Husband Tag

A while ago Keesha tagged me and I haven't done it yet! So I thought since it was our 6th anniversary on Sunday it would be a good time to do this tag. And I have some cute pictures but they won't upload so I will try again later!

Where did you meet? I actually dated his friend Greg for a while and he said he had his eye on me the whole time we were dating! Ha ha. Then after Greg and I broke up, Nick was cruising main in his Jeep with some friends and we met up with them. Pretty funny!

How long did you date before you were married? Well let's see.... we dated for a year and a half before his mission. Then after he came back we dated for one week and then he asked me to marry him! So technically one year six months and one week.

How long have you been married? 6 years on Sunday

What does he do that surprises you? He is always doing things that surprise me. The other day while I was getting ready he cleaned my kitchen, living room, vacuumed the whole house, and rearranged the furniture in our bedroom! He is amazing. Also, a lot of times when I come home from work he has already made dinner!

What is your favorite feature of his? His eyes are awesome and he has a really cute butt! Ha ha.

What is your favorite quality of his? He is such a hard worker! He gets up every morning at 3 and goes to work. He works long days and then comes home and picks up the kids and plays with them for a couple of hours before I come home. Most nights they are already fed, bathed and in their pajamas before I even get home! It is so nice. He is a great dad too. The kids are always so excited to see him. And of course he has a great sense of humor. He is always making us all laugh.

Does he have a nickname for you? He has called me mama ever since we had Avree.

What is his favorite color? Probably Black or Red. I am not really sure.

What is his favorite food? Probably Turkey Steak

What is his favorite sport? Basketball, but he likes to watch all kinds of sports on TV.

When and where was your first kiss? Summer of '99 in my parents driveway. I even remember what I was wearing. Ha ha!

Favorite thing to do as a couple? Probably go to dinner and the movie. Or boating.

Do you have any children? 2 Avree is 3, and Kason is 1

Does he have a hidden talent? He can fix just about anything. He gets this from his dad who can fix ANYTHING!

How old is he? 27

Who said I love you first? He did, and of course I said it back!!

What is his favorite type of music? He likes everything but his favorite is Rap/Hip Hop.

What do you admire most about him? His testimony is so strong and he is so smart. I can ask him questions about all kinds of things and he knows the answers! Also, his sophomore year of High School he was hanging out with friends that he had forever. They started to do things that he knew were not right and so he just stopped hanging out with them. He said that he didn't really have friends for a while but eventually his best friend now, Nick, asked him to hang out with them and they have been really close ever since. I really admire him for that. I know that I couldn't have left my friends in High School. He is a person who always stands up for what he knows is right.

Do you think he will read this? Probably not, but maybe if he knows it is about him then he will!

Halloween!! Fall Fun!



We have been BUSY! Last Saturday was the Homecoming parade for USU and Avree was in the parade for dance. Then after the parade we went to the Pumpkin Walk. The kids loved the pumpkin displays. Also we went to Grandma G's to rake leaves, we had so much fun jumping in the piles. Grandma G told Avree all of the types of leaves and Avree kept saying " Mom did you know this is Maple leaf?" She was so cute!

Wow! We had a great Halloween this year! I am still laughing at all of the funny costumes! We celebrated with my fam during the day and then Nick's mom had an awesome party at her house on Halloween night. We had so much fun. We went trick-or-treating, bobbed for apples, hit a pinata, and just laughed at each other and visited. It was the most fun we have had on Halloween in a long time. Here are the hilarious pics from the night.

Oh and if you haven't given me your e-mail PLEASE post it or send me an e-mail!

Look Who's 1!!






Our sweet baby boy turned 1 on Saturday! I can't believe it. He has grown up so fast. He has been such a joy to have around always. He is so sweet.

Here are the things I love about Kason:



  • He loves to eat!! Anything pretty much and he enjoys his food soooo much!

  • He has such cute chubby legs, hands, feet, cheeks etc. etc.

  • He is a morning person. He is always so happy in the morning.

  • He has such a sweet personality and is always giving me luvs and kisses.

  • He is a momma's boy most of the time.

  • He sings! It is the cutest thing ever.

  • He says ma ma, dad, truck (cuck), coke (I know not a good thing!), and he tries to say "Avree."

  • He has beautiful long eyelashes and blue eyes.

  • He is such a boy!!


We had two birthday parties when we got home from Disneyland. One with my family and one with Nick's family. So Happy Birthday little man. We love you so much and couldn't imagine life without you!

And We're Off!


Well we are off to Disneyland tomorrow! Hopefully I don't or haven't forgotten anything:( I hate packing and I totally over pack always! I am pretty sure I will be over the 50 lb. limit! Hopefully Nick will let me put some shoes in his suitcase:) So I will post some pics when we get back. I am so excited I am sure I won't be able to sleep tonight!

6 Quirks!

Bethany tagged me and you are supposed to write about 6 quirks you have! I admit I am a little OCD about things so I have lots! Just ask Nick. So here are my top 6!

1. I have to do my hair and makeup before leaving the house! Also my children must have their hair done and matching clothes before leaving the house! Sometimes this causes us to be late but we try to be on time. I rarely leave the house without these things done unless I am soooo sick!

2. I am a little name brand crazy! Not that I have to have name brand things but that you have to match them up! Here comes the OCD!! If Kason is wearing a Nike outfit he has to have Nike shoes! Etc. Etc. I know this sounds crazy but it really bothers me if they don't match!!

3. I like the dishwasher loaded a certain way and only certain things can go in the dishwasher! I like to wash some things by hand!

4. I like my car to be clean! This has kinda gone down hill since I had kids and live in my car but I like to wash my car and have it smelling nice. Nick is very picky about his cars so I get this one from him. This is pretty funny but when we were first married and didn't have kids we would go to the shop and clean our cars inside and out every Saturday! I mean fully detailed!! So now that we have kids our cars are not so clean and don't smell so nice sometimes but we try to keep them somewhat clean.

5. I hate when I am talking to someone and they answer their cell phone mid-conversation and try to have both conversations at the same time. I also don't like when people talk on their phones really loud in public places. This drives me crazy! Like I want to hear your whole conversation!!

6. Here is the librarian coming out in me!! I am picky about spelling. I have to have everything spelled right and if it's not I will figure it out until it's right. Also I like to have things alphabetized. I haven't gotten to some things in my house but it is so easier to find things when they are alphebetized!

Ahhhhh! So now you all know my weird quirky things! And yes, I admit I do have some OCD! But the first step is to admit that you have it, right!! ha ha. And so I tag Ashlee, Jalane, Keesha, Tiff, (this could be your first post! I will help you.) and Teresa. And anyone else who reads this and wants to do it!

Free Pictures!





Yesterday we were in Layton doing some shopping and the lady at Kiddie Kandids asked if she could take some pictures of my kids. Of course I said yes, and they gave me a free one for Kason's Birthday coming up! Pretty cool! Here are the results!
