happy saturday!! i didn't think i'd have time. but i do. sooooooooooooooo. last night we had a super great date!! we ate out at fuddruckers, which is my new craving of places to eat at. then we went mini-golfing, i lost by THREE!! pfft. and then we went to culver's for ice cream. i had a banana split. yum-o!! then we picked up the girls and dustin...i'm so used to saying just girls. lol. and we came home. and went to bed. ;0)



today it's a lounging around day. and a lazy day. and i saw this fun husband/couple thingy on ms martha's site. so i thought i'd copy it. AND i will say this too. THANKS to all of you who have blessed me with awards over the past few months. i truly am REALLY bad at remembering them and putting them up and passing them out. i'm SORRY! it really blesses me when YOU think I DESERVE an award. so i will just say thank you thank you thank you. so so much. :0) thanks. here is the husband/couple thingy. :0)

7. WHO IS TALLER? he is. he's like six foot. i'm five seven-ish.

8. WHO SINGS BETTER? we're probably both equal.

9.WHO IS SMARTER? we're both smart in different things. that's how/why we balance each other out so nicely.

10. WHOSE TEMPER IS WORSE? i let mine show a lot more. when shaun's temper shows, that means he's really mad and probably has a good reason to be. i've truthfully never seen his temper really flare. he's gotten mad, but not temper flame flaring mad. and i'm okay with that.

11. WHO DOES THE LAUNDRY? i do most of it. he actually washes his work clothes a lot. he's always told me i don't have to do his work clothes because of the stinky farm/diesel/oil/fill in any stinky smelly smell awww. isn't he sweet.

14.WHO PAYS THE BILLS? i write them paying with shaun's hard earned money.

15. WHO IS BETTER WITH THE COMPUTER? for sure me. he just checks the crop prices. he doesn't have any desire to be better with the computer either.

16.WHO MOWS THE LAWN? him. remember yesterday i said i'm not even sure how to start it.

17.WHO COOKS DINNER? we both do. i'm actually doing it a bit more since i actually LIKE doing it and trying out wildtree products. ((which by the way we deep fried our french fries in grapeseed oil today... yummy. and less greasey. and well...yummy. salted with the rancer steak rub. also...yummy.))

18. WHO DRIVES WHEN YOU'RE TOGETHER? shaun. i don't like driving that much. but will when i have to.

19. WHO PAYS WHEN YOU GO OUT? well either way it's 'his' money. but sometimes i use my check card and sometimes he uses his. but it's all the same.

20. WHO IS MOST STUBBORN? me. hands down.

24. WHO ASKED WHO OUT? he did. first prom. and then 'as a couple'. annnnnnnnd

25. WHO PROPOSED? then to tie the knot.

26. WHO IS MORE SENSITIVE? for sure me. but i also will say he is the most sensitive guy i know. and it's one of my most favorite traits about him. real men cry. and real men love jesus and aren't afraid to show it. :0) both are traits he carries well..

27. WHO HAS MORE FRIENDS? i'd say me-but really...who cares.

28. WHO HAS MORE SIBLINGS? shaun has two sisters and a brother. i just have a sister. and a dog brother.

29. WHO WEARS THE PANTS IN THE FAMILY? him. and that's how it should be. :0)

30. HOW DID YOU MEET? hmmmm. he saw me at my job. asked around about me. then he danced with his cousin, who was my friend, who said that he wanted to dance with me, who then came over and told me, and we danced. it took TWO months. he asked me to prom. and ten years later i don't have any regrets dancing with a guy i'd never met, much less seen!! :0)



hmmm. so i guess i'm a sensitive stubborn girl. lol. and pretty forward with kisses. :0) i just love filling those things out. :0) and reading other people's. so if you decide to do it too, let me know. so i can come be all nosey and read it. k? k.



alright. i've also been asked about my pictures of the kiddos on the left side bar. aren't they adorable?!?! yes. they are. of course i think so because i'm their mommy. you are under no obligation to think so...so here is what i did to their pictures in photoshop elements. first i 'lassoed' them and deleted the background, coloring it in black. THEN i used the 'brush stroke' feautre of sumi-e. i have no idea WHAT it is. i just liked how they turned out. if you need more detailed instructions let me know. :0)


okay. so i'm done. it's taken me forever and a day to get this typed up. i'm off to join my hubby and amelya outside...before it rains. which i hope it does....rain for the peas would be perfecto. have a great rest of your weekend. we may be going to see my sister's keeper tomorrow. i'm sure i'll cry.
