Tagged!

Here’s the rules:
A. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.
B. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog, for these rules.


My friend Colleen tagged me quite a while back and YES, I am just getting around to doing it, pathetic how slow I am. Since this is a family blog I'm going to post 6 facts/habits about each of us (Jackson, Abygail and myself - I'll make Jason do his later this afternoon - you got that sweetie, you are going to have to author something on here!).

AMBER
1) I am scared of the Ocean. When I was 12 I went with my friend Heather Borton (some of you might know her) and her family to Galveston. While there we swam in the Gulf of Mexico and I was stung by a jelly fish. To this day I am still scared of swimming in the ocean. I won't go out more than to my waist and only if I can see, no seaweed please! Also I don't want to fly over the ocean or cruise in it. If you survive a plane crash over the ocean then you will drown, if you don't drown than you will be eaten by sharks, if you are not eaten by sharks you will die of dehydration. If you are on a boat (Titanic) and it sinks than you will die too for all of the aforementioned reasons. I will some day have to confront my fear because I want to go to Hawaii...some day.

2) Although I am not an Environmentalist (except in my dreams) I use cloth di
apers on both my kids.

3) I went bungie jumping on a lunch break once and it was a religious experience for me. I was pretty scared to jump and then I thought 'it's just a leap of faith'. I have always remembered what it felt like to in a very real sense take a 'leap of faith'. (speaking of 'Leap of Faith' did anyone ever see that movie with Steve Martin? i actually knew someone that was in that movie!)

4) Currently, I am in LOVE with chocolate soy milk. Every time I go grocery shopping I splurge and buy a quart of it and drink it on the way home. OOO, another current thing, I am STILL working on a winter themed cross stitch that I started 2 years ago...but I'm so close to finishing it I can almost taste it.

5) When I read a book and really like it I can't put it down. For example, this week I read 3 books by Thursday morning. I stay up super late, read through the kids naps and even ignored all my chores - I was a BAD mommy and wife. [But I made up for it yesterday by doing almost all the chores, making a chore chart to help myself by giving me endorphines(sp?) after checking things off the list and played tons with the kids]

6) I played tennis in highschool, I was even on the Varsity team! (that sounds really cool but, we had a VERY SMALL team).

ABYGAIL
1) She still does not sleep through the night. Her molars are coming in and she woke up twice last night.

2) She fell off the bed when she was 5 months old because her mommy went to go answer the door and was a dummy and left her on the bed all by herself. She still hits her head on accident all the time now, like almost everyday!

3) She
LOVES the cartoon 'Super Why' on PBS.

4) She likes it when we sing her to sleep. She has always been very sensitive to music, it seems to calm her. When she was 4 months old she went to Yellowstone Park with her Grandma, Grandpa, mommy and daddy, while there she got pretty fussy towards the end. The only thing that would calm her down was her mommy singing the ABC's to her! She starting dancing just as soon as she could stand up and loves dancing still.

5) She got her first tooth at 9 months.

6) She hated wearing hats until she was 18 months old and now she will ask to wear them. She doesn't keep them on for long, maybe 15 min max, but some is better than nothing when you live in Buffalo.

JACKSON
1) He is a very good sleeper and sleeps through the night. He started sleeping through the night at about 2 months and has just gotten better and better at it. (he does have his nights, don't get me wrong!) Last night he went to bed at 7:30 and woke up at 7:30 this morning.

2) He has always - AND WILL ALWAYS - slept in his own bed. At night he sleeps in the pack n play in the nursery because his crib is still in our room and mommy would prefer to not hear all his noises at night.

3) He is sooo handsome when he smiles. Mommy thinks he's going to be a heart breaker.

4) He refuses to take a pacifier or a bottle. He likes to chew/suck on his fingers and eats any kind of paper that might be on the floor so we have to be extra carefull.

5) He was born 1 hour and 5 mins after his mommy and daddy got to the hospital. It was a non medicated birth and his mommy was so excited to see him she couldn't stop crying and saying 'o baby!'

6) He is named after a character from Gilmore Girls!

JASON
1) He is a werewolf! His body temp. runs 10 degrees higher than any other persons and he runs on very little sleep.

2) He ONLY reads books that are non-fiction.

3) One of his life goals is to obtain his PhD. He's wanted to quit several times but I (his wife) refuse to let him. (I don't care if he never uses the degree, I just care that he reaches his goal - he can go back and teach 8th grade after this...I HONESTLY don't care about that part.)

I'll leave the rest up to him.


As for tags, I'll tag Kat, Laura & Alicia. I'd like to tag more family but that's everyone that has a blog. All you other family members - get off your duffs and get to bloggin'.
