Carnival Fun

Saturday I took McKinlee to a little FREE carnival here in Cedar. She had so much fun, especially since it was "mommy and Kinlee special time!" She also had fun with some of her friends that were there. Daddy stayed home with Hunter because he has been sick and has an ear infection. But there was all sorts of fun things for her to do, she loved the bouncy toys (brought back memories of the Mommy Olympics and my road rash). She went to the top of the big slide, looked down the slide, and decided it was too big, and walked back down the stairs. It was pretty funny.I think the funnest thing was watching McKinlee try to hula hoop! She was pretty good at shaking her hips! But the hula hoop would fall right off her hips onto the ground. She even talked me into hula hooping with her.

She was so determined!

McKinlee and some of her friends.

I think my favorite part was the free stuff! Cotton candy, drinks, toothbrushes, and contact solution! I'm a sucker for a bargain, especially when it is free!

My Fire Fighter

Jordan had "fire school" this week for his job with the BLM. He needs to be certified to fight fires, so back to school he goes! I thought he was so cute in his uniform, so I made him let me take pictures of him. I tried to get him to smile normal in the pictures, but of course he had to be goofy. I'm so lucky to have such a great husband who works so hard to provide for our family! I'm proud of you hun!

About Us

1. Where did you meet? Well, we met my first year at Ricks College. I swore to myself and to others that I would not go up to Ricks College and get married (OOPS)! But thanks to our friends Chad and Keysha, they set us up on a date. Jordan thought I was way out of his league, and didn't think that I would go out with him. I was way excited to go out with him, I thought that he was cute, but didn't know him.

2. What was the first thought that went through your head when you met? I thought that he was really cute, and he talked with a little "TWANG" like a hick. He was hilarious, and made me laugh quite a bit. Once Jill and I discovered that he was JORDAN from CAREY Idaho, and I'm KERI from West JORDAN, I knew it was meant to be. (HE HE)

3. Do you remember what he was wearing? I'm pretty sure that he was wearing a baseball hat and a T-shirt, probably a gray one.

4. Where was the first time you kissed this person? We had been dating for about a month, and I still hadn't kissed him. He walked me to my apartment, said good night, and snuck in a kiss. It was really cute. I was a pretty naive little girl (19), and was so giddy afterwards.

5. How did he ask you out? We actually were set up on a date, and then he called me and asked me out.

6. Where did you go for your first date? We went to Wingers for dinner and then went to the "Colors" concert at the college. He probably thought I was crazy because I yelled so loud at the concert. Funny thing is that our second date we went Wingers again. I had already eaten dinner with my roommates (we did that every night, it drove Jordan crazy!), but I really wanted to go out with him. So I just ordered a Caesar salad at Wingers, and I have never lived that one down.

7. How long did you know this person before you became a couple? Well after our first kiss, we were pretty much inseparable. But Jordan will kill me for bringing this up, but at the end of the semester he broke up with me because he says he was tired of competing with my roommates for my attention (his words), and he didn't want to do the whole long distance thing. But a few days later after I bawled to my mom, we were back together.

8. Has this person ever proposed to you? September 29, 2001 I was in West Jordan, and I thought that Jordan was in Idaho elk hunting. My grandparents worked at the Conference Center, and my mom said we needed to go up there to visit them. When we got to Temple Square, and my mom told me to look for my grandparents, and she left me. Suddenly I heard an "ELK CALL" (yes, you heard me right, an elk call) but I turned around and didn't see anyone. The elk call continued, and then I saw Jordan walking toward me luring me in with the elk call. I was quite surprised to see him. We talked about how we wanted to get married in the Salt Lake Temple, and then he got down on his knee in front of all of our spectators, and proposed to me. Of course I said YES and turned around and saw my parents taking pictures of the whole thing. So perfect.

9. Do you and this person have kids together? Yes, McKinlee-3 and Hunter-7 months. Cute kids!

10. Have you ever broken the law together? There has to be a law against driving down the freeway while making out! (Give us a break we made the trip from Idaho to Utah many times while we were dating! HE HE!)

11. When was the first time you realized you liked this person? When he made me laugh so hard on our first date, I knew I wanted to spend more time with him.

12. Do you get along with this person ex's? Well being the naive girl that I was, I didn't realize how many ex's Jordan had! Good thing I don't know any of them, and I'm the lucky one who snatched him!

13. What's the most expensive thing this person has given you? I agree with Keysha and I'd have to say KIDS. They are expensive!

14. What is the one thing this person does that gets on your nerves? Jordan loves pester me! But sometimes it gets a little old. For example one time he had an empty wrapping paper roll, and kept hitting me with it. At first it was funny, but he kept on and on, and I ended up getting made. He LOVES to joke around!

15. What is the one thing you do that gets on his nerves? Worry about inconsequential things such as how "cute" the house looks, and "will you remarry if I die" (hey a girls gotta know!)

16. Where do you see each other in 15 years from now? Jordan says Idaho, I say somewhere closer to family. So probably somewhere in the middle ( Utah or Idaho). We are happy where we are now for now.

-K- this was really fun to reminisce about the past, so I tag all those who read this and who haven't done it already!

GO JAZZ!

When I was up at my parents house last week, they so kindly let my little brother and I use their tickets and go to one of the playoff games....too bad the game we went to they lost! But I had so much fun with Ty! He is such a great kid, and a good example to me. He is so cute with my kids, and they sure love Ty Ty! Thanks for such a fun night Ty, and thanks mom and dad for the tickets and watching my kids!

My brother is pretty cute huh!

I finally did it!

So due to the little "comb over" Hunter had, I finally broke down and cut his hair. My neighbor was so kind to cut it and then we took pictures of the whole thing. Hunter had a hard time holding his head still, he is too interested in what is going on around him. Here are the before pictures, I know he REALLY needed this haircut!

Here are the pictures during the haircut, I figured its his first real haircut, so we have to take lots of pictures!

And here are the results! He looks like a little boy, not a baby! But he's pretty stinkin cute!
