Husband tag...


What is his name? Jake Eldon
How long have you been married? We just celebrated our 5 year anniversary in December.
How long did you date? We knew eachother longer, but we started dating in February and were married in December. So, 11 months (we were engaged for 3).
How old is he? 29
How old are you? 25
Who eats more sweets? No doubt I do. I love sweets in any shape or form. Jake doesn't even really like sweets, he likes gummy candy and an occasional baked good. I am trying my hardest to corrupt him, or teach him the finer things of life.
Who said I love you first? Jake did, I would have been too big of a wuss to say it first. I didn't say it after he did, because I wanted to say it on my own terms, even though I did. We actually turned it into a joke as to when I would tell him I loved him. I later wrote a poem and told him I loved him.
Who is taller? Jake is not too hard, I'm 5'2" and Jake is 5'10"
Who can sing better? We both aren't great singers, but we can both carry a tune.
Who is smarter? Jake is. We had some same classes in college and he would hardly study for the test and I would study and read the book and he would do as well as I did. However, I am always right!
Who does the laundry? I do most of the laundry, but he is a great helper if there are clothes in the dryer when he gets home from work he will help fold them.
Who does the dishes? I do most of the time.
Who pays the bills? He does, and I'm glad. I think he likes to know exactly what's going on.
His guilty pleasure? Golf, and talk radio. He is a good golfer and loves to golf, I think he would golf every day in the summer if he could.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? He does. I did when we lived in Colorado, it seems like I always end up on the side where the bathroom is.?
Who mows the lawn? Jake, but I help with weeding and other yard work.
Besides you, who is his best friend? His parents and Paul Fairbanks, they grew up together in California and Paul now lives in Rexburg.
Who cooks dinner? I do. Jake is a good cook and likes to try experimenting sometimes. I should really get him to cook more. Jake loves tacos, can't beat taco Tuesday.
Who drives? Jake pretty much all the time. He is a good driver and is very good with directions. He likes to drive long distances and doesn't ever get tired.
Who is more stubborn? Jake is, and I tell him that's where Cooper gets it from, but don't get me wrong I can be stubborn too.
Who kissed who first? I am a wimp, Jake did of course. He asked me first if it would be okay, I agreed.
Who asked who out first? We had hung out before with all of his roomates, but he asked me out on a date first.
What was your first date? We went to Dairy Queen and talked, he was very interesting.
Who proposed? He did. I kind of felt it coming and might have even hinted that if he was going to he'd better do it so we could plan. He came to Logan and we went up to the temple. He had a book with "our story" in it. Then he had post it notes with nice things written on them, I lifted the note up and another compliment was underneath. The last post it note said hopefully more chapters to come and I lifted up the note and a hole was cut out and the ring was inside. He got on one knee and proposed. I cried and said, "of course".
Who has more siblings? He has 4 siblings 2 bros. and 2 sisters. (half) I have 2 bros. and 1 twinner.
Who wears the pants? It depends on the situation, but I think mostly Jake.
What is your favorite thing about him? Where do I start. I couldn't ask for a better husband or father. He is fun, and has a great sense of humor. He is a hard worker, and is so likeable, random people just love him. He is laid back and easy going, but very determined. He is sweet and sensitve, and very unselfish. He is the best, I wish I was more like him!
I tag Karen and Cindy

January Happenings

We have had a great year so far. We celebrated my Grandma Holman's 92nd birthday, my mom's birthday and Jakes 29th birthday this month. Cooper continues to crack us up with things he says. Yesterday he hurt his belly and said, "I hurt my baby brother." I guess we need to help him understand that Cooper doesn't have a baby brother in his tummy, just mommy :) He also went potty for the first time on the toilet this week, but truthfully I think it was an accident. (He hasn't gone since, despite all the bribing).

I thought this was funny. Cooper loves primary songs and in this video he is playing with Play Doh, and trying to sing at the same time.

Moments of our January

Happy Birthday Jake, we love you! Jake cheesing it and Cooper more interested about what's inside.
Some things Cooper likes to do: Push things with wheels (in this case he is giving the Geico gecko a ride), watching Toy Story in our guest bedroom with his Winnie the Pooh blanket, and "bowling" on the Wii.
