Fun With Face Paint
Wow - 2 posts in one night! Actually, I forgot to put these with the summer pics.
Some Summer Pics of The Girls
Yes, I know, I know. It's been over 6 months since I posted. I have hundreds of pictuers, just no time! In my few minutes, I picked out a couple of pics in the last couple of months. No time to do anything but resize these. We had fun taking them! Hope everyone is having a great summer :)

Five Reasons Why I Blog
I have been tagged by Jennifer. Check out her site if you get a chance :)
So here we go with five reasons why I blog:
1) because I like to share updates with family members and friends through photos and if the spirit moves me, words too.
2) because I get constructtive feedback and learn from others visiting my blog through the comments they leave me.
3) to meet others sharing in the same passion I have and to learn from what they are doing!
4) as a distraction for the everyday pressures of work ;)
5) so I have an excuse to dominate the computer time over my husband….. LOL
Now I'm going to tag 5 people:

Six Weird Things About *Moi*
I was tagged by Michelle, and I now owe the blogging population a list of 6 weird things about me. Here we go.
1. I DIP my burgers and hot dogs into huge piles of ketchup, but I do NOT eat ketchup with french fries.
2. I had a pet chicken growing up. We do not live on a farm. He was hatched from an incubator.
3. I dip bread and donuts (sometimes loaded with melted butter) into hot chocolate.
4. I cut my own hair.
5. I STILL avoid stepping on cracks.
6. I am not into football. So when asked who I am rooting for, I pick my football team winner by the type of animal mascot. For instance, I picked the Colts to win for tonight's Superbowl - because I love horses. If there is no animal, I base my pick on the color of the uniforms.
Not too interesting, but hope you had fun reading :)

The Final Countdown
The final countdown. My last 25 tidbits to share in my Blog Challenge - 100 Things about myself.
76. I love watching the Superbowl for the commercials. And sometimes the last quarter of the game.
77. I do not have a favorite football team.
78. I do not use anything past its expiration date. I don't care if I'm told I can "use it longer".
79. And if it smells or looks funny, I throw it out, regardless of the date.
80. I think cars would be safer if they were made out of plastic. Or built to crash like bumper cars.
81. I love theme parks and going on rides.
82. But I do not like waiting in the lines.
83. I am awesome at Wack-a-Mole.
84. I love Calla Lillies.
85. I like to fall asleep with our Envirascape water running. But if the toilet is running it drives me mad!
86. I wish the zoo animals and habitat was the nature around us. And not the nature we surround.
87. I purchased a stick shift car when I graduated college. I could not drive it off the lot.
88. I collected stickers when I was a kid.
89. I paid for my own college education.
90. I think there are too many channels on television.
91. I think there should be at least one television channel and radio station that ONLY have positive news ALL day long.
92. I wish someone could invent a way for trash to evaporate so we wouldn't have so much waste in the world.
93. I wonder why a pig was chosen to coin the term "piggy bank" and not another animal or inanimate object.
94. I like crown moulding in a home.
95. I prefer hardwood floors to carpet.
96. I do not like cooked vegetables, I prefer fresh vegetables.
97. I want a pair of heelies. LOL. They just look fun.
98. I don't think wedding cakes taste as good as Betty Crocker or the stuff you make from a box.
99. And I typically don't like the fondant either.
100. I LOVE to take pictures!

Blog Challenge - 100 Things About Yourself
Alrighty then. I was challenged “to come up with 100 things about yourself and post them on your blog.”
I figure this will make those of you reading (rather viewing) these posts understand me a little better. Possibly. I also would like to pose this challenge to anyone reading this blog. If you do this – please leave a comment so I can learn about you too!
I don’t really have 100 things that would be of any interest to anyone, so I may have to make some up. I certainly can’t come up with them all tonight. So, I will go with 25 things for tonight.
1. I am female.
2. I am married.
3. I have 5 children. Two of them natural and three of them by marriage – but they are all mine in my heart.
4. I am no longer 5'2, but I haven’t yet shrunk to 5'1.
5. I am pursuing my black belt in TaeKwonDo. I just got my blue belt.
6. I love animals. If I had the money I would buy "huge tracts of land" and spend my days in the wilderness.
7. I love horse back riding. But I only go once a year on vacation – in Aruba. On the beach. It’s the most peaceful experience.
8. I play – more accurately *played* the violin and piano. I'm a little rusty as it has been about 20 years since I’ve practiced.
9. I have so many e-mail addresses I can't remember all of them. Or their passwords.
10. I recycle. I think it is important.
11. I want to have twin boys if I get pregnant again.
12. My eyes look green. My doctor says they are technically blue since they have blue in them. But there are so many yellow and brown flecks my eyes look different with everything I wear.
13. I don’t know how to put on make-up.
14. I had a crush on Don Johnson growing up. When he was in Miami Vice.
15. I saw the new Miami Vice opening night because I was such a fan as a kid. I was what you would call – a Miami vice nerd.
16. I would love to be in a movie one day. Even if just to be an extra.
17. I would love to travel the world.
18. I love the beach.
19. I love the sun.
20. I don't like being cold.
21. I have long fingers, or so I'm told. And long toes.
22. I worry about the future – the environment, the population, our natural resources – and what it will be like for my children and grandchildren, and their children.
23. I think there is too much violence on tv.
24. I love chocolate.
25. I want to win the lotto. Even if I only win enough to pay off my debt.
