I've Been Tagged... Secret Time!

So, I have been tagged again, but it is in a slightly different fashion then the last one so I am going to do it again. I love talking about my hubby and our dating story so here it goes... Thanks Melissa! 1- What is his name? Jason
2- How long have you been married? Almost 5 years on Jan 24.
3- How long did you date? Well, I met Jason the day after I graduated from high school. He was 23, I was a measly 18 and he thought I was annoying. I had to worm my way into his heart over 2 and a half years. :) Plus I was going to Utah State for 2 of the years so we were doing the long distance, off and on thing.
4- Who eats more? Jason but only because he is a boy and I am always on a diet. I could probably take him if it was cake, ice cream or pizza.
5- Who said I love you first? Me... but I was tricked into it. It was Valentines Day 2002 and he had planned this whole big thing... flowers, a CD, carriage ride... the works and at the end of the night he asked how I was feeling or what I was thinking... I can't remember. But I said that I felt very loved and he said, "You are..." and then it was just quiet and then he asked what I was thinking again and I said I love you and he said it back. Sneaky guy.
6- Who sings better? Hmm... probably neither of us. We aren't singers. But since I am a girl it would probably be me.
7- Who is taller? Jason... 6'3" to my 5'4"
8- Whose temper is worse? MINE! We even got into a fight once about how he is always so calm! But I have seen him lose it once... on a trip with his family earning the nickname Leash from his brothers. :)
9- Who does the laundry? Both, but me mostly.
10- Who does the dishes? Same as laundry.
11- Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Jason... I have to be by the door.
12- Who does the cooking? Both, I'm trying to learn to cook more.
13- Who is more stubborn? ME, no contest.
14- Who proposed? Jason but it took him a month after he had my ring to get around to it! He had to get it just right and it was perfect!
15- Who is more likely to admit when they are wrong? Jason. I don't give in a lot of the time.
16- Whose parents do you see the most? Mine but we live closer to them and Jason's family is very busy.
17- Who pays the bills? Me
18- Who wears the pants in the family? Me, but Jason is very laid back and we generally agree on things.
19- Why do you love your husband? So many reasons. I love how he loves me... even when I am crazy and difficult. He puts up with me endlessly. I love how patient he is, how smart... he knows everything. I love how he can read something and remember it for the rest of his life. I love how he is with people and how caring he is of everyone. He puts everyone before him self to the point that he suffers sometimes. I love how he is with our son and what a good example he is I love love love how he tickles my head every single night so that I can go to sleep while he watches TV. I just love him to bits and am so happy that he is my husband!!
That was fun. I take him for granted a lot so hopefully he reads this and knows that he is appreciated! I am tagging... Celeste, Kim, Kimmy my cousin, Megan, Kathie and Erica.

Jack was starting to sport a mullet so it was time to get it cut!! My dad cuts my brothers hair and in an attempt to save $15 I had him cut Jacks. Jack had a good time and my dad did a great job! He looks like a proper kid now!

Snowy Day




We have had our first snow of the season!! I am so excited! I love the snow (for this month at least). Jack had a great time throwing snowballs at Grandpa and riding in the sled!! I can't wait for more!

Gingerbread Houses



I am not a crafty person by any means, but when you have kids you do things with them that you wouldn't normally do. The other day Celeste and Belle came over and we attempted to make a gingerbread house with the kids. As we soon found out, the candy was eaten before it even made it to the house and Jack found out that tearing the roof off and throwing the candy inside was more fun then sticking it on the house.
Jason was assigned to make a gingerbread house for work so in my attempt to restore my dignity and make a suitable house, we enlisted the help of my dad and sister and it turned out to be a masterpiece! Look at the difference between the two! We had a lot of fun with both! Next we will try sugar cookies!
