Tag Responses :)

Okay, so I guess I got tagged by Sara to follow these directions! :) –

The rules:

Go to your picture files.

Pick the 4th file, and the 4th picture in it.

Tell a little about the picture.

Well, my fourth file happened to be the file I keep all my computer screensaver pictures in – which are all randomly dispersed pictures dating back from before we were married – so it was kind of fun to get one out of there! Turned out to be a pretty cute one too! :) Problem is, there really is no story behind it besides the ever-faithful me thinking my kids are too cute not to take a picture! :) I believe this was October 2006 – so pretty much exactly two years ago – which is kind of neat. Brielle is 2 ½ and Samuel would have been 8 months old, if I’m thinking correctly… (Right before I got pregnant with Colette – so she’s almost on the way!) :) And this was in our house in Las Vegas on Nellis AFB. Always that time of year when I start putting the kids in their warmer pajamas, and I’m pretty sure without fail every year, I just think they are too adorable the first time I see them in their sleepers, and always end up taking a picture… :)


Okay, so now here’s the rest of the tag:

4 – 4 – 4 – 4

4 things I like about my husband:
His smile
How much the kids laugh when he plays with them
How concerned he always is about making sure I’m happy
EVERYTHING! :)

4 movies I can watch more than once:
Pride & Prejudice
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Home Videos (if that counts…)
Shirley Temple Movies (of course!)

4 TV Shows I watch:
PBS shows (Sesame Street, etc…) – which are pretty much the only things on if and when the T.V. is ever on… :)
Otherwise the only other thing I can think of that I might watch on T.V. would be the random lucky event that I might catch a game show on – Price is Right (which is not my favorite anymore without Bob Barker!), Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune… (We don’t have much of a selection – if we ever got cable, I think I would LOVE the game show channel, though!) :)

4 places I’ve been today:
Church
Choir practice
And of course here at home – always fun on a Sunday, spending time with Jared & the kids…
(Sorry, there are rarely days that I ever go 4 places or more)…

4 Favorite Foods:
Enchiladas
Pizza
Roast & Potatoes
Oranges & Grapefruits (which are coming into season soon – yea!)

4 places I would like to visit:
Arizona (as always – any chance to visit family!)
San Diego & Salt Lake Temples (any temple, for that matter – I would love to get to see all of them someday)…
England/Canada (two places I’ve always wanted to see)
Portugal & pretty much all of Europe (for Jared’s sake!) :)

4 things I’m looking forward to this coming year:
Trips to visit family
Christmas (always!)
Possible vacation planned for just Jared & I maybe within this next year sometime…?? (Maybe I’m just excited at the possibility – it would be our first!) :)
Getting to watch my cute munchkins change and grow every day – my favorite thing in the world… :)

Okay, well hopefully I did all that right, Sara! :) Thanks for the tag, it was kind of fun… (By the way, the family pictures I am posting next have been in the works for awhile, and I had been planning on posting them all just like you just happened to do – so sorry if it seems like I’m copying you here on this next post! We just happen to think alike, I guess)… :)

Videos of the Kids

Little videos of each of the kids just for fun... :)

Silly Colette

Brielle Playing Piano


Talking to Samuel

Typical Day in the Life of Colette





Oh joy, the climbing stage! :) So I decided to just keep the camera handy throughout the day yesterday and take a picture whenever Colette was on top of or inside of something just to show how constantly that is where she is and what she's doing whenever I turn around... I gave up by about midday -- realizing I would be doing it all day otherwise! :)

The Things Brielle Says...

I love it when it's Brielle's turn to say the prayer these days because we never know what she's going to say... The other night she asked Heavenly Father to please bless us not to get cavities and to please bless the bugs not to bite us! (We had found both a black widow and a centipede in the house that day, killed both of course (& by the way, does anyone know if a centipede is poisonous??), but anyway, I was explaining to the kids afterwards about not touching spiders and things like that, and I'm assuming that's where the part about please not letting the bugs bite us came from in her prayer)! But I just love to hear what that mind is just constantly thinking about when it comes time for her to say prayers... :)
