Sweet

Ultimate Surprise

It has been super busy around here lately and I have neglected my blog...but I'm back!! We celebrated Alexandra’s birthday last weekend and she got the surprise of her life!!! We had secretly arranged for her big sister Mykee to fly in from Arizona. Mykee saved up some of her hard earned money for the flight to Utah with a little help from us. Alex had no idea that she would be coming. Carter picked Mykee up at the airport last Friday night. I had pre-wrapped a box (thanks to Susie for the box)that she could just climb into once she got to the house. When she arrived at the house, she hopped in the box, we taped it shut and then Carter went to get Alex to tell her she had a special present she could open a few days before her birthday. She was loving how big the box was...I am sure she was thinking that this was going to be an awesome present. When she opened up the big box and Mykee climbed out….. she was completely speechless!!!! I thought for sure she would scream, but I think she was trying to comprehend how Mykee got here and was in the box. Too funny!!! We had a great weekend celebrating her birthday…I was hoping to post the video of her opening the box but everytime I try it doesn't work. If I can get it to work I will post it later. :) It was the best!!! When asked what her favorite present was she replied without hesitation "MYKEE!". Mykee is back home now but she was able to spend an entire week with us. We miss her and can't wait until she and Bryton come over the Christmas break.

TAGGED!

I have been tagged by my friend Jenny...here it goes

Husband...

What is his name? Carter a.k.a Big "C" (that is for your enjoyment Chelsidy) :)

How long have you been together? We will celebrate 10 years in 2008. We met on New Years Eve just before midnight, so needless to say that holiday has a special place in our hearts!!

Who eats more? Definitely him

Who said I love you first? He did :)

Who is taller? That would be him!!!

Who sings better? I do, but I give him an A for effort!

Who is smarter? Hmmm.. we have our strengths in different areas I would have to put us as equals ..I know there are things he knows that I could not even want to comprehend and vice versa.

Who does the laundry? I do mostly.

Who does the dishes? He does if he makes it home in time to eat dinner w/ us. I do if he is not here.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do at home, but if we are anywhere else he seems to take the right. It doesn't make sense but it always ends up that way and I laugh about it.

Who pays the bills? He does though I think he is ready to have me take over.

Who mows the lawn? The past 3 summers I have, he was busy finishing the basement, various projects throughout the house and then work, work, work. I enjoy it though, like vacuuming! I like the lines.

Who cooks dinner? Mostly me, though he is known to whip together a great meal when we have hardly any food left. I am always amazed!!!

Who drives when you are together? He does, I prefer to be the passenger.

Who is more stubborn? I would say I am.

Who is the first to admit when they're wrong? He is.

Whose parents do you see the most? Mine because we live close by them, however, I love Carter's family and wish they could all live up here too!

Who kissed who first? Carter did of course!

Who proposed? He did. At the time we were in Utah visiting my family. He planned a special date and took me to temple square. He led me to the visitors center up where the Christus is. He was telling me that this is the spot his where his dad proposed to his mom. I was thinking to myself, what a cool spot...the next thing I knew he was on one knee w/ the ring asking if I would marry him. I was in total shock, because I was not expecting it, but of course said YES!!

Who is more sensitive? He is

Who has more siblings? He does by 1...there 2 brothers & 2 sisters. I have 2 brothers & 1 sister.

Who wears the pants in the family? I would say we both have our own leg. Sometimes he's in front, sometimes I am, but most the time we stand side by side.

TAG: I would love all my friends to do this...it was fun!
