6 Things About Me


Here is Sheriee's response to Kate's "tag". Hayley is the scribe for this post because grandma is rocking the baby. Because mom is mom, she gets to put 7 things, even though it's only supposed to be 6. And that's final.


A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.

B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.

C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.


1. One of my favorite things to do is bake and cook. I love to give treats to my family and friends. I like to try new recipes and bake things from scratch and make rich deserts. I love to make Christmas candy. I learned to bake from my mom, Vern's mom, Aunt Agda and just from experience.

2. I like to be well-groomed and shop for new clothes, shoes, earrings....especially shoes. I have been known as a shoe freak since junior high. I like to smell nice. Love Spell from Victoria's Secret is my favorite smell.

3. I like teenagers. I love working with them in church. I seem to connect really well with them and I feel like I'm a big grown-up teenager and a teenager at heart.

4. How can I say this one...I KNOW that I have 4 great-looking children and in-law children and the most beautiful 8 grandkids. A lot of people think they have awesome families but I really know that my family is especially exceptional.

5. I am in love with my husband. This shouldn't be a surprise but I honestly enjoy him and we have so much fun together. I love traveling with him and going out and doing things with him and going to the lake with the family. I feel like we are a great combination and have great chemistry. It's hard to put into words.

6. I love serving others. I have found it to be one of the most rewarding experiences in my life, really.

7. Here are some of my ideas that make life Heavenly: See's candies (butterscotch squares), a good romance movie, a dip in the swimming pool, going to the temple with myhusband and children, pedicures/manicures/massages, Grandma times, rocking newborns (which I'm doing right now!), watching my children interact with each other (kindly), watching the men give their wives and hug and a kiss, receiving a hug and a kiss from my hubby, Vern tickling my arm and rubbing my hands, spending time with friends, and finally, sweet, sweet treats.


Now that I'm done, I tag everyone who hasn't been tagged, yet. This includes all Staub boys and Velvet and Amber (and Vern, when I get home).

Halloween 2007







Chloe and Chany had a great time at the Halloween Boo Bash at the church. Birthdays are always great for me because we get to dress our cuties up and hit the town. Papa was there, and he helped Channing with the archary range and the pistol shoot. Before that we all went trick or treatin' around the hallways, which Chloe especially loved, though she was scared (it was dark). She really liked that all you did was walk up to someone, and they told you how cute you are and topped it off with a piece of candy. Wouldn't life be great if it was always like Halloween? Everywhere you went people just complimented you and handed you free candy? It's kind of like the ideal world.
