Happy 10th Anniversary!

Today Scott and I are celebrating our tenth wedding anniversary! I can't believe it has been that long and at the same time it seems like we have been together forever. I am very lucky to have such an awesome husband. He is my best friend, we have so much in common and like doing a lot of the same things. He takes such good care of me and our family. I am so blessed to be married to him and am glad we have an eternity to be together. In honor of our 10 years I came up with the 10 things I love most about him (in no particular order).

1. He is a worthy priesthood holder

2. He is forgiving of my shortcomings

3. He is patient (most of the time haha) when I am annoying or this kids are driving me crazy he can step in and help.

4. He is creative, he comes up with the best gift ideas for everyone not just me, he is great with school projects and other things we need around the house etc.

5. He is a great dad, he knows how to respond to each kid differently and help them to learn from whatever the situation might be (which is good since I always tell them to go talk to dad about it!).

6. He is a hard worker and has at different times in our marriage worked more than one job so that I would be able to stay home with the kids and not want for anything. He also is willing to help his co-workers out and is willing to help others.

7. He is a good cook (much better than I am) and is willing to cook. He cooks most the time, I am always saying "I was going to let you cook this or that tonight" and he does it with no complaining (probably cuz otherwise he wouldn't get to eat!), he is always trying new things and different recipes, unfortunately for him his wife and kids are very picky, good thing his family is close by to try his food out on!

8. He loves to learn, He has been doing a Mesa leadership class and is planning on going back to school this fall for his masters. He will most likely be attending school of some kind or another until the day he dies. That pans out good for me in the eternities :) j/k

9. He is very smart. He is asked by his brothers and sometimes nieces for help on homework, if he doesn't know the answer to something he knows how to find out the answer.

10.He always gives me compliments. He will comment on how nice the house looks or how pretty I look etc. That is a good way to make a girl feel good!

So as you can see, I definately got the better end of the deal. I am very grateful to you Scott and love you so much! Happy anniversary!

Random Brig Pictures!

While looking for some pictures I was wanting to blog of Lila (that I couldn't find), I came across several of Brig that really made me smile so I thought I would share.

The top picture Brig fell asleep at the counter. He was suppose to be getting his homework page to work on but he got a little side tracked. Next Brig is climbing over the fence this past summer when he was only 3 1/2 years old to catch up with his brothers. They love to play in the "desert" and instead of walking two houses over to cut through some neighbor boys showed them the faster way of hoping the fence. I was shocked he was actually able to get over the little monkey! He is in his pj's and no shoes of coarse. Next up is the "fort" my kids made one of these practically everyday last summer they would get all comfy and watch movies when it was way too hot outside to be out. They had fun and even slept in a few of them.

Seriously??? Where did this kid come from? He can hardly even tip the carton up to get a drink and where did he even get the idea to do this Mr. "too lazy to get a cup"!

Our tv is pretty high up. It sits above our fireplace and I just had to take a picture of him playing video games because he looks extremely uncomfortable, even if he would have laid down the other way, that would have made more sense than this.

Brig wanted to start a rock collection. When he asked if he could I said sure but they have to stay outside. After a while he came to get me wanting to show me his new rock collection and this is what I stepped outside to see. Not pictured the rocks also follow the sidewalk all the way down to our drive way. Silly boy. He did a great job lining them up nice and neat though.

Hopefully soon I can find the pics I wanted of Lila and Blog some more!
