Amber tagged me again! We are the most boring old people I know! Oh well! Here goes:
1. What is his name? Wynn Clyde (yes, Clyde! What was his mother thinking?)
2. Who eats more? Sometimes him, sometimes me.
3. Who said "I love you" first? I did, but it was in shorthand and he wasn't supposed to guess what it said. Of course he did and I was embarrassed until he whispered it back to me!
4. Who is taller? He is at 5'11'', I am 5'5".
5. Who is smarter? He is smarter about some things and I am about others.
6. Who is more sensitive? Definitely me. He is of the old school where sensitivity was a female problem!
7. Who does the laundry? I think Wynn has done approximately 2 loads of laundry in our 35 years of marriage. He definitely knows how to make it dirty! He will wear holey socks from the drawer before he remembers to look in the dryer for clean socks!
8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do, it is closer to the window that I like to keep open for fresh air.
9. Who pays the bills? I do.
10.Who cooks more? It is pretty equal right now. Before the kids moved out, I did all the cooking except for BBQ. I don't cook much now that the kids are gone. Wynn is still king of the grill!
11. What meals do you cook together? Occasionally a light dinner for just the two of us.
12. Who is more stubborn? We are both pretty stubborn and neither one of us likes to give in and admit that we are wrong.
13. Who is the first to admit they're wrong? Neither one of us is good at it. Most times we just agree to disagree.
14. Who has more siblings? Wynn does, he has 6 siblings, 4 brothers and 2 sisters, I have 1 brother.
15. Who wears the pants in the relationship? At this point in our relationship we probably share that pair of pants in most things. Spiritually, Wynn definitely!
16. What do you like to do together? Sit back and watch our family as it grows and changes. We chuckle a lot!
17. Who eats more sweets? Me, no question!
18. His guilty pleasures? Tinkering with anything rather than tackling the mile long list of honey do's.
19. How did you meet? We first met when he was dating my close friend. A long story but they had been apart for months before he asked me out!
20. Who asked who out first? He asked me out for a motor cycle ride into the mountains on a Sunday afternoon the 2nd day of January. His motorcycle got a flat tire in a very small town in the mountains outside of L.A. All the stores were closed so we sat on a curb on the main street and waited for his friend to drive all the way up there to get us. We had nothing to do but talk to pass the time. That was when I realized that I wanted to get to know this guy better!
21. Who proposed? He did, sort of. We really just started talking about it, there really wasn't a formal proposal.
22. Who kissed who first? He kissed me, (that was the way it was done way back then!) but I am sure he caught enough signals from me to know it was OK (that's also the way a woman did it back then!!)
23. His best features? His blue eyes. His dirty, rough hands - to me they represent his hard work and commitment to taking care of me and our family.
24. His greatest quality? That he goes to work every day, long days, even though the job is not always pleasant. No matter what, he has always believed that he is the provider and caretaker of this family and it is his job to make sure everyone is taken care of. He has passed that on to our children, they are all hard workers albeit in different ways!

I have been tagged by Amber and I am supposed to tell you 6 little known facts about me. Since I am just pretty boring, this is going to be long and painful! Here goes:
- I kissed my first boy when I was in 5th grade, his name was Alex Ayala, he was my first love!
- I used to hitch hike to the beach with my friends before we could drive! Was it safer then?
- I love to go to Aneheim Stadium and watch the Angels play.
- Being a mom has been the best thing I have ever done in my life!
- I love to sit back and watch my own children and the way they parent.
- I have cried to get out of getting a speeding ticket. Shame on me!
Derek's first year playing ball. This was his turn to play catcher and the coach kept telling him to stand up, but Derek knows the correct position for a catcher to be in and that is where he stayed! He looks so tiny and cute! It is so fun for me to go to the kids' games, it bring back memories of all the many, many, MANY, games I sat through with my own kids. There is nothing like sitting in the bleachers watching little league; it wouldn't be summer without it!!
Melanie, Megan and I went up to Amber's house in Brigham City and spent 3 days scrapbooking, talking non-stop, sleeping little, soothing crying babies and bored kids, eating a lot, and generally just having a blast! (Amber is the one taking the picture) Michele was going to be gone for several weekends in a row and decided to sit this one out. We missed her and hopefully she will be at the next get together, it isn't the same without her! This picture is the 1, 2, 3 swing game and the babies loved it every time we played it!
Chicken Hunter
The neighbors were given some live chickens as a practical joke and one of them fly over the fence into our yard. I couldn't get it to go home, and I was tired of it pooping all over the patio so Megan tried to catch it to throw it back over the fence. Well, she just ended up chasing it all over until it finally flew into a tree. I was laughing so hard that I didn't get very good pictures. Finally, I just went to the Halls and asked for help in getting their chicken back home. They sent their son over and between the two of us we trapped it, he caught it, and back home it went. Do you think they gave it to the practical jokers or had it for dinner? Humm?
Grandma's New Toy!!!
Grandma's new toy! I aways thought only men had "toys" but Wynn got me this scooter for my birthday and I love it!!! I ride it everywhere I can, weather and carry space providing. Who would of thought - Grandma is a biker babe!
