Madie and Naomee helping dad make dinner!

Naomee making her own pizza!

Funny thing though, Cadie was the one who wanted pizza for dinner. So Shawn decided we should make them, and so we headed for the store. Cadie was so upset that she didn't get a Papa Murphy's pizza like she wanted, that she didn't want to help make homemade pizza.
Shawn bought her a special frozen pizza that she ended up not eating. Naomee on the other had loved her english muffin pizza that she wanted more. Unfortunately we didn't have any more.

Lily's Purple Plastic Purse!


These are the kids that were in our group. They were so good and funny! I had a blast and the play was great.

Madie and Mommy before we set off for the 1st grade field trip. We went to see a play at the Keller Auditorium in Portland. We saw "Lily's purple plastic purse". It was based on a book by the Author Henry Henky I believe. He has a series of books based on these characters.


Just some pics I took!

Tag your Husband is it!



1.What is his name?
Shawn Michael ~ His family has a nice tradition that all the sons take the fathers first name to be their middle name. SO you can guess that his fathers name is Michael.

2. How long have you been together? ~ This June will be 12 years of being together and this Sept will be 12 of being married. IF you do the math that is a quick engagement.

3. How long did you date? ~ Well that depends, from the 1st date to the time we were engaged then it was 3 weeks. (With in a week we knew were getting married and when, we just didn't have the rings for 2 more weeks.) From the time we met and got married it was just over 3 months. So still really quick, and not a lot of time.

4. How old is he?~ He will be 33 in April. But the way he plays sports and keeps moving you would think he is 13.

5. Who eats more?~ As for a sit down meal, his portion sizes are bigger. But he eats better than me, more of a well balanced diet I should say.

6. Who said I love you first?~ I don't know who said it first, but I usually say it first now. But he is really good about telling me all the time, not just when we say goodnight.

7. Who is taller?~ Well at 5'9" to my 5' 0" I would say I am taller. I meant to say he is!!!!

8. Who is smarter?~ Well if that isn't a loaded question I don't know what is? I would say that he is by far smarter than me. But then again it really does matter on the subject. I am not good at science, math or politics.

9. Who does the laundry?~ I do of course!!! But in all fairness, if needs be he does help.

10. Who does the dishes?~ I do, but I have a lot of help from the girls and Shawn at times, so it is pretty fair.

11. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?~ That would be Shawn. We have never switched sides.

12. Who pays the bills?~ I do.

13. Who mows the lawn?~ That is a toss up. If he is home and not busy he does. If I want it done NOW, I do. Sometimes I like to mow just for fun.

14. Who cooks dinner?~ Mostly I do, but he can cook really well, so he cooks almost as much as I do.

15. Who drives when you are together?~ Shawn drives about 90% of the time when we are together. Especially on long trips.

16.Who is more stubborn?~ That depends on how you define stubborn. If you mean who gets what they want all the time, he does. But if you are talking about bullheaded and things like that, I am.

17. Who kissed who first?~ I think it was pretty mutual.

18. Who asked who out first?~ Well since it was a blind date, he called and set it up. His brother had given him my phone number.

19. Who proposed?~ Shawn did the actual proposing, but it was a mutual desicion to get married.

20. Who has more siblings?~ Shawn has 6 siblings and I have one. He is the oldest of 7. I am the oldest of 2.

21. Who wears the pants in the family?~ Most likely it would be me, but he is very quiet about his authority.

I now tag: Lauri and Jenn
