I was tagged by Tiff so I better do it. :) Mostly for those restless nights that she has.
Did you know that...
My favorite color is Carolina Blue and Lavender.
My favorite dessert is chocolate ice cream... with a little milk on it. I know weird huh?
My favorite Sunday CD is... I love my Women of Destiny CD's.
My favorite anytime CD right now is Carrie Underwood.
My favorite show is... I like some of the reality shows. American Idol, Survivor, Amazing Race. I also love to watch Ghost Whisper.
My favorite place to be is anywhere with my family
My favorite time of day is when I get home from work in the evenings and then it is just me and my boys.
My favorite holiday is Christmas
My least favorite thing to do is work outside the home.
My least favorite thing to wear is panty hose --- I agree with Tiff.
My least favorite place to be is at work. I would love to be home with my baby.
My secret obsession right now is blog surfing. It really is addicting.
I miss North Carolina. I would love to go back to visit one of these days.
I have been terrible at keeping in touch with people from my mission. -- Me too.
I have not seen a lot of my good friends in a very long time and I do miss them.
I have the sweetest baby that brings joy to my life.
At night after i get done nursing him and he falls asleep I just want to hold him, and rock him and not put him down.
I hate pumping everyday at work, but I enjoy nursing Colsten.
I will be sad when I have to stop nursing because I feel like that is my bonding time with Colsten that no one else can have since I don't get him all day long.
I look forward to the day that I will be able to be a stay at home mom.
I love my husband and son more than anything.
I now tag the following people to post a "did you know" thread on their blogs: Kristen, Nancy, Whitney, Teresa, Diana, Kara, Shaylee, Kourtney, Amanda, Angie, Bonnie, and Sherry.

Quick update on the last couple of weeks
Yesterday was Colsten's 6 month appointment. The doctor said he is very impressed with how fast he is learning physically. He had Colsten up on the table to check him and Colsten rolled over then got up on all fours and trying to sit. Then he pushes his legs up so his bum is in the air. This is normal for us, but our doctor seemed suprised that he was already doing these things. Colsten is trying so hard to crawl. He has almost got it and then we are in trouble. We haven't even baby proofed our house yet. I have some Willow Tree Statues that were in the bottom of our entertainment system. Tally told me that I probably needed to move them up. I told him that I have a few weeks. Well last Sunday I was in the kitchen and heard some clunking noise then Tally started laughing. I knew right then what was going on. Colsten was in the bottom of the entertainment system from the waist up playing with the statues. He was sucking on the head of the baby and just having fun. They are officially moved now. We have been giving him cereal. He wasn't doing well with the rice so we tried oatmeal and that was so much better and he has had sweet potatoes. So we are on our way to real food. He weighed in at 18 lbs 13.5 oz. (70%), his height is 26" (25%), and his head is 17 1/4" (50%). Things are looking good with him. He is so happy and loves to laugh.
Last week we had a suprise anniversary party for my parents. We figured it would be fun to do something for them. They have had such a hectic year with Natalie. It was fun having everyone here. Scott & Kourt came up and Alan & Amanda came up and suprised them. We got to meet Zach. He is adorable. We are glad that he is here and things are going well. It was fun to have all of the grandkids together. My mom tried to get pictures with all 5 of them, but there were a couple that didn't really want to cooperate. That is ok, there will be plenty of other times.
Natalie finished one more round of chemo this last week. She has 2 more rounds left and then she will be done with chemo hopefully for good. She is an inspiration to me. She has been so strong through all of this and had such a great attitude. It will be a year since she was diagnosed at the end of this month. She was diagnosed on Aug 29. It will be so good to have it over. It has been a very rough year. I am so blessed she is my sister. I love her so much.

Memory Tag
My cousin had this on her blog, so I thought that I would put it on mine. Here are the rules.
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together or one that you had with Tally.
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Birthday
Well yesterday was my birthday. It felt like any other day. We went to church then up to my mom's house. I did get get a great present for my birthday. I got a nephew. :-) Zachary was born yesterday. He belongs to my brother and sister in law. They live in Grand Junction so I didn't get to go see him, but we are excited that he is here and that Zach and Amanda are doing well.
Things are going well for our family. Colsten just gets more fun every day. He has discovered his toes. He is doing very well sitting up of course he still topples over occasionally, but he is getting it. He rolls all over the place which is scary because sometimes I will put him on my bed in the morning while I get ready for work and one of these days I am worried that he is going to just roll right on to the floor. He is such a happy baby. Everything is starting to go into his mouth and he is trying to crawl. He gets his knees under him and tries to launch himself. Of course he doesn't go very far but he is trying. It is a very fun stage for him to be at. I am loving every minute of it.

Colsten is so happy. I just can't get enough of him. In the picture where I am holding him, I had given him a little chocolate... I know it is bad and I will probably get lectured for it, but he looks fine doesn't he. He doesn't seem to be suffering to much. Anyway so the chocolate got smeared on his face and dad wanted a picture. He is just so adorable. :-)
