This is the hardest tag ever!

This is a music tag...pick 5 of your favorite songs and explain why they are your favorite. Then! Tag 3 more people. (Ali, It's taken me forever to get the thought power to start this, it really is hard especially like you said, when I love so many different songs.)
1. "Life is Wonderful" ~ Jason Mraz ~ I think this is true to life. And I love it all that much more because of it.
2. "You Move Me" ~ by, I don't know the Artist title is like 8 people but it has Garth Brooks in there ~ I know the songs that I really love are like sappy love songs but... I just love them
3. "Don't Stop Believin'" ~ Journey ~ Ahhh, I just love the encouraging note of anyone can make it, despite our surroundings
4. "Finally" ~ Fergie ~ I love all her songs by the way! But this just speaks such good words that I feel it's hard to hear in other songs.
5. "This Everyday Love" ~ Rascal Flatts and "Those Sweet Words" ~ Norah Jones I feel cheated, there are so many more. Amber 311, all of the Phantom of the Oprah, Regina Specktor, Ingrid Michealson

I Tag Nat, and Heather

A little snibit for grandma & grandpa

I just thought they would love to see her run and talk. Even if the Camera wasn't steady at the end.

.:*Let's Go Fly a Kite *:.



David know's me well. This Christmas he got me a really cool kite. I know awesome hu? lol It's different, but this shows how well Dave knows me. He knew I would love a kite! So today, we finally took it for it's debut. It was so fun!! I felt professional for like two minutes until a couple of other big time kite fliers pulled out their ginormous kites and were doing stunts and what not.

Steps!

o.k. so I go to the Y quite often, for those of you who are out west, that is the YMCA. I love going to it and I'm going to miss it if we move to a place without a Y. I ran into Tamera and Russell, ward members (Tamera is the yw pres.), and they mentioned they were going to steps. I'm pretty sure they are regulars. So, I decided I would join. I loved the teacher, but I was just silly the whole time. I really liked it!! It was the oddest thing I was sweating and yet I didn't feel like I was about to kill over. I'm excited I hope I stick to it.

These two girls!


Calli and Lauren, they are certainly funny. Yesterday we went to the park with Calli and Melinda. We had fun and chatted, but the funniest moment was when Lauren, Excited to see Calli again from a three minute break from eachother, screamed and ran to give her a hug. As alot of things at this age, perception is not on, and so the two colided. The poor girls were just kinda dumbfounded, Calli was probably wondering, why did Lauren look happy to see me and then push me over? And Lauren was probably more like, What the heck just happened. I didn't do that did I? They are o.k. but I kinda had a little chuckle. If you could only see how excited Lauren was to see Calli and that she really did want to just give her a hug.

Bodie Lighthouse


O.k. Bodie sounds so familiar. don't know if that is because it sounds like bogie, but... I think it is actually in my geneology. But, this lighthouse was so cool. They have like five on the Outer Banks, much needed too. But they all have different patterned paint jobs. We weren't able to go up the lighthouse due to ageing and ocean side wear, but it was cool to see the pictures they had there of the spiral stair case.

EVMS Retreat


This last weekend, we went to the EVMS retreat and We had so much fun. It was over two nights. We went down to (kill devil hills) outer banks, NC. That is where the wright brothers first took air. Hence the name, I think. We just had such a fun time with eachother and had good laughs and good times. It's just been too long. Two other families from our ward, who are also at EVMS, came down. Probably the most enjoyable part of the trip for me was rigging up some baby monitors by calling our rooms with our cell phones and putting our end on mute while we played games, as adults. Oh with out the constant occupation of being a parent. I loved it! I feel that I always feel guilty if I'm not watching Lauren and having fun, but I think it made me feel o.k. that I wasn't the only one. :) Lauren had a blast in the pool and enjoyed our little stroll on the beach. I think Dave had the most fun on our "night off" when we went up to the dance and did a little boogie. I have to admit I had some fun with my Honey too.

Our little Nook


We love this nook! It fits us three just perfectly. The best about it though, is we wake up for the day and as the sun is coming into those two beautiful windows, we get to bask while we eat. Lunch and Dinner are great too but we just look out at the birds and lawn next to us. "Ahhh" is what it feels like.

We Moved!!



With so much great help from the lovely people of Norfolk, we moved. I feel just exausted with boxes. We moved a little pretty much every day for a month. So, needless to say, I still have boxes to unpack in the Study and the back room (porch) But I'll post just a few pictures.

Book Tag

For those that I'm going to tag, here is what you gotta do:
1. Grab your nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Tag 5 different people.

"In fact, I daresay they're a good deal the worse. But they've worn nice and easy. New shoes are smarter than old ones, but the old ones are more comfortable. I'm old enough to indulge myself in the matter of shoes and opinions. I mean to take it real easy here. I know you expect me to look after you and keep you proper, but I'm not going to do it. You're old enough to know how to behave if you're ever going to be. So, as far as I'm concerned," concluded Aunt jamesina, with a twinkle in her young eyes, "you can all go to destruction in you own way."
Anne of the Island
"Farewell. We have known great joys together. If Aslan gave me my choice I would choose no other life than the life I have had and no other death than the one we go to."
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Last Battle
It was a toss up between the two books.

Now I tag Nat, Liz, Ali, Laurel, Pam and any body else who wants to do this. You don't have to do it if I mentioned your name and you don't want to. It think it is funny to read a peice of the book out of context. Thanks Lara for tagging me awhile ago.
