Random Fact Friday...

There are things in life that can stand in our way, and prevent us from doing other things that perhaps we do want to do. Now there aren't many things I truly hate to do in this world, but public speaking, cleaning the bathroom, sleeping in a tent, and laundry could very well be on the list... while there really isn't anything I enjoy about public speaking or sleeping in a tent, I do like to use a clean restroom and wear clean clothes.

So now I give you a picture... what about this picture do you think could be on the list of things I hate? I know this is a vague question, but take a guess!

The adventures of picking...

We went strawberry picking yesterday... it was really fun. The strawberries are divine. I think we will probably go again because we have eaten half of our 6 lbs of strawberries. We are having waffles with strawberries and fresh whipped cream tonight for dinner. I love fresh whipped cream. LOVE. IT. Anyway, here are the cutest kids in the whole world... please notice that Kate is on her tip toes. She is my favorite little girl ever.

The kids going at the berries...

It was really nice out, Kate was getting a little sweaty...

Then after our strawberry donuts, Kate decided to take up extreme strawberry wall climbing...

She has another new picking talent...

This was her response to me taking the picture...

"Oh mom, I am so embarrassed that you took that picture!"

I love my kids! We definitely have our moments, but I think that are awesome (90% of the time)! We are going to have a hot one today, so we will be running the A/C full force, and probably be going to the pool! Stay cool!

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

Way to go friends. Cory and I met on a chairlift. We were both instructors and there were no lessons so we all went out for a run and Cory and I ended up on the lift together. It went so well that he offered me a ride home where he then threatened to drive my side of the car into a telephone pole. Things were going well, it turned out that he had chemistry right after me with the same teacher, so we "studied" together and then went skiing at night. I passed the class, Cory repeated it. Ha ha. Anyway, there you have it. Good job.

Random Fact Friday...

I eat my words... a lot. Everytime I say I definitely am/am not going to do something, the opposite usually happens. For example... after Cory's internship in New York, we decided that in the future, we would keep ourselves west of the Mississippi, unless the $$ was good. Well, I now live like 2 miles east of the Mississippi (nice huh?)and let's just say our names are on the bottom of the checks, not in the recipient line. Also, when I was younger, I said I would never get married... well, that obviously happened, and I have 2 kids to show for it. So you would think that I would learn my lesson about putting something definite on myself, but I haven't. Oh well. I guess my opinions are firm, until they change. Such is life right?

So for my random question...

Do you know where I was when I met my husband?

Once upon a time...

Tanner gave himself a haircut...
Well, Cory let him do it again.

Then he helped him finish it up.
It'll be great for summer...whenever it feels like showing up.

You know me so well...

While chalk was a very close guess, my medium was watercolor.

As for my majors, it all started in biology, then I went to interior design, then I went to architecture, then back to biology, then I had Tanner and art was the nearest thing I had to graduation. I had been taking art classes the whole time, so it wrapped up into a nice little package. I have clusters (a mini minor...I don't know who made that up, but whatever) in chemistry, family science, and architecture. Nice huh? Jack of all trade, master of none. Oh well, I think I mentioned I have a short attention span.

As for where my paintings are hanging... you are right about my parents, and my grandparents. But my in-laws do not, and I do not. My teacher is the third, she has one in her studio.

So, how exciting. Enjoy your Monday, and thanks for stopping by!

Random Fact Friday...

I went to college. I finished college. I had many majors in college. What can I say, I had many interests. In the end I graduated with a degree in art. I quite enjoy creating things, and designing things, and building things. It works out for me to just make the whole thing up considering I don't have the attention span to read directions. Embrace who you are and run with it... that's my motto. So today's question might be easy for some of you.

What was my main medium in school?

Bonus question... Can you guess 2 of my other majors? (Hint: There were 4 total)

Bonus question #2... There are only 3 people in the whole world that have my art hanging up. (pathetic, I know) Do you know who?
