Well, things have been pretty slow around here lately so I haven't really been blogging that much but I was looking at old pictures of Jaiden tonight and thought I would post some of my favorites. He is so small in these pictures.



We love our little Jaiden boy!

Tagged Again

Well, it's been awhile since I've been tagged and I actually haven't done this one yet so here it goes...


1. What is your husband's name? Justin Edward Lyman

2. Who eats more? regular food, Justin...junk food, me

3. Who said, "I love you" first? He did.

4. Who is taller? Justin, thank goodness

5. Who is smarter? He is

6. Who is more sensitive? I am.

7. Who does the laundry? me

8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do

9. Who pays the bills? I do. (I mean I write the check :), Justin earns the money though, not sure which is right here.)

10. Who cooks more? I do.

11. Who is more stubborn? oh that might be a tie..

12. Who is the first to admit they are wrong? hmm, we're both bad at that

13. Who has more siblings? Him, by one. He has 7 I have 6

14. Who wears the pants in the relationship? Justin. He keeps this crazy house under control

15. What do you like to do together? Watch movies and our favorite TV shows, go to the park, go for drives, eat smoothies, laugh and be weird

16. Who eats more sweets? oh that's definitely me

17. Guilty Pleasures? expensive hot cocoa and smoothies

18. How did you meet? that's a tough one that could need many answers. We were in the same ward so we always saw each other but we were both shy. I talked to him once in our sunday school class. My family invited his family over for a BBQ. (but I still wouldn't talk to him there, at all) we went on a winter hay ride around town with the youth and I sat by him so I guess that could count.

19. Who asked whom out first? He asked me to Prom for our first date. Pretty good, eh?

20. Who kissed who first? well, he asked me if he could have a kiss and I kissed him so i guess it was both of us.

21. Who proposed? He did.

22. His best features and qualities? He's so smart. He can adapt and figure out almost anything that you need him too. He has a great smile and a funny (and sarcastic) sense of humor. He is great with kids. There isn't a baby that doesn't like him. He can always make them smile even if they don't know him. And he always knows how to make me smile when I've had a bad day (or even when I've had a good day).

Freezing But Still Having Fun!


The fall chill has finally come to Blanding.  Jaiden still tries to have fun outside everyday even if it is freezing. 


Our first snowfall. Jaiden loved it! He was in Arizona last winter so he didn't really get to play in the snow.

Blessings

I am feeling really blessed to be living in Blanding right now. We have a good home, we both have
some family here and Justin has a good job. The Lord has definitely given us so much to be thankful for. Last week, I added two more things on the list of blessings.
1. My visiting teacher (I only have one instead of two right now) has been so good on looking out for me and helping me when I need it. She mentioned to me that she needed a grader for her English papers. (she is a college professor) I told her I could definitely help her out. So I am now editing English papers in the afternoon while Jaiden takes his nap. It's good that I can help a little bit with the finances now.
2. The bishop came by to our house and asked if I could be the Young Women 2nd counselor in our new ward. I was so excited because that was the same position that I was in down in Douglas and I am so glad to be working with the Young Women again. I will miss the Sunbeams though. They were the cutest kids.
So I am happy to be doing what I am doing now. I am SO much more busy now than I was a week or two go but it is a good kind of busy and I am thankful to Justin for being patient with all of the craziness that is going on now.

Happy Halloween!!

We had sort of a rough Halloween this year, because Jaiden is going through a phase right now where he doesn't want to sleep. So he wasn't in the best of mood for Halloween night. That being said, I didn't get very many good pictures. Sorry. But he's still looks cute in the ones that we did get.


Jaiden getting into his costume.
We were practicing before we left and he couldn't figure out why I put 
the candy in his bag instead of giving it to him.
