I got Tagged

I was recently tagged by my friend, Karen. After finding out that it meant to be "tagged", here are 6 Habits/Facts about me:


1. I LOVE cars! I am not into classic cars, or engines, just what the latest and greatest ones on the road are. When we lived in the Bay Area, I would so look forward to the Auto Show around Thanksgiving weekend that we attended every year we lived there. The LA one is okay, but I miss the Moscone Center!!

2. I am very organized! I believe that there should be a place for everything, and everything should be in its place! Desite having children, I have not been broken...yet. I kinda hope that I hang onto this habit though!

3. I cannot type.

4. I love yellow cake with cream cheese frosting! It is my ULTIMATE comfort food! It makes everything better!!

5. Even though I fought bitterly with my two brothers growing up, they truly have turned out to be two of my best friends in the world! I am trying to convince Nikki that she needs to be nicer to her brother, but I guess that it is still early days!

6. I used to be an avid ballroon dancer. I have medaled in Bronze, Silver and Gold Standard Ballroom, Latin and Social Dance and Bronze and Silver in Country Western dancing.

I now tag Nicole Guerra in Novato, and Mindy, my favorite sister-in-law :)

Sept 2007 - Washing the Car

It would not be the end of Summer without giving the car a last wash before it gets too cold to do it ourselves. Mike decided to wash the cars...with the kids helping, it took a LOT longer than it normally would have :) Afterwards Mike said that it was worth paying to take it to the local carwash :) Ha ha ha!!!

No visit with the family would be complete without a picture of the cousins. Here are Nikki, Tyler and Matty!

Aug 2007 - Sleeping Beauties

Our dear little Tyler is what you could call a "snuggle bug". He loves to cozy up next to a warm body, and take a nap. When Ryan and Wynne were visiting, they decided to take a nap on the couch. Tyler decided to join the party I guess, he hopped onto Ryan's lap, made himself comfy, and went to dreamland with them :)
