Spouse Tag
I've seen this on a couple blogs and finally have the time to do it. I encourage all to do it, it's fun to her about each other!
What is his name? Jedediah Thor Burton (He once got out of a ticket because of his middle name. The policeman said, 'anyone with a middle name like Thor can't be a bad guy')
How long have you been married? 5 years, 6 months, 27 days and 15 hours-but who's counting?
How long did you date? 7 weeks (but were engaged for 4 months)
How old his he? 31
Who eats more? It's close, I eat a couple meals during the day and Jed eats less meals but more at the time.
Who said I love you first? He did (I wasn't too sure at the time, but the next day I did)
Who is taller? Jed
Who can sing better? Again Jed
Who is smarter? Most definitely Jed, He's a wealth of useless information!
Who does the laundry? I do, when I actually get to it!
Who does the dishes? Both, but mostly me though
Who pays the bills? I do, I'm in charge of the finances. Is that a good idea?
Who sleeps on the right side? Looking at the bed: Jed, the door is closer to the left and I can get to the kids quicker (and hear them better), so I'm on the left.
Who mows the lawn? Right now, neither one of us. The owners pay someone to do it. In our old place, Jed did because it was a driving one and I didn't know how to work it (at least that's what I told him!) No really, it's true.
Who cooks dinner? Which ever restaurant we go to! (Our weakness) We both cook. Jed will say he does most of the time but we're about even.
Who drives? I do mostly, because we're usually in the vehicle I drive (has the car seats). Unless I make him.
Who is more stubborn? Definitely Jed ( I give in because I don't care to argue)
Who kissed who first? Jed did, but I wanted it!
Who asked who out first? Jed did (However the first time we met and spent time together was by chance at a dance)
Who proposed? Which proposal? The first time was at club Omni when we both said we went to the Temple and received the answer to marry. The second time he did, after he asked my Dad for permission (he didn't even get down on his knee!) The third time when he surprised me with the ring, this time was better, with guitar, singing and the knee!
Who has more friends? We both have about the same, however Jed makes friends the easiest.
Who is more sensitive? Definitely me. I'm getting better at not getting offended, though.
Who has more siblings? Jed by 1.
Who wears the pants? Jed says, "No man in his right mind would answer anything else but "you dear" So me!

I'm Singing in the 'Cold' Rain
Before we left for church, it was a warm, sunny day. I told Reid he could play outside after church. However, as the 3 hours went by it decided to rain, and not stop. When we got home, Reid wanted to play outside. Because earlier I told him he could, I let him (knowing it wouldn't last too long). It was pretty chilly, but he's all boy and the cold didn't bother him much!
Is it Summertime Yet?!
What happens when you put together a small-long table, a couch-with lots of cushions, a stool for the little ones and a small bike? WINTER OLYMPICS INDOORS!
I'd say we're ready for the snow to stop and for the sun to come out and stay so we can play outside!

Healthy Recipes
Jed and I are trying to eat healthier and we are looking for some good, healthy recipes. We are willing to try new things, so don't hold back! We are mostly looking for smoothie recipes (ones to mix vegetables and fruit), yummy salads and clear liquid soups. However, if you have others that do not fall under those categories, we'd still like to get them. Thank you in advance!
cute craft
I found this cute craft on my friend jessica's site and she found it on Martha Stewart's website. It looks easy enough...only 2 steps!
*Instructions
Give an orphaned pillowcase a new home -- over your shoulder.
1. Trim 1/4 inch off the closed end, and cut the case in half on the diagonal. Turn the fabric of each of the four diagonal cut edges over by 1/4 inch, twice; pin, and hem.
2. Place one pillowcase half inside the other, lining up bottom edges; pin, and sew at front where fabrics overlap. Repeat on other side. Turn fabric inside out, and hem case's cut bottom. Trim with pinking shears. Turn case right side out, tie top ends into a knot, and you have a carefree summer bag.

Playing in Mesquite
The weather was wonderful and the kids didn't want to go back inside. After a long winter of being stuck indoors, it was a great change. Too bad Reid, William and I had to return to the cold place and be stuck inside again.

Are we there yet?!
About an hour into our trip, Jace got a bloody nose! Then in Vegas (about 15 minutes away) we had to stop to go to the bathroom (EVERYONE). We made it just past Barstow (thank you to whomever invented the DVD player in the car!) Potty break and switched drivers...eventually we made it to Fresno pretty close to on time. The trip back had more potty stops, we were greatful when everyone fell asleep at the same time for a couple hours! One tip on driving long distance...bring along suckers. It may get sticky but you can always clean it up and it keeps them quiet for a LOOONG time!
To Grandma's house we go!
Just last weekend, my sister, Celeste and I (and our 5 kids) all traveled down to California to visit our family and help redo Candi's room. My boys and I left Monday evening to "avoid the storms." Once we got to Beaver the storms were over (luckily it got dark once the storms were over also). We had a great time there and enjoyed every minute of it. The most eventful times would definitely be the car rides, with all 5 kids crammed in the car, never a dull moment. Except on the way home when they ALL fell asleep at the same time for 2 hours!! That was wonderful, the longest stretch we had without stopping! It's easy to say we all were happy to be home and back in our own beds.
