digital scrapbook kit

So I downloaded that free kit from purple tulip design's website  (from the Todd's blog) just to see what all the digital scrap-booking fus was all about.  I usually just make these pages myself with photoshop but the kit was handy and saved me some creative time.

Husband tag

1.  What is his name?
Larry "Craig" Atkinson

2.  Who eats more?
I do unfortunately.  It really irritates me that he always leaves something on his plate.  Doesn't matter how big his portion is...he just wont finish that last bite.  grrr

3.  Who said "I love you" first?
I honestly can't remember....crap!!!! thats probably something I should have remembered

4.  Who is taller?
Craig is

5.  Who is smarter?
Im smarter in more practical ways :) but he's the one with the philosophy degree and nearly law school degree so I would have to say him by a long shot...

6.  Who is more sensitive?
I would say me...I cry over everything

7.  Who does the laundry?
I do, but he will do a load or two a year. but along with Annette Larsen, I too, for the second summer in a row, have had the pleasure of my mother-in-law do most of it.  But unlike Annette I am not embarrassed...... :) :) :)  That was pretty much the only thing I was looking forward too when having to move in with the in-laws again.

8.  Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?
Craig does but every few months for some random reason we will switch.

9.  Who pays the bills?
Me

Me

11.  Who is more stubborn?
Craig

12.  Who is the first to admit that they are wrong?
Me

13.  Who has more siblings?
Well I have 13!!!! so I would say it would be hard to have me beat.  He has 3 (two big brothers and 1 little sister)...so even before adding 6(3 boys and 3 girls) to our already 8(5 boys, 3 girls), I had him beat.

14.  Who wears the pants in the family?
Im not really that decisive of a person so naturally its pretty much whoever makes any decision first.  I guess it would be craig.

Craig does

17.  Guilty Pleasures?
leaving the kids with the in laws and go see a movie

18.  How did you meet?
Lets see..my first semester of college, his first after his mission.  We were in the same ward, our apartments right across the street from each other.  His roommates and my roommates were all best friends because they were our home teachers.  Craig was my rebound guy and I was his rebound girl and we ended up becoming one another best friends and eventually falling in love.

19.  Who proposed?
Craig but I knew it was coming

20.  What is his best features?
I love how he falls in love with my hobbies and interests and makes them his own.  (example:  I love photography so he researches cameras and lighting and helps me set up my lights.)

Happy kaydence




 

Couldn't decide if I liked it better in bw or color so just added both but looking at them side by side I freaked at having 2 of her.  She is a hand full.  Now I realize why her twin was lost within the first few weeks.

4th of july weekend



We took a trip up to Moscow Idaho for a few days to fill up some lose ends, check our apartment and get our mail/packages.  On our way back down to Emmett we stopped by cascade on the 4th to meet up with all of craig's extended family.  His grandmothers cabin is a hot spot for vacation and this weekend they all gathered to build a new outhouse/shower/bathroom.  They weather was perfect...not to hot and a great breeze for anyone doing manual labor outside on the 4th...but for anyone wanting to ski on the water the same great breeze we were experiencing wasn't so wonderful I hear...sorry folks we won!!!!  Anyway the kids had a blast with all of their little cousins...I guess second cousins.  They got really dirty and had so much fun doing it.  It was a pretty great weekend.
