Guess it's my turn...

I was tagged (several times actually) so I figured it was time for me to do it. I think this is what I'm 'posed to do...

First, the rules:

1. Link back to the person who tagged you. Several of the blogs I read have tagged me!! Just look at the blogs I read below :)
2. Post these rules on your blog.
3. Share six unimportant things about yourself. Or things people may not know about you.
4. Tag people at the end of your entry.

My 6 facts:

1. I pop almost every bone in my body! Fingers (three different ways), toes, ankles, knees, elbows, neck, back (three different ways), wrists (makes a pretty odd sound), and I'm still not too sure what it actually is popping, but either it's my hip or my groin (if that can pop)-really odd, but it feels good!!! :)

2. I sometimes laugh like a Guinea Pig (I know they don't laugh, but how they sound)! And I want a Guinea Pig, but have not convinced Daniel yet! Just wait till Brenden gets older :)

3. I don't eat crunchy fries. I only like the ones that are smushy! And I dip them in sweet & sour sauce (or Polynesian)-This is so not weird, but Daniel seems to think so!

4. I want to own a Hallmark some day. Worked at one for about 6 years, & I just love it!!

5. I have to make the bed EVERY night, or I will not sleep in it! The covers have to be just perfect. If Daniel tries to go to bed before me I make him get up when I get in there, so I can make the bed! I also remake the bed after the ladies leave from cleaning the house, because they don't make it the way I need it!

6. I put ice in my milk. Only ONE piece though-can't be any more than that!

OK, on to the tagging. There are so so many people I want to know 6 random facts about that my list would be forever long, so if you are reading this, YOU'RE TAGGED!

For Sale!!

We have put our home on the market! We had not planned on moving for a couple more years, but those plans changed :) There are a couple apartment complexes going in around our neighborhood & we would like to get the most out of our home when we sell it, so we thought now would be the best time. We have always wanted to buy land to build our next home on. Daniel & I went searching for some this past weekend. You can't just buy an acre or two in the area we would like to be in, and we don't want to drive an hour or so to work. So...we found a really nice place to build our next home. It's a few miles more northwest of where we are now & the area is beautiful! Once we sell our home, which hopefully won't take too long, we will be moving into an apartment while the new house is being built. We are SO excited!!! I'm sure once we actually move out of this house I will be sad, but I get sad moving out of every home I've lived in! We prayed about what we should be doing & how we should go about it all, & once we planned on selling the house & found the new area, we just new it was meant to be. It felt awesome!

Meltdown & Some Action

Yea, we both had a meltdown tonight. He started it, so I just let it all out, right along with him. Little man hardly ever gets real upset about anything, but sometimes he just needs to cry & get it all out. That's exactly the way I am. Something so small can set me off & I'll just cry. Well that's what happened tonight with Brenden. It was Pringles that made him lose it. Pringles. Sour Cream and Onion Pringles to be exact. He wanted some (before dinner), and got them out of the pantry, I saw the handful he had & asked him to hand them to me, & I would give him a few. Yea, um...he lost it. He just cried & was so upset. Not only about the Pringles, I just think he thought about all kinds of things. Then he knew I was upset, and I don't think that helped any. I hate him being sad. Hate it. We both went and got on my bed, snuggled & just cried while we were looking at each other. The night got better though! And it ended good & that's all that matters :) I love him...

Then... look what went on across the street!! Don't know why yet, but I'm gonna find out! He doesn't live there & she's the nanny, so I'm not sure who this dude was. Sorry for the blurry whiteness at the top & bottom of the pic. I took it through our front window-it's the blinds.

Only Poop!

Well, not a lot going on 'round here. Just trying to stay cool-it is HOT!! Not much to blog about either, so don't mind me while I just ramble on for a bit. Speaking of(well, I guess I didn't speak anything about it, but I was thinking about it), y'all know, you can leave comments on this thing, even if you don't have a blog account!?! Just lettin' ya know, because I have found out that there are several peeps that read this, & we didn't know you did :) Just sayin.

Daniel's fire truck (well i guess it's not really his-one of Ft Worth Fire Dept's fire trucks) broke down last night, so Daniel was not able to go to a house fire right behind the station he was at. He was quite angry!! People were coming up to the station saying there's a house on fire!!! Yea, I'm sorry, we can't do anything about that...you'll have to wait till the other engines come.

Speaking of angry, that's one of Brenden's new things he likes to say. The other day I was asking him to do something & he looked at me, scrunched his face up & said "I'm angry!" Oh, really! I try all I can to not laugh, because it's so cute! I guess he's just learning all his emotions.

You're probably wondering what the title has to do with this blog...well Brenden loves cereal! I think it's his most favorite thing since sliced bread. Yesterday I gave him a baggie with some cereal in it, for him to eat on the way to school. There was some left in it once we got there, & he said he wanted to keep it in his seat to eat after school. After I picked him up, we went to see Daniel at the station & when we left he asked to have the cereal. Well, it got really hot being in the car during the day! So, I said let's let it cool off, once we get home & then you can have it. He didn't like that too much. I said hot cereal can burn your mouth(i know, not really)& it's nasty! He said "hot cereal isn't nasty, only poop!!! LOL I was rollin' & so was he. Then he said "boys say that". Yea, I know!

Just a little FYI...you only have 5 business days to get your inspection done, once it's up! I have always thought you had 30 days. Like, mine was up in June, so I thought I just needed to get it done by the end of this month. Well I was pulled over last week & found out differently. But I didn't get a ticket, cause Daniel's a fiya fita :) We should be in the record books or something, because Daniel's registration has been up since October 07! haha We are trying to make it to October of this year, so we don't have to pay now & then pay again in October, because they make you get it done in the month it's up.

Alrighty, guess that's all for now. Y'all have a good rest of the week!!

Just in case anyone else cares...Dallas Star's 1st pre-season game...September 23rd!!!!

Themed show & tells

Knight in shinning armor
Our handsome cowboy
Brenden's school has show & tells every week. Usually they just bring something from home that has to do with what they are studying that week. The past two times, they have been able to dress up! Last week they were studying kings, queens, knights, & castles, so he dressed up as a knight! Although, he doesn't get what the sword is, which is fine by me! He thinks it's something that water can spray out of, so he points it at the ground & makes water sounds like 'ssshhhh'! This week they were studying cowboys, horses & rodeo things, so he was a cowboy! The suede jacket was my great uncle's from when he was a little boy! He gave it to Brenden last year, & he loves wearing it! They were not allowed to wear boots, because of the slippery soles, but he does have a pair :) I know that song says don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys, but I think he'd make a darn good one!!

Look what we got!!!

We both got our first tattoo today!! Yes, mine was quite painful! Apparently the top of your foot would not be the best place to experience your first tattoo! But, that's where I've always wanted it :) Daniel said(he went first) it just feels like someone scratching you. SURE!! Um...let's see...it felt like someone had a ball point pen, stuck inside my foot & drug it through! Glad I didn't plan on getting anything big, because it would have probably just gotten half way done. But I am glad Daniel & I were able to experience our first tattoos together! We never thought we would have ever done this, but we love them :) Oh, I was peeking through my fingers, to watch a little!
Daniel, taking it like a man!!! The guy who did our tattoos, came into the fire station one day, while Daniel was on shift. He brought his little girl in because she loves firemen & would like to become one someday! Very nice guy!! Absolute Ink is the name of the shop he owns.
Daniel's is the word grace, written in Greek (the original language of the new testament). His is quite bigger than mine!
Mine is the Chinese symbol for faith. And it's purple!! I worry pretty often (um-all the time), so I just wanted to have something for me to look at & remind me, to just have faith. I pray about worrying all the time, but I just can't seem to turn it all over to God. But, I'll get there, someday.
Doodle got a tat also! lol He picked his out of some temporary tattoos we got. His is a cross with a tiny heart in the middle. He wanted it in the same place daddy had his! Isn't he a handsome cowboy!?!

Our 4th

Friday, the 4th was pretty lame for us :) Brenden & I just had a pajama day & did things around the house. After nap, we did go see Daniel at the station, so I guess that was the highlight of our day! Here are a few pics from our visit...

See Daniel & Doodle at the very back, on the ladder...
Me & my little man
On Saturday we went to the lake house. Played in the lake, had the big firework show & played on the toys...oh, & had homemade ice cream :)


Friday night was scary for me. We have pretty bad allergies & several times a year Brenden will get a runny nose & then a cough that'll go away with some Zyrtec. Well, on Thursday it started again, but he was coughing a lot on Friday! After bath time that night, I noticed he seemed to be struggling to breathe. He said he was feeling ok, but he even had to take breaths in the middle of talking. I put him to bed, got out my 'what to expect' book, & thought he may have asthma. I was so worried about him breathing! I stayed up the whole night making sure he kept breathing & then on Saturday morning, before we went to the lake, we took him to the doctor. Well, he does have mild asthma & she game him a breathing treatment. We also have to do it at home when we think he will be needing it. But, he is doing much better now!

While we were playing in the lake...Daniel looses his wedding ring!!! And guess what...he found it!! At the bottom of the lake(we could touch the bottom where we were)! I didn't find out about this until he found it, because they didn't want me freaking out. I still can't believe he found that thing!

4th of July Parade

Dad & Doodle
Me & Doodle
Let's get this thing rollin' already!
Hey mom & dad!!
That was fun!

Brenden's school had a 4th of July parade on Friday, that we were able to go to. The kids were able to bring a bike, scooter, or wagon decorated with red, white & blue things. We had a good time!

I just thought I would take a second to embarrass myself...

As we were decorating the bike the night before, Daniel was blowing up some balloons. Well, before he tied the balloon off, he had it make a couple noises for Brenden. Then told him to put his mouth around it, like he was blowing it up...Daniel let some of the air out into Brenden's mouth & I got excited & said "Oh, talk!!!" lol stupid!!! Daniel is not helium filled, Brenden is not going to sound any different! Daniel(& I) just cracked up!
