I got tagged a while ago by Mandi. It was supposed to be just 5 facts about yourself, but I have seen this on other people's blogs so I changed it up a little. I wanted to see if I could come up with 101 things about me. Honestly it is harder than you think. So here you go. More things than you probably ever wanted to know about me:1. I am 28
2. I have 5 kids-2 sets of twins and 1 cute little thing in the middle.
3. I am very particular about certain things, and I don’t care about others.
4. I used to be social.
5. I love spending money- on me, on others, on practically anything, even just plain groceries.
6. I hate, hate, hate moths.
7. Trent and I are the perfect match. I make messes, he cleans them up.
8. I actually like to cook. It’s coming up with what to cook that is the problem.
9. I like to feed people and have parties. I think secretly I am trying to make people chubbier than me! ; )
10. I feel guilty every night, because of my parenting issues.
11. My kids deserve better than me. Who knows why we are blessed with so many.
12. I am a picker.
13. I have to have my toenails cut short, very short. And I always like it better if my toenails are painted a fun, bright color.
14. I loved taking notes in school. Trying to do cute handwriting and outlines. I am a nerd.
15. I used to be smart.
16. I am a Registered Nurse and I think any girl should go into nursing if they want a flexible job and be a mom at the same time.
17. I hate hair. It grosses me out. I could never work as a hair dresser.
18. I hate other people’s feet. Especially old people.
19. I find it is easier to change a 1 year olds diaper than an 80 year olds.
20. I have one of the saddest jobs, but I love it.
21. I could have spaghetti everyday and never get sick of it.
22. I LOVE cheese. Cheese makes most everything taste better.
23. My ankles are the only thing I don’t complain about.
24. The toilet paper roll MUST go over.
25. I love opening a new can of creamy peanut butter. I love how smooth it looks and can’t wait for the first taste.
26. I am addicted to buying watches. Every time I hit the outlets I have to make a purchase. It is a good thing I don’t go up there more than once a year.
27. My favorite ice cream is plain vanilla. Give me a soft serve cone from McDonalds and I am happy.
28. I have no patience what so ever.
29. I love scrapbooking, but never find time to do it. But continue to buy supplies. (I guess I would have time if I didn’t sit around and blog and think of 101 things about myself. Duh)
30. I have geographic tongue and passed it onto Aiden.
31. I don’t understand why girls wear uncomfortable shoes. As Special K would say, “Do they serve an orthopedic function?”
32. There was a time I was afraid we would never have kids. Now look at us.
33. I cannot handle high maintenance people.
34. Sometimes I feel like my life is like the movie “Groundhogs Day.”
35. I hardly ever do my hair or wear make up. I am the epitome of a worn out mom.
36. I never really travelled anywhere until I met Trent. And now I LOVE it.
37. I wish I had my parent’s non-spending habits.
38. I like nice things. I hate buying something cheap and having it break after using it once.
39. If I could pick any talent, it would be to be able to sing. I really can’t sing a note.

41. I haven’t been mountain biking in 4 ½ years.
42. I love my house and I hope we never have to move.
43. I would love to hear people’s thoughts. I have always wondered what people really think about me. Maybe that’s why I love Trent. He tells people what he honestly thinks.
44. I love eating out.
45. I love sleeping in. Anytime I wake up on my own is heaven.
46. I wish I was a clean freak. I really have to motivate myself to clean anything. I am like a 3 year old. I tell myself I can have a treat after I clean the bathrooms.
47. I played softball for 10 years of my life and now I don’t even pick up my mitt.
48. I never remember my mom yelling at us. (well, maybe once or twice.) And I yell at my kids about 30 times per day.
49. I hated breastfeeding. Nothing “bonding” about it for me.
50. I love surprising people, especially Trent.
51. I have worn shorts with my swimsuit for as long as I can remember. I absolutely HATE my thighs and butt.
52. Trent and I have bad luck with windshields. We usually replace 1-2 a year.

56. I love the feelings of nostalgia, even though it makes me sad sometimes.
57. I like most music except rap and Trent’s techno computerized stuff.

59. I HATE speaking in public.
60. I love to read and probably waste too much time doing it.
61. Trent and I don’t ever really fight. We both say what we think and then that’s that...Usually.

63. I love food. Have I said that already?
64. I used to love dogs. But 2 dogs and 5 babies later not so much. Anybody want 2 beagles?
65. I really do love my kids. I love how different they all are and I LOVE when they smile.
66. I love watching movies for the first time, especially the scary ones.
67. I HATE jello. I can’t even stand the smell when I am making it.
68. I love fruit and nuts, but not mixed in anything. Like brownies with nuts or ice cream with fruit chunks, yuck.
69. I am probably going to need plastic surgery in order to get a semi flat stomach again. My belly looks like a 90 year olds. Really.
70. I love every season and I am always ready for the next one to start.
71. There is nothing like snowshoeing on a mountain where no one has been since the last snowfall. It is so pretty and the untouched snow as far as you can see is amazing. Luckily I usually have 2 men to carve the trail for me. Thanks Trent and Jake!
72. I have experienced a few different births. 1 C-section with twins. 1 normal. 1 normal with twins. I have to tell you I didn't think so at first, but C-sections suck.
73. I love to hang out with my high school friends. We really were lucky to have so many really good friends. And I am still lucky to have them as friends.
74. I hated college, but am so glad I did it. (Even though I liked to get creative with my note taking skills.)
75. I love wrapping presents. But the thing is I have a few rolls of wrapping paper that I never use. I think they are too cute and I don’t want to see them gone. How dumb is that?

77. I hate weeding, but love mowing lawns.
78. I played with more GI Joes than Barbies when I was little.

84. Ever since my pregnant days I have to sleep with a pillow to hug.
85. After being a Jensen for a few years, I still DO NOT understand the emotions with Utah and BYU. I think everyone is too high strung about it all.
86. I cannot tolerate slow drivers.
87. I need to learn to control my temper and be more patient with my kids.
88. I hate any movie that has anything to do with affairs. I think it taints the whole show.
89. I don’t know if people really understand the challenges of having 5 kids under 3. But I know I wouldn’t trade my challenges for anyone else’s.
90. I have to have my dishwasher loaded a certain way. Sometimes I reload it if it is done wrong. I think I have the ability to get more dishes in the way I do it.
91. I feel lazy a lot of the time. I just don’t have the energy or desire to do things.
92. I never touch the toilet in public bathrooms. I just squat and use my foot to flush it.
93. I worry too much about my kids. I have a hard time letting them play alone in my backyard. I always think they will get taken.

95. I feel guilty that I don’t visit our grandparents as much as we should.
96. I am so thankful for my health and my family’s health. We are so blessed to have 5 healthy pregnancies and births.
97. I want people to like me and I do care what they think even when I say I don’t.
98. I love looking out my window and seeing the temple. I need to actually go into it more often. I don’t realize how lucky I am.
99. I wish I was a happier person. Maybe I should be on medication, but Trent doesn’t believe in it.
100. I love chocolate. But I cannot chew it. It has to be melted or I suck on it until its gone.
101. I like to have fun and love seeing my kids have fun. I only wish I had more time to have fun with my kids.
I hope you all enjoyed these useless factoids about me. I think some of you should do this too. I love reading other people's lists and learning things I never knew about people that I have known for years. Just try it and good luck!
Shopping at the outlets. Unfortunately none of us made a purchase at this store. Shoot.
Teri and I bought 2 of the same shirts. Most people might be horrified if they had the same shirts as their mother-in-law, but I don't have that problem. I have a very nice and normal mother-in-law with good taste in clothing! ;)
At the end of the trip I was an expert in packing. I really don't know how we fit everything in!
