That is pretty good for being a camera! Jason learned how to blow bubbles on the computer. Like I said, weird kid!

I’ve Been Taged
I’m it.
Here are the rules:
THE RULES: Each player of this game starts with the ‘7 weird things about you.’ People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 7 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 7 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says ‘you are tagged’ in their comments and tell them to read your blog.
All of those who don’t have a blog, you lucked out that I can’t tag you!
1. I can’t have anything in or on my eyes, even water. In the shower I have a hook where I can hang my towel. After I get my face wet I always have to wipe my eyes.
2. Eyes again. When I close my eyes they flutter spastically. I don’t mean to, but they just move.
3. At night time my back has to be completely tucked in. I hate having any air on my back.
4. I liked to eat cat food when I was younger, the dry stuff. I would sneak it from my grandma’s cat bowl. It was salty, what can I say.
5. I have very distinct facial expressions when I eat something that I don’t like. Will gives me stuff just to see the reaction. I just can’t help it. I also make the same face when I am full and tried to get that last bit in my stomach. I end up spitting it out, even if it is the best thing in the world.
6. I still have same shirt from 7th grade and i wear it. Will hates it!
7. I got my licence when I was 18 and I still don’t like to drive. When I have to go some where I ask the other person to drive sometimes. Poor Steph, yes I know it was weird driving our car. I did drive the car back home again.
8. Yes I added an eighth. I have since corrected it but I nodded backwards to the beet. Every one would nod forward, but my head would be back. I think it might have been genetic, because Jason does it now. Poor kid got passed some weird genes.
Okay, now for the tagging part. I tag:
Kelly
Kristi
Troy and Tracie
New Camera
We went with a new camera instead of a camcorder. We went with a more expensive one, but that didn’t matter to us, because we still had gift certificates to Costco from Wills work party. From the few hours that I have been playing around with it, and yes I read the full user manual (nerd I know), I like it. The only down fall to the camera that I see is the compression on the videos that it takes. With the current card that I have in there (512 MB), it only takes 5 minutes and 30 seconds of video. I think we will have to end up buying a 2 GB card which takes 22 m 40 s of video.
Talking to Will now. “More money Will, yes I know, but it will be worth it. No we won’t get the card until I am positive that this is the camera that I want.”
Talking the the blog readers. Whisper- “This is the camera I want!”

Sweet Boy
Last night Will and I were out shopping for either a new camera that takes better video then what we have now, or a camcorder. We still have not decided what to do. On one hand it would be nice to have a better digital camera with a faster recovery time, but we want to be able to take better quality videos now that we have a DVD recorder. But it is all a mess because if we buy a camcorder, then we will have to buy a DVD player for the computer so I can put stuff on the blog. So on and so on.
In our family we don’t like to have wet open mouth baby kisses, so we give bonks (you know like in Finding Nemo). Anyways we were in the store and it was getting close to Jason’s bed time. He was really getting tired of shopping so I picked him up. He gave me a big hug, held my face a gave me a bonk, he rested his forehead up against mine for a minute or so. It was the sweetest thing in the world. These are the times that make me melt and I know that having Jason has all been worth it.

Walking
Jason is now into everything and walking everywhere. I am excited that he can now walk. What a fun kid.
Will and I now teach the 11-12 year olds at church and well Jason is very disruptive. We don’t mind so much during our lesson, but during sharing time it is embarrassing. I had enough, so I took him to nursery. He loved it. He is 4 1/2 months shy of being in there permanently. I can’t wait. I brought him in and off he went.
He is a lot smaller then the other kids, but he can take the beatings. Some kid (2 1/2 years) pegged him in the head with a nerf ball (how hard could it have really been?) and he didn’t even flinch. He just stared at the kid and went on playing. I will start taking him in there for the last hour of church and hopefully will be able to leave him in there alone in a month or two.
If I am in the kitchen, I know exactly where to find Jason.January 26, 2007
Parenting class
I decided that like many of you I was going stir crazy in the house, so I called up Steph and asked her if she would like to go to a PBS/BYU class held at our local grocery store. It was so nice to get out of the house with out the kids. Although I was on the phone with Mickie ordering cloths when she came, so I made Steph drive our car there. I am horrible at talking on a phone and driving at the same time, so I just don’t do it.
Art had to work, so Will graciously offered to watch the kids. It was great. Parker loved playing with Jason’s toys, Jason loved playing with Parker, and Brighton loved following them around. I think we will have to do it again. Plus the class gives you free children’s books (who doesn’t love a free book).
