I swear, I just posted pictures of Andrew's FIRST day of Kindergarten. What is going on here?!?!?!?! The kids in his class are so cute, and have all grown up a lot. I got to be the room mom this year and I was able to get to know all the kids. I should have been a kindergarten teacher instead of a music teacher. They just make me smile. Andrew and his best buddy Golden got put in the same 1st grade class next year too!!! They were both so happy about that.

I GOT TAGGED

Who Do You Love? Oh great, now I have that song in my head...I love Justin, my kids, my siblings and my best friend Janers
How Long Have You Been Married? 7 years
Who Said I Love You First? Justin did. I was so freaked out, I just played it off. He said it first in French and when he asked if I knew what that meant, I said Yes, and changed the subject.
How Long Did you Date? about a week, but we knew each other for over a year before that
Where Did He Propose? Which time? Officially, it was in his apartment
Who Is Taller? Justin
Who Is Smarter? Book smart? Justin. Street smart? ME
Who Does The Laundry? That would be me
Who Pays The Bills? Justin makes most of the money, but I do all the paying
Who Mows The Lawn? ME!!!
Who Cooks Dinner? Me...ALL THE TIME

Who Drives? Usually me-I like to drive unless we're on a date and then he does

Thanks to Ashlee for tagging me, I tag Becky Z. and Lisa Y.

Fun with Uncle Jake

So Uncle Jake got to come for two days and spend some time with us. My boys idolize their Uncle Jake, and I think he's kinda fond of them, too. We've been having a fun time!!! Uncle Jake works at the corporate offices for Hollywood Video in Wilsonville, OR and gets all kinds of stuff from movie promos. So he brought my boys these cardboard cut-outs of Alvin and the Chipmunks. What's weird is that the boys were wearing the colors of the Chipmunks that day, just by coincidence. How cute is this!!!

New house in Rexburg

Ok, so here are some pictures of the new house in Rexburg. The basement will be finished in a few weeks and we move in June 20, assuming our home here in IF sells before then. It's 3100 sqft., 6B/3b, full basement, on 3/4 acre. And it's only 1 1/2 years old. We're getting a steal on it. I'm excited about the house but sad to leave here. Check it out!!!
