AWARDS

Mechelle gifted me this fun award! I love awards! She takes some of the most amazing portraits and will capture the essence of your family! Please check her blog out and book a session with her. She lives in AZ but she is willing to travel too!
The rules are simple for this award! Post 7 things that you love and 7 blogs! Tres easy!



Seven Things I love!
1. I love the beach. I love the smell of the ocean and the breeze off of the water and to sink my toes deep into the warm sand until the coolness from the sand below meet the tip of my toes.
2. I love to go camping! I love to be one with nature! To inhale until my lungs can take in no more. I love to have a campfire and roast marshmellows and just enjoy each others company with no electronics!
3. I love to watch my children sleep and Mr. Incredible sleep. I love to watch their chests move up and down rhythmically and to see their faces so peaceful.
4. I love to laugh and have fun and joke around.
5. I love that my dog adores me! He is so needy and insecure. He makes me laugh because he is HUGE and he's really just a puppy!
6. I love seeing the world through each one of my children's eyes. Seeing and hearing their perspective on things. I love the beings they are becoming.
7. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. I would be remiss and ungrateful if I didn't list this. Because of the gospel. I have everything. My thoughts choices and decisions are directly because of my beliefs and knowledge that I know who my savior is. I love the plan of salvation! It is offered to everyone who will accept.
8. I love how when the going gets tough, WE get going! My family is amazing!
Did you notice how I added another LOVE, because I tend to break rules.

MEME

I received this award from Alicia! All I have to do is post 10 HONEST things about me. I really enjoy Alicia and her blog! She is a fresh! Love her. Check her out!


1.If you ask me how you look, I can never give you my HONEST answer! I'll say, well if you like it or It's not my style, then you know it's not good.

2. I apologize for things even if it's not my fault I say I'm sorry for everything.

3. EXCEPT! I can't say I'm sorry when IT IS MY FAULT! it pangs my soul and destroys me.

4. My personality is 50%RED and 50%BLUE, this means ( I like to be in charge and bossy but I feel guilty about it) TRUE!

5. I am honestly and deeply in love with myself! My blog is my most favorite blog to read! I find myself quite humorous.

6. I LOVE my family something fierce they are more important to me than life itself.

7. I honestly LIKE to lie about my AGE! I guess, I'm not so honest, huh?

8.I am very competitive.

9.I am basically good at EVERYTHING I try or attempt to do. (did I mention, I'm humble to?? (seriously, If I want to do it, I can)

10. I suffer from failure to launch. I'm not afraid to FAIL, I'm afraid to succeed.

I received this from Wendyburd. Truly you have to list 25 of your favorite movies but she listed 50! because she's awesome and that's how she rolls. Her posts are always thought provoking and passionate about what she likes and doesn't like! Go read her. She is great!
Me?? Once, I watch a movie I can't watch it again. Because it wasn't that great. So, these are the top 25 movies that I could watch over and over and not tire.

1. Blast from the Past. Alicia Silverstone and Brandon Frasier. I love everything about this movie. I could watch it over and over again.
2. Savanah Smiles- It is a movie from way back in da day and I adore this movie.
3. Raising Helen. Yep, I like Kate Hudson in this. She is this single carefree woman, life is all about me and her sister dies and she is the one chosen to bring her neices and nephew up. I would do the same as her sister. I would choose someone just like me to raise my children. EEK, there is NOBODY just like me!
4.Sweet Home Alabama- Gotta give it up for Reese Witherspoon. She is just so dang cute and of course, its a chick flick! But, even Mr. Incredible likes this.
5. I am Legend - Stars Will Smith. This movie really had me thinking and scared.
6. Sixth Sense - I loved this movie with Bruce Willis because I didn't expect the ending. I liked all the subtle clues of the use of the color red. Good movie.
7. Love Come Softly - I enjoy the entire series.
8. Hitch - Love Will Smith in this again. Definitely watch over and over.
9. A Walk in the Clouds - Keanu Reeves. I loved this movie. A young service man returns home from war to a woman he married just before leaving found out they had nothing in common met a wealthy spanish girl and the romance begins. LOVED IT.
10. GREASE! - C'mon who doesn't like this movie. The young John Travolta with Olivia Newton John.
11. MICHAEL- Again, John Travolta is a fallen angel.
12. CLUELESS- Yes, I like Alicia Silverstone. I am a product of the 80's like TOTALLY!
13. How to lose a guy in 10 days- Another Kate Hudson movie with my boy Matt! She is a writer for a magazine and she does everything to hook a guy for the first night and then will do almost anything to get him to break up with her. It is a comedy and romance and my type of movie! I love it!
14. CHARLIE- yes, it is a church movie but I love it and break out the tissues.
15. You've Got Mail - Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. A man is a widower and his son calls into a radio station wishing that his dad could be happy and date someone.
16. SPLASH, BIG, - Tom Hanks stars in both movies. Splash is about a him and a mermaid into the city and BIG is about where this 13 year old boy makes a wish on a carnival gypsy fortune teller and he becomes this adult and is thrown into the executive world.
17. Thirteen Going on 30- Jennifer Garner she is 13 and she makes a wish and she finds herself as a grown woman. Kind of like Big, but I like this one a bit better.
18. Second Hand Lions- This is an awesome movie! A great movie for the entire family. I can watch this over and over.
19. Days of Thunder- Yeah, I like the passion of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.
20. TOP GUN! come on who doesn't take the remote and SLOW MO the volley ball scene??
TOM CRUISE: FAR AND AWAY, one of my favorites. He is an Irishman.A few Good Men, Mission Impossible, COCKTAIL
(oops, maybe I should have left that part out, but AHHH, muscles, sweat and sand! help me, PLEASE PRAY FOR ME)
21. JULIA ROBERTS- I used to ADORE her, now not so much but I still enjoy many of her movies. STEEL MAGNOLIAS! - Hello, just a good ol' southern movie! Adore WEEZER!
22. Dying Young, Sleeping with the Enemy, Pretty Woman, FLATLINERS, Step Mom, Pelican Brief, My BestFriend's Wedding, Mona Lisa's Smile, OCEAN's ELEVEN
23. REESE WITHERSPOON- Legally Blonde, Walk the LINE, Just like HEAVEN
24.DWAYNE JOHNSON! -Ok, this man is a gorgeous hunk of muscle! ::swoons:: I could watch him all day and he doesn't have to say a word! Here's his movies
25. SCORPION KING, THE RUN DOWN,GRIDIRON,WALKING TALL, THE MUMMY RETURNS, GAME Plan!


I'm done and it wasn't that hard! If you grab anyone of these leave a comment and let me know so I can go read your honest answers and tastes in movies!

TAG TAG TAG!

I have been tagged by Marriane! This is a fun tag because it's a no brainer. All you have to do is go to your pictures and open the 6th folder and show the 6th picture. I can do that! Here it is.

Look how young and how sweet! This was a big end of year for us! Dash, my baby had just graduated pre school and would embark on Kindergarten, Beauty, graduated from the 5th grade and would start her first year in Middle School. Warrior would start High School as a Freshman. What a year! Sweetheart was feeling a bit left out so I made her a hair bouquet and she was happy! Time goes so fast.
I have been tagged by Wonder Woman and Melinda.

I have to list 7 QUIRKS or random things about myself! Lawdy mercy, how can I just narrow it down to SEVEN! I have so many!

1. I don't like to be lightly brushed against or have my arms or body caressed. I hate that gentle touch. It totally bugs! If by chance someone brushes up against me and makes skin contact. I have to rub the feeling off.
2. When I sign my given name I have to put an exclamation point at the end, every time.
3. I do not let my lips wrap around a spoon. My spoon will never be clean.
4. The kitchen has to be CLEAN before I can cook or bake.
5. Unfolded clothes bug me in a store. Sometimes, I will refold shirts in a department store.
6. I can't drink straight from a cup at a restaurant. I need a straw.
7. If someone tells me I won't like a person, or speaks negative about a person I instantly make up my mind that I WILL LIKE that person. I automatically turn a deaf ear when people try to taint my opinion. I like to decide on my own and I like for each person to make or break their reputation by their dealings with me.

I am choosing not to tag anyone. I don't always follow rules. I look at rules as guidelines. NO, never means NO unless you have exhausted all other options. No, can always be over turned.

Normal??

You Are 45% Normal

While some of your behavior is quite normal...
Other things you do are downright strange
You've got a little of your freak going on
But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself


How Normal Are You? ummmm... yeah! I told ya I was different!
(is it the OCD, ADD, type A personality??)
You've got a little of your freak going on (Yeah baby, that's why Mr. Incredible is still wit me, but shhhhhhhh don't tell)
But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself (probably not so much as I should)
Ok, so take the QUIZ and let me see what your scores are. Oh, I ranged from 55% to 45% normal. I took the quiz twice and gave you the lower score. I didn't want any FALSE pretenses going on!
How Normal Are You?

ME ME ME

The Good, Bad and the Ugly!

I need to premise this thought with IT's ALL my mother's fault! She named me!!
I am SHOCKED at how accurate this name thing was! I mean dead on ACCURATE, even to the hidden flaws I thought I so meticulously covered.
Of course, I inserted my real name and then deleted it and added Mother Goose. I am still a little paranoid with all of this. Actually, I don't care if you all know my real name. I just care about my off spring. We have some serious wackos here. People at the airport call me by my first name and it always throws me off kilter. Then I remember I have my name plastered across my chest! But, its freaky and I'm very cautious of people. I do have a good read on people though, and I am rarely wrong with my first impressions! Like FREAKY never wrong. So, I do trust my intuition.



What Mother Goose Means



You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily
You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind.
A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.

You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.

You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.



You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.

You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.


You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.
You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.
You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.
You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.
You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.
You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.
You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.


You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.

You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.

You have the classic "Type A" personality.


Ideally, I can get along in the real world with everyone.(adaptable). But, resisting my real thoughts and feelings around people for a prolonged period of time. I need to retreat and go into my cave, energize and then I can come out to play nicely, again. I can do anything that I want to do and accomplish it. Yes, I can let my ideas get carried away. Then I am disappointed if I can not make it all happen. I am a perfectionist and I won't give up or accept it unless it is done to my satisfaction. I do not expect you to get on my frenzy, just to get out of the way and let me accomplish it. The only person I expect to help me with my frenzy is Mr. Incredible. (nice, huh?) I am a procrastinator. I do work well under pressure and do put off things until the end. I do bore easily. Once I have mastered it, I move on. I am high energy until it loses my interest. I do like to be away from home. I do not have to clean or do chores and traveling to random locations must mean my ability to get lost frequently. I'm impatient and have a low tolerance for mediocrity. I can pacify but don't ask me to sugar coat things for a prolonged period. There are very few grey areas for me. Most things are black and white. I am a good debater. I can argue anything and get you to see my point of view. I avoid confrontation by ignoring it and running away from it. But when backed in a corner I come out fighting like a lioness. But, ummm... don't mess with my goslings or you will open a whole can of WHOOP #$#. Mama Goose turns into a rabid Mama bear.

I plugged each one of my family members name in and we are all TYPE A personalities! Surprise, surprise! NOT!
Like popeye says: I yam who I yam

4 count them FOUR Meme's

Why 4, well haven't you realized it's ALL ABOUT ME!,
I found this on Devri's blog as well as Merrianne's. I thought I would play along.




You Belong in 1983



Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day.






You Are a Red Velvet Cake



Rich, decadent, and sensual.

You have a deep appeal that transcends all trends.

You are the definition of passion: intense, adventurous, and seductive.



Mr. Incredible took the test! Yes, he will take an occassional test for me if I beg plead and make illicit sweet promises for later.
He is strawberry cake! Lucky for him I love ALL CAKE!



You Are Strawberry Cake



Fresh, sassy, and romantic.

You're a total flirt, who never would turn down a sugary treat.

Occasionally you're a bit moody - but you usually stay sweet!




I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!



You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.


Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.




Take the 100 Acre Personality Quiz!

TAG I'M IT!!


Jodi has tagged me and here are the rules to this tag. I need to list 6 words that describe my life and tag five people.

*My life is truly blessed
*My life is not perfect
*My life is significant
*My life is chaotic
*My life is full
*My life is beautiful

(ya know it's not perfect but once I sift out all the bad things I have had a good run. I have joy. (2Nephi 2:25 Adam fell that men might be; men are, that they might have joy).

I always have issues with tagging people because they never do the tag!
here are my five tagged.
The first two women I am tagging because they have more children than I and I am amazed daily by the things they do. Devri and Erica
The next two women are single and do not have children and both live in NY! Remind me of what spontaneity is. Kalae and Leolani.
and for my last tag I tag the essence of youth on my blog roll. She just came back from EFY and is full of life. I tag Rachel.

BE PROUD


I am liberating myself and taking after Alice. She posted this post Mr. Incredible and I have never been the parents to deny our children any activity because of our size or looks. We get out there and do it! We might not do it like we did back in da day but we do it! If our children were interested in roller blading, we got roller blades. They wanted to bike, we got bikes. ATV- we got ATV's, whatever the sport we are not just mere spectators we are participators! I see so many parents who do not enjoy activities with their children because of one reason or another. GET OVER IT! Miss Alice has prompted me to publicly share pictures of myself in my bathing suit. I am 15 pounds heavier than my profile picture. I'm not happy but I'm not miserable either. Umm... if you thought I was going to share a full body pic of me in my suit, "it ain't gonna happen"! You will just have to come visit me to get the full on experience!

Did you know that your body is magnified underwater? So, never allow a picture to be taken of yourself, like I just did!
NOW SHOW me your bathing suit. Before I show pics that I have... roflrofl, don't worry I won't post! Because I know paybacks are horrible.

So instead of being unhappy! I am thankful. I am thankful that I have a body that allows me to enjoy my children. I am thankful that I am healthy enough to live life right beside them. I am thankful I can swim. I am thankful I can get dressed unassisted. I am thankful I can put a bathing suit on, I am thankful they make clothes in my size. I am thankful I AM ME!! I wouldn't want to be ANYBODY ELSE!!
check out Sweetheart's face! I am swimming between her legs.

Enough pictures of me! I just love underwater pictures! Don't you??

MOTHERBOARD TAG




Ok, I have decided to do this tag first because it was the easiest to do! Those are my favorite! All you have to do is post a picture of your motherboard area! I wanna see where you blog from. Please consider yourself TAGGED! If you choose to participate leave a comment and I will check your spot out!
I am surrounded by everything that is the most important to me. Pictures of my family, family members and friends, and temple pictures. The hutch that the pictures are on is an antique from the Art Deco period. I just recently brought it downstairs from the bonus room. I have no place to put it downstairs and it will most likely end up in the garage. But, currently it is housing my most beloved pictures! I can't seem to move this piece out of my home. I think I need a larger home!

What's your slogan?

I didn't think I would add this to my blog but after just plugging my name in and reading the results, this is SOOOO ME!! Yeah, it brings back fun memories of when we were in Vegas. LOL, NOT! Well, the first time wasn't fun. Warrior and Beauty and I were just stuck in Vegas and we stayed there for 2 days. But, then our family all flew to Vegas for a family reunion and we had a blast! It is so much fun!! They want to go back.
so, my slogan. "What happens in Mother Goose stays in Mother Goose" would fit quite perfectly!



Your Slogan Should Be



What Happens in Chrys, Stays in Chrys
