I Got Tagged-High School!

1. Did you date someone from your high school? My Sophomore year I dated Kasey Quilter. My Junior year I dated Zach VanWagoner. My Senior year I dated Brad, (my husband), but he didn't go to my school.
2. What kind of car did you drive? I didn't have a car in high school. I just bummed rides off my friends!
3. What was the most embarrassing moment of high school? I was trying out for the musical my Junior year. I had practiced and practiced my song. I got up in front of everyone to sing it and completely forgot the words! I kept trying over and over again, but for some reason I just couldn't remember them. I was horrified! Luckily they were really understanding, and I got in the musical anyway!
4. Were you a party animal? I loved to party, but never used drugs or alcohol!
5. Were you considered a flirt? Ummmm......I really did love to flirt with guys! Only when I didn't have a boyfriend, though! And I never flirted with my friends' guys! I always knew the line not to cross!
6. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir? Yes, I was in choir. Unfortunately I sluffed that class, alot, and talked alot. Brad makes fun of me and calls me the "choir rebel" because compared to everyone else in that class I was more rebellious, but compared to everyone else in high school, I was very innocent!
7. Were you a nerd? I would have to say no. Not that there is anything wrong with being a nerd.
8. Were you on any varsity teams? I was in Madrigals, if that is considered a varsity team......
9. Can you still sing the fight song? Nope!
10. Did you get suspended or expelled? No Way! I was a good girl!
11. Who was your favorite teacher? Really? Sad to say, but I can hardly remember any of my teachers' names! I had a history teacher I really liked. Dang it! I can't remember his name! That is going to drive me crazy!
12. Where did you sit during lunch? I never sat in the lunch room! We always went out to lunch or went to someone's house.
13. What was your school's full name? Alta High School
14. School Mascot? Alta Hawks
15. Did you go to Homecoming? And who with? Junior year I went with Kasey Quilter(I think, we were kinda on the rocks.) Senior year I went with Brett Moore.
16. If you could go back and do it again, would you? Nope. It was fun while it lasted, but I wouldn't want to do it again.
17. What do you remember most about graduation? One thing I remember was how much I missed Brad, and how sad I was that he wasn't there to celebrate the occasion with me. (I had just sent him off on his mission.) And the Pepperwood party is always a good memory!
18. Where did you go senior skip day? I haven't ever heard of that, but like I said previously, especially my senior year, there were several skip days!
19. Were you in any clubs? Nope! Not that I can remember anyway. Gosh, I don't know if I have a horrible memory, or if I have just blocked alot of this stuff out!
20. Have you gained some weight since then? Well, I can still squeeze into my high school clothes, but I have gained like 10 pounds, give or take.
21. Who was your prom date? Sophomore year-Kasey Quilter. Junior year-Zach VanWagoner. Senior year-Brian ??????(Yes, I did forget his last name!)
22. Are you planning on going to your ten year reunion? I still haven't decided.....
23. Looking back, what advise would you give yourself? Don't care so much about what people think! Just be yourself and have fun!

Well, I hope that didn't bore you to death! It was good to reminisce, even though I don't remember everything! I have to tag 5 people, so, Heather, Amber, Cami, Wendy, and Katie. Go for it girls!

Kassi's B-day part 1

Grandma Swanson, Lana, and Kassi looking at the Giraffes.
Ok, this is totally weird, but I just had to take a pic of this giraffe. It was so sad! It wanted those leaves so badly. It just kept sticking out its tongue and reaching for those leaves. I seriously watched it for like 10 minutes, hoping it would get those leaves. It's so funny how animals can teach you things. This giraffe was reaching over and over again to get those leaves, and it looked like there was no way that it would reach them. As humans, after trying for so long we usually give up. But just as I was about to walk away the giraffe got a hold of a branch that was closer to it, pulled it down, and was able to reach the leaves. It was a great reminder to me that if you first don't succeed try, try, and try again. Sorry, that got a little deep. But this for some reason had an impact on me.

More toys............
Our little family. (Once again Kassi hiding from the camera.)

Ok, I know I keep doing these posts in parts, but I have pics on the camera and I totally forgot how to get them off. I know, I am totally dumb. Brad showed me, I just can't remember all the steps.......

Anyway, Kassidy turned 3 on August 8th. We had a party with the Swanson side on the Sunday before her b-day, and then on her b-day we went to the Zoo. Then we had a party with the Clegg side, but those are the pics that will be posted in part 2. I love my Kassi and can't believe how fast she is growing up! She is so fun and I love being a mom more than anything in this world!

Keep the Play-Doh on the table!

So I decided I needed to do a little blogging, and got out some Play-Doh for Kassi to play with. She has had problems in the past keeping the play-doh on the table. She would get it in the carpet, put it in her toys, etc. So I told her to make sure and keep it on the table. She is going to be 3 tomorrow, and is doing really well at listening to what I say, (which can be good and bad!)I was out of the room no more than 5 minutes (maybe it was a little longer than that) and came in to check on her, and this is what I found.................................

She had put the play-doh ALL OVER the table! She was very proud of herself. She said, "Mommy, I got no doh on the carpet!" I was laughing so hard, I had to snap a couple pics! Of course her eyes are closed in all of them, but what do ya do! At least she listened to what I had said. She definitely kept the play-doh on the table!

July 24th Part TWO...

Steve is such a trooper. He is always taking such good care of us! Here he is serving us ice cream and brownies!

Gosh, It's about time I'm getting this post done! Brad did show me how to put the pics on the computer. So now I just need to remember how to do it......

The night of the 24th we hung out with the Clegg side of the fam. We had a BBQ and played some beach volleyball.(It wasn't on the beach, we were playing with a beach ball.) Anyway, then we did the whole fireworks thing. Kassi loved it, she just didn't want to get too close. It was way fun. I'm lucky I have such a great family!

Are you SERIOUS????

There is a new website that Jamie introduced on her blog that I thought was so fun! So now I am introducing it to you! It is a hilarious lady who loves to make fun of us LDS bloggers! (In a good way!) The site is www.seriouslysoblessed.blogspot.com
Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Luke!
This is the only pic I could get of Zachy! He's been a little anti-picture lately.
Cute Justin! He's growing up so fast!
Little Lana. I feel like she's my niece, but she's my cousin Christina's daughter. So she's my 2nd cousin? I think...

Ok, I posted a lot of pics, and they aren't even in order! I'm still getting the hang of all this! My sister-in-law, Shannon, and her kids, Luke and Ava, came to visit us from St Louis. It was way fun having them here. But we missed Jordan. We love you Jordan! We celebrated Luke's 4th b-day while they were here. Kassi just loves being around her cousins! It was so great to be able to spend time with them since we only get to see them twice a year!

The reason why I put 24th part one is because I only posted pics of the daytime activity. I still haven't figured out how to transfer pics from my camera to the computer and Brad won't show me how. I think he thinks I will mess something up and end up erasing everything. He's probably right. I am horrible with computers, but I am getting better. Anyway, My mom, Laura, Brad, and me went up to Silver Lake so Brad could do some fishing. We stopped at the Silver Fork Lodge Cafe and ate lunch. The food was ok. Nothing too great, but somewhere I would go again. Then we headed to the Lake. Ok, I had never been up there before I married into the Clegg family, and they introduced me to this heavenly place. It is absolutely gorgeous! It's great because there is a walkway around the lake and pretty stroller friendly the whole way through. This is my new favorite outdoorsy spot. I LOVE IT! Unfortunately it is not very big, so it can get crowded very fast. And it was very crowded on the 24th, so Brad didn't catch anything. But we still had a blast up there. Sorry about all the pics I posted this time. I didn't realize there were so many until I was scrolling up and there didn't seem to be an end. Well, there is only more to come! Part two will be coming shortly. Or as soon as Brad will post these pics for me! Love you honey!

Girl's Lunch

Kassi and those pretty flowers.
She actually has her eyes open!

On the left:Lisa, and her little boy, Tyson, Melissa; On the right:Linsey, Carly, and her baby girl, Aven, and me(I know! I look totally dumb in a hat! It's just so much easier...)
Hanging out on top, Josh, and hanging out on the bottom is Kassi, (blinking of course) and Jared. These are Melissa's cute boys.
Tyson(Lisa), Kassi, and Aven(Carly)

So, I have the best friends ever! Every month I get together with 4 of my best friends. We usually go out to dinner or go to someones house without our children to have a fun night of girl bonding. This month was a little crazy, so we decided to go to lunch instead and bring our children. Since we had our kids this month, we decided to go to good ole' McD's. It was way fun. I love my girls and am so blessed to have such great friends! I got home and my in-laws were outside and decided to take some pics of Kassi in front of their beautiful flowers. Since I had my camera handy, I decided to snap a few myself. They actually turned out pretty cute, considering I can never get Kassi to look at the camera, and if she does she is always blinking. Oh well!
