Here are the facts

1-I hate cereal!!!! Hate it. It' s hard for me to even be in the same room when someone else is eating it because I can smell it and hear it.

2-When I had my long hair I never did it and it was so tangley from putting it in a messy bun when it was wet that occasionally it resembled dreadlocks. I cut it so I would style it more and I still never do. But I love it!

3-New clothes make me feel soooooo good. Especially shirts! I used to measure everything in how many shirts I could buy with that amount of money. It's even motivation to do my hair so that I won't ruin the new clothes by looking like trash.

4- I watch an unbelievable amount of Law and Order. Love it. And its on at all times on all channels.

5-I am obsessed with cheerleading! It occupies a lot of my thoughts. I think I would be so bored without being a part of that world. I love it and I think that I am good at it! Of course I am not the actual cheerleader anymore I am the coach or choreographer.

6- I hate running. I've tried it and I think its torture! If I were being chased by someone scary or if my kid was going toward danger then I would run. Nothing else is enough motivation to put myself through that.

7-I talk to my dad on the phone all of the time. If I ever have a question about anything I call and talk to him forever. Also if I am bored or he is bored we end up talking. It's great!!!

8- I really think that my husband is the hottest man alive! If I ever see a hot guy on TV or anywhere I think...... Yeah he's hot but Ben is hotter.

So those are my 8 facts. The only people on my friends list left to tag are Jenna and Stacy. So you two are it. No tag backs! 8 facts and then pass it on.

THE ZOO

Ben had a three day weekend, not this one but last one, because he was in the middle of a schedule change at work. It was one of the best weekends we've ever spent as a family! We got a lot of house work and grocery shopping done. And we spent a lot of time having fun all together. We got take out and ate it at the park for lunch on Saturday. Sunday is always great because we love our calling and it was a combined 3rd hour so we got to spend all of church together. And OH MAN does Jackson love nursery! And they love him. Monday we got up early and went to the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake. It was super fun! Ben took a lot of pictures so that he could draw the animals for his portfolio. Jackson is old enough that he knew and loved all of the animals. This zoo is great because all of the animals are so close. Before we left we bought Jackson some little plastic zoo animals from the gift shop and he LOVES them! They are his new favorite toys and they came in really handy at church this week.

My old, new hair. I cut off all of my hair a couple of months ago but these are the first pictures of it. Its almost time to get it redone and I can't decide if I want to go even shorter or just let it go through some fun growing stages.

Jacks Birthday!!!( May 24th)

Jackson opening presents on his 2nd birthday. We had been collecting presents for awhile. Every time we wanted to buy him something we would say it was for his birthday to justify it. We picked up a lot in Disneyland 2 months earlier. It was a great day! We went and saw Shrek the third. We buckle Jackson into his stroller and park in the wheel chair place and then pile him up with goodies. We've seen three movies that way and it is pretty succesful. A couple of days later we had cake with Chris and Mona and the kids.

Harry Potter

I didn't go to the midnight party not because I am not crazy but because I didn't have a babysitter. I am CRAZY! I LOVE HARRY POTTER! So the next morning Ben, Jackson and I got up early and went out to breakfast and then to Wal mart to get the book. There were a million and there was no line and it was cheap! The first day I read for 9 hours while Ben watched Jackson for me all day. I have a great husband! The next two days all I wanted to do was read but I had other things going on and had to squeeze Harry in wherever possible. It was hard stopping in certain places but I had no choice. So I finished the book on the third day and I LOVED IT! Maybe even the best of the whole series! I called my sister Kallie who I was sure would be done and she hadn't even started yet! What is that? In her defense she has three weeks left of school and a lot of projects due. But still. At first Ben didn't even want to know if I liked it because he thought it would give to much away. But I couldn't keep it in so at least he knows that much. Whenever he has a prediction about where he is at he reminds not to say anything and doesn't even want to look at my face. So I am going insane. I need to talk to someone about it. It was amazing and I have to keep it all in. JK is brilliant! I am sad that I am done. And even though I have read the first ones a ton of times, I will read Harry Potter until I am old and grey and can't read anymore. I told you I was crazy.
