42. I want to get a nose job because I hate my nose but I am scared so I don't know if I ever really will.

47. Kasey played basketball in high school and they were state champs his senior year. He also played baseball, football, and tennis. Yes he is very athletic. He beats me at everything.

61. Stockton's umbilical cord took 5 weeks to fall off!
62. When we got married Kasey did all the house work. Oh how times have changed.

64. Stockton broke his wrist when he was 14 months old and his clavicle (collar bone) when he was 3.
65. I don't like chocolate. I am learning to tolerate it the older I get but I really don't like it.
66. Stockton's nicknames are Stocky and Puka. When he was little he started calling everything puka all the time so it just became his nickname. But most of the time I just call him the little devil.
67. Hunter doesn't really have a nickname. He gets mad when we call him a different name because he thinks we are teasing him.
66. Most of the time my family calls me Aud. Some other random nicknames from way back would be scooter (only from my Dad), August, snod, Audrilla, and there are probably more that I can't think of.

68. We had a dog named Moose. He was a pomeranian. He was a little shit. He barked all the time. He died. I was sad. But I don't miss him. I am probably going to hell.
69. I play the piano and the violin. But I am way out of practice on both.
70. Kasey and I's favorite place to vacation would probably be New York City. We LOVE the big apple. Someday we want to live there for a little bit. (only a little while though)

72. Kasey and all his sisters names start with K.
73. I love staying at home with my kids and hope to always be able to stay home with them.
74. I don't like eggs, mustard, tomatoes, guacamole, oatmeal or sour cream. I'm sure there are more I just cant think of them at the moment. Kasey calls me high maintenance food girl. Whatev!
75. I  can't eat things that as super creamy and smooth, like pudding. It makes me puke. I am totally a texture person. If it is too creamy I cant eat it.
76. We have a tradition of opening PJ's on Christmas eve. 
77. I am a perfectionist. I am far from perfect.
78. I don't watch rated R movies and I hate scary horror movies!!!
79. I get really nervous when I am riding in the car with anyone driving besides Kasey. Even he scares me sometimes. I'm a way bad backseat driver.
80. Hunter is a very cautious child. Like when we are driving by a cliff he gets all nervous that we are going to fall down it and die.
81. Stockton is a little comedian and loves to make people laugh. He is very aware of his comedic efforts and has been since he was very young.
82. Hunter is very good about eating his vegetables. I just tell him "Oh these are your favorite, you love these" and then he thinks he loves them. But I really do think he loves them. I am trying this with Stockton but not having quite as much success.
83. My favorite ice cream is pralines and cream from the Schwan man, but I don't think they make it anymore. One time I at a whole carton by myself in one day. MMmmm, so good!

89. We are really bad with being scheduled and I really want to change this.
90. We went to Disneyland in April and can't wait to to back. We had an amazing time!
91. I am crazy afraid of bees. I start freaking out when they start buzzing around and Kasey gets mad at me and tells me to quit freaking out.
92. I am also way afraid of heights. Even when I am watching a movie and they are up high I can't relax because I am waiting for them to fall.
93. We have a temperpedic bed and we love it.
94. When Hunter was a baby he said puc instead of cup. It took a long time to get him to be able to say cup.

I do love you cuz I did read it all the way through. I wanted to see how many times you mentioned ME, but you never did. (Just kidding!!!) I guess you could consider that one about wanting to move back to Logandale sort of about us cuz I just know you want to move back because you miss us SOOOOOO bad! hehe :)

Love ya!

P.S. The one about Moose made me laugh so hard I thought I would wet my pants! You know you loved him!

The bed wetting thing has got to suck. I'm trying to potty train Holden with very little success.

Who are your favorite HGTV designers? I love Candance Olsen.

It was really fun reading through your 101.

I know Iliana finished FLIPPED. I'm not sure who has dibs on it next. You should give her a call.
