Okay, so forever ago I was "tagged". I have been so behind in my blog pages (& didn't know what to write) so I have waited until now to do it.
Here are the rules:
1. Each person list 6 facts/habits about themselves.
2. At the end of the post, the player tags 6 people and posts their names, and then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment, letting them know they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog for the rules.
okay, my 6 things about myself:
1. For anyone who doesn't know by now...I am pregnant. I am due June 7th or 9th (I have heard both); I think I will just say the 8th. What most don't know is that the crazy thing in the Claytons family is that I have 2 other sister-in-laws (Jennifer & Jaidi) due that same month. Busy month for that side of the family...but it will be fun.
2. I HATE to read instructions and I am not good at it. I think I take after my Grandpa Stout (moms dad) in that he was an engineer and like to just look at things and create what he needed. I am not as creative but I can look at something and figure it out better than trying to read how to do it...it usually just confuses me and I feel like it is a waste of time. Even in school, I would do great with whatever was discussed in class but if I had to read something...help!!! I actually throw my anantomy book across the room once because it made no sense to me at all. I am very much a hands on kind of person and am not bad at it either. Brett on the other hand...drives him crazy that I won't read things. He will actually read an entire manuel to something just to know all about it...I am glad one of us will...I will just leave that up to him. I have to go to him to figure out how to work my watch all the time because HE read the manuel for MY watch. Thank goodness for him!
3. I was a bit of a cowgirl in high school. I wore the belt buckle and everything. I raised 2 pigs for FFA and really, really wanted to be a barrell racer. My neighbor (if you could call it that...they lived a mile down the road) had horses and would let me ride. I even set up barrells once and tried. I also tried team roping; it was fun but I like barrell racing better.
4. For someone who eats just about everything...I don't like cake. Of course I will eat it, but I would choose just about any other dessert first. If I do eat it, I like it after it has sat in the fridge for a while and is cold. I seems to make it less fluffy. I really don't like frosting so that doesn't help with the whole cake thing either. I always had angel food cake for my birthdays (that isn't REAL cake) so I love that or ice cream cake...but the real deal...I would rather have pie. I don't understand when cake became the birthday thing...too bad!
5. I dream to be a professional dancer. Dream in the sense that I know it will never happen but when I go and watch groups perform...my heart hurts to do what they are doing. I am not so great anymore but I was not a bad dancer, once. I just never had the training, so, I couldn't do the harder moves. I really think had I had the training I could have done it and that is why I struggle watching other people so much. I still love to go but I just want to run up there and perform with them. Oh well, it is too late now...most dancers retire by my age but at least I have a husband who is willing to learn country dance with me (if we ever find a place or the time) and that should at least help me still be able to dance what I am good at and can do.
6. I guess for the last one I would say that I get a spiritual feeling in/at 2 unique places. I feel a spirtual feeling when I am around patriotic thing (the flag, songs, events, history) I get chocked up about it at times (I know this is not that unusual...at least in my family) but thats one. The strange one is whenever I go to a library. It is almost a spritual peace and excitment to learn. I get this overwhelming desire to sit and read every book in the whole place. This may not seen that weird for people who have always loved books and to read but considering that I was not a reader growing up at all (I used the same book, which I never read, as my reading log for 3 years in high school; I only watched the movie and asked my friend who read the book what was in the book and not the movie). So, for me, it was strange to have such a spiritual and emotional drive to gain knowledge through books. This does not include instruction manuels or boring text books...I still hate those!
Okay, there you have it. Hope it wasn't too boring.
Now I tag...

Of course, Turkey Day had to start out with a Turkey Bowl! Brett and a group of guys in the area went to a local park and played football. The boys and I went to watch for the last hours or so. Besides Zea getting covered in filthy, sandy, mud it was a good time. Taft just loved to watch his daddy play football and I am excited for the day when they are all old enough to play together. They sure look up to their Dad...and with good reason!
Next, we went to the Sander house in Allentown, about an hour away. They used to be hour neighbors here but moved after he graduated from Temple dental school. They are great friends and Owen can make one seriously DELICIOUS turkey. I really don't remember ever having one that good in my life...sorry mom :0) but this was amazing. They are renting a 3 bedroom/3 story house, so, there was lots of running room for the children. They basement is one large playroom and so they spent most of their time down there. 
While my mom was in town we went to see a taping Rachel Ray in New York. A friend of mine, Jamie Bohn, got tickets for us online and there was enough for my mom to go also. We were there for 5 hours but it was fun and worth it. We got a free cookbook...bonus. My niece, Hailey, in california is 5
