Little Diddy about me

I always feel like I need to have a picture to go with my post and since I haven't unloaded them off the camera, I haven't posted anything. I got tagged instead... sorry there's no pictures :)

5 THINGS...

10 years ago:
1. I had just asked someone to my first school dance with Kay and Ang. We spent almost $30 buying all this stuff to ask the guy in a cute way and as a response I got slime in a bucket. Thanks again Aaron.
2. I was driving 1/2 hour to work at a Subway, funny huh?
3. Gas was only $1 per gallon, which is why I could afford to drive that far to work. I could fill my car with a $20 and still get change!
4. I was thrilled to drive a turquoise Toyota Carolla instead of the family Van.
5. I was a typical 16 year old boy crazy girl... stupidly embarrassing to think back 10 years ago.

5 Years ago:
1. I had been married for 2 1/2 years. One of those 19 year old Utah brides :)
2. My first baby Caden was 1 1/2 years old! We wanted to wait 5 years to have kids... 8 months after we were married, I was pregnant!
3. I still had to work at America First. We were so poor! Luckily enough, by the time I had Trey, I was able to quit for good!
4. We were still trying to put in our yard a year and a half after we moved in. Never thought it would cost so much and still isn't anything to look at.
5. We dressed Caden like Eeyore for Halloween. My mom bought the cutest little costume for him!

5 things on today's "to do" list:
1. clean house
2. give the boys hair cuts.
3. clean house again cause it's already messy.
4. make soup for a ward Halloween party.
5. give up cleaning the house! My boys win again.

5 snacks I enjoy:
1. Chips and Salsa
2. Popcorn. The yummy, greasy horrible-for-you, movie theater kind.
3. Cheese Ball and Crackers
4. Graham crackers and yogurt. Together they taste almost pie-like!
5. Chocolate, even though it really falls into the treat category... I sure don't treat it that way.

5 things I would do if I were a millionaire:
1. Pay off bills.
2. College/missionary/wedding funds for the kiddos.
3. Live at Disneyland :) Not really, just vacation there often!
4. Buy things unexpectedly for people, like dinner for strangers at the table across from you or the person standing in back of you at the register. How fun would that be?
5. Donate.

5 jobs I have had:
1. America First CU - Customer Service
2. Toys R Us - Cashier then moved up to the Service Desk
3. Lagoon - Vault Cash person (I can't remember the name!)
4. Subway - Sandwich Artist. Cody still says I make the best sandwiches ever.
5. Assembling bubble gum machine parts from home. Best job, thanks Bri!

I,I,I,I...

I have... 3 little boys full of energy!
I fear... change.
I always... brush my teeth. I can be almost asleep and HAVE to get up to brush... drives Cody nuts, huh Babe?
I feel... underqualified for this motherhood job... who knew it would be this demanding!
I hear... the wonderful sound of silence. All the kiddos are sleeping (including my sick hubby, which is why I'm not in there with him. I can't afford to get sick!)
I smell... my shampoo. I got to take an uninterrupted shower! That doesn't happen often!
I wish... My baby would eat normally.
I hate... being tickled. Horrible memories of being tickle tormented growing up.
I wonder... What my cute kids will look like when they are adults!
I regret... past actions.
I love... my family. I never knew I could love so many people so much.
I am...
endlessly amazed at my children.
I think... Sound of Music is the best movie of all time.
I know.... Babies don't stay babies for long. Enjoy the quietness of those long naps!
I always... have to be doing something. Even if I'm watching TV, I usually am doing something else while watching.
I am not... paranoid. I don't get scared by being alone. I don't think anybody's after me. I guess in today's world, I should be more so though.
I am like... a child when I go to Disneyland. It has and always will be my favorite vacation spot and seems like I've passed on the love to my kids!
I believe... In miracles. They've happened so much in my life.
I don't always... Or hardly ever make my bed. Although I love bedspreads... go figure.
I am happy that... my Mom had 6 children. It gives me 5 other people that HAVE to be my friends, listen to me and love me no matter what!
I win... Arguments, or at least Cody is smart enough to make me think I do!
I lose... on 'are you smarter than a 5th grader?' I feel so stupid when I can't even answer the 2nd grade questions.
I never... Throw up. People tell me it makes you feel better but it terrifies me.
I need... My hubby more than he realizes. Everyday I can't wait until he gets home from work!
I listen... intently to Trey talk, he is SO hard to understand. Most of the time Caden has to translate for me. Cute boys!
I am scared of... being scared. I hate haunted houses, scary movies, being chased - anything that causes me to be more scared.
I read... when I can sneak it in, which is usually never! I honestly love to read though.
I tag... Anyone and everyone!

I am so much like you! I also think the Sound of Music is the greatest movie ever, I also never make my bed, I also never get paranoid about anything (I frequently forget to lock the door at night and I always go running by myself in the dark), and I also HATE being tickled. Funny, funny.
