Jake sticks his finger in my mouth when I yawn, too! Well, he used to. I bit down once and he's not so keen on the activity anymore. =)

Amanda Stephan said...

I'm a chapstick frreak too!! Rob makes fun of me because they are everywhere! ha ha! That was fun to learn so much about you!

Castle Family said...

I used to listen to TOOL! They were my favorite. I didn't realize how young your were ;)

Courtney said...

You are cute...I liked reading this post. I think my favorite part is how many times you said how great Darin is. You guys are cute together!

megan said...

i am in a book club with my sisters and some awesome women from my old ward you should join us and then you would have a new book to read every month.

Erin said...

How fun! I feel like I learned so much about you. We have a lot of similarities. I'm glad you're married to Darin too. You are a very cute couple!

Brooke and Brett Martin said...

THAT WAS FREAKIN AWESOME!!! YOU ENTERTAIN ME SO MUCH. But I honestly can say that there aren't many people who's blogs I would take the time to read 100 things about them. But the reason I love reading your stuff, your stories, your life is because you honestly don't even KNOW how to sugar coat anything. YOU ARE THAT REAL OF A PERSON AND THAT IS WHY YOU ARE ONE OF MY GREATEST FRIENDS!!! LOVE YOU!

Amanda said...

58. I like to host parties or get togethers....Hmmm, I could use that one!!. :) That was fun, I'm an email person too. We have a lot in common, we should email more and maybe even hang out sometime.

Shelley Goodman said...

It was fun seeing you last night! Glad that Casen is sleeping good for you too. Oh and I love your tag...wow how long did it take you to do that?! You really get to know people better through these blogs!
p.s.- I am having a jewelry party march 1st. If you would like to come send me your address! I invited all the ward girlies so it will be fun.

TJ and Jen Sherwood said...

I don't even want to know how long that took you to do! It was so fun to see you. You need to come visit more often!!

Kami said...

umm Tim does the same thing when I yawn and I hate it. He does it to Anderson too. Tim just went a few years ago to see Tool. He LOVES them, and they have grown on me quite a bit. At least I don't listen to them when Anderson's in the car?! That is a start right??

Karen said...

Mary wow!...I still like calling you that ;) That must have taken you forever to write! That was fun...my fav color is green too :) And I still like the old music. You are so funny and cool.

CDR said...

Those are always fun to read. I always give drivers who are ticked at me a thumbs up, and then they really get mad. I can't say I blame them, I am a really really bad driver. I have no depth perception.

CHRISTINE said...

Wow! I don't ever have to talk to you or see you because now I know everything about you! That was great! Hope things are going well with Casen. What a cutie!

The Welker Family said...

I haven't checked your blog for quite a while. Congrats on the absolutely adorable baby! He is soooo cute! I love his hair. I wish my girls had that much hair when they were born, I could have had some fun with that!
