This time it's about the husbands...

1. What is his name? Matthew Cannon
2. Who eats more? HIM!!
3. Who said "I love you" first? Him (on our second "date")!!
4. Who is taller? Him, by almost a foot! (he's 6'2", I'm 5'3")
5. Who is smarter? We're both smart...he's smart where I'm not, and vice versa.
6. Who is more sensitive? haha!! Meeeeee!
7. Who does the laundry? Me...I don't know if he even knows where the laundry room is-haha
8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? standing @ the foot looking @ it, I do.
9. Who pays the bills? I do, but he makes the $$
10. Who cooks more? I do (scary, right? 'cause I never cook!)
11. What meals do you cook together? When we cook out (all the time in the summer), he grills, and I make the inside stuff.
12. Who is more stubborn? Me
13. Who is the first to admit they're wrong? Probably him, I'm getting better tho :)
14. Who has more siblings? Him (he has 5, I have 1)
15. Who wears the pants in the relationship? I'm gonna have to quote Sarah and say we both have a leg in. We each have issues we're tough on, but luckily it's not usually the same ones.
16. What do you like to do together? We just love to be together. We like to go out to eat, do any activities with the kids, visiting family, vacations (I wish more often), dates (I wish more often), just playing with the kids. A lot of times when we're just home, if one's doing something (yardwork, basement work, folding clothes, cooking, etc) we want the other one to just be near so we can talk to eachother.
17. Who eats more sweets? Him
18. His guilty pleasures? Food, roulette (only like once a year on a golf trip), basketball (he'd tell ya he's gettin' too old for it), ESPN, if he's ever home during the day, trashy daytime tv shows (Judge whoever, Jerry Springer, etc)
19. How did you meet? In Texas while he was serving his mission. He was in our ward for like 8 months and was helping my brother get motivated for a mission, so we had missionaries over for dinner a lot, and noticed eachother ;)
20. Who asked who out first? I guess I did, after he left Texas, it had been almost a year since we spoke (he called after he got home from TX), and I was up visiting my parents during Thanksgiving break, and I called him. We got together the last 2 days I was in town.
21. Who proposed? Him
22. Who kissed who first? I don't really remember who...I'm pretty sure it was mutual ;)
23. His best features? Tall, dark hair, tan, hard worker, masculine, funny, silly, very loving, very supportive, patient with me, smart, motivated, active, I could go on and on.....
24. His greatest quality? see #23 ;)
25. Tag: Suzie, Nicole, Whitney, Amber, Krystal

::little punkins::

Today the kids and I went to up to Grandpa Halling's house to plant some pumpkin seeds. They each got to plant 2 pumpkins (white and orange). Addyson and Krystal had already planted theirs, but hung around for a bit and watched Chloe and Porter plant some too. They got to dig a little hole, put the seeds in, and water it. They love this kind of stuff, and I think wearing the John Deere boots for this type of work made it even better :)

::runnin' on your butt::

We were back down @ Grandma and Papa-with-the-kitty's house again this last weekend. We went down friday night and came home Saturday. Liam had his 3rd birthday party on Saturday afternoon. It was pretty fun, but me, being smart as I am, forgot to put my memory card in my camera!! So I don't have any pictures from the party. It was a "Cars" party with lots of cute decorations, games and a little "Cars" cake. We went back to Mom and Kevin's house afterwards 'cause they just got a trampoline and some sprinklers for it. The kids had SOOO much fun! Liam & Tristan came over too...they were a little scared at first to play on the tramp or in the water, but warmed up and started playing with the other kids. Papa-with-the-kitty was playing games with them on the tramp-duck, duck, goose and he was "running on his butt" haha.

They played duck, duck, goose, but none of the kids really understood how to play, so when "goose" was called, they all just got up and ran around. It was cute :)

::Papa Guitar's visit::

So my dad has been visiting this weekend from Colorado, and he spent two days here with us. So, to keep him busy, I put him to work!! It's not that bad though...he loves this kind of stuff (at least I hope he does-haha)!! He babysat, spread some grass seed, raked weeds, cleaned out the back of the truck, planted some rose bushes, hung some flower baskets, made a trip to the recycle center, and took us to lunch!!

The rosebushes & baskets...








The kids "helped" too...

::busy weekend::

We had a lot goin' on this last weekend. Papa-with-the-guitar was in town so we went to my brother's new apartment and had dinner and let all the kids play. They had lots of fun together and it was good to see their new place. We went to the Gateway on Saturday with grandma & papa-with-the-kitty and got some new "twirly squirts" (twirly skirts) for Miss

Chloe and saw all the cool sidewalk chalk designs. I guess it's a competition they have down there every year. It's crazy how good these pictures are! They use tons of chalk an blend it so well it looks like paint instead of chalk. And we stayed at Grandma & Papa-with-the-kitty's house "for two nights!!" The kids had so much fun down there with them cause they got to see them right when they woke up and got to go to her little playground by her house (Porter thought it'd be fun to go down the slide like a turtle on his back-haha) and cook with her. They thought it was a vacation!!

::$60 bucks well spent::

So we have this tiny sandbox that the kids (and the neighbor kids) LOVE, but with all the use it got, it ran out of sand. So this morning we went and got new, colored sand and lots of new shovels and toys for it. They LOVE it! It looked cool for about 10 minutes with all the different

colors, and now that it's been all mixed together it's kind of just purple, but still fun. Thanks, Crayola, for inventing colored sand (why didn't I think of that?)!!

::hot date::

Last night we couldn't decide what to do. Movie? Nah, too tired to sit through Narnia. Basement? Nah, next step is wiring, and we need some help. Homework? Naaaah. Nobody wants to do homework! So we decided to go eat, but the kids were going cRaZy 'cause they've been inside most of the week 'cause of the weather. So we went to McDonalds and ate and talked while they played. Jealous, right?

::any time is naptime::

"chloe?!?" no answer. when i went to find her, she was laying just like this; half on Matt's nightstand and half on the bed. The nightstand is as good a place as any for a nap, right?

::little gymnast::

A couple weeks ago, Chloe finished up her gymnastics and had a performance night. She did great! We got to see how much she's learned throughout the year and how strong she's gotten. Plus she was really funny, so that's always fun. Porter's favorite part was the end (probably cause the floor was empty and he could do what "Choey" was doing).
