Tag, I'm it!

I have been tagged by my best friend, Kara, to share 6 interesting things about myself. Hope I don't bore you!

1. I love to snowboard! The last couple winters have been rough for me since first I was pregnant and then last year it was hard to find a babysitter so I could go. I have high hopes for this season, though!

2. I love food! I eat pretty much all the time. And since I eat so much, I must work out everyday to try and balance it out. In fact, Nathan has forbade me from eating any candy this entire week (he dosn't think I can do it) and it's killing me!!!

3. I've done a triathlon. It was so fun, and I would like to do another, but it's been hard to train since we moved. I really need to do another before I get pregnant again, though.

4. I was bald until I was almost three years old. So, believe it or not, my daughter actually has more hair than I did at her age!

5. I have a tatoo. I forget most of the time that it's there. I'm running out of things to share about myself so I figure this would be new to some people.

6. I road bike. I really love it, and it's a great work out! I'm pretty much just like Lance Armstrong. haha not really, but pretty close ;)

NowI will tag Taya Jones, Kim Warner, Annie Miller, Melissa Larson, Alyssa Edwards and Heather Peck. Can't wait to read about you all!

Karsyn's Hair Cut

Today I cut about 3-4 inches off Karsyn's hair. I think it looks adorable! (Especially since I've never cut hair before!) I've been bugging my Mom for months to give her a style. (She still had that little girl hair do where it is just how it has grown in) Well, for those of you who don't know, I'm babysitting ALL of my brother's and sisters by myself while my Mom and Dad are gone for 10 days! And I figured that since I was doing that, I should be aloud to chop off Kari's hair! But just in case my Mom freaks, the story is: She got gum in her hair so I had to cut it ;)

Halloween!

It's Minnie Mouse!!!!

Julia really got the hang of this trick or treating thing and everyone loved her! She actually tried going into a few houses! What a silly girl.
What a long night.... Minnie needs to rest.
Julia really loved trick or treating this year. I was surprised at how well she did. I thought she would just want to sit and eat her candy as she got it, but she didn't. She would put it right in her purse and then put her purse right back on her shoulder. What a smart girl! It was a fun night for Julia and Mommy! The only thing that would have made it better would be if Daddy could have been with us.

Old pictures

I was looking through some of our old photos and I thought it would be fun to post them.

Yes, that is nathan. When we were on our honeymoon, he thought it would be funny to go fun on the beach in my running shorts. And with his long hair, he really looks like he's straight out of the 70's!

Another honeymoon pic. That's the face I fell in love with... (his, not mine)
Our Disneyland trip while we were dating. We look so young!
And last, but not least, my cheer days. I think this was after a pep assembly. I miss all my hair! I used to have sooo much!!!

Uncle Jon

Julia and I stopped by Kara and Jon's house today to say hi and Julia was so happy to see Jon. She went right up to him and gave him a hug and then layed on his shoulder for the longest time. It was so cute! I think she misses her daddy.

I would also like to thank Kara for washing my car. Apparently it was really dirty. Jon actually told me I needed to vacuum the inside. He was right, but in my defense, it was all Julia's mess (crackers, raisins, pretzels) So I vacuumed the inside and Kara helped me do over the outside. We're so lucky to have such good friends to take care of us while Nathan's gone! :)

Halloween Block Party

Yesterday we had our (well my parents') annual block party. It's a lot of fun. Every household has a station with a game where you win candy. We get to socialize with neighbors we don't see often, and all the kids get to dress up and win candy.

Here Julia is playing ring toss with the Viking. She was a little scared of him.

She was a lot better at this game. But I think she cheated. She was sopposed to throw them in.
At the end we ate dinner. Every one brought something to share. Julia was a mess. I hope I can get all those stains out of here costume before Halloween!

Pumpkin Carving

For Family night, Monday, we carved pumpkins. It was a lot of fun! Julia got a kick out of the whole thing. Also, after my dad cleaned them out, I roasted the seeds and we ate them. Yummy!
My brother, Dustin, carved this one. I guess it's supposed to be a cat, or a devil. I can't remember.

Julia didn't carve hers. We can't trust an 18 month old with a knife. Her, Karsyn and Parker got to color one. She loved it!
