Tag I'm it!


The moment I saw that I had been tagged I was dreading trying to answer these questions, but as I went along it was actually kind of fun. I won't be tagging anyone else since I don't have any friends with blogs.


What is your spouses name? Tyler

How long have you been together? We started hanging out and eventually dating in January of 1999. We got married on June 11, 1999, and therefore will be celebrating 9 years of marital bliss.

Who eats more? It's probably really close, but I have to say Tyler.

Who said 'I Love You' first? I think he did, but along the same lines I remember him telling me that he had kissed his last girl. Kind of scared me a little.

Who is taller? uh ya - Tyler

Who is smarter? Tyler-well I'm not sure if he's smarter, but he definitely has a much better memory than me.

Who does the laundry? MEEEE!

Who does the dishes? MEEEE AGAIN!!!

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I used to and now Tyler does. The left side is closer to the bathroom - need I say more for anyone that has been pregnant.

Who pays the bills? Tyler - in his words all I know how to do is call the bank and ask how much money is in my account.

Who mows the lawn? Tyler. He does the main stuff like mowing and trimming and I do most of the weed picking and cleaning up.

Who cooks dinner? I do. I would love if he cooked more, but most of the time he gets home too late to do it.

Who drives when you are together? Tyler always does, unless he's extremely tired. He thinks I'm a horrible driver.

Who is more stubborn? I am going to say Tyler. Not in a really bad way - but once he wants something he doesn't stop until he gets it. So I would say more strong willed than stubborn I guess.

Who kissed who first? Tyler would love to say I did and I would have to disagree, but more importantly, it was an awesome first kiss. So yep that's why I kept him.

Who asked who out first? Tyler would say I did because he gave me his number first and I called him to go work out at the gym with me(which isn't a date right?), but he couldn't come workout so he invited me to hang out with him at one of his friend's house instead - so Tyler asked me out first.

Who proposed? Tyler. . .When it comes to love stuff I am old fashioned and I just think that's the man's job.

Who has more siblings? Me - 7 Him - 2

Who wears the pants? Funny thing - we ask each other this question all the time. We agree that we both wear the pants. Neither one of us dominates the other, which we think is why we never get into fights with each other. Knock on wood:)

Happy Birthday!!!

Last Monday was Brady's 2nd birthday. I am still trying to come to terms with him growing up so fast. Scary. We had a pretty fun day. We had lunch at Brady and Cole's favorite restaurant - yep - McDonalds - gotta love it:) Then went home and had cake and ice cream in the afternoon. Loads of fun.
At the moment Brady's favorite things are playing cars and playing with any kind of ball. He is quite the kicker. It's really cute because he lines up and kicks it just like the football kickers on tv. He kicks it good too.
He also loves to just be outside. He's usually just wandering around in the rocks or playing t-ball with himself, but since Cole got a bike for Xmas and has now passed his scooter onto Brady, he gets to ride around. He really has the hang of it now. He can almost keep up with Cole on his bike. It looks funny for a such a little guy to be riding around himself. If you can't tell yet - he never runs out of energy, which is why I included this picture of Brady and Cole passed out on the couch. Such a rare thing. I had been doing some work in the office and all of a sudden noticed how quiet the boys had gotten. I got up to look for them and to my surprise they were both asleep. That was awesome. I wish they would do it more often:)

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

So I haven't updated my blog in a while - sorry about that - I never seem to find the time to do this extra stuff in the midst of everything else in December.
Anyway - we had a wonderful Christmas! The theme of our Christmas this year ended up being all about bikes. Santa brought Cole & I new bikes and then Tyler and I got a bike trailer for Brady to ride in. Cole was extremely excited and managed to ride all the way to the grocery store for a treat.
Tyler's parents were here, Ashlee & Jeff & Jessie stopped in for a visite, and then Tyler's brother Traci and his 3 kids came down from Utah the day after Christmas. We had lots of fun just hanging out, more shopping, and riding the quads. After getting constant fun and attention from their cousins,Cole & Brady went through withdrawals after they left.
While they were all here the boys went to a Cardinals vs. Rams football game. They had really good seats and Cole & Tyler even got on the jumbo tron camera.
By New Years Eve we were pretty much partied out. I did manage to stay up until midnight watching the ball drop, but didn't do any banging on my pots n pans. I know everyone says this - but I just can't believe another year is over!
I love this time of year because of all the parties, family gatherings, and renewed hope for the coming year, but by now I am so tired of all the football games! Tyler is glued to the tv as we speak watching the Ohio State game. Oh well - gives me a chance to do something else for me.
