i've been tagged....it seems...

i received this game of "blogger tag" from cyberspace and the deal is, you fill out the answers and tag a fellow blogger. IF you read this, you are to copy it into your blog and answer the questions...then tag a fellow blogger and pass along the quiz!

1. Where is your cell phone? plugged into the wall next to my bed, receiving 'nourishment'
2. Where is your significant other? uh, currently sleeping...
3. Your hair color? brown...many a funky color in my distant past :)
4. Your mother? rebecca or anne (pronounced 'ah-nay') as she is so lovingly called on this blog and by her grands!
5. Your father? bill (or actually, billie--but not everyone knows that!) or granddad
6. Your favorite thing? my family
7. Your dream last night? ha--actually, i remember telling a friend of mine how well my new dove clinical strength antiperspirant works...yeah, someone decipher that one!
8. Your dream/goal? why those are two very different things!
dream: learn to 'flip' some houses and have Jeremy be excited to do it with me! goal: become a little bit more like Christ everyday...

10. Your hobby? what is that?? i have let my creativity go by the wayside, but i am trying to get back on that horse! photographing my family, word jumbles, antiquing furniture (will soon let you know how that goes!), baking...would REALLY like to be able to put knitting here!
11. Your fear? germs (specifically the ones that cause vomit, right mere!?), letting life pass me by...
12. Where do you want to be in six years? well, what i do now of course :) but, i guess since my baby will be SEVEN at that point, i would probably want to work some at a job i really like (what that is--uh, don't know but will keep you posted!)
13. Where were you last night? home--with the kiddos and the hubby enjoying the end of a busy week--
14. What you’re not? pregnant, a great chef, liberal, a seasoned dietitian (but, i got the RD and that counts for something...?), a perfect ANYTHING--thank goodness, I am a work in progress and the Lord promises to finish what He began!
15. One of your wish list items? a new wardrobe since i have now birthed TWO babes since truly buying anything nice for myself clothing-wise!! seriously, this is a SAD situation...you may not want to be seen with me in public!

Monkey Bars. Swings. Slides. Other Acrobatics...



Well, here are some pictures posted mostly for my sweet Dad, who mentioned he was checking the blog---looking for new photos of his dear grandchildren. We can't wait to see Granddad and Anne this weekend!

**the outside shots were taken with a dirty camera lens. unfortunate, i know.

my very best girl...

"mAd" ABouT PotTy tiMe!

is this a face of contentment?? i don't think so...

going potty... it's tough. for most kids anyway. maddie being one of them.

motivational potty use

if only madden were actually excited about using la toilette. not so much. she did enjoy the candy corn treat she received for using it the other day, but has that happened again?? no...she really doesn't want to do much if it isn't her idea...i just don't understand where she gets her stubbornness from at all ;) so, we have spent many many of the past several days in clean up mode from all the accidents. at least we have yet to have our flooring replaced, so i don't have to worry about 'new' carpet stains...

seriously thinking of shipping her off to potty boot camp!!

more ugly looks...
