I love the 3's: Part Deux

Just finishing the addons of the 3's:

3 cars I've owned: Mercury Topaz, Pontiac Grand Am, Dodge Durango

3 of my happiest moments: Givens: wedding and births, watching my children's accomplishments, Elizabeth emailing me

3 of my most embarrassing moments: Yet another dress in pantyhose story---stake seminary meeting, walked right past the guy I liked, and he said, " I bet you feel this small right now" ugh!, Breaking a lamp on our honeymoon and having to admit it upon checkout, the first time I went skiing, a 4 yr old skiied past me while I was on the ground, and asked if I needed help.

3 things I want to do before I die: Finish our scrapbooks! Watch my children make righteous choices, and worry less.

3 jobs I wanted to have when I was younger: doctor, psychologist, Walmart cashier--go figure.

3 sports I like to watch on TV: hmmm, none

3 sports I like to attend: Volleyball--indoors!, Football for comradery not the sport, Baseball

3 random facts: I don't swim. I do plan and organize. I wish I could play the piano. (I've tried, but sometimes it's just not in the cards.)

Elizabeth said...: Sounds like you guys are doing well.
I actually am in Orem.
I tell people that I'm in Provo usually because hardly anyone I've talked to has ever heard of it.

Quotable Quips and Laughable Life

I decided that I wanted to add a small section with little things that my kids have said or done over the years that I never want to forget and I think are worth sharing. Unfortunately I was much better at writing these things down a bit late in the game....Chelsie steals the show here a bit. If only I could remember all those things I thought I'd never forget. I hope you take my challenge to write down all those things you hope to pass on one day.

When Chelsie was about 2 she had been jumping on my brand new couch, so I promptly told her to stop jumping on the nice furniture. Her response was very logical. "Then where's the mean furniture?"

While camping in the Sequoias, the entrance sign read, "1 bear incident this week...." Kelly mispronounced it as 1 bear accident....later in the bathroom, Chelsie noticed wet spots on the floor, and announced, "This must be where the bear had the accident."

We had a family home evening on choosing the right, and we thought Chelsie understood but when we asked her she said, "Yes, don't choose the left!"

When Kelly was in the 5th grade, she needed to use the classroom phone to call me. She dialed 9 to get an outside line, then she had to dial 1 because I have a long distance cell phone number, but she accidently hit the 1 twice. When the 911 dispatcher answered she was scared and just hung up. 5 minutes later the front office called the classroom stating that 3 sheriffs had arrived ready to take action and were wanting to know who called and why. Now it was by sheer coincidence that this was a morning that there was a prison breakout, so officers were on high alert. Kelly was embarrassed then, but can laugh about it now!

When Wes was about 4, he used to tell everyone that he was going to marry his friend Elizabeth, and that they were going to have 16 kids, and maybe a car.

When Chelsie was 3 1/2 we told her she needed to learn to spell her name. She responded, "I already know....A L I Z A."
(That was her best friend who taught her)

I was talking with my girls about the weather, and Kelly said, that stupid beaver was wrong, spring is not around the corner. Chelsie then chimed in, it's not a beaver, it's a warthog. Clearly I have failed them.
