Alex at Only Human passed this one on to me.   Thanks so much! Isn’t it cute?  I haven’t seen this one before.  As always, it comes with rules, that I tend to break.
1. Thank the person who nominated you, and link back to their blog.
2. Pass along the award to 7 other bloggers that you think have beautiful blogs.
3. Say 7 things about yourself.

Yeah I’ll get back to #2 and #3.  Maybe LOL.

Brianne at Photog Nazi, Katie of Katie Talks About and Tina at Life Without Pink have given me this award.  Thank you, ladies!  I’m supposed to come up with another seven things.  I swear I am NOT that interesting.

Tina also awarded me with this one.  I want to lick the cupcakes every time I see it. Yum!

Da Rules:

1. Copy and paste the award on your blog.
2. List who gave the award to you and use a link to her blog (or hyperlink).
3. List 10 things that make you happy.
4. Pass the award on to other bloggers and visit their blog to let them know!

This one is from Shelle at Mommy Can’t Sing.  Thank you Shelle!  It’s got rules too.  When given this award you are supposed to share 10 honest things about yourself and then give the gift to 10 other bloggers.

Again with the stuff about me!  Argh.

Here’s my abridged rules.  I’m going to go with the 10 things that make me happy, and I am going to link a handful of bloggers.  And then I’m going to pass these awards on to YOU.

6. My friends that live inside my computer.
7. Dairy Queen.

Sonora at Twinfinity gave me an award!! Thank you so much!!

Here are the rules for this award:

-Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
-Copy the award & place it on your blog.
-Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
-Tell us 7 interesting things about yourself.
-Nominate 7 bloggers.

Seven interesting things… here we go.

1. I would like to finish school though at some point… after all my kids are in school themselves. However I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up.
2. I am so over the cold weather. I think living in Hawaii ruined me for winter. I have no desire to live anywhere it snows now, and I used to love to ski!
3. I gave birth to an almost nine pound baby naturally- only to have a c-section for a 1 pounder.
4. I often stay up all night, distracted by the internet, stuff I have DVRed, a project. Then I get all backwards and it takes me WEEKS to get back into a normal sleep pattern.
5. I have five tattoos, and would love tons more.
6. In 2006 we refinanced our house with the intentions of using the money to update our kitchen but instead took all five kids on an impromptu 10 day vacation to Florida where we did all the theme parks. I don’t regret it at all, those memories will last forever.
7. When I was dating my husband, he told me he wanted eight kids. He claims now that he was joking… LOL

I tag…
-Miranda @ Sometimes I Even Amaze Myself. She cracks me up.
-Saffy @ Minx’s Adventures in Wellywood. I love reading about a baby close in age to my boys who is in another country, and how they do things there.
-Debbie @ Loving Rylie, Missing Sophie, Raising Finn. She needs to post more often!
-Alicia @ Bethsix. Anyone who plays WoW gets uber leet bonus points in my book.
-Kristy @ I love you to the moon and back. She needs some lovin’s and I don’t want her to go too long without posting again.
