P is for Porcupine and Potty

This morning Dusty learned about the letter P at alphabet club. They made cute little potato porcupines. I thought they were so cute and such a clever idea.



They will be talking about Police Officers on Friday; Dusty is pretty excited about that. One of my friends' husband is a police officer, and she is teaching on Friday. So I will post pictures of that later, if I get any.


No, they did not learn about Potties, that part of my post today is brought to you by Lucky... I was in the computer room when I heard a sloshing noise come from the bathroom. I knew I needed to check it out, and I also knew I would find Lucky in the bathroom. I did not know that I would find him in so much mischief!





I think he is mesmerized by the new blue toilet water. (That is why the wet toilet paper wads on the floor and curtain are blue!)

Then I put him up on the stool to wash his hands and I started cleaning up the mess. I heard a splash; I turned around and saw this...

Such a stinker!!

Photo Shoot

I decided to take some pictures of the boys yesterday since they were all dressed up in new shirts. (Lucky was sick and did not get dressed, and he does not have a cute new shirt anyway)
These two are my favorites and the slide shows have some of the other cute and silly pictures I took.

Sports Photography 101

6 year olds DO NOT move quickly enough for the sports setting on your camera! (the one of Ned with his medal and the one with his coach are not quite as blurry as the rest, thank goodness!) Ned is White #32.

Husband Tag

I was tagged with this questionnaire by my friend over a week ago but I decided to wait until Valentine's Day to post it.
Happy Valentine's Day, honey. I love you!!
All About My Hubby...

How long have you been married? 9 years on August 14th. Valentine's Day is our half year anniversary!



How long did you date? 3 years, not your typical Mormon story.

How old is he? 36 (in 3 days!) Correction: he will be 35 (see comments)

Who eats more sweets? Me, without question. He does like candy more than I do, but I love sweets.

Who is taller? He is. I am 5' 5"; he is 6' 2"

Who can sing better? I don't know. We are about the same; neither of us is bad or particularly great.

Who is smarter? He is, for sure.
Who does the laundry? We both start it, he ends up folding it. It will sit in a pile in our room until he has time (or is sick enough of waiting to see if I will ever do it) until he folds it. I usually put it away, otherwise Ned might be wearing Lucky's clothes to school. :)

Who pays the bills? I do. He used to. I can't decide which I like more.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? He does.

Who mows the lawn? He does. But I try to do it as often as I can because his allergies are so bad that he is miserable the rest of the day when he does it.

Who cooks dinner? I do. He used to cook when we were dating and first married, but as I have gotten better at it and have learned to love it he can hardly make mac and cheese without messing it up!

Who drives? Whoever is on that side of the car after getting the children in.

Who is more stubborn? Hm, depends on the subject.

Who asked who out first? He did. He was kind of dating my roommate but I really liked him and I hoped he would ask me out.

Who kissed who first? He kissed me on our fourth date. He says he waited to kiss me on the fourth day because he thought it would be fun because my parents decided to get married on their fourth date.

Who said "I love you" first? Um, I don't really remember! I do remember that for the longest time when we were first dating he used to say, "You're awesome!" I told him once that I thought that it was his "as you wish". He said that it was and I think it must have been this conversation that we said I love you to one another.

Who proposed? He did. We knew we were getting married for a while before we had the money for the ring and he actually told me that he could not afford the ring for a few more months. I had been in Indiana for a few weeks helping my sister who was on bed rest while pregnant with twins. He milked the clock and earned the money while I was gone. I had been home a few days when we went to my parents' house (they lived in St. George at the time) for Thanksgiving dinner. We knew we wanted a picture that we had taken ourselves for our announcements, so every once in a while we would get dressed up and go in to the mountains and set the camera on a tripod and set the timer. We decided to go into snow canyon and take some pictures before dinner. I was tired and hungry after a while but he told me he just wanted to go to this one last spot. We did and as he was setting up the shot I kind of noticed his hand shaking a bit. He pushed the button and as he jumped over a huge rock to stand by me (or so I thought) he reached into his pocket, and then I knew what was happening and immediately started to cry. He asked me if I would be "his best friend forever". I said yes!! The camera snapped the picture at the perfect moment!

Who has more siblings? I do. I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters. He has a half brother and half sister. He has more if you count his "lds family", that introduced him to the Church, that he calls his brothers and sisters.

Who wears the pants? We both do, again it depends on the subject.

I am tagging Kimberlie, Emily, The Sweet Mom, and Mrs. Morty. Plus anyone else that is reading this and wants to talk about their hubby!
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Memories

I was looking through some old emails and found pictures of Ned's 4th birthday almost 3 years ago. He had a jungle safari birthday party. It was so much fun. He and Dusty are so cute and little! I figure it is something I would have put on my blog if I had been a blogger back then, so why not add it now!

I've been caught!

I was on my blog getting ready to edit a post and Ned sat next to me and said, "That's a cute picture of Lucky. Where is he?"
I had been caught! "Um, the zoo." I said, worried about the reaction.
"Was I there?" Ned asked.
"No, we went on Monday.” I said.
Ned then glared at me and said, "That's it! Someday Daddy and I are going to go someplace without any of you guys. We are going to go in the summer so it will be nice and warm!"

Shhh, don't tell Ned...

We went to the zoo the other day. Ned still has no idea that we went while he was at school. I could not resist the 75 degree weather on a free admission day.

When Ned first started school two years ago (he is only in first grade but this is his third year because they have a free preschool program here, it is basically like going to kindergarten, before kindergarten. It is in the elementary schools, half-day, five days a week). He loved it, but every morning before school he would say he did not want to go to school. I know that he was worried that he would miss something fun at home while he was away. Once we were in the car he was fine, and he always had a great day. He loves school and now he only gets sad if he sees a McDonalds bag lying around when he gets home, or Dusty tells him about his fun day at a friend's house. Somehow we were able to get away with going to the zoo this time. That is until he wants me to read him my blog which he has been enjoying lately.

It was a beautiful day. I wore a very light sweater and wished that I had worn short sleeves by the end of the trip to the zoo. We did not get many great pictures because most of them are of the back of the boys' heads.

Apparently Lucky thinks that all animals bark because he barked at most of them. He had a great time, even though he was in his stroller most of the time. He was so excited about the gorillas that he wanted to play with them.

I let him get out of the stroller to look at the fish. He looked at me for a picture just long enough for me go get the smile. He was about to whip his head back toward the fish when I took the picture.



This snake was Lucky's favorite thing, by far. None of the pictures I took did this moment justice. He was jumping around in his stroller and trying to grab the snake, he wanted to hold it so bad! Dusty lead it around the case with his finger.

Dusty also loved the gorillas. He didn't mind all of the other visitors; he made his way through the crowds to see everything he wanted to see.


They both liked playing on the Lion statue.

It is sometimes annoying to have such unpredictable weather, but it definitely pays to have a day like this to enjoy in the middle of the winter!
