Facebook



So, I broke down not too long ago and signed up on Facebook. I honestly thought it was no big deal and that I would not be on it ever. WRONG... I love it! It has been there, that I have reconnected with many friends and long-distance family members. It has been fun to hear how things are going and too see everyones familys. Sometimes...well All the time...i am in denial about how old I am getting. then I get on Facebook and realize everyone I went to school with is married, has multiple kids and is looking older themselves. WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?? The other thing that has been kinda fun are these "notes" about me. Yesturday I finally decided to fill out the "25 Random thing about me" note. I honestly thought it would be alot harder, but it wasn't and it turned out to be pretty fun. Let me share...how many did you know about me??

1. I got married shortly after I turned 20 years old. I felt alot older than what 20 looks like these days!!
2. My first child (Brayden) was a preemie, born at 28 weeks. He fit in the palm of my hand. You'd never know that now, he's almost as tall as I am, and he's 11.
3. I was diagnosised with 2 types of cancer within 3 months of each other in 2001. In remission ever since :)
4. I am a Mama Bear. Generally I don't make a scene or get worked up over trivial things, but if you mess with my kid...I will fight you.
5. I have never had a mosquito bite. I think it is that I smell to sweet for their likeing!
6. My dad taught us to "Remember who you are" - this was the phrase he told us as we left the house and it was our reminder to remember who we were and the values we should uphold, etc., etc., etc. while we were away. And to this day I believe all the Cline kids still remember this. I teach our kids to do the same.
7. I absolutly HATE hearing my mother and fathers words coming out of my own mouth!! I swore this would never happen!! hahaha
8. I absolutely love surprises. The problem is, I can usually see them coming. So when someone can truly surprise me - it's the best!
9. I've been kicked out of a casino. How are you old enough to be married, but not old enough to gamble?
10. My tan is fake! - After the cancer, I finally realized sunscreen was my freind. I still can not be pastey white!!
11. The longest I've ever stayed awake (straight) is 56 hours. OUCH!!
12. The first time I met my husband was at a concert in Park City after graduation. He went with his friends and I went with mine. Both of us went to pick up on people. MISSION: ACCOMPLISHED. Little did we know that we went all the way to Park City and we had attended the same Jr High and High School Together.
13. I love camping with my family. Yes...I rough it!!
14. I have been to Disneyland 10+ times! I could do Disney every day if I could!! It is definatly more fun taking the kids!
15. I have a laundry basket of unmated socks.... anyone want to come match them all up?
16. I love blood and guts! My favorite class was Anatomy.
17. I have seen an Autopsy. not on TV!
18. I hated piano lessons as a child, but am glad my mom made me continue.
19. I LOVE listening to music, but it can drastically change my moods. (for the good or bad)
20. I would love to go tour Europe and the Meditarranian. One day!!
21. I used to sleep walk. Once I walked into my little brothers room and beat him up while sleeping. Sorry Bret!!
22. When I take perscription pain Medication after surgerys, it does not knock me out, it makes me very talkative and giggly. hahaha
23. I can not stand "Girl Drama" no matter what the age of the girl!! It drives me CRAZY!! That is why most of my girl friends think the same way, or they are men.
24. I love my kids, but I HATE HATE HATE being pregnant!! Nothing like spending 9 months over a toliet puking and an IV in my arm. Glad it will never happen again!!!
25. I am not a shy person by any means, but I hate small talk.

hahaha...who knew??

Marah turns 5!!!

Our little bug has grown up so fast!! It is hard to believe that our last is not a baby anymore!! She is continuiously reminding us "I am BIG now and I can do everything by myself"!! We always hear how time flys with children, but it is not just hearing it now...I am witnessing it! How blessed we are to have this beautiful, spirit in our home!! I often wonder how I am going to raise such a girl, with such an independant, fun-loving,spunkyness to her without going bald!! But as I recall, I myself, had that same "independant" personality ...and I turned out okay!!
I know that her spunky, stubborness will do her good one day!!
Love ya BUG...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Check out the slideshow below of Marah's journey thus far with us!

Happy Birthday Marah Bug!!
