Tagged

Thanks Chrysta for the tag, I didn't know guys were supposed to do this kind of thing. I have seen many versions of being tagged, so I am assuming, from your blog, I need to write down three things in each of the areas. I am not claiming that this will be anything entertaining or shed some light onto my weird self, but here you go.

Joys
1. Coming home from a long day at work and having a bowl of vanilla ice cream with the family. I get to have two of my favorite things: family and ice cream. I love ice cream! My favorite is home made, but it is a rare occasion that that happens.
2. A day with no projects. Brooke likes to keep me busy with projects. You can always here her say, "I have an idea" or "I want you to do something." Usually they are good ideas and turn out for the best, but once in a while it is nice to do nothing but be with the family and enjoy.
3. Sitting for 4 or 5 yours on my bike. Love it! Road today with my dad on my favorite bike ride, Wolfe Creek. It is absolutely beautiful out here in Oregon, and I get to see it while peddling my bike.

Fears
1. Avery turning into a teenager! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
2. After number 1 there is nothing else to fear.
3. Well, maybe when Avery turns 16 and starts dating. I am doomed.

Goals
1. Not to eat off others plates. I am always finishing the fam's food. It is a bad habit and always getting me in trouble.
2. To post a comment on Margaret's blog. She is always posting on ours and I feel bad that I never post on hers (sorry Margaret I will try to do better).
3. Win a crit. I won two cyclocross races last year, but never won a crit. I took second 6 times.

Current Obsessions (Me obsessed?)
1. My bike.
2. My other bike.
3. My other, other bike.

Random Facts About Me
1. I hate broccoli, but eat it because I know it is good for me. And I know that Liam and Avery are watching me. Avery has become the broccoli police.
2. Once someone asked how I got the big scar on my head and I told them I got in a fight and was hit in the head with a bat.
3. I made a DIGITAL scrapbook page for my mom's birthday. I will never do that again. My mom is hard to buy for and she is the most talented scrapbooker, so I decided to make her a page on Photoshop. Like I said I will never do that again. I have yet to see the fun in that.

Hope that met everyones expecations. I guess I am supposed to tag someone else? I don't think any of my guy friends would actually do it, so actually going to tell Jill she needs to do it. Have at it.

Tagged?


Chrysta, I guess I am a little lame with this, but don't know what that means to be "tagged." I have seen them a couple different ones, so I don't know what I am supposed to do.

Avery's track meet



Following in her mother's footsteps, literally, is what Avery is doing. Avery joined the track and field team at her school. Whenever I see Avery run I am reminded of all those years of watching Brooke compete at WSU. Avery looks just the same: skinny long legs, determined face, and loving to talk with everyone of her friends. I think we have reincarnated Brooke. Avery did very well in her first track meet, winning her heat in the 100 m and winning the long jump (Avery said around 10 feet). We are proud of her.
