Longest Week Ever!












This picture explains it all. I usually would love having my husband home but....he has the flu. Who doesn't have the flu is what I should say? Not only does he have the flu, Adrie also has the flu and an ear infection. So we have been to the doctor a couple of times. Adrie usually does well at the doctor but lets just say that she did not stop screaming the entire time we were there! After Adrie was diagnosed with the flu the doctor recommends putting me on medication because it is quite inevitable that I too will get the flu. But I am pregnant and cannot take the one medication there is for the flu. So basically if I get it I am out of Luck. So I am cleaning up vomit, disinfecting the house and washing my hands like crazy. So cross your fingers!!! Having two family members throwing up at the same time while having morning sickness hasn't been the funnest. Mike says he is going to work tomorrow even though he is still sick. I think it might be because he can't stand to watch "The Tigger Movie" another time. Adrie has only wanted to watch this over and over. hehehe....I think he got a hint of what it is like to be stir crazy in this long winter. I have to admit I can almost recite the movie word for word. I cannot wait for the week to be over and the weather to be warm.

Baby # 2 on the Way!

For those of you that don't know.....I am expecting baby #2! Due on September 24th! It was somewhat of a surprise, like the first but we are excited and nervous. We are excited to see if we will get a boy or a girl. Nervous that we won't have anywhere to put the baby since we are living in our spec home until it sells and then who knows what will happen....

Who is smarter? When it comes to farming and fixing things him, but technology just isn't on his side. He is getting better.

Who does the laundry? I do unless he gets annoyed of the piles of dirty laundry then he does. He helps out a lot. He will even help me put the laundry away.

Who does the dishes? I do most of the time, but he will help me out once in a while.

Who pays the bills? Me.

His guilty pleasure? Farming, Mt. Dew, Hunting and The Outdoor Channel.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Me...it is closest to the bathroom. You know what this is like if have ever been pregnant.

Who mows the lawn? I do, He is too busy farming in the summer to get to it.

Besides you, who is his best friend? His Dad.

Who cooks dinner? Hmmm ...this is a hard one. I do, but I love to eat out and he hates it. So if I don't feel like cooking, he does. He loves to BBQ, so he always cooks the meat.

Who drives? Him, I think it's funny if the girl is driving.

Who is more stubborn? Me...fore sure.

Who kissed who first? He kissed me but he will say otherwise. It was after the Sandy Downs Rodeo. He said I wanted it just as bad but I was definately taken back by it. Since he thought I took so long to kiss him because we didn't kiss for like two weeks. ha. Mike said it had never taken him that long for a first kiss.

Who asked who out first? He asked me to watch a movie at his house after a co-ed softball game. I was thinking there was going to be a lot of people just hanging out. But I found out later his intentions. I walked into a room of all couples. I was uncomfortable. I never thought my brothers friend would put the moves on me!

What was your first date? We went four wheeling in the mountains. He was such a sweatheart. He even picked a flower and put it in my hair. I had never seen that side of him before.

Who proposed? He did. On New Years Eve we went snowmobiling with a lot of people. Mike took off in the opposite direction as everyone else. I thought he was going to do it then, but we headed back to the group. As we went down the trail there was a row of signs that said, "Tara, Will you marry Me?" Then he got off the sled and got down on one knee with a dozen roses and proposed. I thought it was very original.

Who has more siblings? I do ....5 sisters, 3 brothers. He has 2 sisters, 4 brothers.

Who wears the pants? We both wear them. He doesn't let me get away with as much now compared to when we were first married:)

What is your favorite thing about him? My favorite thing is how good he is with kids. Not just our own but with everyone elses. He definately takes care of me and is a great daddy to Adrie. He also has a really good work ethic. Sometimes he works too much, but I would rather have it that way than the other.

Kilgore House

Mike, Adrie and I went to Kilgore with Quinn and Michelle, and Bethany and Marshall Ricks. We spent two nights at a house that Michelle's family owns. The boys went snowmobiling while the girls took care of the kids. The men took the kids for a ride in the sled but it was so cold and there was a lot of snow blowing in there faces. We were lucky to make it home with all the fresh snow and low visibility, we couldn't see the road whatsoever.
