Tagged

I learned something new this week. I learned that people in the blogging world play tag. Apparently, since I've been tagged, I am supposed to list six things about myself. So here goes, here are six things you may or may not already know about me.

1. I love the Utes. I was raised watching utah games, going to utah games, listening to utah games, talking about utah sports at the dinner table. I was a ball girl for the lady utes basketball team when I was in junior high. The only time I felt homesick on my mission was when I heard that my utes were playing in the final four of the big dance. Truly, I bleed red. When I married Blair he was a luke-warm Ute fan, I'm proud to say that he is now as passionate as I am about it.

2. I love March Madness. Last weekend (the first weekend of the ncaa tourney) might possibly be the best weekend of the year. Last thursday morning when Eli asked me what we were going to do that day I told him it was march madness, so we were just going to stay home and watch basketball all day long. He was a little confused.

3. I really like to read. My library card is one of my most prized possessions. I think I have passed this on to my son. Blair is worried that he is going to be a nerd like his mom.

4. Speaking of nerds, I also love sudoku.

5. My favorite food is ice cream. My very favorite ice cream in the world is from a gelateria called Ciccio's in Palermo, Italy.

6. Okay, I'm trying to think of something a little more obscure, something you might not already know about me. I passed out on the top of Mt. Sinai. When I woke up a Brazilian doctor was jabbering at me in portugese and offering me a cup of hot chocolate.

I am tagging all my work peeps, except you Jorae since you tagged me. Kim, Laura, Michelle and even you, Nanci - I'm tagging you.

Las Vegas

We had a relaxing and fun vacation in Las Vegas and St George this last weekend. It was so nice to just be outside in warm, sunny weather. Eli and his cousin Aidan had a blast riding bikes, playing at the park, flying kites, seeing dolphins and white tigers and "hot-tubbing." And although our Utes lost friday night to UNLV, they did win one more game then we thought they would. The sand dunes in snow canyon were a hit with Eli, Andrew and Owen, but Jane would not even touch the sand! Uh-oh, I hope I don't have a girly-girl on my hands.
