Playing in the snow!



Well for all of us who have had too much snow...here we are trying to make the best of it!

Isaac and his "blankey"





Let me explain this picture.....

The other night, after the boys were asleep, I went in to check on them and I found this. Notice the big bulge between Isaac's legs...it is his "blankey". Isaac has stuffed his blanket down his pants. Weird child...I don't know where he learned that!

I got tagged by my wonderful sister Jenn. I have never done this before so here it goes.

What's his (your husband's) name? Kevin Clark Reese

How long have you been together? This July it will be EIGHT years!

How long did you date? Kevin and I knew each other in high school but did not date until after his mission. We started dating in February and we were engaged in March and married on July 20, 2000 (my husband knows all the exact dates and times).

How old is he? Kevin is 29.

Who eats more? Right now, because I am pregnant and eating for two, I definitely eat more.

Who said I love you first? Kevin said it first but I was quick to follow!

Who is taller? Kevin

Who is smarter? This is a trick question…Kevin would say he was and I would say I am. I guess it is safe to say that we both have our own areas of smartness!

Who does laundry? Me, mostly because I am home. If Kevin were home he would do the laundry...he likes to do it!

Who does the dishes? Kevin usually always does the dishes, this week he has kind of been slacking but don’t worry I will remind him.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Kevin does right now, but same as Jenn’s answer, it depends what house we are in. I am always by the door for quick access to children...although they still go over to Kevin's side when they come in.(I guess I am a mean mom or something)

Who pays the bills? Kevin is my money guy…he tells when, where and how much I can spend!
Most of our bills are automatically deducted so I guess the computer pays our bills.

Who mows the lawn? Anyone who knows Kevin will think that is an easy question. Kevin mows lawns (we have no lawn right now, just dirt…maybe in the spring) but Kevin mows 4 other peoples lawns…I hope he has time for ours this summer!

Who cooks dinner? I cook dinner. I love cooking and Kevin and my boys are good at eating whatever I prepare.

Who drives when you are together? Kevin, Kevin , Kevin….I guess this goes along with Jenn’s answer that her husband doesn’t like to ride in the car when she is driving (control freak or something). It drives Kevin crazy to ride when I am driving. I guess it’s a Reese thing…right Jenn (did we marry cousins?).

Who is more stubborn? We take turns with this one. Kevin usually is but I can hold my own.

Who kissed who first? Kevin kissed me first. After a date he said there was one more thing that would make this night perfect and then he kissed me. So sweet!

Who asked out who first? Kevin asked me out. He took me to the Grizzly’s Hockey game (I love Hockey…man we haven’t been to a game in years) and we also went to eat at the old Salt City Jail (which no longer exists).

Who proposed? Kevin. I had been in Mexico for a week with my girlfriends and the night I got home I was sick with “Montezumas Revenge” (I don’t know how to spell that…it means sour stomach/bad Mexican food). Kevin took me out to eat and then for a ride up in the mountains. We had talked about marriage but had planned on looking for rings when I got back. Anyways up in the mountains Kevin said that when we did pick out a ring he might be nervous about how to ask me so he wanted to practice…so we were roll playing and then all the sudden he was down on his knee and he pulled out a ring box. My first thought was this is a mean joke or he really has a ring. Needless to say he opened it and I saw the exact ring that I wanted. I have never been more surprised in my life…I had no idea it was coming! Kevin has always been good at surprising me.

Who has more siblings? Kevin. Kevin has six siblings and I have four.

Who wears the pants in the family? Kevin wears the pants. I have heard it said like this…Kevin is the head of the family but I control the neck!

Boys growing up


Well, I am starting to feel old. Isaac my baby (for only 4 more weeks) is now officially a sunbeam. I no longer have a child in nursery. Brandon is a CTR6 and Kevin is the teacher of the CTR5 and so all 3 of my boys are in the Jr. Primary together. I feel so left out. I peek through the window just to make sure that Kevin is being reverant. I wasn't sure what Isaac would think of primary instead of nursery but he sat there reverently in his seat the whole time and did not move a muscle...Brandon on the other hand was more wiggly but still paid attention and did not disrupt others and I guess Kevin was reverent also...he is old enough to know better...ya right....although I did give Kevin the be reverent talk along with Isaac and Brandon.
