PictureTag!

Yippy I got tagged. Thanks Dawn! So seven random things about me.. It will be hard to narrow it down to just seven.. =) hehe...

1.) I have been attacked by a donkey.. Yep, Jodie the donkey. She was our family pet. This is a picture of her and me during one of our many camping trips.. This donkey was the bomb! She let me dress her up, braid her hair, lay under her legs and was so gentle and sweet.. But one day out of the blue she got sick of it and attacked me. It was really scary!


2.) I love the electric guitar! This is my baby! I was practically married to it in college. I use to want to be a rock star! I haven't gotten it out of its zipper case this year! and only like out three times since we moved here! I know sad.. But I have just 1000 more things to do than I use to. Maybe when all my kids are grown and I am able to devote more practicing time, I will play again. THEN I CAN be a rocking grandma!

3.) I love football. Not to watch on TV. To play! I use to be the quarterback of an intramural flag football team.. I could throw! That's how I got nick to fall in love with me! I specifically remember playing catch with him and having a conversation about dating. (we were only friend then) I said, "Guys don't want to date girls that can throw a football better than them!" Thats why I wasn't married or something.. Well... we all know who thought it was HOT! *picture (not from that time period! The below picture was my sophomore year of high school during powder puff)

4.) I was born on the back of a horse! Ok not literally.. but I have been riding horses since I was a baby! I love horses. I always have, but developed allergies in high school so my passion died down. We always kept horses though, we are down to one now at my parents house and shes getting old. But I really want Tessa to grow up with horses too. I will have to drug myself up but I think it is an important distraction. I don't want her growing up too fast and getting into boys and make up. It seem like the little girls now are wanting to be older so much younger. I was a late bloomer with boys and makeup and I really think the horses and the country helped with that. (Picture me and my big sister Amanda)


By 7 yrs old I was ridding all by myself! I could do it all except I needed help with the cinch. (This picture I was only ~2!)



5.) I love impressionist art! I love Claude Monet.. I wish I could oil paint because I would hang it all up all over my house! its a good thing I cant then, because my house would look like a museum if i did! Impressionist art is a style in which the artist captures the image of an object as someone would see it if they just caught a glimpse of it. some of my favorites:
6.) Something most people don't know about me is I have a chopped off finger. Well, not the whole thing. Just the tip.. Yeah I accidentally cut it off when I was 7 years old on some farming machinery. I couldnt find a very good picture of it. But its my middle finger on my left hand.. we call him stubby!

7.) I have a fear of amusement parks. Mainly its the rides. (I think its more of a fear of heights. And most rides are way up high!) Anyway I was forced to go on the Twister at 6 flags when I was 10 and that's where it all started. (Twister is the biggest roller coaster in the world! I seriously thought i was going to die. I remember praying to Heavenly Father pleading that he would help me make it out alive! I lived and I have never forgot Him for that!



I tag YOU! If you looked at my post then you have been tagged!! =) i want to see more pictures!
