  1. We need to work on working on your scrapbook, I can't wait for you to live closer to family also (so long as it is Barlow or me!) I will have to do this tag, pretty fun. Glad you got time off from your kids...how did you get Peter and friend to take the kids?

  2. You didn't want help losing those 15 pounds. Join the race and you'll have them off in no time. How exciting that you got a few hours on your own.
    I'll try to do this tag. I always forget when I've been tagged.

  4. wow- you went from Olios to Dominoes! ha ha... I've been wanting to try that place- Olios that is!!

    And we LOVE the office as well- sooo funny! Stever Carrell cracks me up!

  5. Brenda- I'll send you my pictures

    Tami- I'm up for it. I didn't say I wouldn't.

    Gordon- I didn't know you could move that fast!

    Vi- I know. Peter had to go to all these fancy dinners when he was recruiting. The problem is I don't like seafood so I didn't super enjoy them all (but I liked Olios and the Hexagon was OK just really slow service)

  6. I love the Amazing Race! Very impressive for Peter to venture out with all the kids and great that you had time alone.

  7. Fun tag, I'm excited to do it! I was going to listen to Crazy Frog to see what the heck it is, but I clicked on the link, saw the "crazy frog" of which you spoke and decided against it.

  10. Andy and I like to watch Jon & Kate plus 8. It helps us feel good about having 4 kids and that our lives aren't as crazy as we thought. :)

  11. THANK YOU for not tagging me on this. I don't need a single other thing for my to-do list.

    I support your bread goal. We have a Bosch, which we only use for other batters because we love our bread maker so much. It takes seven minutes to dump everything in, and three hours later you have hot bread. Kent has created some great whole wheat/whole grain recipes for the bread maker, so we'd be happy to pass them on if you go that route.

  12. Kim- Having to do it all the time, I was equally impressed with him taking the kids. Especially since it was in the middle of a snow storm (that caused us to miss church the next day)

    Andrea- I just saw the video of your baby dancing, Crazy Frog would be just the thing for her

    Twinlinebackers- if you would stop playing around with your friends during the day, you could get caught up. But who would I play with then?

    Aimee- I agree (except I go barefoot as often as possible).

    Jamie- That show makes your life look less crazy? It makes me feel not so alone. But then again, I don't have 6 Josephs running around so I might could go with more crazy.

    Mary- Yours was the first Bosch I ever saw (I think thats what you had back then). You made a yummy braided chicken meal. I'll take the recipes anyway, though (I think Kent made the braided chicken thingy I ate at your house). And you're totally getting my next tag. Just you wait.
