So can you tell we've been a little preoccupied with the broken leg?!? It has made a very needy child even needier!!! But I am thankful for her. She still finds joy in everything- I can't believe it, or maybe I shouldn't be surprised!! Hannah has learned to scoot everywhere. That wheelchair is just too bulky and slow for her! I can't tell you how many socks we've gone through- (most of them mine) as she wears them over her cast so her toes stay warm. But all that scootin' is making holes in the heels of every sock she wears! So I am taking sock donations if anyone's interested! hee hee. We go back to the doctor tomorrow to check out how her healing is going. Maybe they'll change out her cast to a half leg--- in my dreams! Dad is the main "lifter" around the house, but when he's not home, it's me, and my 6 month pregnant body is feeling it! She's a heavy little thing w/ that cast! Everytime one of us picks her up to take her potty or put her in the car, she says, "I love you so much mom (or dad)!! You're the best mommy ever! Thank you for helping me! I love you, I love you, I love you!!" It's nice to be adored and appreciated! Love you too Hannah!

In other family news-- we are busy busy this week with music and our Stake Nativity Festival. Hunter and Brock have been practicing for weeks to sing in the Stake Children's Choir at the Nativity. They perform this Friday night at 6 pm, followed by the Stake Adult Choir (which I am in) at 6:30 pm. This is my favorite time of year to be in choirs. It's a busy time, but the music is so beautiful and the spirit it brings is so strong-- I splurge and allow myself a little "me time" to sing in the choirs at Christmas. Nana and Papa Seamons are coming this weekend and will be here "just in time" to see our performances! We can't wait!

Saturday night, Hunter sings in the City of Frisco's Tree Lighting Celebration called "Merry Main Street." His school choir takes the stage at 7:30 pm. I'll be sure to post pictures after the weekend. We also have Bill's office Christmas party during the day on Sat. which is the highlight of the kids' holiday season. It's pretty fun and they go all out. From rock climbing to pony rides, superheros and obstacle courses, it's a great family day. This year they've added a mechanical bull- we'll see how our cowboys do on that!

We had a nice and quiet thanksgiving. We missed our families as this was a year we couldn't travel and no one could come for a visit... so we spent the day with some friends and had a nice celebration. We sure have a lot to be thankful for... we are so blessed!

I promise a more exciting and picture-filled post the next time, but I did want everyone to know we're still alive and kickin'- BARELY!! Love to all!

So, I've been tagged by my great friend Kristin..... thanks babe! I guess I am supposed to write 6 facts about myself and then tag 6 others. So- watch out, you may be next!! ha ha. Here we go, for your reading pleasure and entertainment:

1. Kristin tagged me because she wanted me to tell you about my microwave timing issues. Yes, I am a freak, yes, I am neurotic. I CANNOT, under any circumstances stop my microwave on any other number but a multiple of 5. (5, 10, 15, 20, etc.) Oh yeah baby- even if something is boiling over, NOPE- can't do it. Have to wait 'til it gets to a multiple of 5. Hey- it's good for the kids when they're learning to count by fives! :) I also have to have my TV volume on an even number, usually 12 or 14. You won't ever catch it on a 17 or something like that. If you do, you know Bill's been watching it- and if that's the case, it's on ESPN too.

2. My lifelong dream is to be a nurse. I have wanted to be a nurse since I can remember. I am obsessed w/ medical issues and medical shows. (Ok, so Grey's Anatomy is much more about the hot Mr. McSteamy than the medicine, but it's a good excuse!) I WILL be a nurse someday. Last semester I took a class to get me started, but now I am preggers again and nursing is on the back burner. But it's still lit and I'm still just itching to get in there and become a nurse. One day--- after the childbearing years are over!

3. I LOVE bread. I can't get enough bread. Guess that's the explanation for a lifetime of weight issues. White, wheat, sourdough, banana, zucchini, french, oatbran, you name it, I like every kind of bread... except Rye. I will fill up on bread at a restaurant and take my meal home 9 times out of 10. Ice Cream's not bad either! hmmmm.... better change my fav foods to carrots and celery if I am planning on losing this baby weight!!!

4. GREEN is my favorite color. I have always liked the color green. Back in the 90's, it was forest green, then I went to lime green, now I am more along the lines of avocado/artichoke green. But it's always been a hue of green- for as long as I remember!

5. I have a hair fettish. I can't stand hair anywhere. You'd think I would have shorter hair or something, but my own hair even grosses me out. However, the darker the hair, the grosser-- I just can't stand seeing hair off of someone's head. I want a hairless (ok maybe not hairless, but at least a "shedless") dog if we ever get one. Hair just grosses me out!!!

6. I love being pregnant, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE newborns. I crave going into labor so I can have 3 days at the hospital in relative peace to spend with my newborn baby gift from God. I enjoy every kick, punch, rock, and roll inside of me for as long as I can feel it. I am just starting to feel this baby boy kicking me pretty hard and I love it. I will enjoy his kicks while he's inside and then hold him forever when he makes his entrance into the world in March!!

So here's my tag- Emily, Jess Whiting, J Fred, Amy B., Stephanie R., and Haley- YOU'RE IT!

The rules: Player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves. At the end of the post, player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and posts a comment letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read their blog for the rules.
