6 Interesting Things About Myself. . .

I've been tagged by Melinda.

1. I am a native Texan. I was born in Dallas, Tx, and when I was about 6 months old my family moved to Blackfoot, ID. Now, when I see "Native Texan" signs I can say, "hey, I'm a native Texan", even though I have only lived in Texas a total of 4 years now.
2. My belly button is off center. I discovered this when I was in physical therapy school. During labs we would have to strip down to sports bra and shorts so we could get used to examining bodies and when we were doing a lab on landmarks one of my classmates noticed my bellybutton is an inch or two off to the right.
3. I can't stand it when people, (aka. Aaron) leave cabinets open. It doesn't happen as often as it use to, but I still find that I get a little irritated if a cabinet door is ajar and I have to go shut it.
4. My clothes in my closet are organized by color. Aaron teased me when I first did this, but now his closet is organized the same way.
5. I have been to 10 different countries and to almost every state in the US.
6. I love to backpack and hike. I could do it every weekend and never get bored of it. I would love to go to Europe and just backpack around or go to Peru and backpack the Inca trail. I would also love to go back to the Wind Rivers since we never made it to Temple peak. (Bear!)

Thanksgiving in Wyoming

Penelope and I spent Thanksgiving at my parent's house in Wyoming. My Mom really wanted a new family picture, since there were three additions in the past year, so everyone came, except Aaron. (He had to work, of course.) There were 35 of us. 17 grandchildren, and Penelope is not even the youngest. There are 2 that are younger than her. It was a lot of fun but it was also very noisy and busy.

One of my sisters bought a pinata and the kids had a lot of fun breaking it. Penelope thought it was great fun, until it fell to the ground and then she started crying. She just couldn't believe that anyone would be that mean to such a cute animal. (When the pinata was in the house, waiting for it's fate, Penelope would walk by and growl at it and then giggle.)

Penelope really missed her Daddy while we were gone, but she found substitutes. She really loved her uncle John (in the picture), uncle Morgan and Grandpa.

It was a very nice trip, but we are glad to be home. Oh we had a chance to see Christa and Bianca while we were in Salt Lake. I wanted to see Carey too, but I didn't want to make her feel obligated to come and see me, especially since baby is coming soon. Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Happy Halloween

We sure had fun dressing Penelope up for Halloween. She really liked it too. I thought for sure that she would pull at the costume, but she loved having it on. We went to the ward trunk or treat and she did well and loved seeing the other little kids, but a grown up in a pirate costume was too much for her and we went home shortly thereafter. Earlier in the day we went to show her off at my work and she was just too cute. We hope you all had a great Halloween.

Our Little Diva

My sister Penny sent this vest for Penelope's birthday and said in the card that every girl has to have a "Diva outfit." Too cute!

Jeans

A friend of mine has a little girl that is about 6 months older than Penelope, so when she outgrows her clothes they get passed on to us. We just got these cute little jeans and I just had to get a picture.
