I was tagged a while ago by Kristen. What a slacker I have been. So here are 6 quirks of mine you may or may not already know.
1. I love to watch Christmas movies and listen to Christmas music in the summer.
2. I get a little claustrophobic in a hot car when I'm a passenger.
3. I can't stand to hear people crunch, slurp or smack their food. The sounds of people eating makes me a little sick to my stomach. I know that chewing makes sounds I can take some, it's just when it's extra loud or sloppy that it gets to me.
4. I can't cut corners when I'm walking I almost always follow the sidewalk. When I was at BYU they had a big campaign to keep student from making trails across the grass "Cougars Don't Cut Corners". What ever they did this stuck and that phrase runs in my head.
5. If I get the hic ups. I always have them again later that day. They come in twos.
6. I like surprises when I know they are coming. Like, I would never peek at a Christmas present because I like the surprise of it. I really like knowing that something fun is going to happen, even if I don't know what it is. I like to know a surprise is coming so I have something to look forward to.
Now, I tag Erin (after you post about your trip to Africa of course), Melissa, Katie and Autumn.

Things I want to remember that I'll forget if I don't write down somewhere....
10-3-09 When I walked into Coopers room after his nap he said "oh my pincess, rrr here".
9- 09 In Sharning time Corbin blessed that everyone would stay awake at church today. It make me laugh to think of the high priests, wondering why they didn't get nap today.
8-28-09 Cooper was talking to his baby doll. I asked if his doll was a baby girl or baby boy. He said "baby gril" I asked what his baby girls baby was. His said "baby name s baby sis-er". Oh baby sister huh. I think someone is catching on the we need a baby girl around here.
8-9-09 Tonight Corbin called Cooper "little buddy".
8-3-09 Corbin and Cooper have been playing so nicely together lately. They have been giggling and talking it just melts my heart.
7-27-09 Today cooper is sick, with a fever and aches. Every few waking minutes I hear him say "I sick mommy, mommy I sick" Bless his little heart.
Today Corbin called me sweetie. He said, Hey mom wannna play dominoes, huh little sweetie, will you play with me.
6-22-09 Ever since my mom stayed with the boys cooper thinks every color is pink. I think he has been brain washed.
6-21-09 Corbin gave a talk in primary today. He did a great job.
6-08-09 Tonight we had Del Taco for dinner. As we pulled away from the order speaker thingie Cooper called out "goodbye tacos".
3-15-09 Cooper has started singing songs. I'm am a child of god and the Sunbeam song.
2-28-09 Cooper put his shorts on all by himself. Corbin almost missed the bus because he wouldn't get dressed by himself.
2-19-09 We are going gluten free. Hoping it will help Corbin be a little happier.
2-15-09 Cooper stopped what he was doing and came over to me to kiss my hand. Then he went right back to playing with his toys. Very sweet.
1-09-09 Cooper put his pants on all by himself today. and Corbin put on a santa hat and stood on the driveway singing christmas songs in his jammies. It was a very cute site to sneak up on.
1-7-09 Cooper says " Heyyyy" if anything gets taken away from him.
12-19-08 This morning Corbin was talking to me in bed waiting for my alarm to go off. Then he heard Cooper making noise. He jumped out of my bed and as he opened Cooper's door I heard him sweetly say," Well Hello, what do we have here". What a cute brother he can be.
12-18-08 Corbin helped Cooper into the highchair for dinner, buckles and all.
10-08/12-08 I'm a little behind. Here are a few highlights that I can still remember...
Cooper says, daddy, hohoho, moo, quack, moemin (Corbin), gaga (grandma), and will repeat anything I say to him.
Corbin got stitches somewhere very delicate.
Cooper jumped once for the first time, trying to reach something on the christmas tree.
Corbin is talking up a storm. He is starting to put words to his feelings, like frustrated and angry.
9-26-08 Cooper asked for a cookie tonight. It's the first time I've heard him say that word.
9-21-08 Cooper has figured out how to take the tray off his highchair. We need to go out and find the booster seat for him.
9-18-08 Cooper has started climbing on chairs.
9-15-08 Corbin wants to have conversations. He will come to me and say "Mom, lets talk". then he wants me to start by asking him a questions.
9-7-08 Cooper said Amen after his goodnight prayer for the first time tonight.
9-5-08 We went to Disneyland today and now Cooper can say Duck, and Quack Quack.
9-3-08 Corbin and Cooper have started wrestling together. It's really funny to watch Cooper just tackle Corbin to the ground.

Well, now I know more about you that I didn't know before. Fun...fun..
I'm glad that you tagged Erin. Maybe even I will learn something I don't know about her....or...do moms know everything?
I hope that you and your sweet mom had a happy Mother's Day. My family spoiled me again.
Shannon, I am exactly the same way! I told you that we are so much alike!
I just had to laugh, I thought I was the only one totally and completely grossed out and bugged by vocal chewing, slurping, or eating of any kind. It's a real treat at dinner some times but I just remember that my boys are small and KINDLY remind them about manners.
Even your quirks are cute! I don't think I could stop at JUST 6!
That's funny that you get hiccups in twos. Want a cure? I promise it works!
Take a tall glass of water, place a metal butter knife (sharp side down) in the water. Drink the water while pressing the other end of the knife onto your temple. it works for EVERYONE in my family, and everyone I have passed it on to. Test it and let me know!
Shelby- that is quite an unusual tip. I will have to give it a try.
Kari- My little boys can get away with noises that Derek can't but I know that one day their adorable-ness, will run out and they too will make me sick.
I'm so with you on the presants thing. It so nice to get surprises isn't it.
Madison smacks her food and drives me crazy! I try not to be too critical with her so she won't get a complex!
I had a great time visiting with you and Melissa yesterday we need to plan for another get together nest month at my house! Your boys are so adorable and Corbin is doing great!!!!!
I mirror most of those things, except for the surprises. I DO NOT like to be surprised. Just ask Adam. He surprised me with a proposal. Didn't go so hot...
I am so with you on the Christmas music. I always dread it when they start playing less and less on the radio. I could listen all year round!
That is so funny that your hiccups come in two. How cute!
Isn't half of the surprise ruined if you know it's coming? I love surprises so much that when my wife got pregnant I kept trying to convince her that she was just getting fat, so she would be really surprised when a baby started coming out.
Very Clever Mr. Unmighty. I'm sure she loved being called fat (smile). Your right, maybe I really hate surprises and just love presents. Hmmm
Shannon...HI!!! Thanks for writing and saying hi! I love this blogging thing. I am not sure why I haven't been doing it always!
I visited your blog yesterday from Becky's. Your boys are DARLING. I just love that little cooper...and what a sweet name. :)
Kori is blogging...you can get to her from my site..."The Hydes".
Well it was good to hear from you. Glad things are going so well.
I am spending the weekend after Memorial with Kelli and Jo...I am so excited!
take care
KAM
