We went and played at the pumpkin patch a few weekends ago. It was lots of fun.

Austin's Lost Teeth
Friday night while we were at the Temple, and the kids were at Grandma and Grandpa's Austin lost his front two bottom teeth. They had been loose for a little while, and one had already turned gray. Grandpa pulled that one out. Then Layla helped by kicking Austin in the mouth and the second one was easily pulled out too!
The Tooth Fairy came and left a whole dollar for each tooth! She is going to go broke if he looses too many at one time!
Just in general, it is kind of creepy when their teeth come out!
Weird and Random? Who me?
Six weird and random things about me:
The rules are:* Link to the person who tagged you * Post the rules on your blog * Write six random things/unspectacular quirks about yourself * Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them * Let each person you have tagged know by leaving a comment on their blog * Let the tagger know when your entry is posted Weird things about myself.... I know I am crazy!!
1. I have an abnormal fear of getting stabbed in the eye with a plastic straw. (Or maybe I just think it is abnormal, does everyone else have that fear too?)
2. I used to have warts all over my hands and my knees, circa 1987.
3. I hate going through drive-thrus. It is one of my least favorite things to do. Yelling into a little metal box, not my idea of fun! (Now that I have kids though, I seem to manage just fine.)
4. I would rather not eat than have to call a food order in. Can't order pizza, subs, chinese, etc
Who ever came up with on-line ordering was thinking of me!
5. I had a paper route when I was 10-11. I used to ride my bike and deliver news papers. (Actually, I am pretty sure it was my little brother's bike.) One day I somehow flipped off the front of the bike and into a drainage ditch. I was mortified! And muddy.
6. Sometimes when I go to work I feel like I am taking a break from my real job and it is nice. Then I get there and come back to reality!
Now it is your turn. Tell me your neuroses!

Random thoughts
I am sorry to all of my friends that my blog is so boring. I just don't really have time to post. Or anything super exciting to post about. I have just a couple things to share.
1. I went walking this morning. Walking, not jogging, running, galloping, or skipping, Walking. I haven't been very good about exercise lately (the whole too busy, lack of sleep thing. I know you are getting tired of hearing about it.) But I know that I feel better when I do it. So this morning I had Jason check the tire pressure in the jogging stroller, he topped all the tires off. The kids jumped in. I donned my exercise attire and we were off.....
Well, let me tell you. I have never attempted to exercise while pushing 75 pounds of children in a stroller where the front wheel doesn't turn. MAN THAT IS HARD. Plus the entire first mile of my walk in up hill. I was shocked at how out of shape I really am, or how hard it really is with that extra stroller in front of me.
I walked 2 miles (that is all!!) and was short of breath and sweating and dying. But I feel good.
Oh, and I ate a cookie for breakfast!
2. Ryan and Austin collided a few weeks ago. Last week we noticed that Ryan's two front teeth are gray. I researched on line and my friend asked her dentist. They are dead. My baby's teeth are dead!! GROSS!! They should be fine, it really isn't a big deal, but I feel like the worst mom in the world.
3. We had a little friend come over the other day and play for an hour or so. We watched about half an hour of sesame street and then the kids all ran outside and played. I did dishes, balanced the checkbook, updated the calendars. It was a good morning.
Well today I took my kids over to this friend's house and dropped them off. His mommy had a whole zoo set up and all these fun things to do. She is simply amazing. I feel like the worst playdate mom ever! She will probably never let her kids play with mine again. (Her initials are TR and she is a Bishop's wife!)
4. I have an amazing husband. Sometimes he drives me nuts (often). And sometimes he does incredible things, mostly simple things, that just mean the world to me.
One of the things that he does sometimes that reminds me of how much he loves me:
I drive his car to work, so when he gets home from school before he gets out of the car he puts my favorite CD in and sets it to play my favorite song, so when I get in the car to go to work my favorite song starts playing. It doesn't take him long, but it really makes my whole day better. Thank you husband!
