Husband tag-

Husband Tag!! 1. Where did you meet your husband? Blind date-both of our high school best friends were dating each other-they lined us up and they ended up getting married as well. (does that make sense?) 2. How long did you date before you got married? One year and two months 3. How long have you been married? 16 years (wow! thats a long time) 4. What does he do to surprise you? He always goes all out for my birthdays and plans a fun date. This year he arranged for his parents to come out and babysit, and planned a great date in Las Vegas. We had a blast. 5. What is your favorite feature of his? His smile and I love how he never takes a day off of exercising-he has a great body to show for it! 6.What is your favorite quality? He always thinks of me first. His number one concern is to make sure that I am happy! He always says "A happy wife means a happy life" 7. Does he have a nickname for you? No maybe cutie? 8. What is his favorite food? All food (except Shepards pie) he loves food! 9. What is his favorite sport? Basketball 10. When and where did you first kiss? At his apartement 11. What is your favorite thing to do as a couple? Go on vacations together 12.Do you have children? Yes, 3 girls and 2 boys. 13. Does he have any hidden talents? He is very determined! Once he sets his mind to do something-he will do anything to accomplish it-he doesn't give up, he is also a very hard worker. 14. How old is he? It just hit me that he is 39 when I went to use the elliptical after he was done and it asks your age, it said 39-at first I thought-who used the elliptical that is 39 and then it hit me! Wow-my husband is 39-I guess that I forgot he had a birthday a few months ago. 15. Who said I love you first? He did. After a long, long, long, time. He really didn't want to admit that he loved me. 16. What is his favorite music? U2 17. What do you admire most about him? I love that he doesn't talk bad about people-he never will say anything bad about any one-he won't ever repeat anything bad that he has heard about anyone. 18. What is his favorite color? I don't know-really 19. Will he read this? I doubt it! 20. People I tag. Melissa M., Jen A

Football

Tanner is our little sports fan! He loves any and all sports. He has been playing football and really enjoying it. This is his team-the Cowboys (of course). He had his last game on saturday. John just happen to get this footage. See the pile up (or more like, one person on the ground) -Tanner is that person, recovering a fumble. The coaches high-five after his recovery! Tanner was pretty excited.

Fall (or winter) fun!

The girls were out playing on Saturday when they all came running in saying "its snowing, its snowing". I thought-no way, not in Kanab, not in the beginning of October. Well, sure enough I looked outside and there were very small snow flurries coming down. They proceeded to come in and dig out anything warm that they could find. I love Ally's slippers and gloves (they are gardening gloves). They even took care of Anna with one of their jackets (not quite a perfect fit). They were so excited and continued play outside-running around-jumping on the trampoline. They were so funny-they came in only once it was dark and thawed out with the first mugs of hot cocoa for the season.

Quirks and formatting?

Maybe you bloggers can help me-every time I type something, such as the tag below-I type it perfect-preview it-space it how I want it and then when I publish it, it squishes together and comes out in one big clumped together paragraph. What am I doing wrong? Jennifer-I tried to do your tag and it did the same thing!

Unspectacular Quirks?!

6 Unspectacular Quirks I wasn't sure what exactly this tag meant until I started reading other people's blogs that had been tagged. Although I am a woman of few words-I guess that these are my so called "UNSPECTACULAR QUIRKS". As you read on, you will agree, I am sure, that they are quite unspectacular- Only for you Meliss- 1. I have to wash my feet before bed. It drives me crazy to go to bed without a good scrub and lotion. 2. I have to brush my teeth right before I put my make up on. I am not sure why-I just can't put my makeup on without clean teeth. I also have to brush after eating any sugar. I guess that it is the husband wearing off on me. 3. If I am cooking-I have to follow the recipe exactly. It drives me crazy to improvise in any way. If it says butter-it has to be butter NOT margarine. If I am missing an ingredient, I either run to the store or I quit cooking. I know, it seems weird and uncreative, but if I am going to go to the trouble to cook, I want it to turn out just right. 4. I need sleep-I really hate staying up late. If I don't get to sleep early I get really ornery and small things turn into big things. I get all emotional, impatient and sensitive. Ideally I would go to bed at 8:30 and get up at 5:30 if I could. Not so easy with little ones and especially teenagers! 5. I can't eat sugar on and empty stomach. It gives me an instant headache and makes me nauseated. Don't get me wrong-I eat plenty of sugar, just after I have eaten a meal. 6. I have to change my sheets at least once every week. Ideally, I would change them twice. I had to cut back after I had Anna because it was just too hard to have so much laundry to change everyone's sheets twice every week. I just love the feel of fresh, clean, soft, crisp sheets. I tag-anyone who want to share 6 unspectacular quirks!
