Husband Tag

A) The rules are posted at the beginning. B) Each person answers questions about their sweethearts and post a picture! C) At the end of the post, the person then tags people and posts their names; then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment, letting them know they have been tagged.

1. What is your husbands name? Clinton, or Clint
2. How long have you guys been married? A little over 5 years
3. How long did you date? Date...Well that depends, date before proposal or date before marriage. If it's date before the proposal it was a month 1/2 if it includes engagement almost 7 months.
4. How old is he? 30
5. Who is taller? I am, but only by a little
6. Who can sing best? I think we would both say we are equal on that.
7. Who is smarter? I think Clint would say I am, but I think we have our strengths and weaknesses and we compliment each other.
8. Who does laundry? I do mostly, but he does jump in and help now and then
9. Who pays the bills? I do
10. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? It depends on what way the bed is facing
11. Who mows the lawn? We don't have a lawn to mow
12. Who cooks dinner? Most of the time I do, but Clint will cook every now and then
13. Who is more stubborn? I am by far! He has his moments though, but mostly he's a softy
14. Who kissed who first? It was a mutual agreement. It's a LONG story, but if you want to know, ask.
15. Who wears the pants? Me, but I try really hard to let him honor his Priesthood responsibility.

I tag Heidi, Becky, Lindy and D to tell us about their wonderful husbands! (And anyone else who would like to also)

Fall in Utah

I LOVE FALL IN UTAH! The leaves changing color and the crisp air make me so happy. Here are some pics. that I got off of ksl.com. If you would like to view more pics go to their website. Some of them are AMAZING!

Snow

We got our first snow fall on Saturday. I think we got 3 inches. It's almost gone now and temps are back to 70's as of Friday. It has been cold though, below freezing in most areas. I think this winter will be very different than what we are accustomed to from Orem. The storm hardly brought anything to them, as far as I could tell. I was down there on Sat and Sun. I'm just grateful for heaters that work. I got this picture off of ksl.com. (Little Cottonwood Creek one day after our October 11, 2008 snow storm.

34 Years

Today my parents have been married for 34 years. I want to wish them a Happy Anniversary and tell them how grateful I am that they have stayed together all these years. While growing up I didn't have a lot of friends that had parents that stayed together; I'm so glad they chose to work through their differences and make things work as a family. Thank you Mom and Dad for teaching me what it means to love each other and showing me how to get through the hard times with love, understanding and laughter.

The boy who loves his mom enough not to leave her alone, even in the shower.

This is a story about a little boy who loves his mom. In fact, he loves his mom so much that he won't let her do anything without him, including writing this blog entry. Yesterday I was running on the treadmill and Clint was at work. Normally running isn't a problem and the kids entertain themselves. Not yesterday! For 30 min straight Conner screamed. Now some of you may think, "Well, why don't you figure out why he is screaming and then continue running." The problem with that is he was screaming simply because I wasn't holding him. This wonderful, cute little boy of mine hates not being held. He prefers me, but if I ignore him he turns to his dad and if his dad isn't here to rescue him he simply claws at my feet until I do something about it. I adore my little boy, don't get me wrong, in fact I would love to be able to hold him all the time. Unfortunately I can't. There is just no way that I can answer his demands all the time. So instead I listen to him cry and plead, "Maaam....Mama...Maaam." Really it's enough to break your heart. Oh and the whole crying while I'm running bit, I actually felt a little guilty because I thought to myself, "Normally this would be bothering me...I'm so glad I'm running."
