I've Been Tagged
B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
Alright here goes 6 things you may or may not know about me
1. I absolutely hate writing. Which is why Dave usually posts on our blog. In college I preferred to take 2 tests or do a chapter of math to writing a paper.
2. My house is almost always a mess. I try to blame this on the kids but I cant remember it being always clean before they came along. I would like it to be clean all the time but hate the actual cleaning. If I have to choose between cleaning and having fun, fun always wins.
3. Along with the previous number remember the colors personality test. One time my facilitator has us answer all the questions thinking back to what we were like as kids. I was almost 100% yellow. That was irresponsible, just wants to have fun, ect. It is a good thing we all grow up a little and I managed to over come some of that.
4. My biggest pet peeve is a dirty kitchen floor. I hate walking around and getting cracker crumbs stuck on the bottoms of my feet. So I have to sweep probably 4 times a day to keep that from happening.
5. I have recently become a lover of Diet Coke. Every time I am out for errands I sneak to the gas station for a 44 ounce fountain drink. The worst part of this is I became a lover of soda when I was pregnant with Ronan. I was so tired every moment of the day the whole pregnancy and we lived across the street from a Maverick. So feeling like you are going to fall over and into a sleepy coma and 2 small girls running around the apartment setting microwaves on fire took its tole on me. Now I love it and never thought that I would ever.
6. At one point in my life I thought that I wanted to be a construction worker. Too many of those home improvement shows I think. I was sure that I would love doing it. I held onto that thought until just recently when Dave and I were working on the basement. It took so long to put up sheet rock that I decided I could never do that for a living. Plus I really have no skill in that area so I probably wouldn't have got many jobs anyway.
This is the part when I get to have 6 of you do this. If you have already done it you can disregard this message. Erin and Garreth ( 2 in one blog), Elisa, Becki and Dan (again 2 in one shot), Christina.

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone. I didn't have time to send out card this year. By the time things calmed down around here it was too late to mail them out. So this is my attempt at making up for that. I dont think that you will be able to read what I wrote because it will be too small. I am going to post the individual pages below. I did these on my scrapbook program Memory Mixer. It looked really good in the actual program but I had a hard time exporting the video file to look as nice. Just imagine how nice it would have been.

The Kanigans have landed
This is a great picture of Logan. He's a great kid and a great friend of Leah's.
Here is Leah, Logan and Eva at Temple Square. The were making wishes at the wishing fountain. I gave a dime to Eva to throw in to make a wish. after doing so I asked her what she wished for and she quickly told me "if I told you then it won't come through and it's my wish not yours, so stop asking me." She has such a sweet disposition...
This is classic. This could end up on some wedding video 20 years from now. Leah is smitten with Logan. Luckily he's a good kid from good stock or I'd be practicing some good ole fashion Guantanamo waterboarding techniques on him. John McCain knows what I mean...
Eva's Letter to Santa
Eva's words exactly taken from her letter...
Dear Santa,
My name is Eva Jane Ratchford. I love at 1443 South Pebblecreek in Layton town. I think I've been a good girl. I've been nice to Colby. I will be nicer to Ronan. He's just rude. And I've been going to church good. Please find me Santa. I would like these things please:
- A little pony
- A new movie
- A new movie for Leah
- A new nose
- New hair for Daddy
- More toilets for me to poop in

1 month in
Davy here - Well I'm one month into my new job with Real Salt Lake. In case anyone doesn't know, Real Salt Lake is the professional soccer team here in Utah. Things are going well and I'm settling into my role. Speaking of that, I've been asked to oversee the whole communications department. I think it will be good and I hope I can bring RSL some new fans. The team can improve on the field, but my job is to get rear ends in the seats. Speaking of that, you can visit rslstadium.com and see how the new stadium is coming along. We are hoping to open it in October '08. My office will be there at the stadium so I should be able to kick around the ball on the field for lunch. The team will be traveling abroad to play teams like Real Madrid in the first of the year and I have a secret desire to go with them. Not sure if that will ever happen. Anyway, go out and buy your season tickets or take advantage of our special holiday offer that allows you to lock in your tickets for some of the biggest matches of next season (like Real Madrid and David Beckham's LA Galaxy). Alright so I do advertising for a living and it's hard to not sell something. Tickets on sale now...
