I've Been Tagged!

This is the first time I have ever been tagged in a blog. My kids were actually napping when I discovered this, so I decided to do it!







#1 Self Portrait.

I could go on for hours about what is wrong with this picture. But, the kids could wake up at any time, so I will put vanity aside and move forward.







#2 What Are My Kids Doing?

Trent is at kindergarten. This is his first week at school and he has loved it!




As I mentioned before, Ryan and Keira are both napping, thus allowing me to post this. Yes, it is summer in Arizona, but Ryan wakes up every morning and insists on putting on his "Big Pants" and his long-sleeved shirt so he can "stay warm". (I think he gets cold in the air conditioning drafts inside.) But, you can see the poor baby Keira is sweating in her sleep.


















#3 My Fridge. It seems to be always half-empty, although I am always stocking it.












#4 Kitchen Sink. I usually try to keep this empty, but sometimes I have to decide what is more important. Today, I decided to look at the grocery ads while watching 'Alias' and then post this to my Blog. As long as it is empty before I go to bed...











#5 Favorite Shoes. My running shoes. I just bought these at the Adidas outlet on our way home from California. (We used to have one right next door to us in Draper, and I miss it!) These shoes are awesome! It is almost just like wearing a pair of socks. I just wish I got to use them more. Since I work from home in the mornings until 7 or 8, it is too hot to take the kids out after that. I am just waiting for the mornings to cool off and get my double jogging stroller fixed so I can take Ryan and Keira out running every day.











#6 Favorite Room. I guess it is the boys' room since it is the only one with decent furniture and half-way decent wall hangings.











#7 Dream vacation. I would love to go back to Portugal. I served in the north, Porto, so I want to go back there. But I would love to see the south, Lisbon, as well!









#8 Bathroom . This is the kids' bathroom. It is kind of fun with Turtle bath mats and mongrammed towels. I guess I should start thinking about getting Keira a towel as well...








#9 The room I spend the most time in. The office. As I mentioned before, I work from home from 3:15 - 7:15 am (It's not as bad as it sounds) and then I check my email in here periodically thoughout the day. However, Keira does not like it when i sit down in the office chair as she knows my attention is about to be diverted from her.










Now I am supposed to tag 4 people. Since most of my family was tagged with me, I will tag my sister-in-law, Aquamarine, Mikell, Stephanie and Laurie. Have fun girls (and I won't be mad if you don't do it).
