I've been tagged!

I have to write 10 random things about me. Here goes...

1. I have freckles on my lips.

2. I became a certified scuba diver at age 12.

3. Anything I try to cook gets botched one way or another.

4. I have canyoneered (going down slot canyons with technical rappels where permits are required) in Zion at least 12 times. One hike had 13 rappels in a row.

5. I have never dyed my hair, ever.

6. I have snorkeled with humpback whales and bull sharks (one of the 3 man eaters. Tigers, bulls, and Great Whites are the 3 if you're curious.) without a cage. Both were too dangerous to scuba dive with. I am deathly afraid of sharks (well, more of the surprise attacks,) until I'm in the water with them.

7. I have been to Hawaii 4 times.

8. My perfect day consists of hiking with Brandon, Brucey, and my camera to Stewart Falls.

9. I am really really good at body surfing.

10. I can pick things up and pinch well with my toes.

Presents stacked high! What a haul!

Santa must've stopped here a few times...

Us at Christmas Eve dinner at Mom's.

Liller's getting ready for dinner.

I love the plates, goblets, and placemats. We've used them every year for Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner for as long as I can remember.

Troublemakers. They can both crawl now!

Our first big tree!

Santa?

This year Brandon and I had Christmas at my house. It was really fun, but we wish Chris M. and Mitsue could've been there. Although, I'm not sure how they would've fit. The living room was crammed beyond capacity Christmas morning. I'm sad Christmas time is over again. I love the music, decorations, and happiness you feel that time of year.

Hawaii Nov. 2007

Me and Brandy at Waimea Bay. Check out those guns! Rarrrr!

We saw lots of turtles, eels, fish, and an octopus snorkeling in Hanauma Bay. We went diving too, but there were 10 foot swells so it was a barf fest.

I look ridiculous

I couldn't get Brandon out of the water

My entire family(even my dad)went to Oahu in November. It's was chaos with that many people(12) but so fun. It was my 4th time to Oahu and Brandon's 1st. It was fun to make new memories with him there. The boys thought we shopped far too much, but hello, we're Maggards. That's what we live to do.
