TAGGED!

Alright L7, I attached a post to this blog also because you all have to play the game, read below and see what you are supposed to do!

So I guess I've been tagged by a few people, Robin and Erin...Rules which must be posted on your blog if you are tagged: 1. Link to your tagger and post these rules. 2. Share 6 facts about yourself: some random - some weird. 3. Tag 6 people at the end of your post and list their names - link to them 4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs. (sorry Robin, I modified this to follow Erin's rules because they were easier :)

1. I have snuffalufagus eyelashes and cannot stand to be seen without curling them. My girlfriends have made fun of me for years because I had to curl them before we went river rafting in Jackson Hole!

2.One of my very favorite smells is clothing starch used for ironing clothes.

3. I am terrified of people dressed up in animal costumes. When I was 2 or 3, we went to Disney Land and Chip or Dale decided I needed a hug, so they pulled me in and held me way too long. It has stuck with me ever since.

4. Jared has informed me that right when I am about to fall asleep, I kick. The first time he discovered this was on the airplane to Egypt and I kicked the side of the plane by the window really loudly and everyone looked at me.

5. Unlike Robin, I love to do laundry. I feel like it is something tangible that I can complete and check off my list.

6. I constantly think of business ideas. I have been doing this for many years and am finally starting one with a college friend. It almost feels like a really big school project, I just have a lot more to lose!

I would like to TAG...1-Natalie, 2-Amelia, 3-Sandy, 4-Katie, 5-Kristen, 6-Angie, 7-Kelli Nicole, 8-Mom, 9-Kari(I did a few extra because I know that not everyone will do this, and I want to hear what everyone has to say!)

He's so cute, and I'm not "LION".

Tate's first Halloween. I can't believe he is 9 months old. He has started to have quite the little opinion about things. In fact, he gets so mad sometimes that he cries and holds his breath so long he passes out. Yep, you heard it, I have a fainter. He crawls all over the house and is starting to get into everything. It came a little to soon for me and I haven't quite baby-proofed everything yet, (which maybe explains why Tate took a nose dive out of his crib last month, OOPS). Can't wait to see what is around the next corner!! Love you all.

Tate Sandwich!

Owen, Tate and Avery in their fun Halloween costumes!

Owen is talking!

So, Owen has been talking TONS lately. He loves to name all the farm animals along with trucks and stuff. Two of his latest words are "booty" and "butt". He doesn't mean to say that, he is actually trying to say "movie" and "book." I am not sure why he is so off, normally he says words very clearly. People look at me funny whenever he says them.

Weekend Trip!

Richie and I decided to go to Arches national park this weekend.  It was a lot of fun, but we got caught up in a sandstorm Saturday afternoon.  Sound familiar?  Spring Break '98....oh the memories.  Here's a few pics from the weekend.

Quick Franny Update

Hey Girls, Franny is now four weeks old! Can you believe it? Time flies when you've got a tiny human permanently attatched toyour boob. We're having so much fun with our new little famlily. She is starting to coo at us and she now smiles at us (if she's fed and changed). Hello! How come no one told me how much newborns poop? It's seriously not even cool. Anyways, here are a few pics...

Here she is, bright-eyed after her first real bath at one week

My sweet princess

Dreaming about her future first taste of ice-cream

Hangin with mom

So sweet

BRUNETTE is the new BLONDE

So Ginnas shower was fun thanks for coming all. I got a little sick of paying $80 a pop for a haircolor so here is the newest Natalie haircolor. Hope you like it.

Stacy K. is in!

I have not taken any pictures of our little family in a while, but I thought having something posted was better than nothing. Thanks Nat for creating a blog for all of us to use! Great idea!

Franny finally came to us at 1:35 am on Friday morning. We had been at the hospital since 8:00 Thursday morning. Time went by fast, since ALL of my family was there. PARTY! The awesome part...I only had to push for 20 min. To see a few more pics, go to my family blog at spencerclan.blogspot.com

Here we are a few minutes after she was born. 7 lbs 5 oz, 19 in long.

Friday morning about 9:00. I'm still so swollen from the IV.

On our way home, Saturday morning.

My sweet little princess!

So you want pictures.....

Here are your pictures Amelia. Now I have officially made an entry!!! Nothing too exciting to tell you all about, but here are some New York pictures!!! That is all I had, and aparently I have to have pictures before it becomes a real entry. This is me and Brooke with our Yankee gear on, we are on our way to the Game and we had to stop at the knock-off sunglass stand!! And the other picture is of me an Trav walking through Central Park. By the way I looked all over for a "Central Perk" coffee shop, and guess what FRIENDS made it up!! There is not Gunther or anything!
Love ya- Katie #7

Our Little Lion

So I walked into Tate's room the other day where he was playing and this is what I got. Ahhhhh the joys of motherhood. I couldn't stop laughing (as you can hear on the video)

P.S. I'm retarded, spell check is right in front of my face.

9 Months pregnant

How on earth does Katie's post count as the "first post"? A post consists of a picture and or anecdote! Katie, you have so much to learn. BTW, Natty, if you're worried about spelling, you can always cut and paste your post from a word document, where it will have been spell checked. Brilliant!

This is what happens when you have two teen-aged sisters and some spare time on your hands.

And here's the close-up. Good thing I didn't go into labor this night. My midwife thought it was funny and Chiq flippin made me show everyone! That wasn't necessary.

WOOOOOHOOO

Okay Nat.... I was first what do I win!!!!!! I am not to sure about this, maybe Amelia can give us alesson or two.

Gotta run. I will try again soon.

Lucky 7 Blog

Okay Girls:

I know this is going to be a big stretch especially for me. Not only because there is no spell check that I can find yet, so I am self concious, but I have a very had time keeping focused on something for long ( I know you guys are totally shocked, but it's true). I thought we needed to start a blog that we all can post updates, pictures, and of course Angie's infamous "old stories". Hopefully soon Amelia will have some baby news and pictures to post and maybe Angie about some upcoming nuptual news (see I totally spelled that wrong). I need FULL comittment from you guys to all be really pumped about this and to just shut-up and do it...kinda like when I decided to start rain-dancers (and we all know that turned out to be a good idea). So I will leave the rest up to you all and I hope to see some posts ASAP. There will be a BIG suprise for the person who makes the first post. Love you all, have fun, and as Prince says, "let go CRAZY."

Love, Natty #3
