I've Been Tagged!

I got Tagged! by Sarah Lingwall


1. Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
7 random facts about me:

1.) I learned to ride a dirtbike when I was 7! My dad got us all Honda 50's. Some weekends we would go to different locations to ride as well as the track he made on our land.

2.) My brothers and I loved to make movies! When my parents got a new video camera they gave us their old Beta recorder. We made several blockbusters ranging from action to horror. If you ever come over and are really bored I can pull them out for you:) Dracula's Cat and Stupidity parts one and two are quite entertaining. We even made some 1-900 commercials. Those are very interesting.

3.) I drove a tractor! In Merced, CA we had 4 acres of land. As you can imagine mowing the lawn meant something entirely different. In front of the house was one acre that was real lawn. The boys in the family were in charge of mowing this. Chirstian my bro would get creative and mow his name in the lawn. Oh I am sure he had a blast. Ha ha. Well that left the back yard for me. My dad bought a Kabota Tractor to do the job. It was great that I could listen to my Walkman and mow. However it would still take me more then one session to mow it all. I usually split it into a 2 day job.

4.) I was in Singing groups. Growing up in Merced there was a singing group I was in call The Sunshine Company. We would sing at the mall, nursing homes and stuff like that. I guess its no surprise but I was always in the front row on the end. Every year I would hope to move in one slot but it never happened I just wasn't tall enough:( Ridin' High! I sang in the singing group with my parents and I recorded a couple songs on their albums. My stage name was "The Pretty Prairie Princess the Songstress of the Plains." (Ya I know what you all are thinking). We would sing at all sorts of places ranging from Birthday parties to some pretty big events. I am glad for the experience but my dream was to sing Opera. I hope someday I can still do it. Although I am probably gonna start a band in the next year or so with Jason.

5.) I play World of Warcraft. Ok this is only cause my husband is into PC games and it got to the point where I couldn't beat him so I joined him. Then I got addicted. I really like to kill things with fireballs. I ended up having more level 60's then he did. Course now they upped the levels to 70 and he has 2 and I have none. I will play for a bit then I don't play at all. Pretty much if the weather is nice I wanna be out in it!

6.) I broke my wrist in two places! My friend Erica and I had two guys over to play monopoly. The game was never ending and it lasted till 2am. When we were done one of the guys was trying to demonstrate a wrestling move. I was the dummy ha ha. Needless to say He wasn't very good a demonstrating cause the evening ended with my wrist broken in two places. At the hospital I had to explain the embarrassing situation several times trying to explain that I wasn't a victim of abuse. I guess because of the hour they thought he was my boyfriend and we had been in a fight. lol.

7.) I kept my wisdom teeth. I guess that is pretty random or weird. The Dr. was able to take them out whole so I thought, hey maybe I can make a cool necklace out of these. I never have but I do still have them. I am sure OSHA would not approve.

Mother's Day!


Bryant making French toast!

Bryant enjoying the French toast he helped make!

This Mother's day was the best ever! I slept in till almost 10:00am! I awoke to my cute family bringing me breakfast in bed and a beautiful hand made card! Bryant helped make the french toast and I even got bacon!!!! I love that he can now wish me, "Happy Mother's Day!" Next we headed to church where I got to feel so loved and appreciated! To top the day off we went to Grandma Porters for a BBQ. I am so thankful for my little family! Thanks for giving me a beautiful day to remember!
