I have seen tags, read tags, but never participated in a tag....so for my friend Dawn, here I go.
I was asked to list 6 quirky things about myself.....some of these I may have mentioned before, so it may come as no new surprise.
#1. I always make my kids put on clean underwear...like twice a day. If clothes are dirty it doesn't bother me, but undies have to be fresh and clean, especially when little bummies sit on school potties then transfer those germs onto undies.
#2. Which leads me to #2. I am a deep-clean-aholic. If the silverware drawer or fridge has crumbs it drives me crazy....smudge prints on the cuboards in the kitchen, can't stand it, but messy toy rooms don't bother me as much.
#3. Toe and fingernails. My dad's and Todd's are especially fun. It takes two hands to trim those suckers! Long and dirty fingernails on little kids is gross.
#4. If I had a day to myself I would choose to go on a long run, alone. Go shopping, alone. Hit some antique stores, alone. Then come home and bike with Todd up to get a steamer. The theme here is that I enjoy the solace of being with myself. I can go, stay, leave, linger as long or short as I'd like and not worry about who else was with me.
#5. I'm very indecisive. It's a problem. I'll be at a store, can't make up my mind. Buy it. Regret it, and go back again to return it....and usually the whole process is repeated with the next purchase I make.
#6. I'm not a big fan of going out to eat. Lunch with friends, dinner with the family or even Todd and I. I think it's because I'm frugal AND I love the meals I prepare. My salads and pastas are just as delicious as any I've had.

About Me
- Stacey
- Vancouver, Washington
- I have 4 beautiful, healthy children. Griffin, Camdyn, Kennedy and Brody. I've had four hard pregnancies....but I'm all done! Hooray! Todd and I have been married for 14 years. His support, love and friendship fulfills everything I could have ever wanted out of a marriage. He is my confidant and closest friend...In fact I'd rather spend time with Todd or the kids than with anyone else. Todd has the best job in the world, a firefighter.....ok it's dangerous, but sexy at the same time! Plus he has an unbeatable schedule that allows for tons of family time. I love to stay up late, cleaning, scrap-booking, reading, blogging....then wake up at 5:30 and run for a few hours. I work very part time for an Orthodontist and it's SO much fun! I also teach spin and wieght training classes at a local gym. I love to run marathons, completed my first Ironman in 2005 and find half ironmans much easier to squeeze into my schedule. My most fullfilling role as a mother is knowing that I am doing all I can to make lasting memories in the lives of my husband and children.

Thanks for not tagging me :) I am the exact same as you with number 1, 4 & 6. You're an outgoing extrovert, so if you love being alone as much as you do, I won't feel like I'm a loner for loving it as much as I do!
woopsie- not number 1- but number 2! Dirty undies- whatever!
I love that list, those are quirky things. It makes me feel good about our relationship to know that I already knew most of them. I also love that picture of Brody and the list of his day. President Monson's talk was really good. Also, the ward activity...hello!!! Poor Lady Di, I would not want to follow after you in that calling. And that is quite the flower on Scarlet's little girl's hair, but it works. Your outfits were darling, and cheap/free right?
I'm with you on the alone time too. Nothing better than being with someone who totally understands you.
Are there 6 people that follow my blog?
You and the girls and your germs. That makes me laugh. Tonight we went on a walk with Milly and Ryan was having her throw sticks and float little apples that were on the ground down this little ditch/stream. At the end he gave her the apple to eat!! You girls would never do that.
Those are all funny...I probably could have predicted most of them! I have some weird ones myself!
You are such a clone of your Dad with the exception of #3 & #5. I'm not allowed to comment on the underwear thing due to a court restraining order on the subject. Most of my exercise is solo although a highlight is bike and run with you. Otherwise, me and my thoughts (no headphones allowed).
