Here are the rules:
1.Link to the person who tagged you and post these rules on your post. (I don't really know how to do this, but I will try)
2.Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3.Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4.Comment to the people you've tagged and let them know they've been tagged.
Alright then, here I go......
1. I have skydived and bungee jumped! **Bungee jumping is worse, you have to worry about going down, AND going UP!**
2. I love to sing, BUT I am not too good:)
3. When I am shopping, I am the cheapest person in the world.
4. I love garlic. Pickled garlic, roasted garlic at Johnny Carinos, and Buddys salad!
5. I am a momma bear...Don't mess with my cubs!
6. I love to organize events, but my personal paperwork is a mess!
7. I have never been a runner...EVER! But in my mind I run all the time (like in marathons and stuff), and I LOVE the feeling!
Okay, so those are 7 things about me. Am I just too weird? Can we still be friends? Now I want to hear about you so I can decide if I can be friends with you! Just kidding....No really take the tag challenge!

Memories
I thought this looked like fun so I posted a few memories on a couple of my friends blogs who are doing this and decided to try it on mine.
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew 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. If you don't want to play on your blog then you are a party pooper...remember, every party needs one and that is why I invited you! Again...no pressure :)

Poky Pride Never Dies!
Poky Pride Never Dies. This is true. It is funny how we can still feel like we belong in High School. Whenever I am at an event when the Indianettes do their War dance, I still get chills. When I drive by Poky the words "We are loyal to you Poky High..." still come to mind. When I hear the word Highland I still get a little tense. Ya, I know that as an adult I should totally not be admitting to this. Friday night was the 2008 Blue and Black Bowl. Blue for Poky, Black for Highland. We live in the heart of Highland boundries. We moved from the heart of Poky boundries plus I am an alum. In our neighborhood we have former star Highland athletes and women who lead the Highland cheerleaders, not to mention the youth who currently attend.
Jason Ramsey coaches Poky defense and Kim, Tiffany and I all went to Poky. Our kids LOVE Poky, and we joke about how we will have to move so our kids won't go to Highland. Kim decided it would be fun to have a tailgate party before the game and paint faces, and paint hair. It was pretty funny, because the Ellis' both went to Highland, but were good sports and sat with us at the game. Their kids of course like Highland. When they were painting faces, Kymball said: Can you write "highland" across my forehead? Tiffanys daughters looked shocked and said "Ummmm, NO!"
Yes, I did let them put blue and red bows in my hair. (I totally would have let them use paint too, but I was the only adult who even did the bows---didn't TOTALLY want to stand out!) The kids all looked adorable! We had so much fun. Tiffany and I cheered like we did in high school. And all of us were good fans for the first quarter. At half time it was way past bedtime for us old fogies.
It brought back so many fun memories. It also brought back bruises on the back of my calfs! It was wonderful to see the kids have so much fun together. I loved seeing them all dressed up, filled with pride and excitement like I had. And yes, I do have a lot of crow to eat! Word of warning...trash talk is totally overrated....especially when your team does not win!

Why get a Jack-o-lantern when you have a Jaron
The tooth fairy has visited the Gordon home 2 times this week! Jaron had Mrs. Welch pull his tooth on Thursday, and last night I pulled the second one! (I feel pretty cool, because I have never pulled a tooth before.)
So tonight as I was doing homework with him I looked at him and thought "Man, Jarons smile looks just like a jack-o-lantern smile!" Gotta love Jaron--he has a great personality!
A Halloween Story
Saturday, the kids and I were able to get the Halloween decorations up! Sean reminded me of a story that happened a couple Halloweens ago. Sean has a great schedule now, but a few years ago it was pretty crazy, and he was gone ALOT.
I got the bug to put out Halloween decorations. I was probably pregnant with Emily, so it was just me and the boys. When Sean landed, he got a message from me in tears. By the time he called, I was fine, but apparently earlier that evening when I was putting out the decorations, I got spooked. They scared me so bad that I hid out in the bedroom with the doors locked! I guess I didn't want those decorations to come get me! Hahaha.
