My 25

My mom tagged me through e-mail, then Kourtney tagged me through her blog. It took a while but I finally came up with 25 things about me...

1. I stole my brothers best friend...and I'm glad I did! When I was 14, Blaine started hanging out with this guy. He was a cutie. Very popular and older. It was summer. He was going to be a senior, me a freshman. Like I stood a chance. Still, Blaine brought him camping with us and he caught a chipmunk and chased me around the campfire with it. I chased him when we played capture the flag, and I skinned my knee. I got to sit by him once in his truck and he touched my leg...I was in heaven! Finally I caught his eye one night while I was talking on the phone. He came over to see Blaine, I was wearing short brown koolots (you remember those right?!) and he soon became just as hooked on me as I was on him! My dad told me a few night later after I set by him on the couch and later walked him out to his truck "DON'T GET SERIOUS." We were married 4 years later!

2. My favorite thing about myself is my toes. I just like them. I look at other peoples toes to see if they are as cute as mine...they usually aren't!

3. I've never wanted to go to college. Ever since I was a freshman the only thing I knew I wanted to do was get out of school so I could marry Beau. I got a part time job at the county. Within a few weeks it turned into full time. Two months later I was engaged!

4. I like to doodle. I'm not very good at it though. Beau makes fun of my farm animals. He says my puppy looks like a pile of rocks.

5. Beau is a better cook than me. He can whip up something fabulous right off the top of his head. I have to have a recipe.

6. I'm not very smart. Sometimes I pretend to know what other people are talking about just so they won't know that I don't know. Later I'll ask Beau and he'll laugh at me and I have to pry it out of him to finally tell me what the heck everyone was talking about!

7. I'm not a sissy girl. I shot my first elk when I was a junior in high school. I worked for a construction/cabinet company for 2 years in HS and helped build the fire house here in town along with a whole bunch of kitchen cabinets for peoples houses, reroofed the old folks home in Holbrook, can drive a tractor, haul hay (although I prefer not to). Pretty much anything that Beau or my dad needs help with, I'll try.

8. Ever since I got Mason potty trained I can't stop pinching his little butt cheeks! They are so cute in his big boy underwears!

9. I bug Beau almost every day for a massage. Poor guy. He is probably grateful when he gets to go OTR and doesn't have to worry about me saying "Will you rub my back?" "Will you rub my butt?" I can't help it-I'm pregnant-my body hurts-and Beau can help!!!

10. I love to vacuum. I do it almost everyday. I can't help myself. The floor looks so much better when its just been vacuumed.

11. I HATE the wind, dirt and weeds. But I love living in J-City. Its such a good place to raise a family and I loved growing up here. So of course we want that for our kids too!

12. I don't care if I never ride a 4-wheeler again. After my accident I tried, but I was so afraid of wrecking again and never seeing my kids again. Beau just got frustrated with me and ended up selling it!

13. I am HORRIBLE at giving directions. I know where its at. I just can't tell you how to get there.

14. I like to collect ink pens. Ya know- for all my doodling. Especially if they make my handwriting look cute. I have a really hard time throwing them away too. Beau gets mad when he has to dig through all my pens to find one that'll write!

15. I am so bad at keeping surprises a secret. I just can't do it! I want everyone to know. I end up spoiling peoples presents or giving them their presents early just because I am too excited to wait!

16. I cry every time I watch "A baby story" on TLC. I only watch this show when I am pregnant. But I cry every time.

17. When my boys go to school sometimes I'll sneak their nintendos and play Super Mario Brothers. Its so fun! Its just like when I was little and me and Blaine would play together.

I should mention that Blaine and Kourtney play them every time they visit too...so its not just me.

18. I hate leaving my boys to go on vacation or something without them. I am constantly worrying about them. When the bus comes to get them in the morning, I watch them until it drives away. I told Hayden they can't walk to school until he is in 6th grade and just thinking about that scares me. Is that bad?

19. Sometimes I dream that my dad is mad at me and it makes me worried. I never want my dad to be mad at me.

20. I want to get a boob job when I am done having kids. Now you know. So in a few years if you see me around looking good, like somethings different and you just don't know what it is...you'll know.

21. I wear my little sisters hand me downs. And I love them! Its cuz she is so much taller then me and Zach will try to be nice and do the laundry and he'll shrink her clothes so I get them. Bad for Kourtney. Bad for Zach. Good for me.

22. I watch a soap opera. Don't judge me. I know.

23. I don't like it when people call me Jessi. I don't mind Jess as much. Brigette calls me Guessa or Jessa and I like that. Its pretty cute! When Ash was a baby she called me ca-ca. Thats not my favorite either.

24. My favorite homemade icecream is butterfinger, but I don't like butterfinger candy bars.

25. Sometimes I get jealous of Mason because Beau likes to snuggle him so much. I'm supposed to be the one who gets all the snuggles! I guess I really can't blame him though...Mason is so fun to snuggle!

I LOVE your lists. Seriously, I love em. I love that you mentioned koolots! haha.
And on the smart thing...ME TOO! I love to just nod my head and agree then later I have to google whatever they were talking about...haha. that's what we get for not going to college. haha (ok, I did, but I took pottery, poetry and cooking)
I'm glad you're a butt pincher too. I'm the same way with my untrained Bossy, I like when he wears the big boy pants, his little bum is so squishy!
I agree with #11 too.
Amen to baby story too..especially this weeks!
Let's go get a boob job together. I've got a few friends that are also waiting to get their last out so they can get the mommy makeover.
Ok, I really could comment on every single one, but I'll stop.
