Husband Tag

I think this is a great tag for me to do, because I have basically just talked about Baylor and myself on here so far. So thanks for the husband tag Jamie.

What is your husband's name? Brody or Broden
How long have you been together? Married about 5 ½ years and dated about 9 months prior to that.
Who eats more? Brody, especially when it comes to pizza and junk food. I'm sure I could eat more celery or carrots then him through.
Who said I love you first? I don't know, you be the judge. Our first I love you conversation went something like this...I first said, “I think I may be falling in love with you.” then Brody said, “I know that I'm falling in love with you.”
Who is taller? Brody by about 6 inches
Who has more speeding tickets? Brody, I haven't even been pulled over in years.
Who is smarter? Brody, but he would say me because for some reason he's convinced himself that I'm brilliant...I can't totally disagree.
Who is more sensitive? Brody will shed a tear or two when the Denver Bronco's aren't having a good season but for everything else me.
Who does the laundry? Me but Brody helps fold sometimes.
Who does the dishes? Brody used to and I think he will once school isn't so crazy.
Who pays the bills? Always me
Who mows the lawn? Neither, but I'm sure Brody will
Who cooks dinner? Always me
Who drives when you are together? Unfortunately Brody, and it makes me crazy because I think he's a horrible driver.

Who is more stubborn? We both have our share of stubbornness
Who is the first to admit when they're wrong? Neither of us. We both think we are right all the time.
Whose parents do you see more often? Brody's, but we actually don't see either very often lately because we live far away.
Who has more siblings? Me because my family is freakishly huge
Who wears the pants in the family? I'm working on it, but Brody still has part of his leg in.
Who eats more sweets? Brody by far. It's out of control.
How did you meet? Working at a Lone Star Steakhouse together.
Who asked who out first? Brody asked me out the 1st day he met me
Who kissed who first? I kissed Brody 1st, what can I say, I know what I want.
His best feature? His abs and buns of steal...oh wait I was thinking about someone else. I do think his bottom is pretty cute.
His best personality trait? He so funny and witty. I don't know how he comes up with everything he says.
His pet name? It's not really a pet name but I call him Broseph (which is a combo of his 1st and middle name) or when he's acting like a little girl then it's Brosephine.
Where do I see us in 15 years? I would love to be back in Texas, have a good steady practice, have a lovely house, and have a couple perfectly behaved children.
What is my favorite thing about him? What can I say I love my husband. There's not just one favorite thing about him. He's awesome and we have a great time together. I' m so glad you're my hubby Brody.

Another Week

Well, it's been a week so I figured I would blog to share my wonderful week experiences. This week was fine and pretty ordinary except for a few things...

1st I realized my boss is apparently a 4-year old. I nanny during the day. It is usually just a 3 month old I watch, but recently I have been watching her sassy 4-year old sister too. She's a cute kid, but has a very strong and bossy personality. Yesterday I was getting out some toys and crafts for us to do and she says, "Mrs. Stacey, you better pick up your mess because my mom is having a friend over tonight, and if you don't then I will....." From there I said, " You know, you really don't need to threaten me. I am an adult and I'm pretty sure I know how to pick up after myself." After that she gave me this mean look and I of course later did as I was told and picked up just like my boss said to.

2nd I realized car naps do not always get the same results as crib naps. Baylor fell asleep in the car on my way home from work. Brody had just finished finals, so we were going out that night. Usually, Baylor is in the best mood ever after a nap, so I figured I would let him finish taking his nap in the car and we would go straight out to eat, so when he woke up at the restaurant he would be happy and rested. Boy was I wrong. He was the worst ever. I know that is hard to top, but he topped it. He was absolutely freaking out. We placed our order just to tell the server to make it "to go".

3rd I realized Lost is an awesome show. So my friend Sarah Nelson convinced Brody and I to start watching Lost. I wasn't too sure about trusting her judgement because she has told me before some of her favorite shows are the Disney shows that come on Saturday morning. So, I'm thinking if Lost is anything like Hanna Montana, then I may be little disappointed. Well, I was not disappointed. I think Lost is awesome. We just started the 2nd season, and we're excited to see what is next. It is very suspenseful and a very cool show.

Snow Days Bring Back Memories of The Michelin Man

What a crazy snowy day. We've had a ton of snow in the last 24 hours. I went to take the trash out but didn't make it past my front door. I almost got blown away and would have sunk in the deep snow, never to be found again. I just left it on my porch, hoping it will just disappear.

Since I've been in today because of the snow I have been looking through some old pictures. I came across one that I love. This was when Baylor was about 5 months old. He was not a petite baby boy by any means. It was around this age when he became known to many as the michelin man. He is still a very big boy, but he has lost the nick name due to him growing up and thinning out a little bit. I love my little michelin man.

I've Been Tagged

I was tagged by my sister in law Jamie

1. Link to the person that tagged you
2. Post the rules on your blog

4. Tag at least 3 people at the end of your post and link to their blog
5. Let each person know they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog
6. Let the fun begin

#1 I sucked my thumb until I was 8. I know that's forever. I tried to convenience everyone it was okay because it taste like spaghetti. After a while I only sucked my thumb at night. After trying everything my mom made me sleep with socks on my hands. I soon discovered that nearly all my socks had holes in them, so I would just pick the ones with holes and stick my thumb through the holes and continue my horrible habit.

#2 Growing up I lived in 2 different places. The first was Midland, Texas, which is where I was born and then we moved to Houston when I was 8. While living in Midland we had a pretty small house and a not so small family. There were 13 people in a 4 bedroom house. I shared a room with 5 of my sisters. That's right 6 girls in one room. I don't know of anyone that can top that, but if so let me know.

#3 One of my frantic childhood memories is an encounter with an armadillo. It all happened one summer day while bike riding with my friend to Sonic (which Brody refers to as “Slow”nic), which is a another story, because in Texas Sonic is awesome and fast, but apparently everywhere else in the country they are slow and not so great. Back to my story...my friend and I were almost there when we came across an armadillo. I swear the armadillo looked at us with its beady little red eyes and started chasing us away. We turned and rode away as fast as we could not looking back, fearing that if we did the armadillo would claw our eyes out.

#4 Apparently in the mid-late 80's there was a new fabulous haircut called the wedge. I was about 6-7 years old when I decided with two other sisters that we had to get this haircut. My two other sisters quickly grew out their hair, but I kept this boy like hair cut for about 4 years. I looked like a little boy for most of my childhood. I have a brother-in-law that refers to me as Stan instead of Stacey when he sees pictures of me with this haircut.

#5 I have only one somewhat adventurous experience in my life that I can think of. I know it's kind of lame but here it is. While in high school some friends convinced me to climb the 2 story building that the school's swimming pool was in. When we got to the top we were to hang from an open air vent and drop into the swimming pool. I was fearless and I did it. You can all applaud me and carry me on your shoulders next time you see me.

#6 Randomly, I know the make and model of cars really well. You can point out a car in a parking lot and cover the name and make and I could tell you what it was and possibly the year it was made. I don't know how I know these things but I do. I'm really good just try to test me.

I now tag, Angie, Carissa, Sarah, and Vanessa
