1. I hate anybody to do my laundry--anybody! I do it better than anyone, so I don't want anyone to touch it. :) I'm very particular. I get this from my mom, so she's the exception (she is the laundry queen after all).

2. I also really hate the toilet lid left up. I have this fear that things are going to fall into the toilet...ew gross. And I don't know what I'm willing to retrieve (depending on what can be flushed). In our last couple apartments the medicine cabinet was above the toilet making me panic whenever the toilet lid was up.

3. I love doing tedious things. I can do the same thing over & over all day long. And once I get going on something I hate to be interrupted.

4. I am almost always in my pajamas until the afternoon (although I'm trying to change that now--without much luck). I really prefer to run all errands in the evening & do my shopping at night (like 10 pm). So you can imagine how annoyed I am when I have to make it to the post office before 5 pm--or any other place for that matter.

5. I keep my phone on vibrate or silent almost all the time. I really hate to hear it ring. Not that I don't want to answer it, I just hate ringing phones.

6. I try to never let my knees show in public. I haven't owned shorts in a really long time because I don't like my knees--they're big & ugly. I'm so glad to have capris in the summer.

I can't tag just 6 people because I want to read about all of your little quirks, so if you're reading this...tag, you're it!

4th Picture Tag

Here's how the game works: post the 4th picture from the 4th folder in your pictures. Way easy. This was taken in Wyoming last summer. David & a couple other guys were supposed to be working. This is what they were doing instead. Hard at work, huh?

My Sweetie-Petie Pumpkin Pie

My Pumpkin (but he wasn't for sell). :) He's obsessed with Halloween displays.Another shopping trip--and the last one Lance will go on for a while. First he chose a cart (the one I chose was not the right one). Then we put our groceries in it. And finally Mama ended up pushing it around because the original little shopper threw a tantrum & left it unattended. I couldn't get him to push it again.His bed was in our room for a couple days while we had company. I was nursing Luke on my bed & watched as Lance tossed & turned & fussed (while asleep). Finally he just got out of bed & then laid on the floor to sleep. He's never done this before, but I thought it was too cute.

Dave Dirt

David would kill me if he knew I posted these pictures! He recently told me that I could no longer blog about him (I should try to not even mention him), & I could definitely not post pictures of him. I said, "whatever!" He's the entertainment on my blog. And anyway, I was definitely not passing up this opportunity to post these fabulous pictures. I told him he couldn't delete them because I wanted to show them to his grandma (and everyone else--he he). He said to tell her it was him getting extensions for Luke's blessing. We were laughing so hard while taking them. He saw the pictures & said he looked like Joe Dirt, but even without the extensions I've been calling him Hobo Dave. What a sexy man I'm married to. :)
Oh, baby! Woo Woo!

If you were wondering why he was even wearing these...He found a pile of hair in our apartment & was appalled. The pile turned out to be his sisters extensions. Just for fun she decided to put them in his hair, & I thought it was so sexy that I had to take some pictures. :) Okay, I couldn't stop laughing because he looked so ridiculous. And rest assured, he does not wear his hair like this--EVER. Good thing, too, because I'd hate for anything to distract from the scraggly facial hair. :) :)

Luke's Blessing Day

Our happy Luke was blessed today. It was such a special day, and we had such a great time with family. David's parents and sister came for the weekend. His grandma & one of his aunts also came, but left without me getting any pictures. Lance was in heaven with all the attention, & Luke was such a good baby since he was held the entire time. We enjoyed the wonderful company & were very sad to see everyone leave. As you can see, Luke was not very happy with the picture taking. :)

"Kckl, Kckl, Kckl"

This is Lance tickling Luke's toes--saying tickle, tickle (but it sounds like a mouth full of k's). He's so soft, his fingers almost don't touch Luke at all. Lance is constantly kissing, tickling, & patting Luke. My favorite is when he uses the back of his hand to gently rub Luke's cheek. It's just too cute, & it makes me so happy to see. We also have baby wrestling. This is where Daddy attacks Lance with Luke sending Lance into a giggling fit. He thinks it's hilarious (he also thinks it's funny when Luke burps). He's such a good big brother. I've never once had to worry that he's hurting the baby or being too rough. Luke is showered with kisses & loves by his big brother constantly. :)










Here's Luke doing what he does best--just sitting & smiling.

I Can Do It By Myself!

Just like pushing the grocery cart at the store, Lance needs to push baby Luke in the stroller--all by himself. (I get yelled at if I even try to help steer it.) I had Luke in the stroller in the kitchen one day while I was making dinner (I know weird, but it worked), & Lance took it & started pushing it. I thought maybe he was just going to push him around inside the house & thought it was so cute. But Lance was a man on a mission. He pushed it right up to the front door, & then tried to open the door. He was ready to take Luke for a walk. :) We had a bit of a fit when he realized he wasn't actually going to be able to take Luke outside. I took Luke back into the kitchen, & Lance once again pushed him to the front door. He was very persistent in trying to get the stroller out the door, but alas, the mean mother foiled his plan. :(

Lance pushing the stroller off the sidewalk & into the neighbor's truck (but he's doing it by himself!).
