Only 6? Really?
1. In my pantry, all of my cans have to be labels facing forward. It is a sickness that is deeply rooted in my 'ol Robyn Todd days!
2. I cannot sleep without moisturizer on my face and lotion on my feet. But hairy legs, NO PROBLEMO! Sorry, TMI.
3. All blinds must be closed at my house at dusk. I don't like the feeling of people potentially looking in at me- Like I am an animal in a cage.
4. Locking the doors. And relocking the doors. I can have my Dad to thank for instilling that one in me!
5. I have to go to sleep in a fully made bed... so if I didn't make my bed that morning after waking up, I have to make it all, and then climb in and tuck myself into bed.
6. I have 6 pillows on my bed, but only one I use. I cannot sleep on the same pillowcase more than twice. I sleep on one side the first night, then flip it over the second night. Then I will replace it with a new pillowcase. You can bet I have a plethora of pillowcases in my linen box!
PEOPLE! Sleeping on a dirty pillowcase will cause your skin to break out! No joke!
As you can tell, I have quite the bedtime routine!
I tag Mom, Angie and Amee!
p.s. Andrea, I loved your stache admission!

Top Model
On Saturday, Andrea and I got our hands on Michael's camera. This is the result:
And of course, we had to do some group shots:
We truly have been blessed with impressive photogenic talent. Should I say "Thanks Mom!" or "Thanks Dad!"?

Bubbly Beehives
Last Sunday, I was called to be the Beehive advisor of my ward. I cannot even begin to express how happy this makes me! I love Young Women's! It's the only calling I have ever had!
I'm Baaaaaaccck...
Ok, so I fell off the Blogging Bandwagon, but I have got some new amazing pictures that will provide for some great blogging material.

Summer Days (warning: this is a pathetic attempt at a blog entry...)
I cannot even begin to tell how many times I have begun a new post with pictures and everything but I never actually save it. For some reason, I have no passion for blogging anymore. It is my primary method of journaling these days, and I just have not been diligent on keeping everything updated.
So, here are some of our activities this summer in a short "nutshell" post:
Swimming As often as we possibly can.
Bug-Catching Carter has decided he likes to put bugs in his pocket. He remembers them a few hours later and finds that they are dead. We release the bug to its natural habitat (nice way of saying we dump the poor, dead thing) and Carter will always comment saying something like (and always in a bright, cheery tone), "Maybe next time he will grow up." It is really quite dreadful.
Popsicles & Ice Cream Sandwiches Our favorite summer treat.
Sleepovers in Mom's Bed I have always refused to allow Carter to sleep in my bed... But its been so hot that I cannot bring myself to force Carter to sleep in his room where it is hot and stuffy. I have large windows and my room is at the back of the house where the cool breeze from the creek blows in. Beginning tonight, we have a window air-conditioning unit, so there will be no more sleepovers in my bed.
Cars the Movie We watch it constantly.
Soccer As soon as it cools down (about 8:00pm), we go out to the backyard and kick the soccer ball around. It is my last opportunity to exert the last of Carter's energy, hoping for a painless and easy bedtime routine.
Work & School This is the most time-consuming activity of our Summer Days. Necessary but certainly not the most fun.
Well, that's about it. We are looking forward to the Fourth of July and a family camping trip planned to take place a few weeks from now. There will be a few firsts for Carter, so there should definitely be some blogging material available.

Birthday Bash!
Ok, it wasn't so much a bash, just a weekend full of fun activities.
Friday, June 6th
- I worked from 7-5. Blah.
- Went to dinner at Epic Restaurant with a group of best buds.
- Went to my mom's house with Best Buds and watched movies, opened presents and partook of a deliciously adorable cake; complements of Amee.
- Fell asleep on my mom's couch fully dressed with basically a towel as a blanket. Best Buds left me there.
Saturday June 7th (My Actual Birthdate)
- Woke up on Mom's couch and had her drive me to my house. Got in my pj's and went back to sleep in my bed until 10:30am.
- Woke up and did some digital scrapbooking and downloaded music.
- Got lunch at Subway. I love the Veggie Delite sandwich.
- Went to Sego Lily Day Spa in Murray where I soaked in a Japanese bath tub, had a 90-minute Hot Stone Massage, steamed, sauna-ed, ate snacks, drank Elixirs, slept, read. Finally, ended the spa trip with a luxurious 90-minute pedicure. Thank you Mama!! I was at the spa from 1:30-7:00!
- Went to my favorite Thai restaurant, Orchid, where I had potstickers and Yellow Curry with Chicken to go. Went back to my house with plans to watch all the movies I have been wanting to see, but remembering Carter had broken our TV two nights before. Ate food, read a book and went to bed at 9:30.
Sunday, June 8th
- Woke up to Carter arriving at my house (he was with his dad this weekend).
- Showered and got Carter and I ready for church.
- Went to church at 11:30am and I actually quite enjoyed my meetings today. Not to mention, one of my favorite people was sitting right by me in sacrament meeting! :)
- Went home, changed to cozy clothes and went to Mom's where Andrea and Jayson graced us with their presence. She made one of my favorite meals; Cafe Rio Salads (of course mine was meatless). We ate, talked, played and made some "plans" (wink wink).
Another year and another memorable birthday!

Bowling!
This weekend, I was thinking of all kinds of things Carter and I could do together today.
Swimming, playing soccer, riding bikes... Even Lagoon was a possibility.
Well, as you may all have experienced, today was cold and rainy. So, what did we do, you ask? We went bowling! It was Carter's first time and he loved it!
Carter's average speed was about 1.8 miles per hour!
1st Game - I barely beat Carter! He is pretty good!
Carter would do this move and hold it while he waited for the ball to make it down the lane. People were laughing and clapping. He provided much entertainment for the nearby bowlers!
Carter enjoying some deliciously greasy bowling alley food!
Game 2 - I showed some improvement! Hey, I got a strike!

A little peek into my soul...
I have realized that I always write about Carter (with such an endearing child, it's natural) so I thought I would write a bit about myself.
I have an obsession. I have a serious obsession. I have a shoe obsession.
I think it would be safe to say it is a borderline addiction. I try to keep myself under control by giving a pair away to D.I. for every pair I buy... that way I am giving back a little... but nevertheless, still borderline addiction, I think. Points, flats, heels, wedges- love 'em all.
So, I have put together some pictures of my favorite shoes this season. Please ignore my feet- they are in desperate need of some tender love and care. Anyone?
I am a size 5 1/2 - 6 if you'd like to check out a pair.
