I've been tagged...

6 quirky things about me...

1. I hate to clean! When I do clean, I jump around the whole time, never completing one room before I move on to something else. I know, I'm weird! I've always been this way!

2. I love to shop, but feel guilty if I spend more than $100 on myself. "Myself" includes everything except food. But, when I shop at Costco, it doesn't seem to count. It all becomes food there (I realize this is a wierd justification)!

3. I love to start projects...new and exciting things that are sitting in my head forever. Notice, I said "start..." I have a problem finishing things though. I have about ten projects going right now. That doesn't include work projects. I don't understand it myself. I need to hire a "finisher." I guess this goes right along with #1 I guess the one thing I am great at finishing is books!

4. I hate to call people. I don't know if I'm allergic to phones or what, but calling people makes me nervous. If they want to talk to me, they will call me, right?! I know, that's not how it works. I have gotten better than I was, but it's still a work in progress. The wierd thing is, I really don't mind getting up in front of people and teaching, or talking.

5. I love to travel. In my mind, all the money spent traveling is justified, because you're creating memories. Right? Any excuse to play! I live for the next trip, unfortunately, I don't have one planned.

6. Last for now, but there are more for sure...I love paper and fabrics. I would love to have a room filled with them! I'm obsessed with Amy Butler and I wish I had at least a yard of every fabric she has ever designed! They just make me happy.

Last of the Football Pictures...

I know, you think I'm obsessed with the boys and their football. Well, I am. No doubt about it. I will have to post some dance pictures of Syd sometime soon though. I'm actually posting this because my mom really wanted to see these and I promised her weeks ago. So, here they are ;)
Tyler...number 10 like his dad!

Tanner

When I was scanning the pictures in I noticed what Tanner had done to the back of his picture. I think it is something he will look back on and get a kick out of. He has listed all the players and postions, the coaches, the team and even his favorite play. Too cute! I love these guys!

Lame Camera!

I'm sooo sad! I took some more great pictures on Halloween, and my camera ate them?! They just disappeared. Nyle and I even dressed up! We now have no proof! I've been too depressed about it to post. So frustrating!!!!

Happy Halloween!

This year we had to keep it simple on costumes. So, my kids used what we had. It was the easiest Halloween ever (after the morning rush was over).

Tanner is a BYU football player, of course. He has a helmet too, but we sprayed his hair blue for when he takes it off. That's a must, right?!
Tyler is a hick! Nice mullet, eh?!

This is Trevor, my third boy. Dad thought he needed a black eye.

Isn't this totally believeable? It is really cute in person. Sorry about the lame picture. I will try to get more later at our Halloween party. Have a great Halloweeen!

Grandpa Chambers turns 90!

The whole gang got together for a big celebration on Sunday. Nyle's Grandpa Chambers turned 90! It was so fun to be with everyone...he has a lot of posterity! James Suckow put together a video of all his old photos. It was awesome! So neat to see how life has changed over the last 90 years. What a sweet man with a great life to look back on so far.


Dan & Lisa's family

Rick & Dianne's family

Curt & Vonnie

Tyler, Tanner & Alex (their cousin)


My boys with Grandpa

The whole gang...dogs and all!
The birthday cake and all of the candles Grandpa had to blow out!

Licking all the candles clean. My kids are here to help!

Lots of Football pictures

Our good friend, Jim Anderson, came to the football game on Tuesday night and took some great action shots. Some are not the best, but you can really see the action happening.

Tyler and Matthew
Tanner, the quarterback


The parents praying! Nasty shot of me, but oh well. They all are these days!


Our little runner, Cade

Cade again. Tyler in the background.


Tanner...he just released the ball!


Tyler on Defense...your player needs help buddy!

Get him, Tyler!

Tanner

Blurry action shot! Looks like Tanner is getting tackled.


Take a knee coach time!

In the huddle


I think our coaches face looks like this because the refs called another bad call! They really stunk! We lost last nights game just because of their calls, and lack of calls.

Offensive Line

Well, the season is over and our team didn't do the best, but they learned a lot! They had improved dramatically from their first game to their last! It was great fun to watch them, but I really did get nervous for them. I can't imagine how I will be in HS. Many years to come of this fun sport! Hopefully next year they will win some more games!

My favorite girl!

Last night Sydney got a chance to cheer at halftime of the HS football game. She did awesome! It was a really cute dance number that she rocked on. The pictures turned out terrible, but here are a few cute ones.
The one right below is not during halftime...but, the cheerleaders let them cheer with them later too. Syd is the third from the left.


Syd with her friend Sammy. Can you tell that they are looking at the cheerleaders like they are amazing?
Her cheeks said, "We Rock." Nyle asked her, "Who rocks?" She responded with..."Me?" The look on her face was priceless!
This is my favorite girl and her sense of style. She came outside in this outfit and Nyle and I almost died laughing. Luckily, she has a good sense of humor and she didn't cry (we are such great parents)! If you can't tell what she has on, it is my tank top (as a dress) with leggings, a little polka-dot sweater and a shiny belt to match her shiny shoes. The socks just complete the outfit! I am now trying to convince her that she doesn't want to wear this to the boy's football game. We'll see if I'm successful. Wish me luck! No matter what, I love this sweet, freckly faced girl! She does rock!
