Whoa, I've been TAGGED!

I have been a lurker on so many blogs for a while now so I know most of the INs and OUTs of blogging. Never did I think I'd get tagged so quickly!

I have been tagged by Brooke. Thanks for starting me off right!

Whoa! "I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm so....scared". NOT! But do you know where that line is from? (Just a little bit of trivia for ya)

Six random things about myself:

1. I LOVE ketchup. I don't just like it, I LOVE it...from eggs to cheese doritos to grilled cheese sandwiches and Original Lays potato chips I love it. I kid you not, I use at least a half of a bottle while eating breakfast or lunch in a restaurant. I've been bet on for my love of ketchup and WON. The bet was that after I piled TONS of ketchup on my hamburger that I was bound to have a least one splat on the plate. L-O-V-E.

2. I make THE BEST potato salad. It is my own recipe and is so freaking good. Compliments are always given when I make it.

3. I was so shy growing up that I couldn't call and order a pizza. I never played ANY sports because I didn't want people to come and watch me play, and yet I was Senior Class President

4. My husband and I are trying to get pregnant :)

5. I LOVE entertaining. I do it ALL the time. We have sweet gatherings for any reason at all.

6. I know TONS of random lines from Cocktail and La Bamba and often perform them while camping

The "rules" of the game are as follows:
1. Post the rules on your blog
2. Write 6 random things about yourself
3. Tag 6 people at the end of your post

I am now tagging:

Lake Day(s)

Whoa! That was a huge mistake...a post with only pictures?

Here is my brief recap of our outings:

We decided to go to the Lake since my Dad would be camping for one day (Friday). He had his spot and we swung by to pick up him and his baby Lucy (Jack Russell). We spent the whole day with family and friend on the lake.

Here I am with Baby J- He HAD to be in the driver's seat (almost) at all times

Mr and Mr.s M

The J Family

Dad and Lucy

These are in the wrong order, I know but each time I try to upload my pictures it always puts the last ones first. Help anyone? I use the "Add Image" tool and can't seem to figure it out. I guess from now on I'll just add in the last pictures first.

Getting ready to go to the lake

No room for our baby Claudius :(

Baby J's first life jacket and first time on a boat

Dad and Baby J- He loved the water

We went to the lake the following Monday too (9/29). I do have more pictures of that day however, I think I'll add them in a seperate post since I'm having trouble with the "add image" tool.

Mini Vacation

Ok, so we've been back from the lake for a while now and I have ALREADY been slacking off on my blog.

We had a GREAT trip!

Our new trailer is so awesome, I don't know how we ever managed without it. We went out fishing everyday we were there and caught a lot of fish. My mom (is deathly afraid of water) had no problem jumping on the pontoon boat and had fun on it. Mr. M and I are now thinking about trading in the Chaparral for a pontoon!
