... as simple as do re mi...

I am responding to Marianne's ABC tag, adding Emily's twist of guessing Jonny's answers, and adding my own element of attempting Julia's as well! My answer will be first, then Jonny's, then Julia's. Wish me luck...

A - Attached or Single: We are all completely attached to each other and we girls DO NOT LIKE IT when daddy goes away on business - which happens more often lately.
B - Best Friends: M&J-Each other, Julia, Emily, all family, and so many unrelated friends it's impossible to list them all here/Ju-anyone who smiles at me (Matt, I do love you, just give me a little more time to warm up to you and your glasses)
C - Cake or Pie: M-carrot cake or ice cream cake/J-ice cream cake or that one oatmeal cake Mom and Amber make/Ju-Does it have sugar in it? Then yes.
D - Day of choice: Friday for all of us. Total and complete. Well, maybe Saturday for Julia because she gets to play with Daddy more on that day.
E - Essential Item: M-water bottle, chapstick/J-my cell phone (especially now that I have the internet on it)/Ju-Mommy, the Dairy Queen (as Jonny says)
F - Favorite Color: M-various shades of green, currently/J- blue/Ju-whatever color any jewelry in sight is - I am mesmerized and unsatisfied until I have it in my little hands...and mouth
G - Gummy Bears or Worms: the big cinnamon gummi bears. They are the best. Also, the round gummis from Poland. The others aren't worth our time/Ju-I'm sure I will someday agree with my parents on this one. They are so wise in the ways of gummis.
H - Hometown: M-Pleasant Grove, UT/J-Durango, CO/Ju-American Fork, UT
I - Indulgence(s): M-chocolate milk, hint of lime tortilla chips, lots more things that I can't think of right now/J-cheesecake (strange, I know, considering I will not eat cream cheese and many things made with it)/Ju-cruelly small amounts of ice cream
J - January or July: July all around. We all can't wait to start a summer of hiking!
K - Kids: Yes, we love little friends.
L - Life is incomplete without: M-my two lovies/J-my two girlies/Ju-my two big friends
M - Marriage Date: M&J-May 21, 2005/Ju-TBA
N - Number of Siblings: M- 2 brothers, 4 sisters/J- 1 brother, 4 sisters/Ju-TBA
O - Oranges or Apples: M- Oranges. Just bought a huge box at Macey's. I think I have eaten 10 this week!/J-oranges, especially when Melody peels them for me/ Ju- probably oranges, though I have never tried one. But I did try applesauce and it is completely disgusting. Do people really enjoy that!?
P - Phobias or Fears: M-mice/J-bees/Ju-the vacuum, Uncle Matt's glasses
Q - Quotes: M-in honor of election year, "Let men be good and government cannot be bad."-Thomas Paine/J-"Nazis, I hate these guys"-Indiana Jones. (Okay, that is totally a joke, He loves those movies but I think the scripts are so cheesy!)/Ju- "Daddy's home!"
R - Reason to smile:M-too many to count, and I second Emily's/J-It's Friday/Ju-Anything resembling a camera is pointing my direction, and when anyone smiles at me.
S - Season: M-Spring and Fall/J-Summer/Ju-Summer, so my chubby legs can hang out.
T - Tag Three Friends/Family: M-Sarah, Esther, Ashley/J-Taylor, Austin, Baby Dallin/Ju-Nana Jan, Papa Steve, Great Grandpa Scott
U - Unknown fact about me: M-I still have two Utah Olympics mini-tissue packs that I loaded up on at a ski resort six or so years ago. I don't think you could call it stealing, there was a whole basket there for the taking! (Okay, I do feel a little ashamed that I stuffed my ski pants full of them. )/J- I used to play "Baptism" in the tub with my brother. Since I didn't know the words, I said, "Ding da dong da ding ding dong" and dunked him!/Ju- Poop-outs are extremely rare these days.
V - Very favorite store: M-IKEA, with house-buying and all/J-Um, Home Depot, I wish I could say I frequented it. (???) Oh, and IKEA, just to buy those one cookies/Ju-I don't mind being in the cart anywhere as long as I can play with Mommy's keys.
W - Worst habit: M-one of them is not using Julia's nap time wisely. Oops, I guess I should be cleaning the house right now./J-tickling Melody when I know she does not like it./Ju-picking up anything and everything off the floor and eating it. Isn't that what even the tiniest specks of lint are meant for?
X - X-ray or Ultrasound: M-there's nothing like seeing your own baby inside of you, it's miraculous and beautiful/J-see Melody's, but insert "your wife" for "you"/Ju-Yes, the video of me is totally amazing. My mommy showed it to the second grade class she was student teaching a the time. She was slightly insulted when they said it was scary and I looked like a skeleton. Then she remembered they were second graders.
Y - Your favorite food: M-too many to list, but to name just a few-any and all fruit, rice pudding, BYU Creamery mint-cookie ice cream, Jonny's green chile and burritos, Serious Texas Tacos, and surely EVERYTHING Emily posts on her food blog (I hope to try all of it someday)/J-My mom's beef stroganoff, Potato-lover's salad, Serious Texas Tacos, oreos, BYU Creamery mint cookie ice-cream, grape-nuts
Z - Zodiac: I don't actually know. Bummer of a last one.

That is so fun! We are soooo excited to finally meet the little one and see you two of course! What is Julia's fav food?

Emily said...

I love it! But I'm sure not everything I make would be in your favorite category. Thanks for the compliment though. Your essentials are also on my list. I...need...chapstick. And bingo on the cinabears. I am now wanting those. Make sure Ju sees a lot of pictures and videos of me before I come so she's not scared. I be sure to NOT bring my glasses.

Cami said...

What is with Matt's glasses? Will she also be afraid of Drew??

I agree on the ultrasound--I mean, X-rays usually involve some sort of broken bone or something. Ultrasounds are more often fun times.

This was very fun and I'm glad I got to hear all those answers. Also, Julia, I like July too, so my chubby legs can hang out. :)

Oh, I loved reading the tag. It made it so interesting to read three answers.

Marianne said...

Yeah for Drew coming home any day! And I also had to share with you that tomorrow is my final day of student teaching. I can't believe that ten weeks has already gone by. Did we play games right before I started? Crazy. Anyway- I'm excited. Hopefully we'll get to do our crepe/game night soon:)
