Sports Addict

Luke - future BYU starter quarterback

Some kids sleep with a teddy bear, but Luke loves his dad's football

He can barely wrap his arms around this ball.

Luke pretty much loves playing every sport - probably like most little boys. We love to take him to open fields and let him run wild. This field had a bunch of soccer nets up so we had fun playing some soccer. His Aunt Shawna would have been proud.

What have we done?!!

Luke in the bath after we did the deed. He didn't mind too much once it was over.

This was his reaction when he saw himself in the mirror! (just kidding)

The large amount of hair we buzzed off our son's little, baby head

Luke needed a haircut, badly! We made some cuts here and there but got so sick of it that we just buzzed it. I regretted it after the first "bzzzzz" but there was no going back after that.

A to Z

Okay, Shantelle tagged me to do this and since I've never done something like this I thought it might be fun/interesting. Maybe I'll even learn something new about myself...

A-attached or single: Definitely attached to Austin Kramer, crazy hockey addiction and all. I'm also quite attached to Luke, or is it that he is attached to me?

B-best friend: Austin, if I know a secret about you, then he does too. Does that make you uncomfortable?

C-cake or pie: I would have to say pie in most cases, although rainbow frosting on a birthday cake holds a special place in my heart.

D-day of choice: Sunday. Austin doesn't work and we just relax and get together with family and play games.

E-essential item: Treadmill. How does any mother get along without one? It is my lifesaver mentally and physically.

F-favorite color: Blue through and through.

G-gummy bears or worms: I would have to say worms. Whenever I see a gummy bear I always think of that little girl in Ferris Buller's Day Off - "want a gummy bear? it's warm, it's been in my pocket all day" - ugh!

H-hometown: Until we move somewhere permanently I guess I will always claim Morgantown, WV - go Mountaineers!

I-indulgence(s): Recently it has been white cheddar popcorn - if you haven't tried it go grab a bag! Or if you have a good home teacher, he might grab some for you, right Crys?

J-january or july: I would have to say July. I love the summer! My husband and I are big fans of long hikes and that's usually when we end up taking some of our most fun hikes. Not to mention outdoor games, camping, swimming and bridge jumping.

K-kids: 1 little man - Luke who is about to turn 17 months old - we just gave him his third haircut - a buzz. Bad move on our part.

L-life is incomplete without: Austin. Is that too cheesy and obvious?

M-marriage date: November 23, 2005

N-number of siblings: I'm the 4th of 11 plus 1 in-law.

O-oranges or apples: Apples definitely, although I completely agree with Shantelle on this one in that when you find a good orange it is hard to beat.

P-phobias or fears: Seeing my evil twin, with glowing red eyes, who is here to take over the good me and ruin my life. You have to admit it would be freaky.

Q-quotes: I would say that my dad or my sister Cassidy are quoted the most around this house. If you know them well, you know why.

R-reason to smile: Austin gets off early today and we're going on a hot date! Wohoo!

S-season of choice: Summer, for reasons listed above.

T-tag: I would love to see so many of my siblings and friends do this - it takes a little effort. I'm tagging, Sarah, Bethany, Crystal, Rachel, Meagan, my mom and... How many choices do I get?

U-unknown fact about me: I dye my eyebrows. I can't help it, if I don't then it doesn't look like I have eyebrows because they are so blonde!

V-very favorite store: ShopKo for clothes, they're cheap and cute.

W - worst habit: Most days I don't take a shower until after 1pm, when I finally get my workout done.

X-x-ray or ultrasound: I guess I would have to say an ultrasound although it carries some painful memories of nurses pushing down on my burst appendix with my full bladder! Oh, I can't remember it, it's too painful! But I do love seeing babies (especially my own) in ultrasounds so that definitely wins me over!

Y-your favorite food: Chicken mikhani from India Garden in Provo, UT. I want to go back there just for that dish!

Z-zodiac sign: Capricorn, I think.
