In Celebration of Post #500

500 Random little facts about our family:

James loves cars, trains, airplanes, tractors, trucks, airplanes, and anything else that has moves mechanically.

James isn't that into animals. When we go on a walk, I can point out 50 horses, cows, deer, sheep, etc and he could care less. Point out an old beat up tractor and he salivates.

I don't really know what Daniel likes. He likes cars because that's what James likes and that's the only type of toys around. But, if we had animals, balls, dinosaurs, etc he'd maybe prefer those.

Daniel is definitely more opinionated and I'm sure that once he knows what he likes, he will make that very clear to all of us.

Daniel has a little temper-- now where did that come from?

Mike is the technological one--if it weren't for being married to him, I would still not own and iPod.

Mike and I have both been converted from PC to Apple since being married

We love to eat out at CPK, Mimi's, and Olive Garden

I love PF Chang's but Mike's not the biggest fan

I gave Ditty a bath today--she loved it

I gave all three boys haircuts tonight-- I even cut my hair-- and will hear about it when I go in to get it fixed

Mike's pooping right now

James made himself toot today

Blue Jays and robins ate all of our strawberries this year

Thanks to James, most of the couch pillows are currently on the floor

I vacuumed yesterday

I've tried couponing and pretty much can't stand it--it's a waste of my time, I buy things I otherwise wouldn't have bought, and it costs more money rather than saving.

I cannot stand MLMs. If you invite me to a "party" don't plan on me attending.

I sit on an exercise ball for my computer chair.

I'm a sucker for buying too many portraits when I have them taken at a studio.

I have $25 Gymbucks and am looking forward to using them in two weeks.

Tomorrow is the first of the month and I Finally get to go back to Costco (it's been three months now and I am missing it-- and I thought we could go without renewing our membership).

I never take my wedding ring off because my knuckles are so big.

I shaved the hair on my fingers today.

I've had laser hair removal and would love more of it.

Laser hair removal does not feel like a rubber-band flicking the skin, it feels more like a blowtorch scorching it.

Daniel loves to clap his hands.

I love Utah yard sales-- I have bought the majority of the boys' clothes from them.

I hate Wal-mart but I still shop there at least once a month. Their prices really are hard to beat.

Mike and I would love to live overseas for a few years.

Mike and I follow the philosophy of Merrilee Boyack when it comes to parenting...

Sometimes I can be overly ambitious... and I'm stopping here :)
