I'm slow at the game of tag.....my life is just hectic these days.......but here goes:)
NAME: Richard..sometimes honey, dear, sweetheart...whatever is most endearing at any given moment:)
How long been married: 25 years in July
How long did you date: 9 months before we got married
How old: Really old (sorry dear)
Who eats more sweets: Probably me, but he can give me a run for my money:)
Who said I love you first: I think I did??
Who is taller: He is, but he's shrinking because he's so old ...gotta have a little fun here:)
Who can sing better: His beautiful singing voice is one quality about him I've always loved....we like to sing together:)
Who is smarter: He is.....my brain cannot retain anything for very long. He on the other hand retains most all of what he reads and is one of the most knowlegable people I know of the scriptures and the gospel:)
Who does the laundry: We both do....especially since he is home more now that he is semi retired:)
Who mows the lawn: Mostly him and the boys....Josh especially loves doing yard work
Who cooks: This is one I must say I do. He can make a great breakfast and a few other things, but he was very spoiled growing up with a mother and 5 older sisters catering to his every need...therefore he doesn't cook:) Oh, I take that back....he can BBQ hamburgers too:)
Who drives: We both do. He usually does, depends on what vehicle we're driving. I too am a backseat driver (I want control), but he has always called me his co-pilot and is usually very pleasant about my driving critiques. If I push him though, he will ask if I want him to pull over so I can drive:)
Who's more stubborn: We are blissfully happy and will both give in for the sake of our marriage:) Hee Hee!!
Who kissed who first: I waited what seemed like forever and one night I stuck my face in front of his waiting. I think we both kissed at the same time...with my help:)
Who asked who out first: He did....though I was young and starry eyed. I told him "I'd go anywhere with you"
Who proposed: I was very suprised when he proposed to me. It was very sweet:)
Who has more siblings: He does by 1....5 sisters & 1 brother
Who wears the pants: We both do and sometimes I can even wear his (literally)
Jenny...in a nice way this actually means which one of us is in charge of the family....
The parents had a fun time gathering at Rachels house for pictures.
Don't they look nice?
They had dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory.
Richard drove with him over to where the dance was being held this afternoon so he would know how to get there....OMSI over in Portland.
But being directionally challenged as he is (even with directions) they got lost and only arrived at the dance moments ago. It's an adventure they will always remember!!! (I couldn't wait to blog the pictures)
I'm slow at the game of tag.....my life is just hectic these days.......but here goes:)
We celebrated Mom's birthday over at Ron's new house. It was a beautiful day. We had a bbq on the back deck. Here's Mom with little Ronnie and Dana (Tami's daughter). Tami made a yummy angel food cake with a delicious homemade frosting. Mom looked beautiful in the new outfit Debi sent her.
The kids had a great time running around playing outside. I was pretty lame about taking pictures, so this is all you get. Here Bob and Ron enjoy posing for me:) When it got too cold outside we came in....below are Mom and Bob with Richard. Ron's house is beautiful...I wish I had taken one of the outside from the street. Next time:)
wow!! I CANNOT believe a year has passed since the BIG day!! Tonight as I was getting Mom out of my van as we returned home from her birthday party at Ron's house it was like a deja vu moment. It was exactly one year ago tonight that I was getting her out of my van (same time too) after Jenny and Logans wedding dinner the night before the wedding.
Thought you might like to see the cute treats I made for a recent church meeting. I had never made them before and was a bit timid about doing it. Turned out to be very easy.
You can buy the rolled refrigerated cookies from the store or use your own recipe. Roll out some dough....I used a large cup to cut them out. Bake, cool and frost with cream cheese frosting. (1 pkg. cream cheese at room temp., 1/2 c powdered sugar and 1 t vanilla)...choose whatever fruit you want. Ideas for fruit: strawberries, kiwi, mandarin oranges, canned pineapple bits, grapes. You can even be more creative than I was, but have fun!!! I had so much making them I plan on making more for the teachers at school next week.
