Wendy nominated me for this award. Thanks so much, Wendy!!

She is an amazing cardmaker who loves pretty paper. Her creativity blows me away. I think my favorite post of hers is still her Halloween boxes. So cute!

If you are a stamp-er or cardmaker or scrapbook-er or in need of creative ideas or just simply like to look through what other people are making-- check out her blog.

As a result of receiving this nomination, I am supposed to tell you 5 things I am addicted to and nominate 5 other fabulous sites.

Addictions:
* My family (especially nieces and nephews) – they are adorable! I love them and love being with them. If you need proof of their adorable-ness ask. I could go on and on and on!
* Books – I love to read, mostly fiction.
* Belly dancing – it’s a crazy, fun hobby. There is something grounding about the whirl of colors and the beat of the drum. I love the sisterhood we share in troupe and the creativity that comes from the dance.
* Cambridge and Oliver – silly, silly dogs.
* The Ranch – Something about the red dirt down there, once you get a taste of it, it never lets go.

Now for the blogs! So hard to choose!!!! I enjoy visiting more than 5 blogs regularly, but here are the 5 I’ve visited most recently – in addition to Wendy’s.

Nominations:
* http://gordongossip.blogspot.com/ - Jenifer always has some great, new idea posted. She has great taste, and I feel like reading her blog is like reading a magazine. She has a way of finding all the cool things first.
* http://sherbugs.blogspot.com/ - Sherry shares her life. I can see her family in each word she writes. She makes me laugh or cry depending on the post.
* http://mowglimarie.blogspot.com/ - Angie has quirky awesome posts. I love the variety of her posts and her mad video editing skills.
* http://morrillfamilyblog.blogspot.com/ - I love Bekah’s blog because I get to see into her family and check up on the happenings in the lives of a nephew and a niece. Two obsessions in one: family and blog! I love her posts and comments. She is the one who introduced me to thecutestblogontheblock.com and to blog playlists.
* http://j0n3zclan.blogspot.com/- Havilah is my sister-in-law’s sister. I love to read about the funny and creative things that happen in their family.

Memories

Oliver, I remember how small you were. How you whined and cried when you were left alone in your box/kennel while you were being house trained. I remember how you took to Cambridge, wanting to be with him everywhere. I remember sitting with the two of you, having structured together time; Cambridge was not fond of the new puppy and needed encouragement for patience, lessons on sharing, and reminders not to nip at the puppy. You hated going somewhere Cambridge did not go and wanted to go everywhere he did. You were always eager to love, ready for a pat on the head, playtime, offering a lick to the hand, even when I didn't put my best foot forward. Even when I scolded. What a small fluff you were. Loyal and anxious and mischievous. Wanting to climb into laps. Wanting more food, more time, more love. Always thinking you were still a puppy. Wanting to be the center of everything. Stealing toys just to steal them. Camping trips with you and Cambridge in the tent with me because I was wo...

A Day at the Zoo

Last Saturday, before the sudden cold snap, we took a family to the Hogle Zoo. The weather was perfect--not too hot, not too cold. The animals were out and about. The zoo wasn't too crowded, and we got to see them feed a penguin fish. RD loved the lizard his dad told him was a dinosaur. IC said she liked the zebras the best. In this picture, AL was a little nervous at first when the giraffe started to lower and tried to pull herself up the pole until she realized that the animal would rise up and sink down. Then, she was fine. She had a ball going around in circles and waving at everyone as we passed. The rest of my nieces and nephews who were old enough to care about riding on a carousel had ridden the turn before. What a fun day! Becca thanks for sharing this picture!

Name Quest

My sister-in-law's sister is expecting her third baby. She and her husband have opted not to know the gender of this little one because they have a girl and a boy already. They want to try one the "old-fashioned" way. Maybe the surprise will be twins and they will have one of each... The trick is, they are trying to keep a naming pattern that I had already thought was pretty tricky, but only tonight realized a new dimension of its complexity. Their daughter is Ruth, and their son is Garreth. They would like to continue the "th" ending of the next baby's name. Tonight, my brother and sister-in-law also pointed out that their first child's name is one syllable, their second child's name is two syllables, and they would like their third child's name to have three syllables. (Maybe that is how Mahonri Moriancumer got such a long name....) That seemed nearly impossible to me at first, but was surprised at how many names do end in "th". Join...
