Even though I was the first girl to be married in our family, both of my future brothers-in-law were at our wedding. I believe John and Jenilyn were engaged (or about to be), and Rose and Josh were just barely dating, with Josh about to leave on his mission. I thought that was pretty cool and I love these pictures of them.
How long have you been together? 4 years, 4 months
How long did you date? About 2 months
How old is he? 25 but he’ll be 26 in June
Who eats more? Definitely Jason. But when I’m pregnant, it’s pretty even.
Who said "I love you" first? I think Jason did.
Who is taller? Jason
Who sings better? He would say that I do, but I think I just have a better ear for music.
Who is smarter? We’re smart about different things. Jason is good with numbers and memorization, and I’m better with maps/geography and history.
Who does the laundry? I do. It’s the one chore I actually like to do.
Who does the dishes? We both do, but Jason takes over when we have a new baby.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do, it’s closer to the door…and the kids.
Who pays the bills? He earns the money and I pay them.
Who mows the lawn? He does…though we don’t have much of one.
Who cooks dinner? Jason is the better cook, and he used to do most of it, but one of my new years resolutions was to cook dinner most of the time. So far I’m doing pretty good.
Who is more stubborn? Hmm…we’re both pretty stubborn, but Jason is a little more. In his defense though, he is 99% more likely to say “I’m sorry” first.
Who kissed who first? He kissed me first
Who asked who out? Neither. We met on a blind date, and then he asked me out a second time.
Who proposed? Jason
Who is more sensitive? Definitely me
Who has more friends? Definitely Jason
Who has more siblings? We both have 4.
Who are you tagging? Jenilyn, Rose, Ashley, Jenni, Cecile and Jenna
My new niece, Grace Arlene Collette. Born January 20th, 2008. Isn't she gorgeous? She and Evie are going to be best buds. My sister Rose did so well with her delivery and she and Josh are going to make the best parents.
For all our out-of-town family and friends who wanted to see...here is the new Melody. I haven't had bangs since the third grade so I'm still getting used to styling it. It feels so good to have short hair again- hooray! Hopefully you all like it, and if you don't, just pretend that you do :)
Some of you already know how much he loves to cook. Dallin believes his main purpose in this life (besides getting a body, being baptized, etc.) is to become the next Emeril. He loves anything that has to do with kitchens, cooking, baking, mixing, stirring, measuring, or his favorite; mashing.
But here are some of his new hobbies:
Dallin has recently entered the world of pretend play. In Dallin's world, you wash your hands at least 10 times a day in the Little Tykes kitchen, always using soap and scrubbing for about 5 minutes. You also rub water in your hair, get your briefcase (a set of Elmo books), get in the car (Little Tykes coupe), lean through the window to give mom a kiss, and drive off to work. Oh, and of course he is now a doggy instead of a human being, and therefore he must eat regular meals and drink water out of doggy dishes on the kitchen floor. And wag his tail. 
Besides pretending he's a dog, Dallin has also spent a lot more time with his sister Evie. For the first eight weeks after she was born, he pretty much ignored her. Now he plays with her, gives her kisses, and even asks to hold her on occasion. A common phrase heard around our house is "Oh, Hi baby Eef!" (those V's are hard to say).
