I thought of one more "little known" thing to add to the last post that is really funny so I might as well share it:
When I was 23, my friend Rachel and I flew to CA for vacation and we went to a Jars of Clay concert in LA. She is friends with them, they all went to high school together in upstate NY, and so after the concert we were hanging out on their tour bus, just the band, Rachel, myself and 2 friends that we were staying with out there. Anyway, sometimes I tend to speak before thinking (no!) and I saw this other guy hanging out near us and so I said very loudly "Hey, I'm Pam, you must be the bus driver!" He just looked at me and told me he was their manager. I think I insulted the manager of Jars of Clay! Not that there's anything wrong with being a bus driver, but c'mon. Everyone was laughing and Rachel told me much later that for a long time they would call him "hey bus driver!" as a joke.
p.s. Happy Valentine's Day everyone and I haven't posted because I was sick for a couple of days and so were the kids and I've been playing catchup around here this week :)

I've been tagged!
Ok, my friend Nikki has "tagged" me in a game where I have to list 7 little known facts about myself. So here goes...
1. I was in a commercial on MTV when I was 20.
2. For 8th grade, I was in a special program in Montreal where all my classes were in French; Religion, Science, Math, History, EVERYTHING!
3. I came in SECOND place for Friendliest and Most School Spirit my Senior year of high school, no wins though :)
4. My first missions trip was to Germany when I was pregnant with Brooke and we had to eat sausage and other nasty German food all week. It was horrible!
5. When I was 8, I hit a "home run" (or so I thought) in softball which was actually a pitiful grounder to the pitcher's mound who then overthrew first, who then overthrew second, and so on and the umpire didn't have the heart to tell me that I had to get back and stay on first base because I was screaming and crying with joy and elation!
6. I used to play the clarinet, flute and saxophone. Now? Only the guitar.
7. When I was very young, all I wanted to be when I grew up was a moviestar!
Okay, now your turn Jessica!

Boone goes to Boone !!!
Well, we went on our annual family ski trip this past weekend to Boone and Blowing Rock NC. It was so much fun! We went with the Skinners who live next door to us and the Latshaws of Atlanta. Also 2 babysitters. And we even brought our other next door neighbor Alan. So it was a total of 12 kids in a great house only 3 minutes from the slopes at Appalachian Ski Mountain. In a nutshell, Brady did amazing, Brooke and Alan did average, Boone screamed and had a temper tantrum on the bunny slope, and Brennan slept through the whole thing. Note to self: always bring a babysitter when you go on a trip, George and I and our friends were able to ski, really ski, on the hard slopes and not have to watch the little ones. Brady and his new friend Lauren did so well they were able to be on their own with no help! He is such a super stud, we can totally picture him being a ski instructor someday because he is really comfortable and at home on the slopes. He told me that he wants to ski every day, and did not want to come home in a MAJOR way. Check out the pictures...
