I've been "tagged"...

I’ve been tagged by my former roommate and friend EmmaLee. I really enjoyed reading and learning 7 things I didn’t know about her so I will be a good sport and participate.

Here I go…7 things about me you probably didn’t know:

1. I have to wear a Depends undergarment when I jump on the trampoline with my kids. True story and every mom out there knows (or has experienced) what I’m talking about. I don’t actually wear one but I only have a small window of jump time because I will pee in my britches.

2. My nickname is Kissy. Kissy Coo to be exact. My dad gave it to me when I was a baby. I used to torture my brother Wes by pinning him to the ground and kissing his cheeks until he cried. Dad used to call me Kissy when we were out in public or even worse, when guys would pick me up for dates.

3. My Mom almost named me Summer. My birthday is in July and she liked the name. Summer Sorensen…I don’t know about that, though. Or Summer Hammond, too much "m" action going on.

4. I used to twirl baton and I was in a baton group for a few years called the Rangerettes. I got to the point where I could twirl 2 batons at once. My goal (once I got to be a teenager) was to twirl the FIRE batons. It was so awesome and kind of scary to watch! My teacher Becky stopped teaching to raise a family so I never got to live out my fire baton dream. Hmm…I wonder if they sell those on ebay…

5. I can whistle really loud. A useful skill I’ve learned along the way.

6. I play the drums. My dad has played for years and he started teaching Wes and I when we were about 5. I was a band geek for years but I didn’t play in high school. My uncle Kelly, Wes and I had a band when I was a teenager, it was so much fun! Our band name was "KissyKillerWhiskers"- all of our nicknames. Wish I had my own drum set…I play when I go home to Utah for visits.

7. I haven’t broken any bones so far.

I’m now tagging Amanda Jane- my bf since our days at Vernal Junior High. You're it!

How sad that I never knew that was your nickname. :( The batons, the drums, the whistling.... I am jealous, I was never musically inclined. I am going to look on ebay though to see if I can find you some batons that catch fire... :) Thanks for sharing Kissy

Thanks for being a good sport! You are one of those well rounded people that can do everything and look cute at the same time! Look at my unfortunate name (talk about too many mmmmmms).

Holy crap - I didn't know a lot of this stuff about you - does that mean I'm a horrible friend?

I think you've been hiding too many things from me! I learned some awesome things today Kissy!

Can't wait to go to lunch soon. I know your favorite place in AZ is Costa Vida. :)
