Moon Boots





After a long day of playing outside in the nice semi-warm weather I fought to get Garrick's clothes off, he cried. Then I went with him to get some pajamas and I came out of the room with his pajamas but no Garrick. I didn't worry he plays in his room sometimes. After a minute he came in with a moon boot and asked me to put it on, remember now that he is not fully clothed, just a diaper. After I put the one on he asked for another, I told him to go and find it. Needless to say he came back and he was happily booted. I conned him into letting me put his pajamas on but wouldn't let me take his boots off. So we actually had to put him down with his boots on. It is adorably and hilariously reminiscent of a family vacation to Mexico when Chann(my little sis) would not take her boots off. What is also funny is I always thought I was going to be that tough mom who wouldn't let my kids get away with silly things like that. I guess I didn't realize how endearing their quirks are. Enjoy. Laugh.

Bath Buddies

We've been going to Carl's parents quite a bit lately. We usually give Garrick a bath sometime when we're there. Well it just so happens that Carl's brother Scott's little boy was there and he and Garrick were getting along so well that when Garrick got in the tub Landon got ready to get in the tub too. They were so cute, each kind of doing their own thing. The really funny thing is that Landon is about 6 months older than Garrick, notice the size difference.

Tagged

I know, I know I blogged yesterday and I just recently did a tag. But. . . I need a break from a hectic day at work and I thought this one was so cute. Carl will think I'm a dork but thats why he loves me.

What is his name? Carl Ryan Bench

How long have you been married? 6 years 7 months

Who long did you date? 2 months and engaged for 3. We knew when we knew and didn't see any sense in waiting, I know it was short.

How old is he? 28 almost 29.

Who eats more sweets? He eats more sweets. I am the salt and (I'm with you Mandy) cheese eater.

Who said I love you first? Him, he almost said it after we had only been dating 2 weeks but he refrained but it drove me crazy because I felt like he was always about to say something. We'd only dated about a month.

Who is taller? Carl, we fit perfect when I wear heals.

Who can sing better? I think I am probaly better but only because he won't sing unless we are at church. I don't even think he sings in the car.

Who is smarter? He is because he works harder. I only know stuff I want to know.

Who does the laundry? We both do. He works from home on Friday and will do it a lot then but we both do it equally. Now if only we could get someone to fold the laundry. Takers??

Who pays the bills? I do. Viva online banking.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Me if you're facing the bed, him if you're laying on it. Ditto

Who mows the lawn? We both do, I try to do it more in the summer since he is at work all day. You should see the looks I got from the neighbors when I would put Ick man in the backpack and mow away.

Who cooks dinner? I do usually, but he will once in a while. Our fix. I spend a day doing freezer meals and then we are set, it is the best.

Who drives? He hates to let me drive. He likes to be in control.

Who is more stubborn? I wish we were less stubborn and it is close but I think he is I am just emotional.

Who kissed who first? He wanted me to and we spent this silly night him trying to get me to kiss him. I won in the end and he finally kissed me, we had been dating for I think 2 weeks.

Who asked who out first? He asked me to a movie. Other than that we mostly hung out we didn't really "date."

Who proposed? Carl. He might argue that we'd talked about it and I finally said so when are we goining to get married. But the whole story goes like this, if Leah Ohlin reads this she will laugh. We actually were coming up to Roy and the ring was done so we stopped to pick it up, Leah hitched a ride home from Snow with us and he let her look at it but I'd not seen the finished product. He was cute, and he'll tell you he's not a romantic, we dropped Leah off at Roy 66 and he took me to Municiple Park, he said he didn't me to go home without the ring again so we were in one of those pavilians and he got down on one knee.

Who has more siblings? Me for sure.

Who wears the pants? We both try to. I think he will want me to say him but we do a good job sharing the pants although his are really big on me I wore some the other day and he laughed out loud at me.

Okay your turn, everyone else on my pathetically short friends list.

It's a GIRL!!

So we've known for a while but I was nervous about posting that we're having a girl because the last ultrasound was when I was only 14 weeks. But she still doesn't have any boy parts which is really exciting. I am pumped because I am no longer outnumbered and so now I can do a cute pink background for the blog without offending the boys. Garrick is so cute and he pats my belly and tells little sister that he loves her and he'll sing to her. The funny thing is that he makes me lift my shirt up, he can't talk to her through any fabric. Anyway, I am excited about beginning the shopping (otherwise we'll end up in debt) and the blanket making. What is great is that the boys are exicted too!

Tagged.

Well, I've never been tagged and since I am new to the blogging scene I thought I'd clue you in on 6 habits you probably don't know about me.

1. I slurp the milk from the spoon when I eat cereal. Which drives Carl nuts and I am working on it.

2. When I am frustrated or upset I clean. NOt that I don't clean normally but I do clean weird things such as organizing the closet or one of the cupboards.

3. I a bit narcaleptic after about 8:30 in the evening. I usually have a great nap before bed time. This is not just a pregnant lady habit either, it is normal for me.

4. I have to put my pants on before I put my shirt on.

5. When I eat I always leave a bite or two on my plate instead of finishing it all. I think it makes me feel like I am not eating as much.

6. I still check Garrick a couple of times a night, at least once in the middle of the night, to make sure that he is breathing.

I am not a very habitual person so this was hard for me to come up with 6. I hope it isn't as hard for Jodi, Laura, Mandy, and Leah.
