Husband Tag





Mel tagged me. This was the first I'd seen of "husband tag" but it really doesn't matter what I write cause J never sees the blog anyway :)

What is his name? James

How long have you been married? 4 years

How long did you date? 1 year

How old is he? 29

Who eats more? hmmmmm. Usually him but sometimes I do cause I can pack it away

Who said "I love you" first? James

Who is taller? James

Who sings better? James. In fact he was sought our for the ward choir in Michigan, and he's often singing around the house and making up his own songs about food.

Who is smarter? Depends. James doesn't remember names and faces very well at all. I always have to tell him who people in the ward are. In fact he didn't even remember my face a few days after we met. However, he would generally be the smarter one cause he's definitely got a more curious mind, and can remember detailed information especially from science classes and also just lots and lots of random facts that most people would never bother to learn in the first place.

Whose temper is worse? Mine

Who does the laundry? I do

Who does the dishes? We usually do them together unless James is giving Jonas his bath and getting him ready for bed while I clean up.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Me

Who pays the bills? We both do.

Who mows the lawn? James, and he almost started to enjoy it as much as my Dad does which I didn't think would be possible. I had to talk him out of it sometimes when the lawn really didn't need it that much.

Who cooks dinner? Me. James occasionally does. He especially likes to be involved if we are cooking for others.

Who drives when you are together? James

Who is more stubborn? Definitely James.

Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Probably me. James will admit when he's wrong, it just takes him a little longer.

Whose parents do you see the most? Well, I think it's pretty equal although maybe mine a little bit more.

Who proposed? James. He recreated our first date and also gave me a dozen beautiful roses.

Who has more friends? Probably me.

Who has more siblings? We have equal amounts, James has 3 sisters and I've got 3 brothers.

Who wears the pants in the family? Welll, I'm not always great at being decisive so a lot of times James makes up for that although if I do happen to feel strongly about something and we disagree, James will hear me out and if it's that important to me he'll give me my way.

I'm tagging Laura, Diantha, and Kim

2 kinds of people




There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who HAVE puked in a small airplane and those who Will puke on a small airplane. This is an actual quote from James that he told the young men in our ward as they were earning their aviator merit badges. Not one of those young men threw up, but guess what kind of person James is and guess what's in his beanie. I know it's really gross, but it was so funny. James just had to get a ride in the one plane that was a trick plane.

Happy Birthday Jonas!







Jonas turned two years old on Saturday. He was so happy with the balloons we got him that we probably didn't need to get him anything else but of course we spoiled him with lots of fun toys. He loved all of his toys soo much and has been thoroughly enjoying them ever since. We want to thank Grandma and Grandpapa Atkinson for the clothes, helicopter, and puzzles and Granny and Grandpa Powell and Aunt Mo for their gift (darn post office), as well as Great Grammie and Grandpa Marv for their card and money. Jonas had a great day playing with his new toys. In the evening we invited a few friends over for cake and ice cream. Jonas seems to always end up with a couple of girlfriends. We can't believe that he is already two but he reminds us daily that he is now an independent little guy who needs frequent time outs. He also makes us laugh and entertains us every day. We are soo happy that he is ours.
