THE BROWN FAMILY: I've been tagged!

I've been tagged!

So, thanks to my friend, Autumn (www.joelandautumn.blogspot.com)--I've been tagged & get to think about some odd facts about myself to share with anyone who chooses to read this blog. Here we go...

1--I love to travel!! After living in Europe, I have loved going to other countries & seeing beautiful places, trying new things & learning about different cultures. It has stirred something inside of me to want to continue to travel anywhere & see more things.
2--I LOVE popcorn! I eat it almost every night. I am not a fan of microwave popcorn--it has to be airpopped. And of course salted & buttered. I also have a glass of cold milk to go with it. Lately, when I'm done eating my popcorn I need some chocolate. I wonder if I'll ever put the two together?
3--I get panicky when my house is not clean. I feel myself stress, the walls closing in on me & I try to plan out in my mind how to get all the jobs done.
4--I'm addicted to TV. After my kids go to bed, I sit on the couch & start watching the shows I've DVR'd. I've got my bowl of popcorn as my companion with me. My favorite show is "Without a Trace".
5--I love my family!! If I had a day to do anything, I would want to plan something with my husband & kids. I love our family outings. Even though evening time can be the most stressful part of the day, it's the best part of the day when we are all home together & have no where to go for the rest of the night.
6--I'm not that great at it, but I like to decorate my house. I like learning about different things to do & try to figure out what my style is & incorporate it into our home. I am always thinking of what room I can work on next. Unfortunately, I don't have unlimited funds to do whatever I want!
7--I like my day planned out so I know what to expect & have a schedule for the day. Especially when I have a lot going on for the week. If it's not planned out then I worry about how I'll get it all done. Being spontaneous is not a strength for me.

Here are the lucky ones I am going to tag...

Thoughts that remind me of what's important...

2/15--I told Brooklyn that I was going to eat her up & she responded "No mommy, I'm not yummy!"

12/1--We took the kids to the zoo & Brooklyn loved it. She can't stop talking about it & tells us everyday she wants to go to the zoo someday. We ask her what she wants to see & she tells us "monkeys, penguins, tigers, Jiffys...". We have a bird at home named Jiffy, but I couldn't figure out why she wanted to go to the zoo & see him. I finally realized that she thinks the birds she saw at the zoo are called Jiffys. I know she knows the word bird so I haven't figured out why she calls the birds at the zoo Jiffys. Maybe they looked similar. Anyway, it's cute how she put the two together.

11/3--I was in Target today walking through the kids clothes area. Brooklyn saw a Hannah Montana shirt & called out "Hannah Montana!". Next thing I know she is singing "Best of Both Worlds" song by Hannah Montana. I just started laughing. She's not even 2 & knows this pop hit. She learns so much from her older sisters.

9/13--Today, Allie was singing "Happy Birthday" to me. She likes to make up her own words & sang "happy birthday to you. You are older than the sun." I stopped her right then & said "What?". I began laughing, as did Jake, & then Allie started to a little bit. I don't think she really knew what she was saying, but it made me wonder if she really thought I was that old.

7/15--Whenever I call Brooklyn she always responds saying "Minute!". I don't know how she learned that, but I don't always like my 1 year old telling me to wait. It gave me a perspective to what my kids hear me say all the time & how it may make them feel.

5/13--At breakfast, Allie plugged her nose & said "My nose stinks". I asked what it smelled like & she said "poop". Funny how she thought it was her nose & not her diaper.

4/23--Allie is playing a game on the computer & having lots of fun. She calls to Nicole & says "Nicole, come see. I am very good at this". Funny thing is she is playing it totally wrong & keeps losing. She has amazing confidence & just keeps trying. Good for you, Allie!!

4/12--Allie was singing at the top of her lungs to Brooklyn somehow thinking no one else could hear her since we weren't in the same room. She sang to the tune of "Follow the Prophet", but she changed the words to "Follow the Priesthood". I guess that works, too.

3/25--Nicole informed me while we were out whale watching that "the dolphin is my favorite mammal". I am impressed that she knows the word "mammal", but even more so that she knows a dolphin is a mammal.

3/24--We are at Grammie's house & Jake asked Allie if she was ready for her bath. She told him she didn't want to take a bath with the airplanes on. We were kind of puzzled by her response & then it clicked--Grammie's bathtub is a jetted tub & she didn't want the "jets" on. Airplane-Jet--same thing, right?

3/15--Allie loves to say the prayer for the family. She does a great job & it's fun to hear how she'll phrase her sentences. Here's her latest cute quote..."bless the people in Iraq so they can be safe. Bless our prophet so he can be super safe". How cute she wants our prophet to be "super safe"!! It's like he's a super hero to her--a very important man.

2/23--Allie's primary teacher got released last Sunday, so we had been explaining all week that she wouldn't be her teacher anymore. We were talking about it again, last night, and asked Allie if she knew why her teacher wouldn't be there anymore. She told us "because she is tired of telling us stories". I don't know how that idea got in her head. I don't remember saying anything like that. You never know how a child will interpret something you say.

January 2008--Jake was driving in the car with Allie. He asked her what she needed to do when she got home to get clean. She answered "Get baptized"

January 2008--Brittany has commented several times on how she just hasn't found a best friend at school this year. We would talk to her often about it, but she just never clicked with anyone. We were talking to her about it again one day & she told us that she knew a best friend was important & she wanted to take her time to find a friend that would be a good example to her so that's why she didn't have a best friend yet. I love my deep thinker, Brittany
