Husband Tag


My sister tagged me, so I guess everyone gets to learn a few things about my husband.

1. Where did you meet your husband? At Utah State University. We lived in the same apartment complex, in fact his apartment was directly below mine. Very convenient. 

2.How long did you date before you got married? 9 1/2 months

3. How long have you been married? a little over 12 years 

4. What does he do that surprises you? He never gets mad at me. Even if I try to pick a fight. We really have never had a fight in our 12 years of marriage, a few disagreements, but never a fight.

5. What is your favorite feature of his? His beautiful blue eyes.

6. What is his best quality? He is always so much fun and can make me laugh, but he also is very responsible about important things like family, work, and the gospel. Also, he is so likeable. Kids like him, adults like him, teenagers like him. He is a great husband and father. He is just a great guy.

7. Does he have a nickname for you? Not really

8. What is his favortie food? Anything, he's easy to please.

9. What is his favorite sport? Motocross

10. When and where did you first kiss? At my apartment in Logan. It was about a week after our first date. I actually had been out with someone else. When my date dropped me off Wyatt came up to my apartment. We were just talking and hanging out and then he kissed me. (I didn't complain). I guess he felt that he needed to hurry and make his move to win me over. I guess it worked, but really the other guy was no competition.

11. What is your favorite thing to do as a couple? I don't know if we have one favorite thing, we like to do many things together. We love to go boating and biking. We also love to watch The Office or play the Wii together after our kids have gone to bed. 

12. Do you have any children? Yes, four

13. Does he have any hidden talents? I'm sure he does, but he is so good at hiding them, I don't even know what they are. (at least I can't think of any at the moment).

14. How old is he? 34

15. Who said I love you first? He did, of course!!!

16. What is his favorite music? I don't really know, I'm not much of a music person.

17. What do you admire most about him?  He has so much faith and doesn't worry about anything.  

18. What is his favorite color? Red

19. Will he read this? Probably, but I better add a picture. He doesn't like to read blogs, just look at the pictures.

20. Who will I tag next? Tari, Jamie, Peggy.

Boys Trip to Hanksville

Wyatt and Kamryn went on their annual trip to Hanksville the end of October. (I know I've been a slacker updating my blog, I tried to get Wyatt to post about it, but that didn't happen, so here goes nothing). They went with the Reeves, the Hulets, and the Woodwards. Kamryn said it was the best trip he ever went on. Two days of riding motorcycles with your friends, what more could a nine year old boy ask for? I think the big boys had a good time too. Doc Woodward brought his R.V.  Kamryn and his buddies had just as much fun riding to and from Hanksville in the R.V. as they did actually riding their motorcycles. Kamryn's getting to be a pretty good little rider. Wyatt said that the little boys would make a track out of anything. I'm glad that they all had a good time. There was no phone reception in Hanksville, so I didn't talk to Wyatt until they were on their way home. As I was talking to him about their trip, I asked Wyatt if all the bikes ran good and if anyone got hurt. He responded with "everything ran great, and everyone was o.k.  I might have been unconscious for a little while".  I guess he had a pretty bad wreck were he was knocked unconscious for a little bit. I think he may have bruised his ribs because he was pretty sore for over a week, but other than that he was just fine. He didn't even have any scrapes and scratches. His wreck happened on Friday, and Saturday he just took some Motrin and rode all day. He wasn't going to let a silly wreck keep him from having a great weekend. I'm just glad that I wasn't there, and that they both came back in one piece. I guess Kamryn had a little bit of a wreck too. It wasn't his fault, but I guess one of the guys jumped a hill and clipped the back of Kamryn's tire as he landed. It could have been ugly, but again I'm just so grateful he was o.k. and I didn't see it happen. I'm glad they have a good group of friends that they can go and have fun with, but I think it's a good idea for them to take Doctor Woodward with them every year.

Halloween 2008

Doesn't my Sadie bug make a cute little ladybug!
Hand-me-down costumes are always a winner.

Brynli went to a Hannah Montana themed birthday party about a month ago, and has known what she wanted to be for Halloween ever since. I think she is much cuter than the real Hannah Montana.

Derek wanted to be Darth Vader this year. He didn't really love the mask, so most of the time he had the mask off. I think he just wanted a new lightsaber. 

Kamryn's costume was all his own idea. I tried to talk him out of it, but he really wanted to wear his wig from last year and be a cheerleader. I tried to tell him that boys don't dress like girls, but he remembered seeing a pictures of his dad many years ago (see previous post). I guess he won. He sure was a hit at the ward party. He talked with a girly voice and even got up on the stage and did a cheer for everyone. What a nut!

Here is a couple of pictures of the whole gang. Everyone had a great Halloween. We went to our ward party, where we ate soup, played a few games, and then did the trunk-or-treat. Kamryn then thought he needed to go with his friends, and the rest of us went to Wyatt's parents house and his grandma's house. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it was a full night.

On Saturday, Sadie decided that she needed to dress up in Brynli's Hannah Montana costume, wig and all. She thought she was pretty cute. I couldn't resist taking pictures of this little rock star.
