Husband Tag

Okay so I haven't checked my blog for a while and I didn't even realize that Megan tagged me. I always avoid the tagging thing but since I have nothing else to blog about I'll do this...

How long have you been together?
We have been together 3 1/2 years. In July it will be 4 years. I think we've been together as long as Kurt and Marcia have been...if not, pretty close.
How long did you date?
Les and I dated 3 years before we go engaged and have only been married 5 months...ohhh
How old is he?
Les is old! He's freaking 30. We need to get the show on the road so that my kids won't have a grandpa dad!
Who Eats More?
Les definately eats more. I forget to eat most days...it happens when you chase around a 5 year-old all day plus carrying around a baby.
Who said "I Love You" first?
Ya know I'm not really sure, but I think it was Les. We were laying around one night and we started talking about the whole "relationship" thing and I don't remember why but I started crying (ya I'm a baby now) and he told me he loved me (which made me cry harder) but I didn't say it back so he had to ask me if I loved him and I just said "yeah". I have a hard time expressing my feelings. (ask my sisters)
Who is taller?
Oh Les is definatley taller....are you kidding me I'm like 5'3'' barely! Les isn't really tall. He's only 5'9" but that's enough for me. I can wear high heels and he's still taller.
Who is smarter?
I would have to go with I'm book smart (ya know I have been going to college for 5 years now with no degree) but Les know everything about the most random things. He likes to watch the science channel late at night where they talk about string theory or the universe and he just eats it up. Don't ever challenge him to a game of Trival Pursuit or Battle of the Sexes cuz if you're not on his team he will spank your butt!
Who does the laundry?
Well, when the laundry actually gets done I do it. Les doesn't have a clue how to do laundry. I don't know how he survived before I came around....and if you ever saw Les fold clothes you would die! He thinks folding clothes is folding it in half and then rolling it around his arms until it's done. I dont' know if that explains it well. I'd have to give you a demonstration.
Who does the dishes?
I made a deal with Les that if I cleaned the whole house he would only have to do the dishes and mop the floors. Les is anal about how the dishes should get done (like proper dish loading and proper rinsing) I just let him handle it and I just provide him with something to wash.
Who sleeps on the right side of the Bed?
We don't have "assigned" spots. Our thing is whoever has to wake up the earliest has to sleep by the alarm clock. The alarm clock is on the right side of the bed so I usually do since I get up at 6 and he's doesn't have to get up at 7:30 but it tends to vary.
Who pays the bills?
I do. Are you kidding me?! If I didn't pay the bills they wouldn't get paid. Les has no concept for paying things on time. He says he'll pay them but then two days after they are due I ask him if he's paid the bills and he's like "oh yeah...I'll do it right now." Needless to say I pay the bills now.
Who mows the lawn?
Les owns a landscaping business.....need I say more?
Who cooks dinner?
I would say its 50/50. I have school everynight until 9pm so basically we fend for ourselves. I try and make a nice dinner every sunday but we are usually at our family's so I get off the hook a lot. Sometimes Les tries to make my night less stressful so he has dinner ready when I get home from school which is sweet.
Who is more stubborn?
This is like the battle of the wills. We are both so stubborn it's ridiculous! If we are trying to decide which side of the family we should go to and if each of us want to go to our family's we usually end up going seperate because the other won't give in, but we are working on this and I must say we are getting better at it.
Who asked who out?
We didn't really ask each other out. We hung out a lot before we started dating so and it kind of just evolved to dating.
Who proposed?
Les proposed but not after a lot of prodding from me and my family. I knew he was going to ask me but I am very impatient and so he knew he wasn't going to be able to surprise me like he wanted to, but last year we were taking some christmas photos for a christmas card and we were posing in front of our tree and Les went to set the camera up but without me knowing it turned it to video (cuz my camera does both...ya pretty cool) and as I was staring at the camera getting my hair ready for the photo I saw out of the corner of my eye Les kneeling down so I started kneeling down thinking he wanted a shot with us on our knees but then I turned and he had the ring. I was pretty surprised but he complains it wasn't like he wanted.
Who is more sensitive?
Um...I'm not sure. I feel like I'm pretty sensitive these days but Les is the type of guy who you can hurt his feeling but you'll never know cuz he wont' tell you so yeah...I'm not sure.
Who has more friends?
Les definately has more friends. I think I still only talk to about three people I knew in high school (Chelsie, Megan, and....okay maybe two!). I wasn't really down with the whole high school (as most of you might remember) and I didn't make a lot of lifetime friends, but Les has like 5 different groups of friends that don't know each other at all so we are always hanging out with different people. He's just a likeable guy!
Who has more sibling?
Hello...I'm a Hutchison! 4 sisters and 1 crazy brother. Les only has 2 brothers.
Who are you tagging?
Marcia, Christy, Whitney, and Dancia

What Time Is It?

Okay, so my sister was giving me crap about not posting in a while but in my own defence I have been doing nothing but work and go to school so there isn't much to blog about. Plus, I don't have a diaper bag that I carry around so I couldn't do that fun blog either.

So last weekend I had a watch party with some of my girlfriends and it was a blast. These watches are my new favorite thing. They are called Bumbles. You can interchange the watch faces with bands. There are a ton of bands and watch faces to choose from. I totally want to have a party up in Ogden so if I had one...would you come? The watch faces are $15 and the bands are $26. That may sound pricey but if you think about it a good watch can cost over a $100 so I think its a good deal. Anyway, here are some pictures of the different watch faces and bands. They also have necklaces, bracelets, and earings but I haven't gotten into those...yet. Plus, they make totally cute watch faces and bands for little girls.

If you want to look at all their cute stuff they have a website its http://www.bumblesdesign.com/

Nine Months Old

So on Valentines Day Bronson turned 9 months old. We are all very excited about that. He's getting very big! He talks all the time, laughs out loud and has been rolling over (but neither of his parent's have seen it...that's one plus of being his nanny...I get to see all the good stuff) Everyone asks how old he is where ever we go so this is Julie's response. "He's nine months old but he should be about 5 months old but if you look at him he looks about a month old."
I took him to the doctor today and he weighed 11 lbs. 4 oz. He is not even on the scale when it comes to his growth percentile. Apparently, they have a special scale for very low weight premies that they go off of but Bronson doesn't even hit the scale. Which I find very hillarious! He doesn't even make it into the 1%.
About a week ago Bronson went to his 9 month check up at Primary's Children Hospital where he meet with all the neonatal specialist. Because he was born so early and only weighed a pound he gets to go to these special visits for free! He meet with a nutionist, cardiologist, optimologist, and a lady who checks his developmental skills (I don't know her official title). Well, everyone gave him raving reviews and couldn't believe how good he's doing. When Julie left the hosptial after he was born they told her to count on him coming back to the hospital one more time during the winter but so far so good. No hosptial visits for him.
The only thing the doctors said was that he'll probably need glasses when he starts to crawl or walk. When he was in the hospital he was on a lot of oxygen and it could have damaged his eyes. At first they thought he was going to be blind but thankfully he can see...they just aren't sure how well he can see far away. So his eyes are going to be his last big obsticle but we are all crossing our fingers! Either way I think he's adorable and having glasses is just going to make him cuter! I love little kids when they have glasses!!!

This is a picture of Bronson with his little bear. That bear was his incubator buddy in the hospital and at that time it was his same size. Look at him now...so big!

Here's a picture of him with his big bear. He likes to cuddle with this bear when I lay him down in his crib. It gives him something to hold onto and if I do it just right he sleeps for hours cuz he thinks he's hold onto me.

Here are some pictures of him in the bath. He loves his ducky bath. If you squeeze on the beak it say "quack quack" and Bronson gets a kick out of that.

I kept trying to pour water on him with this cup but he kept ripping it out of my hands. I guess it was way more fun to play with than his bath toys.
So I know you are all thinking I'm crazy but since I don't have a kid of my own I have temporarily adopted Bronson as my own and since I'm with him all day I don't think he minds either. He loves Auntie Marie!!

Weekend Away

Les and I haven't seen his parents since Christmas so we decided to go spend the weekend at their cabin/house in Kamas. We love it up here because it's like a cabin but has all the comforts of a home (like shower and flushing toliets). They live up here full time and we always love to come and visit and relax. I wish I had pictures of the inside because it's awesome but here's a picture of the house in all this snow.

One is on the way...

Okay I have some adorable pictures of Bronson to post...he is 9 months old. He's as old as Cooper Chelsie, but a quarter of the size. I've been super busy with school and tests so all my free time has been consumed by studying but on Tuesday when I go back to work I'll be sure to post.

The Wonder Years

Today I was looking through my computer... putting off doing my homework and I come upon a folder that has all of mine and Les's baby pictures so I was trying to figure out what our kids will look like by comparing our baby pictures. We both look kinda funny as newborns (doesn't everyone?) but we definately got cuter as we got older. But I thought these pictures were cute so I decided to post them so you could all see and let me know if you think our kids will be cute when we evenutally have some. I'm guessing our kids are going to be super blonde but hopefully with my complexion.

I love this picture. It cracks me up! Les hates this picture and is so embarrassed when I show people but it just makes me laugh. Below is one of Christy, Marcia and me to even out the playing field. I love looking at old pictures.

Tragic Spill

Today my mom went to get her haircut and slipped on the ice and broke her arm. She slipped on the way into Amie's house (our stylist) and landed on her right side. She was all by herself and had to hobble to the door to call my dad. Well, while she was waiting for my dad to come pick her up she insisted that Amie still give her a haircut. She couldn't move her right arm and she was in a ton of pain but she wanted that haircut! My dad took her to the InstaCare and by looking at her X-rays they told my mom and dad they needed to go to the ER to get it looked at. Once they got the hospital the specialist told my parents that my mom needed surgery right away! So my poor little mom had surgery on her arm and she is spending the night at the hospital.

She broke her ulna right by her elbow. Because the break was so close the elbow they had to put two screws in her arm.

Apparently my mom is a little firecracker. My parent's wonderful neighbor Dan Barrett came over to give my mom a blessing right before she went to the hospital and when they placed the oil on my mom's head she was all "I just got my hair washed!" Then when she asked the doctor how long the surgery was going to take, the doctor told her an hour and she was like "An hour?!" My dad said "You are going to be unconcious!" This was the first time my mom has ever been in the hospital besides having kids and she wasn't too pleased. She claimed she had way much to do and this was wasting her time.
