Tykes on Bikes

Riding bikes is one of our favorite pasttimes around here!
Memphis was our first (and last) stop during our trip last week. Granddad pulled out Aunt Melody's tricycle from when she was a little girl.
Faith loved sitting up really tall!

Eli wanted to give it a try too!

We're back!

We just got back from another trip to Texas. I went on an AMAZING Scrapbooking/Craft Retreat with my SIL and some other dear friends from PRCC. It was the PERFECT vacation for me. Murray took the kids to visit his family during my 4 day, 3 night retreat. We drove there and back again...not sure we will be doing that again anytime soon. Eli had a really hard time this trip. Needless to say, this was our favorite, albeit rare, scene during our 2000 mile journey..
More later, I'm too tired to say much else right now!!!

Tagged by Sara

I don't get tagged that often (is that saying something about me??) so I'm gonna accept this tag from Sara M. and tell you 7 random things about myself....

1) I LOVE being pregnant. (I'm not currently pregnant btw). I feel this weird almost jealous feeling whenever I see a pregnant woman. I love wearing maternity clothes, feeling the baby move inside, etc. I may look into being a surrogate!! I really enjoy it!

2) I cannot sleep without sticking one of my feet out of the blankets. I start to feel claustrophobic if I don't.

3) Speaking of claustrophobia, wearing fake nails makes me feel claustrophobic. I've been a nail biter for as long as I can remember. (horrible habit I'm still trying to break!!) I've always wanted to have long pretty nails. I thought, getting "my nails done" would be a perfect solution, wrong!! It freaked me out and I couldn't wait to get them off!

4) Unlike Sara, I LOVE fans (the kind that blow air and keep you cool). I can't sleep without them. Even in the wintertime, I have fans going!

5) I don't like very many fruits, but I love almost all veggies!

6) I write things on my "to-do" list just so I can cross them off. It finalizes the accomplishment and is a little reward to myself!

7) I LOVE to organize but HATE to clean. I am embarrassed to admit that I can count on one hand (actually just using a few fingers) how many times I've dusted my house since we've moved here over a year ago!

Here are my 7 friends that I tag... Ramona H., Amanda T., Mindy B., Jerri H., Monica H., Laura S., Candice S.

Facebook

I have a couple dear friends who have asked me to join Facebook. I know it's one of the "latest" ways to stay connected. Murray got an account a few weeks ago. I get on his every now and then to read the "What I'm doing right now" comments from his 120+ friends. I just logged on to set up my own account and it pulled up Murray's home page. I was overwhelmed at all the info that was posted. It lists who signed on to who's page, so and so became friends with so and so and on and on and on. I couldn't take it all in!!

I like for most things in my life to be very organized! I am not that tech savvy. These two reasons are making it hard for me to take the plunge into the world of Facebook. The only slight draw is my friends' request and how "cool" and "fun" everyone says it is.

Thoughts???? Shoot straight with me. How hard is it to figure out this thing called Facebook?
