25 Random "Cori Quirks"

I may not get to 25 but I will try. . .

1. Sometimes I'm pretty sure I have a split personality. I have major mood swings. Shaun never knows what he's getting. This song was written for me.
2. I waste my mornings when I could be getting so much done.
3. I love reality TV shows. No one is allowed to bother me while watching them.
4. I often sit for hours wondering how to improve the look of my home and how to convince Shaun that it is necessary.
5. I love DisneyLand.
6. I let myself go and I make sure my kids look perfect at all times.
7. I refuse to laugh at my husbands humor because if I did, it would give him more incentive to try to be funny.
8. I hate hard water spots on sinks and faucets.
9. I have anxiety when I think of what might be under or behind my appliances.
10. I hate walking in the bathroom with bare feet (even though the floor is clean).
11. I can't stand the thought of my kids dropping their toothbrush on the floor and then brushing with it.
12. I wipe down door handles in our home at least every other day.
13. Slobber on pillow cases makes me sick.
14. I love the smell of rain or wet dirt (it actually smells clean to me).
15. I love to see snow fall from the sky.
16. I love competition, anything extreme.
17. I bite my nails, and pull my eye lashes.
18. I use Huggies Baby Wipes for many things, especially cleaning shoes.
19. When I am asked to do something I always go overboard and never half-ass it.
20. I am a schedule freak and follow instructions perfectly. I get frustrated when others don't.
21. I am a horrible backseat driver - Poor Shaun.
22. I swear (It's been a bad habit since I was a kid).
23. I am a list maker - for myself and my husband.
24. I procrastinate doing things I hate to do - hence, the laundry pile in my room.
25. I love to BLOG! It's my quiet time.

Tearin' It Up. . .


Shaun, Bo & Ashley did some shredding last night at Brighton. . .Bo is quite the grommet, they had a sick session on the slopes. Shaun rode fakie while taking pics and video & left a huge yardsale all over the slope (more than once), but no serious craters - thank goodness. Bo straightlines because that's the aggro thing to do, but Ashley is a serious carver.


I thought this old video I found was so cute. Bo is so critical of himself when he makes a mistake & Shaun loves to tease him, it makes him so mad.

Air Supply - Guest Appearance!



Okay, I know many of you may be too young to understand the significance of this - but tonight at Savannah's performance in
Evolutions of Dance,
Graham Russel
of
AIR SUPPLY
made a guest appearance and sang
"I'm all out of love"
with his guitar. No, really. . . I'm not kidding!
Pretty cool, I must say!

Savannah was a little disturbed
because he interrupted the dance program.

Oh yah, Savannah did a good job too (I almost forgot).

Rick Robinson's MOVE!

Savannah was able to open for
Rick Robinson's production of MOVE!
They finished the show last night. AMAZING! Such a fun show - like nothing I have ever seen. Savannah thought she was in heaven. She was so excited to finally be on a stage again.



The stage was filled with fog and lights so when Savannah walked out on stage she thought there was a fire, but as a good dancer should, she continued out to her spot and did a FABULOUS job.



Don't miss the next production from VIBE
EVOLUTIONS OF DANCE!

California! - Last Day But Not Least

Okay - I know ya'll are probably getting so sick of my Cal pics but this was our last couple of days there. After an argument with Shaun about whether to go to Six Flags or Disneyland, I won - as usual. He is as difficult as most children when they don't get their way.

This was New Years Eve. We knew we would see crowds but after many trips to Disneyland we are pros. We know where to go and at what time so there is little waiting in lines. When we arrived, Shaun and Bo went into California Adv. and Sav and I went into DL. She was very interested in seeing Pixie Hollow and TINK & her friends, of course. All Shaun and Bo wanted to do was ride Tower and Screamin over & over & over again. I just enjoy the atmosphere, parades, etc. That evening the park gave away party favors and hats for the festivities. There was live music and DJs all over and it was pretty WILD!



We had the opportunity to go to the beach a couple of times during our trip. This was honestly what the kids enjoyed the most but it so cold next to the water. Bo has been to the Ocean in Mexico many times but this was Savannah's first time at the beach. She stepped out into the tide just to get her toes wet and the wave knocked her right over. It was very cute.
