Good times here!

Carly is a girl, through and through. She loves to play with dolls, loves to wear hats, and she HAS to wear shoes- all the time. Her feet have been starting to stink because of this obsessive trait, so we got her some slippers to wear at home to help combat the stinky feet syndrome. So, now she wears these slippers when she's getting ready for bed instead of her other shoes. She loves them, despite the look on her face making it seem otherwise.


Spencer and Kyle at the Horse races.


We thought the horse races were SO fun! I wasn't that enthralled by horse racing before, but then we saw them in person; it is a really cool thing to see in real life. You might just find me at the horse races, in my spare time, betting on the number 4 horse... :)


Carly and Spencer at the New Mexico State Fair. They loved seeing all of the animals and other fun things there!

And of course we had to get some fair food. We were devastated that we couldn't find the fried twinkies, but settled for some yummy ice cream cones instead.

Pigtails and soccer goals...

This is our first attempt at Pigtails. Not easy. She only left them in for about 2 minutes. Her hair is finally starting to grow. Horray.

Spencer has started playing soccer. He was drafted by the Green Transformers. His weekly salary includes: orange slices at half-time, and drinks/snacks after the game. To him that's better than any paycheck.
They are still learning. This is a pic of their goal and 3 of his teammates. No goalie to block their goal and they started kicking the ball the opposite way. Go Transformers.
Spencer in the middle of the pack.
He told us after that he had a good time and that he wants to play next week. We will continue to cheer him on to glory even though they can't remember which goal is their goal. Oh well.

Michelle's 10 Random Things

So, I've been tagged by Dawn, (yeah, thanks) and I give into pressure easily; so here are 10 random things about me.

1. My favorite sound in the world is when my kids make each other laugh. It's even better than when I make them laugh!

2. I love to read, but don't make time for it. I joined a book club just so I'd have a reason to read at least one book a month.

3. I love to read magazines. Give me Family Fun or Simple or even Sports Illustrated. If I could afford it, I'd get more to read...

4. I hate working outside of the home. When I did work, I cried almost every time I was in my car driving to work (Not because I hate work, I just hated leaving my family. I know, I'm a baby). But if I did need to go back to work, I'd work in O.B. (speaking of babies) which, when I was in school, is something I told myself I'd never do!

5. If I could live anywhere, I'd live in Richfield (where I grew up). This is also something I told myself I'd never do. Things change!

6. I hate graffiti! I know, I know, doesn't everybody who is normal? But I am always on the lookout and I will report it to the city to get it cleaned up! They probably know me by name...

7. I'm more of a one-on-one person than a one-on-many person. Even if I know everyone in the group, I just can't think of anything to say!

8. I am totally low maintenance, but have aspirations of becoming a little more high maintenance. It's just not in my blood though.

9. I regret getting my second piercing in my ear. Of course when I did get it, President Hinckley came out like a month later and said one hole in the ear. So now, I will forever have two holes in my ear! Yuck. (I know, I should have listened to my dad)

10. I hate answering the phone!

Okay, now I tag Jodie and Katie... let's hear your ten random things!
