LOVED IT! ok, I really like that everyone is doing this, but don't know if I could think of that many things about me...at least that many that might be even the littlest bit interesting.

STEPHANIE said...

That was awesome! I learned stuff about you I didn't know! Why in the world do you love getting shots? That is crazy!!!!

Anonymous said...

I learned so much! I've been thinking about doing this one too so watch for it. And I think I don't like you very much for #47. Not fair!

Lori and Cameron said...

So cute and looks like it took so much time, my gooodness! I will noy be doing that one. I am barely catching up on other pictures. Don't I have pictures of you in Jackson Hole with us?? I only remember because I was SCRAPBOOKING and saw the pics. Very cute. Jace is getting so cute and big, I can't wait to get those two together! Beware, he was body slamming the other babies at the Super Bowl party tonight.

Kim said...

So fun! It took me like 3 days to do it~ but I love reading about everyone and you tend to find out things that don't come up in casual conversation : )

Jamie said...

You are great and you love scrapbooking you just don't know it yet!

bmitchellfamily said...

That was a great! It brought back a lot of memories just reading it! You are so funny! How long did that take you? I don't think I could think of 100 interesting things about me.

Jayme said...

I found out so many new things about you... and laughed at the ones i knew about... ha ha ha.... softball in the face! that was when you were playing center field when we were like 12 wasn't it?? I miss those days! did you write that you hung yourself on a nail? can't remember reading that one!

Amanda said...

David and Jana said...

So fun! I learned so many things about you. I have to say that I loved #33 and that I am the same, I would love to be on the Price is Right! A girl after my own heart...

The Wi Family said...

Way to go! That was impressive and so fun to get to know you better! So many interesting things about you. What a great person you are!

I enjoyed reading about/getting to know you. I grew up with Justin, I think we have known each other since kindergarten. (He referred me to your blog). You sound like an amazing person, mom and wife. I have always thought the world of Justin. It is fun to keep updated and to glimpse into your family life. Please tell him "hi" for me. And your little Jace is absolutely adorable!
