The Wood Family

As I was doing Alexa's hair for church today, she was comparing our family's eye colors. She then proceeded to tell me that my hair color was banana. Well this evening as she was going to bed, she informed us that she knew all of our hair colors. Daddy is dirt, Mommy is banana, Devin is root beer, McKenzie is raspberry and her and Jaxon are strawberries. You could tell she had given this a great deal of thought. Isn't it funny how a child's mind works sometimes?

3 Joys
1.MY CHILDREN-They are by far my greatest joys and blessings. My life would not be complete without them and I am the luckiest Mom in the world!
2. MY HUSBAND-Without him I would not have my four beautiful children. He is a great Dad and Husband.
3. MEMBERSHIP IN THE CHURCH-I am so grateful to be a member of the church. I am grateful that families can be together forever!

3 Fears
(Does this have to be just 3?)
1.My biggest fear is something happening to Jared or my kids. I could not live without them.
2.Car accidents-I have been in 3 major accidents and gratefully only minor injuries in 2 of them(stitches in my head in one and a broken ankle in another one). I am scared to death that my car will crash into water and I will not be able to save all of my children.
3. Jared losing his job-I guess this counts as financial stability. We have done this before and it still scares me, especially the way the economy is right now.
4. Snakes-They are creepy, crawly and slimy-need I say more?

3 Current Obsessions or Collections
1.Things that are lost. Nothing makes me more insane than when stuff is lost. That is my biggest obsession. Binkys, shoes, clothing, phones or anything being lost will make me incredibly cranky (just ask my kids).
2. It seems like lately all I can can collect is junk and more projects to do. I always intend to finish one project before I start another one but it usually does't work that way. Right now I have more projects than I am motivated to do.
3. It may be a little juvenile but lately I have been helping Alexa collect princess polly pockets. I do not play them, even though I am constantly changing their clothes for Alexa. It is just fun to see your kids actually play with something for more than a few minutes. These entertain her for hours and hours, she even sleeps with them.

3 Surprising or Interesting Things About Me
1. When I was little I was quite the tumbler and extremely flexible. I could do the splits on all three sides. I used to watch TV with my feet locked behind my head (like a pretzel). The interesting thing is that I can still do my right leg splits and would still be able to lock my legs behind my head if my tummy didn't get in the way (thank you to my children for that ).
2. Many of you know what a picky eater I am. The thing that might surprise you is that I still cook pretty much anything for my family. I am actually a pretty good cook and just because I do not like it does not mean I will not make it for my family. Side note: My kids are pretty good eaters, unlike their mother.
3. I love action movies. All growing up we watched action movies. Ever since then I would much rather watch a good action flick than a chick flick.

I have chosen to TAG... NOBODY because it took me a month and a half to answer this one!

Marriage Tag!!
How long have you been married? 11 1/2 years
How old is your spouse? 33
Who eats more? I do. Jared gets gout in his foot, so he has to take medicine everyday. A side effect of that medicine is that nothing tastes good, so I definitely eat more.
Who said I love you first? He did.
Who is taller? Jared, by centimeters. We are almost the same height, both 5'9".
Who sings better? Neither of us. That talent gene skipped us both.
Who is smarter? I am. He has a little more street smarts than I do. I tend to over think things.
Who controls the T.V. remote? He does, which is probably why I stay up way to late to watch my shows every night. It is the only time I get the TV to myself.
Whose temper is worse? Jareds. He gets very grouchy and can get pretty worked up.
Who does the Laundry? I do all of it.
Who does the dishes? I do them all of the time.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do.
Who cooks dinner? Surprisingly, I do. Most of you know how picky I am so it might surprise you that I am actually a pretty good cook and I cook pretty much anything whether I like it or not. Jared is actually a really good cook. He does cook breakfast every once in awhile. He is much better than I am at making breakfast.
Who is more stubborn? This is a toss up. It depends what the issue is.
Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Generally neither of us (see above question). If I had to say one I would say I am.
Who has more friends? Definitely me. I still get together with my friends from high school every month. My husband is not exactly a social butterfly.
Who has more siblings? Jared is the fourth of seven. I am the oldest of three.
Who wears the pants in the family? Jared does most of the time.
