Ok Jess, here we go! I have random quirks just like anyone else. When I asked Brian about them he helped me come up with a couple.
1. I LOVE hot water. HOT, HOT water. I am usually bright red when I get out of the bath.
2. I will sometimes just burst out random bits of the song that is running through my head at the moment. Someone (Jessica) once told me though that I am not Celine Dion and should keep it to myself :)
3. I make lists for everything! Grocery shopping, cleaning, to do, packing, etc. If I don't write it down, I will most likely forget. Plus it just feels so good to cross stuff off!
4. I hate spelling and grammatical errors. I will even find them in books that I am reading and think, "the editor missed that?" Such as when someone wrote they went to a ceiling instead of sealing. UGGH! I am getting better though.
5. I remember the most random things. Things like what job my old college roommate's sister had while we were living together; or that Arctic char is a mix between a salmon and trout. Yet sometimes I can't even remember my own age, (I told someone I was 25 the other day).
6. Brian mentioned that I am hopeless when I am reading a good book. I can't multi-task because I am engrossed in it, (do you think he is remembering the recent Twilight Series re-read?).
7. I need ideal conditions if I am going to sleep. No light, no noise, no one touching me and LOTS of blankets. Even if I am hot, I have to have something covering me to sleep. I really wish that this wasn't true and that I could sleep through a hurricane like Brian, but alas tis not so!
8. I hate socks. Except for the fuzzy ones I occasionally wear to bed. Even then, I kick them off in the middle of the night.
If you can think of any others, don't be afraid to comment!

Another Haircut
Things are not looking good in terms of "body maitenance" for Cole. This is his 4th haircut and he is only 7 months old. I am predicting that he'll start shaving in junior high. 
After a lot of flack from Aunt Mandy, we got our good friend Maurianna to cut Cole's hair last weekend.
We just went ahead and buzzed the whole thing with the clippers. He looked slightly military-like the first two days but it has already grown in!
Here's a couple of the after shots!
This is a pic that we had to add of his many new faces (there's more every day)...he likes to suck in his bottom lip for some reason. All in all we think we're going to have to schedule him in for every 5 weeks or so because I am still too afraid to do it myself!

Video Highlights
Here's a little taste of our video footage. Make sure that you pause the music on the left so you can hear the sound. There is lots of screaming and laughing as you may notice. The quality isn't perfect since I don't have a "premimum membership". We had a great time parasailing and the zip line was awesome! This is Brian and I racing on the final line (I won of course). I realize that I can never be in a profession where I have to wear a helmet and that I should never live where there is humidity...or else I may just have to shave my head! The dancing is at our table on the last night. Check out Brendon's version of the Macarena. Note Mandy's face when she watches Cameron dance-priceless!
Mexico
So I'm a little late catching up...can you blame me? I know that the FL crew still wants to see the pictures from the rest of our vacation. How can you shove a week of fun and hundreds of pictures, with stories that accompany them, into one post? I've decided to just take the easy way out and make two LARGE slideshows (each about two minutes) just hitting the highlights. I do have a life outside of blogging and would like to spend some time with my family on this wonderful Sunday :) So beware...the slide shows are big. Have you met Brian, have you met his mother?? They love to take LOTS of pictures and for that we're grateful because we have everything documented! I broke them up so that the screen doesn't time out on you. So here's to media and great websites that make it easy to show off all of your pics!

Dogs For Sale
Just kidding. If you would have asked me earlier this morning though, I would have given them to you! They may look innocent, but they are so guilty! 
We knew that it was either going to be really great, or really ugly when Lily (my sister's miniature schnauzer) joined our family. Leilani and Lily are friends and have spent weeks at a time together in Idaho. However, being sequestered to a fenced-in backyard does not seem to suit them.
Nevermind that Leilani has been a "city dog" practically her whole life, when the two of them get together, it spells trouble. They have managed to escape multiple times a day almost every day this week. Luckily, someone has seen them do it and we are able to recover them quickly. This morning however, my door bell rings and there is a nice man there with my dog on a leash saying that he found her two streets over (thank goodness for dog tags with addresses)! I mention that there was another dog and he says that he hasn't seen it. The Relief Society president hears my sister walking up the street calling Lily's name and hands her the escapee. They have torn up their dog beds too, which is something that never used to happen. 
I don't think it is the whole "Homeward Bound" theory because they seem just as happy to be sunbathing on the deck as taking an adventurous romp around the neighborhood.
Oh well, I guess this is what you get when your dog that is used to roaming 5,000 acres gets put in a backyard in Sandy, with an accomplice.
