Seven random and/or weird facts about myself.
1.
If I put salt and pepper on my food, I have to put the pepper on first. If the pepper is unavailable I will wait, however long it takes. The reason for this is because you can see the pepper on your food which gives a better idea of how to apply the salt that you can't see. I know they come out of their shakers at different rates but, in my mind, it makes sense.
2. I can remember all the words to my elementary school song, but for the life of me, cannot remember anything about my high school song. And I was a cheerleader for three years! I'm sure if my memory was refreshed it would all come back, but as of now, I'm drawing a blank.
3. Growing up I always wanted my name to be Nicole. I used to imagine that was my name and how wonderful it would be.
4.
I will not wear shoes that show my toes unless my toenails are painted. And my toenails can never be painted green. It looks like fungus. My friends used to threaten me that if I fell asleep before them I'd wake up with green toenails.
5. When I registered for my wedding, I didn't bring Jesse with me. I brought my mom. But Jesse was more than happy to sit that one out.
6. In elementary, I used to cry and get sick to my stomach every year on the first day of school. My mom would have to push me out the door while the little girl that lived down the street, who was younger than me, patted me on the back and said, "It'll be okay, Christa". I still get sick to my stomach when I have to walk into an unfamiliar room. The thought of everyone looking at me when I walk in is just too horrible.
7.
Rainy weather is my favorite. I love when it is gray and gloomy outside. Rainy and
windy, that's another story. The wind scares the crap out of me.
I'm not tagging anyone. If you think it would be fun to share a little about yourself, do it and you can say I tagged you.
(Jenn, please don't critique my cake decorating skills too harshly.)
We told him to smile after blowing out the candles and this is what we got.
Although he did not enjoy opening his presents (that would require him to sit still for far too long) he has enjoyed wearing / playing with them. He got tons of great gifts: clothes, pajamas, cowboy boots, a tool box with a drill, Iron Man car, sports balls, and a Doodle Pro to name a few. 
Jesse and I gave him a new bike to ride.
Our happy family relaxing after all the chaos.
The following day we took him to Jumpin' Jacks. 
He had no fear and didn't even think twice about going down the huge slides.
Savannah came with us and she was a big help. Thanks for chasing him around for us Savannah!
He had a blast and it was so nice to be able to just let him run around and be as crazy as he wanted to be.
Good times!
Cannon was Indiana Jones.
Hudson was a football player for, what other team, the University of Utah.
Sophia was one of the cutest little bumble bees I've ever seen.
Valerie was Goldilocks.
You don't have to say it. I know I have the cutest nieces and nephews around.
I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!
I was listening to the most fitting song too.
And then we have the boys; two of my nephews, Cannon and Hudson, and of course, Marshall. They were being silly and this is the best picture I could get. 
See what I mean. I'm seeing three future troublemakers here. But they're still cute and Marshall loves to play with them.
After having so much fun watching the band, playing football, and eating cookies Marshall was all tuckered out.
