Mom's quirks

Hi everybody! It's mom! I know you all think that it has been dad and I blogging when in fact we are illiterate people when it comes to these things!! Chloe and Camille have actually been the ones getting the pictures and comments up and running. Had I known I would be included in the pictures I would have vetoed them! Seriously, I had to get up the next morning after seeing me in all my glory and get back on the treadmill. Nothing like knowing the whole world has seen my "greatness"!!!
Enough about me!! I am so happy to read about and see all of our family and friends!! It really is such a fun way to keep in touch! I don't know if I will be able to keep up as this is all new to me, but I'm gonna give it a try! We are always so thriilled to see our sweet little grand children and their parents!!!! It's just a bonus to click on and read everyones comments. Thanks for getting us going. Oh greattttttt!!! Camille just told me this is the place that I'm supposed to share 6 of my deepest, darkest secrets. Something about being tagged!! I think all of you kids know pretty much everything there is to know about me, but in case you have forgotten..........
1. In the sixth grade I beat Raymond Bame in the 50 yard dash because there was a fudgesicle at the end for the winner. Enough said!
2. I grew up having a wonderful childhood in a big family. My mother and dad are my heroes!
3. I thought store-bought bread was a treat----can you imagine??
4. I have secretly wondered if I could still play the tuba if the opportunity presented itself!! (Har, har!!)
5. During my "walks" I've become interested in birds. We had two baby owls in the cottonwood trees last year. I have been mercilessly teased about my "wildlife experiences".
6. If you think being a mom is good, being a grandma is the icing on the cake! P.S. (Thanks for all of you good little mothers out there taking care of our grandchildren!)

Camillio's Quirks

I've been tagged! kenna tagged Mom, Chloe, AND me so i guess we will be having a lot of silly quirks on our blog, (which shouldn't be a problem seeing what family we came from.) anyway, so i have to write 6 quirks about myself, so here goes!

1. like kenna, i am a big cryer,(it must run in the family,) i cry no matter what emotion I'm feeling, if i get too excited, or sad or nervous, the tears come flowing.

2. my eyes are always eritating me because i have an eyelash that grows INTO my eye! (which just makes more tears.)

3. A long time ago, (no it wasn't just last week,) i saw one of my sisters fake like they were putting an olive up their nose, so i decided to try. let's just say that didnt turn out so well.

4. this one's more like my family's quirk, im the normal one in this case. my family puts cottage cheese on their potatoes. i used to think it was alright, but now i just think it's descusting!

5. my nick name is camillio radregus montegus de lajoya de nochocheese bennion. it's a little long. Jason gave it to me when him and kara got married. don't ask why, if you want to know that you'll have to ask him!

6. i LOVE Ariel! she is my very favorite princess! i was soooo excited when we actually got to see her in reall life in Disneyland! I'd also have to say the little mermaid is my favorite cartoon.

i hope you all like it! you probably won't enjoy it very much ,my life isn't all that interesting.
love, camille
