Draper Temple Open House

Tonight we went to the Draper Temple Open House. Me, John, Will, Emmie, Jason, Grandpa Scott, Grandma Sing, Hillary, and Tyler came with us. The kids were totally awesome. Even with four trips to the bathroom, three for Emmie and one for Will, the whole experience was great. If you ask the kids what part they liked the best they will tell you that the cookies at the end was their favorite part.
While we were walking through John was holding Emmie and she was looking back over his shoulder and said (while pointing) "Look, that big guy has a big tummy." She was being truthful, but the guy hear her because he was only two people behind us. John was embarrassed and we tried hard not to laugh. I guess that it is a good thing she is only three.

kids or monkeys

Sometimes I feel like John and I are rasing monkeys. The other day their was a tupperwear sitting in front of the ladder to the bunkbed (it is a short bunkbed), Jason climbed on top of the tupperwear and then climb up the final two rungs of the ladder to the top bunk.
The other day Jason started crawling like a monkey, hoepfully in prepreation to walk. Here is a viedo of him.

What is worse than a sick kid?

What is worse than a sick kid? Three sick kids that think they can still play with friends and cousins. This week Emmie and Jason went to the doctor on Monday. They were both wheezing and Jason had an ear infection. Later on that day Will started to wheeze and by the night time John and I was doing a round of breathing treatments for all the kids. Not fun. Now if the inversion would go away they could probably finally get over their coughs. I guess that we'll see.

The New Year

Happy New Year! We have been busy doing something but I have nothing to post about it but for this...

I was tagged by Dondy a while ago and I am finally getting around to do it. It about how John and I met...


1. Where did you meet? John and I meet for the first time when at 12 years old our families went on a vacation together with my Uncle Fred. John wouldn't speak to me because he thought that I was way older than him because I had gone through a growth spurt and he didn't grow until he was 14. At 12 John was at least a whole head shorter than I was. Good thing he caught up. But after that when we both turned 14 we worked for the same Uncle Fred mowing lawns.
2. What was the first thought that went through your head when you met? I don't have a clue.
3. Do you remember what he/she was wearing? Probably shorts and a t-shirt
4. Where was the first time you kissed this person? About two weeks after he got home from his mission.
5. Where did you go for your first date? John refused to date me before his mission, he wanted too and my cousin want him to ask me out, but John basically said that he wasn't going to date anyone until his mission was over. I guess that it worked out for the best.
6. How long did you know this person before you became a couple? I wanted it to be sooner but he wasn't going to date me until he got home. So I guess if you count when we started mowing lawns together about six years.
7. How did he/she ask you out? I asked him to come over to my cousins house to hang out and play games. While we were at my cousins house we decided that the next weekend we would go see a movie. When we got the the movie theater my parents were there too and decided to sit my us during the movie. John wanted to hold my hand, but my dad was sitting next to him and he was scared to.
8. How did he propose to you? Well I knew that it was coming because we had talked about it. John got home from his mission on March 6, March 26 we talked about getting married and then on April 13 John took me down to the Manti Temple to ask me.
9.Do you and this person have kids together? Yeah, we have 3. Sometime it seems like more.
10. Have you ever broken the law with this person? Speeding
11. When was the first time you realized that you liked this person? I always like him as a friend but when I was a senior in high school I knew that I would marry him. I didn't know how it was going to work out considering he didn't want to date, but it didn't.
12. Do you trust this person? Yeah
13. Do you see her/him as your partner in your future? Forever
14. What is the best gift she/he gave you? The best example of living in the moment.
15. What is one thing He/She does that gets on your nerves? Just one? He just leaves crap everywhere and think that I will do it and usually I do. He leaves the lights on, leaves his shoes out, leaves his dinner plate on the counter, leaves the mud on the floor...
16. Where do you see each other 15 years from now? Hopefully doing what we are doing know. 17. What causes the most arguments? Re-read number 15
18. How long have you been together? We have been married for 6 and 1/2 years
19. Are you Married? Yes
20. Who Do you Tag? My college friends - Andrea, Jaime, and Brittany
