is a handsome little man and I love having another guy in the house...I'm sure Mike likes it too! He just had his 2 month check-up and he weighs 14 lbs. 4 oz, and is 25 1/4 in. long. He's ALL boy! We are so very blessed to have such a wonderful family and our friends enrich our lives even more. So to all of you who mean so much to us, thank you for everything you are and all that you have added to our lives.
