Worst Weather?: 100+ degree heat
X-Rays: My most memorable x-ray moment was with Paige in the ER when she was 18 months old and had just fallen 8 feet off of our deck. Try explaining to an 18 month old that she needs to hold perfectly still.

Yellow: was my color growing up. Each of us kids was assigned a color, and various things were labeled with that color: utensils, cups, plates, toothbrushes, bows on Christmas presents, etc.
Zoo animal: Lions & tigers, especially at the San Francisco Zoo at feeding time. They're in a concrete house and their roars are deafening as they echo off the walls. I was scared and fascinated at the same time.

Great post. I have lived with you for 13 and half years and there were things I learned in this post. Wierd.
Speaking of American Idol, did you see the Salt Lake City auditions last night? I think my favorite part was Simon rolling his eyes and saying, "Why are they all so happy?"
So, I'm pretty sure that dancing in the rain thing was at least once with your bestest most favorite companion of all....drum roll please....ME!! Do you remember the song we wrote about the B of M??
Love that list!! I have had a similar x-ray experience, only it was in England! We were in Preston, up by Manchester, on vacation, and Belinda tripped in the hotel room and broke her arm. She was two, and I am RIGHT THERE WITH YOU on trying to get her to hold still (and also just cooperate!). SO HARD! Anyway, thanks for the great read. :)
What new things did you learn, Mike? Just curious...
And Kimm - you are involved in most of my favorite memories on my mission (I say 'most' but not all, Jenn.) :) Those were some good times! I don't remember the exact words to the BofM song but I definitely remember cracking ourselves up over it.
Here's my favorite:
"Ever failed a class? Um...yes"
