Well Minn tagged me over a month a go so I figure I should probably get with it.
How I met my hubby Mike
1. Where did you meet? He served his mission in Salt Lake and my dad was ward mission leader.
2. What was the first thought that went through your head when you met?I don't remember probably something along the lines of "oh, we have a new missionary.
3.Do you remember what he was wearing? Not exactly but it is safe to say it was a suit.
4. When was the first time you kissed this person? It was our first date. I kissed him because I wanted to make sure he knew I was interested and would call me. (he was going back to Canada the next day.)
5. Where did you go for your first date? We went to see Pirates of the Carribean and then hung out at his friend Michelle's. It was great.
6.How long did you know this person before you became a couple? Like a year and a half or so??
7. How did he ask you out? We were hanging out at my house and I was doing my best to hint to him that I was interested and he asked me if I had seen the movie yet. I said no and then he asked if I wanted to go.
8. Has this person ever proposed to you? Yes. We went to conference together and afterwards we went on a drive through the canyons and carved on a tree was "Krista, Will you marry me?" Very sweet.
10. Have you ever broken the law with this person? Not that I can think of!
11. When was the first time you realized you liked this person? Saddly I have to admit that it was when he was on his mission. I just knew he was special.

I have more to write but my buddy needs his mom.

Well it has been a long time and lots has happened.  I am currently in West Valley hangin' with the fam.  Today is my big sis Lisa's Birthday.  Happy Birthday Lisa.  The other day we were carving pumpkins okay it was over a week ago but at any rate one of the pumpkins was tall and skinny.  It reminded me of one year when we were young and we all got to do our own pumpkin a couple nights before halloween my pumpkin got smashed.  I was devastated.  Despite her love for her pumpkin Lisa gave me hers so that I had one. It was tall and skinny and everytime I see one Like that.  I think of Lisa and how loving she always is.  She was always willing to pick up the pieces and sacrifice for someone else.  She still is that way.  Happy Birthday!

Quarter to Foshen

This is Mikey a few months ago when he was first riding his Bike.

I should have posted about this a long time ago, but we all know I am a terrible blogger. But here it is now. His favorit thing to do was/is ride to Grandma's. He had all sorts of funny commentary. "And He's off" "Mikey takes the lead" "He's the fastest guy racing ever." but my favorite was "Quarter to Foshen" This is a made up word that means change the direction you are pedaling to either stop or start going again. He would also pretend the nut and screw that help on the handles was a screen that would tell him stuff such as "quarter to foshen.

Florida

Well we have been back from Florida for over a week now, so I figure it is about time that I post again. Florida was a lot of fun. Mike was so relaxed and fun. Mikey was as cute as ever. I have so many funny quotes from when we were on the vaca.
My top four are:
#1: Shortly after crossing the border into Montana Mikey informed us that he had to go pee. Mike told him he would need to hold it and we would find a bathroom as quickly as possible. Mikey then replied "That's okay I like to pee in the grass." I laughed so hard. Yep that's my son.
#2: We were headed to St. Pete's beach (amazing by the way) and Mikey said "Mom, do you have any bacon." Of course I didn't and I told him this "well, I really want some." Driving down the road and a bacon craving hits. More and More I am convinced that he really is deep down ALL BOY!
#3: Later that day as we were headed home he had to go #2 and told us we were on the freeway and it was packed. (it just happened to be game 1 of the Tampa Bay Rays playoffs) Mike told Mikey he would try to hurry but that he needed to hold it. A few minutes later from the backseat we her "Oh man oh man oh man." But he held it.
#4: When we were at Magic Kingdom Mikey got a hot dog for dinner. He is a very slow eater sometimes and Mike was wanting to hurry so he was helping him eat his hot dog. Mike dipped his hot dog in ketchup and Mikey said "That's correct." It was so funny. Mikey LOVES ketchup.

Hopefully these were as funny to you the reader as they were to me. We had so much fun. We went to Sea World and their new waterpark Aquatica. The Beach several times. We went to Disney World's Magic Kingdom and Epcot. We did some shopping. We went to Kennedy Space Center and did some swimming at the condo. We had a wonderful time and I survived Vacation pregnant. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be either. The hardest part is the onion thing.
(I thought we had pictures already on the computer but we don't, but they will eventually make it.)

been a long time

Well I will start with a tag my sister tagged me with.
7 Random things about me
1. We had a pet wolf spider growing up. My dad would catch crickets remove their legs and we would watchie wolfie eat.
2. I love foreign films. I think came from my time in Taiwan.
3. I have a perfectly round scar on the top of my bottom from when I was little and had chicken pox.
4. I am TERRIFIED of needles. I hate them. I cry whenever I am alone and have to get them. For some reason I can act tough when Mikey is around. I do not want him to be afraid also.
5. I collect how to say "I Love You" in foreign languages. I used to be able to say it from memory in over fifty but haven't practiced and can probably only say ten or so.
6. When I wear strappy sandals it looks like I only have four toes on each foot because my baby toe is much shorter then the rest. When I worled at Discover there was a rumor going around that I only had four toes on each foot.
7. I will try eating just about anything once. I even ate a potato bug on a dare once.

Being Good...for Minn

Warning: May contain sensitive medical information
Well Marintha is always getting on me for my lack of blogging. I am fully aware that it has become a rare thing for me but in my defense I have not been well. I have had quite a rough time with this pregnancy. Marintha keeps telling me that I should be glad it is not half-vampire (see Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer). However if it were I would already have had the baby. But yes I am glad that itis not half-vampire, I am also glad that I still have a few months to prepare for the new additions arrival. I have had a hard time keeping anything down which is not only frustrating and gross, but tiring and stressful. But I am now fourteen weeks and had 8 successful meals in a row a new record. I feel pretty good. The one day I was feeling sick and I told Mikey I needed to sit for a minute to let my tummy settle so that I didn't vomit. He said why don't you just go throw up and then play with me. I told him that I didn't like throwing up. He asked me Why I didn't like it anymore. I guess he thought that because I did it so often I must enjoy it. Poor thing he has been so good and he has been so patient with me.
