Thanks for the tag, Kenzie. Let's see if I can remember 10 years ago!
10 YEARS AGO I was barely pregnant with Hunter. It was such an exciting time. I remember not having any insurance, I was working at ERA Mountain Land Realty (Greg's dad and brother own it), Greg was in school and working at Big-O tires, and we had planned on not having kids for a while. My plans changed, or they were changed for me. I woke up one day and I had the strongest feeling that we needed to have a baby. Greg of course said no. But I was out of my contraceptive and he knew this, repeat he knew this, yet to this day he claims I seduced him. Nice try, Greg! Anyway, I can't imagine life without Hunter. He is such a great kid and I know that we needed him in our family.
THINGS ON MY TO DO LIST I am with Kenzie, I have lot's of laundry to do, bills to pay, and babies to feed. But here I am blogging! Long term to do list is help my kids become responsible adults one day. I guess that has to start with me!
SNACKS I ENJOY Well, right now I am enjoying a little cookie dough, compliments of Papa Murphy's pizza. If you haven't tried it, it's really good. I really like to snack on trail mix. Mainly the kind that's not good for you.
WHAT WOULD I DO IF I WERE SUDDENLY A BILLIONAiRE? I would probably go on a spending spree. If you were asking Greg he would say invest it. I would buy the car that I want, the house that I want and be able to go see family anytime I want. I maybe would even get my body looking the way it should with help from Dr. 90210! Really, I am not even kidding!
3 BAD HABITS 1) I like sweets way too much! 2) I am and always have been a procrastinator. 3) I eat what I want and then exercise thinking that I'll lose weight, but I won't because I am not a smart eater.
5 PLACES I HAVE LIVED American Fork, UT; Ephraim, UT; Pl. Grove, UT; Philadelphia, PA; Anchorage, AK.
5 JOBS I HAVE HAD: Custom Caps, put lables on hats; Lameroux appraisals; Subway sandwich, ERA Mountain Land Realty, YMCA daycare.
5 THINGS PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME 1)I would sleep all day if I had the chance 2)This goes along with Kenzie's. Greg and I were voted to have the most kids. This was an award given at our senior sluff day 3) I hate complainers. Just get the job done for heavens sakes!!!! 4) I slipped on ice when I stepped out of my car this morning. Of course I had to immediately look around to make sure no one was watching. 5) I want more kids and I won't even mind if I have twins again!
I TAG CARISSA, HOLLY, SELINA (get back on the blogwagon!), CALLIE, TRACI

Melinda... how in the world do I tag!
JK - I'm sure I can catch on! Anyway, I have to say, I love the fact that you want more kids...you have the best attitude and are such a great, patient mother. I love it and admire it so much. All of your boys (including Greg) are so lucky to have you.
I seriously laughed out loud when I read that you love sweets, work-out to lose weight, but don't b/c you don't eat smart, and would totally use money and Dr. 90210 to fix your body! :) I love that you are so real! I love it b/c it validates how I feel too!! I'm all about death by chocolate!
Fun facts! By the way, you have a gorgeous body and do not need to go to Dr. 90210!! I'm impressed that you are wanting more kids, especially after twins! I wish I had that attitude. I'm feeling like 4 is all I could handle mentally, emotionally, physically!
seduced him? right! He knew and didn't care!
fun tag, Melinda. There were a lot of things I didn't know on there so it was great to read! Crazy to believe that you were pregnant with Hunter 10 years ago...how did he get that old so fast?
That is so great that you got to go to yoga! It is the best! I promise you dont want to sleep all day though, well maybe if it was just because you want to and not because you were so sick you couldnt get out of bed! That is what happened to me this week I got sick and it knocked me out for like two days! It was horrible feeling like I didn't have any control of my house and I couldn't be on the go at all! Anyway no fun. You are so funny though, it was fun reading your tag. It would be a blast to come visit too, we would love that! We miss you guys too, we need our kids to know each other I think!
I love how you threw that doctor 90210 comment out there. No need to hide! When did you work at the YMCA. What did you think of that? And it sounds like you are on your way to winning that senior award! :)
So you slipped on the ice huh? I still think about when Mom and I were in Alaska and you were getting out of the car and poof, you were gone... I am sure you remember falling to the ground, out of our sight, because mom and I laughed for hours. I think this may be a regular occurence for you. This is great!
Cool stuff Melinda. Hey, what state was your husband working at BIG O TIRES? My dad owned two of them in AZ. My uncle and grandpa owend a few in California. Anyway, just wondering.
I loved your slideshow of all the highschool dances. That's fun.
There's a lady that on her blog gives exact directions how to change your paper. Now that I've done it a few times it's really easy & I have tons of paper downloaded on my computer now that I've converted over to digital scrapbooking. So if you want - I could help you.
