Memory Tag- You're All It

MEMORY GAME

1. As a comment on this post, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

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.

Valerie said...: Treats. That's my memory of you. It seems like you always brought over the yummiest treats for scouts and always had yummy treats at home for your family. Homemade stuff. I am so not into baking, so I admired yours!!; August 24, 2008 at 1:42 PM

Emily said...: My most vivid memories of you are the fact that I think I have put my foot in my mouth with you more than any person I've ever met (that's A LOT). So nice of you to forgive me over and over again. The first time I met you, I knocked on your door and asked if you were Sister Davis. I was in Scouts, so I had Nathan on my list, and I just assumed that you were Sister Davis. You all know what happens when we "assume."

I know there have been a lot of other times, but I don't remember the specifics. I just remember feeling like such an idiot and worrying about the dumb things I said. So...Sorry!

When my kids are grown and gone, our memories will definitely include Claire and Logan. Claire was so smitten with Paige, and she wanted to be by her all the time - even when I was nursing. I tried to be discrete, but what do you do?!? And Logan has walked into the bathroom to see me in a towel or my garments more than a couple of times. So, when it comes time to have "the talk," Logan and Claire might have memories of me. Poor kids! I hope you and Spence can flip the bill for all their counseling.

I also remember when you moved in thinking how absolutely gorgeous you were. Your beautiful smile and your thick, gorgeous hair. You are tall and thin. So beautiful! I still think that, so it's not really a memory. :)

It has been so fun getting to know you and your family better. We love you guys!; August 24, 2008 at 9:03 PM
Tyler and Jen said...: Hey Jackie,
Tyler said I couldn't post my favorite memory of you on your blog. But it still makes me laugh all the time. It was when you, Spence, Vicky,Dale, and Tyler and I were all out to dinner at Red Lobster. Up until that time I thought you were a hard person to get to know because you never talked much. But then Spencer was talking about wishing he had a 12 inch version of a record and then you made a hilarious comment and soda about came out of my nose.I thought "Man! Jackie doesn't talk much but when she does she is FUNNY!"
I love your blog!

Brian and Kim said...: I will always remember what a great scout leader you were. You were always prepared and willing to do anything that was needed. You are amazing!!; August 26, 2008 at 10:54 AM
Laura said...: I remember when you first moved in and I took over a loaf of banana bread. You give a wonderful first impression and it was all so true. I thought you were so pretty and nice and easy to talk to. I'm so glad you moved in the neighborhood. You are awesome neighbors. We love you guys tons!!!

I also remember when you brought me home made blueberry muffins for my birthday one year. Soooo yummy!!! You are an very good cook. OK, so most of my momories are food related. That's not a problem, is it????; September 5, 2008 at 3:29 PM

3/10: Nathan has worked hard in school this year and has received straight A's all year. He worked hard to get back into honors classes next year also. I am so proud of him.

I was putting Logan in his bed late at night because he fell asleep in our bed. Nathan was sound asleep in his bed. He talks in his sleep quite a bit. This was the conversation he had with me while his eyes were closed.
"Mom!"
"What Nathan?"
"What's there to do?"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm bored!"
"Well, why don't you read?"
"Cuz that's BORING!"
"Why don't you just go to sleep?"
"mumble mumble mumble" (couldn't understand)

My crimany- even when they're sound asleep they still ask me what there is to do because they're bored! Does it never end? LOL

3/10: Logan was visiting some cousins and they weren't treating him very well. He hadn't been feeling well besides. When we picked him up he began to tell us all the "naughty" things that were said and done by them. He continued to say that these cousins liked to play violent computer games and that they watch R rated movies. (which I don't think is true...) At the end he sighed and said "Those kids need to get their life straight."

11/09: Our computer has had a virus and Nathan (our computer whiz) hasn't taken the time to fix it. Logan wanted to play a computer game on Spence's laptop. Spence told him no. Logan shouts at the top of his lungs "Then tell Nathan to fix the DAMN computer!" Needless to say, he went straight to his room for time out. I don't know where he learns those words!

2/09: I was playing a Memory Game with Logan and Claire. They teamed up against me. I HATE that game. They were of course, winning. Logan says with so much excitement "Mom! We're kicking your ass off!" I said "What?" Naturally, he repeated it for me. I don't know where he has learned that word because I swear- I have never used it.

-We were at the drive up at Wendy's and Spence gave his debit card to the cashier. Logan asked "Is there never ending money on dad's card?" Boy, I sure wish there was!

-Claire decided to suck her thumb in the car the other day. I told her that she is too old to do that and that there are so many germs on her hands that go in her mouth. Logan's response: "At least it keeps her from talking mom."

-We were coming home from Sunday dinner at the in-laws and were playing around with the GPS navigator we got for Christmas. The lady was telling us instructions on where to turn to get home. When we were almost home Logan (in sarcastic voice) says "Uh, we know how to get home. We don't need any stupid instructions!"

-Last night Logan was laying in bed. I was putting Claire to bed. It was all quiet, then Logan says "Mom!" I said "What Logan?" He then replies "I can hear my brain banging in my head!" I didn't even know how to respond to that one.

3/10: I got out some Sun Chips for Claire for lunch the other day. She was excited about the flavor of them and said "Oh I love this kind! This kind is made with weed!" (They are the plain kind that have wheat...)
1/10: Claire got the movie "Hannah Montana" for Christmas. She loves that movie and I cannot count how many times she has seen it. She turns it up and dances during the songs. She was going downstairs to watch it and said she couldn't take Simon (our new dog) down with her cuz she was going to be "rockin and rollin." I guess it was going to get a bit too wild and crazy in the basement for the new puppy... :-)

5/11/09: Claire brought home a "Sight Word Fishing Game" from preschool. You write different sight words on the back of the cards and fish for them with a magnent. I helped her to read the words. We came to the one that said "you." I told her the word and told her it was like "I love you." She then replied "Or like yooo gross!"

2/26/09: Claire went to the dentist today for the first time. She was nervous so watched while Logan had his teeth cleaned. She saw the "blue napkin" laying on him and asked what it was for. I told her it was to wipe stuff on. She said "Like your boogers." Hmmm- let's hope you can keep your finger out of your nose while the dentist is here. :-)

-I put Claire to bed and came down and sat on the couch to read. After about five minutes Claire got out of bed and came down. She pulled out the Friend magazine to sit by me and read. I kept telling her she needed to get back into bed. She refused. She ignored all of my threats and I didn't have energy to deal with it. She said "Mom, I'll do everything you tell me to do...tomorrow!" Ugh!

-We were in the car the other night and it was a bright full moon. I said to the kids "Look at the full moon!" Claire looked then asked "What does the moon eat? Cheese?" I laughed and said the moon doesn't eat anything. It's not alive. Then she goes "Well then how come it's so fat?"

-Claire came running up to talk to me and said "Mom! I need to tell you something. I need to talk to you FOREVER!"

-Claire has been a little stinker lately and really testing my patience. She has an "attitude." I was laying in bed with her last night and asked her if she was going to please start minding mommy and daddy. She just looked at me and shook her head and said "Noooo."

-When Grandpa Dee passed away we explained to the kids that when Jesus comes again he will be back "alive" and his spirit will enter into his body again. Spence later found a picture of his dog, Shasta, that died a long time ago. He was talking to Claire about the dog. She brought the picture up to me and said "Mom! Here is Shasta! He is dead, but when Jesus comes again he will come back alive. Jesus will bring her to us in his car!" Hmm, I wonder what kind of car Jesus drives. Definitely a Mercedes...

9/1/10- Samuel rolled over from his belly to his back today! He is smiling so much now and discovering his voice and hands more. He definitely loves to be held and especially likes to sit outside. He brings so much joy to our home!
9/12/11- Samuel is climbing everything now. He loves to climb up on the cupboard and kitchen table. He loves his bottle and blankie. His favorite things to play with are any kitchen utensil (spatulas, wooden spoons, etc), and the mop and broom. He dances when he hears music and has the BEST smile ever.
