So You Think You Can Dance

After dinner break dancing:

I can't believe I got this picture below. It was a split second pose while he was spinning (or trying to). Hysterical.

Just found this picture of Hunter on my camera. He must have taken it while we were cleaning up. Nice nostril bo-bo. Love his freckles.

My Unspectacular Quirks

1) I have a horrible habit of leaving my shoes all over the house.

2) I am OBSESSED with chocolate chip cookies and could eat them all day. My metabolism is starting not to appreciate it.

3) I love sleeping and try to take naps as much as I can (about 2 times a week when Pip takes hers). This doesn't sound like a bad thing really but I don't get as much done on those days. I then start feeling guilty that I slept but still look forward to my next nap, yahoo!

4) I have the world's WORST short-term memory. My family can tell me something and by the time I'm in the next room I don't remember what they told me or even that we had the conversation. Plus, I'm starting to ask the same questions over and over again just like my mom (sorry mom but it's true!)

5) Courtesy of Paul: I am obsessed with any new hobby I pick up. Over the years: yoga certification, invitation making, scrapbooking, knitting, web site building, blogging, swing dancing, salsa making, eating cupcakes at Retro Bakery. I research it, I do it, I live it, I am it much to the annoyance of my family. I still do them all though :-)

6) I am a germ-o-phobe. Nuf said.

Day at the Park

We took the dogs to the dog park yesterday. It was hysterical watching them run around with a bunch of other dogs.

We walked down to the kid's park after that.

Walking back to the truck. Pip thought Daddy could walk better with a dog bowl on his face.

(and yes that is Napoleon Dynamite on Paul's shirt - we love Napoleon!)

Dogs, Closet Ball..My Closet is a Mess!

I finally got a picture of the dogs together and actually looking at me (or somewhat). Pip helped a lot.

We have a family game called Closet Ball that we like to play. Last night we played a few rounds but as usual it turned to Piper wanting to bury her daddy in dirty clothes.

Covering Paul in clothes

Hunter in the hamper. Ick.

Seriously, look at my closet. Guess who gets to clean the mess up after.

After, the kids bug Paul while he's in the bathroom.

This is what I looked like as the night wound down (product of a pillow fight)

No Carly..Don't go! What's up America?

Please tell me that America got it wrong. Why was Carly voted off American Idol last night? She has an amazing voice with a great range. I don't get it. I am a Brooke White fan but seriously shouldn't she have gone instead? Not a Syesha fan but the girl can belt it out. Neither her or Carly should either have been in the bottom 2. Either Brooke or Jason should have gone...and yes, call me a goob but I do text my votes in after the show so don't tell me 'if I would have voted maybe she would have stayed."

To be honest, I think Brooke got the LDS vote and Syesha got the black vote (and I don't mean that at all in a racist way people!) so that left Carly out in the cold maybe? Guess that's logical but I'm still not happy with her gone. At least she handled it well. I think she was ok with it because she's still in the top 10 so she'll be going on tour. I bet she's sure that a record contract is somewhere in the near future as well.

Oh well, my overall fave though is still a tie between the Davids..

Side note - I seriously need a Chocolate Fountain from Retro right now. Bedtime instead.

Why I Love My Husband

1. His teeth glow in the dark (seriously).

2. He can do the best 80's dance I've ever seen.

3. He recreated our first date the night he proposed to me.

4. I've never met anyone so incredibly patient (especially with me).

5. He puts up with my ever increasing amounts of neurosis.

6. We've been to darkest place two parents could be and continue to survive it together.

7. He is a great impersonator. Ask him to do his Louis Armstrong, Kermit the Frog or Sean Connery.

8. This man can dance.

9. He tells me he loves me every day.

10. He dresses to the 'nines' and can decorate (he is SO going to kill me for that one).

11. When we got engaged, he told me I could quit work and stay home to raise the boys (his step-sons). Been home ever since.

12. He loves his step-sons as much as if they were his own.

13. He is an amazing daddy to Piper.
