I've Been Tagged!






Just today Abby asked me how I met her daddy. I said on my mission and she said that "Daddy said he saw you at a party. Did you think he was handsome?" I guess that was a sign that I needed to fill something like this out.

Josh and I will celebrate 10 yrs of marriage on the 13th of March so this is a great way to stop thinking about the baby and focus a little more on the great husband and marriage we share. Thanks Michelle for tagging me!




What is your hubby's name? Joshua but I never call him that…it’s mostly Josh, Daddy or Handsome


How long have you been together? Married almost 10 years


How long did you date? Dated for 4 weeks, got engaged and married 4 months later so a total of 5 months!


Who said I love you first? Josh, I think his words were I think I am falling in love with you.


Who is taller? Josh by a couple of inches


Who is smarter? He's not reading this right? Josh, hands down. He is one of the smartest people I know.


Who does the laundry? 100% me


Who does the dishes? 100% me


Who cleans the house? 100% me


Who sleeps on the right? me, closest to the door for when the kids cry or come in.


Who pays the bills? 100% me


Who mows the lawn? 100 % Josh


Who cooks dinner? 100% me. Josh makes breakfast on the Weekends.


Who drives when you are together? 100% Josh


Who is more stubborn? Me, yes I'll admit it


Who kissed who first? Josh kissed me first. But I was the one who suggested Squaw Peak at BYU so it left little doubt that I wanted him to kiss me.


Who asked who out first? He asked for my phone number at our mission reunion saying that he wanted to talk to my trainer from the mission. Since I didn't have her phone number with me he asked for mine to call and get it later. He called 2 days later and we went out the next day. He NEVER did ask again for Darrington's phone number. Side note; Josh was there with his fiance and I had just broken up with another Elder from the mission who was also there. On our first date he went and saw an ex-girlfriend before picking me up. I didn't take the first date serious because everything pointed to him being a player! By my count I was the third girl he had taken out in 3 days!


Who proposed? Josh. You have to remember that Josh has his own version as to how everything happened but I came up to see him late one evening after he got off of work. We took a walk in the cold and the U was lit because they had won a game. He said that we was falling in love with me and wanted to know if I felt the same . After I said that I did he asked if we should pray about getting married. Then 5 minutes later we were kneeling in his parents house praying about getting married. I remember thinking, am I crazy? What am I doing kneeling with this guy who I thought was a player still at this time, praying about marriage?The actual proposal came after he asked for my hand in Colorado.


Who has more siblings? Me 5 brothers and 2 sister.


Who wears the pants? Depends on the issue. We agree on so many things so it is hard to say. I'm sure he let’s me have my way more than I realize.


I have the best man in the wold but I will elaborate more on that closer to our anniversary! I tag Trisha, Megan, Melissa, Terri, Angela, Aubrey, Mary, and Audrey

Pictures of Baby Ty

Here are some pictures that we took at a 3D/4D ultrasound a couple of weeks ago. He looks a lot like Nate. He has chubby cheeks and a lot of hair. It was neat watching him swallow, yawn, and even smile! He is extremely squished with feet and hands covering his face so it was hard to get the pictures. The placenta was in the way also so it made some of the pictures blurry. Sorry it took awhile to post these. Now that the phone works we are having problems with our computer!

We Are Up and Running (Literally)

We have phone and internet. Well kind of. Half of the phone jacks are up and running. The Qwest guy couldn't figure out how to hook the whole network up so we have to get our AV guy to come out and do it. I guess we have 22 phone jacks in the house or we have only 11 and they can each do two? I don't know but I know Shane the AV guy can figure it out. I mean I can't expect too much from Qwest since it did take them from November 17 until January 26 to hook up one phone line to my house. To make this a more memorable occasion we woke up to a partially flooded basement. Last week was the first time I used our central vac and it was awesome. Because of the size of the home they had to put the industrial size vac in. The install guy said to never let the kids look inside the hole because the suction is so great that it will suck out their eye! No joke! So after using the central vac I noticed that the toe kick didn't work anymore. (the little thing the will suck up stuff off the floor so you don't have to use a dust pan). I told Josh, called our builder and didn't think much of it after that. Apparently because of this industrial vac, I tripped a fuse and this fuse also runs the sub pump. (Can you see where this is going?) So this morning after the pump being off for several days and no one knowing Josh went down to the basement to workout. Well the toilet, tub and and hidden room were all backed up and wet with let us just say not clean water!!!! The smell was pretty bad. So now we have to have everything rewired for our big vacuum. Who said bigger was better?
So I am off to post on others blogs so that you all don't think I am rude!!!

We Were Robbed!!

Last night someone broke into our car and robbed cash, the dvd player, Josh's wallet and a couple of other things. We were at Texas Roadhouse and came out to find that the console and glove compartment were open and the wires were hanging from the celing where the dvd/tv once was. We hurried and made a police report and they had already made several charges on our amex and bank accounts. They were mostly at gas stations but these guys are fast and they were good. Nothing was "ripped out". They used wire cutters and screw drivers to do everything so at least my car doesn't look too bad. We had a crazy night calling banks and etc. So now in addition to no phone or internet we now have no debt cards, credit cards or valid checks. They have all been cancelled and we are waiting for new ones. Wow, it is crazy living without modern technology! (Don't even ask when the phone line will be connected!)

Qwest Has Put Us On Hold

Still no Internet or phone at our lovely new home.  We contacted them almost two months ago to set this up.  Monday I'll call again but I think Cable One is starting to look good at this point.  So I will be more chatty when everything is working.  For now, some of you asked where we took our pictures for Christmas.  We went to Kiddie Kandids.  They have always done a good job for use.  Well, Happy New Year and I'll try to borrow another computer again here shortly!

Now That Christmas is Over

Now that Christmas is over I can finally post the Christmas pictures our family took this year. Hopefully our Internet and phone will be hooked up on Dec 29! But I'm not holding my breath. Meanwhile we have temporary service with Verizon Wireless. I hope everyone had a great holiday!!

Please Stay Posted

Well we are in the new house but due to the great planning and customer service our local telphone provider has given us we are without phone or internet. As soon as I can I will post pictures of the house and update the blog. In the mean time please use my cell as it is the only way to reach me!
