An animal you'd love to keep as a pet:
Hmmmm, well, I really loved my kitties I had in Newton. They were great at keeping the mice away :) and it was fun to watch my kids chase them around. Someday, maybe we can have another one or two of them.
I'd really like to have a dog, but I have no idea what kind. Hopefully when we have our own house we will be able to get one. We'll see though, Jeff and I have very different opinions about having pets...so who knows who will give in first ;)

Easter and other shenanigans
We had a lot of fun Easter weekend! We had a BBQ and egg hunt with some other families in our ward and had a great time! I guess I was too busy having fun to take many pictures :)
Funny pictures of the girl. How she eats spaghetti, and how I found her sleeping last night! Silly girl :)
We have finally been having a bit of sunshine around here! We've been trying to take advantage of it. Don't you love Kaleb's one lensed glasses?! He got new ones from the Easter bunny :)
A couple weeks ago for FHE we went geocaching. I had a lot of fun, but I don't think the others enjoyed it quite as much. The kids were getting tired, and it started to rain after we had only done a couple. I can't wait to go again!
Another Monday evening we went to Hands On. We let the kids choose and paint their animals/statues. Kaleb chose a horse and Jenna chose a little elephant. They had fun painting, and as you can see, Jeff was thoroughly enjoying himself :)
Then we stopped by the good ol' golden arches for some ice cream!
Lately Kaleb is always wanting me to take his/their picture. This is what we ended up with the last go around, aren't we pretty?!
The kids decided to get a long and share their pudding, they were mixing it together and having all sorts of fun. I'm sure not near as much fun as I had cleaning it up though ;)

Day 5
My parents:
Since I don't seem to have a recent picture of them together, this is what I'm going with :)
As pretty much seems to happen with every person, I sure appreciate my parents a lot more since I have had my own kids! :) They have always done so much for me, and continue to always be there for me/us.
I miss going to work every day with my mom, not that I miss working, but I got to see my mom everyday. We would go get breakfast together, have lunch together, when I wasn't busy and was bored I'd go bug her in her office....I really enjoyed it! I miss helping my dad with his cabinets also. I used to always help sand, put together, move and clean a lot of his cabinets, and I really enjoyed it. I was able to take his class when I was pregnant with Kaleb and make my own crib. Good thing him and my brother could help me finish it since I didn't get it done before Kaleb was born :) I haven't really been able to help with a lot of jobs since having kids, they like to help too, but it doesn't usually work out the greatest :)
I really do love to hang out with my parents. When Jeff and I were "dating" (if you could even call it that) we would go over to my parents house and play games a lot. I still love go and play games, watch movies, go to or cook dinner with them. We have a lot of fun. We don't get to do it as often now that we live farther away, it always seems like we are running everywhere when we go visit, and don't always get time to play. Last time we were down we stayed up until about 2 in the morning playing games and laughing, it was a ton of fun. Hopefully we can do it again when we go down next weekend. I am really looking forward to it!
We love you mom and dad, thanks for all you do!!

Technical difficulties
I apologize for the delay...I'm sure you are just devastated ;) For some reason blogger won't let me upload pictures or anything...again. The 30 days will continue once it does!

Day 4
A dream:
I really want to run a marathon. I've always wanted to, and lately I've been thinking more and more about it. I figured now would be as good a time as any, if I could just get over this sickness. Seriously, going on 6 weeks now. Six! It is time for it to go away so I can get back to exercising!!
Being able to create and capture things that people love. *sigh* Someday. When we're rich and famous..... That's why they're called dreams, right?!

Day 3
Pet Peeves:
Hmmmmm..... well the usual I suppose:
-Noisy eaters. you know.
-Bad drivers (because I of course drive perfectly).
-Leaving the toilet seat up. I've got Jeff pretty well trained, now I just need to get it into Kaleb's head.
-The sheets getting untucked from the bottom of the bed, they have to be perfect, or I can't sleep.
-When Jeff sleeps on top of the covers. Then when they come off of me I can't get them out from under him to cover back up!
-Leaving the cupboard doors open. I am always saying to Jeff "were you raised in a barn?!" Oh. wait....
-My children wiping their noses/faces on my pants. They think it is hilarious, as does Jeff. Today Kaleb wiped his snot in my hair. Awesome.
-Being ignored. Jeff has this one down pat and has trained his children well.
-People wearing white socks to church. you just don't do it.
-Lately when I go anywhere Jeff asks me how long I am going to be. Not really a big deal, but for some reason it drives me nuts!
-When we are driving in the car and I am talking and Jeff turns the radio up.
-Receiving important information via facebook. Seriously?! Pick up the phone and call!!!!
That's all that I can think of for now. Actually, I came up with the first two and Jeff told me most of the others :) I am noticing that most of them have to do with my family, and while I love them dearly, I need to get out more!

Day 2
Favorite movie:
I don't think I could choose just one favorite movie. I love to see movies, these are a few that come to mind right off.
Most of these I can recite right along as they play. My dad likes to watch Serendipity with me because there are parts in it I start to laugh just because I know what is coming :) I cry every time I watch 3 of them, every time. I'm sure I could list a lot more that I love, that I could watch over and over, but we'll just go with these for now!

What the hay....
I need a hobby. Well, a hobby that doesn't cost money...any ideas? Because I get bored sometimes, I decided to join in the 30 day blog challenge- try to hold back your excitement :)

I think this was in January, courtesy of Kaleb
Not sure how interesting the are, but here ya go:
-I am not a morning person, never have been, never will be.
