What is his name (husband) Jody. Real name Joseph Richard. His mom had a good friend in high school named Jody. She decided to name him Joseph but call him Jody. Cindy I'm still not sure how you got Jody out of Joseph.
How long have you been together? We have been married for 5 1/2 years.
How long did you date? Okay this is kind of embarrassing. We only dated for two weeks before we got engaged. But in our defense we were in the same ward and new each other for 6 months before we got married. We were already friends just had to see if the chemistry was there.
How old is he? 28
Who eats more? He does. I can definitely give him a run for his money but he eats more. Unless of course he is on his cabbage soup diet....
Who said I love you first? Don't remember but I think he did.
Who is taller? He is. I should hope considering I am only 5'4".
Who sings better? Neither of us have great voices but can both get through church without people staring at us. Our kids seem to enjoy it when we sing. Especially Rylee.
Who is smarter? He would say me. I would say him. He does well in subjects like math and science and I do better in English and History. Hopefully our kids will be well rounded in all subjects.
Whose temper is worse? Sadly, me. He is pretty mellow.
Who does the laundry? Me.
Who does the dishes? Both of us.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I always do. Don't know why. No matter where we go I always end up there.
Who pays the bills? me.
Who mows the lawn? Jody and he loves having a lawn to mow now.
Who cooks dinner? Me. I love to cook. Mostly because I love to eat.
Who drives when you are together? We both do.
Who is more stubborn? Unfortunately me. I don't like this, you are beginning to learn of my many shortcomings!
Who is the first to admit when they're wrong? Jody. I have come a long way. He even admits that.
Whose parents do you see the most? Mine because we live closer to them.
Who kissed who first? Um. We kissed each other at the same time.
Who asked who out? He asked me out. We used to go to Gold's Gym together every night with my roommate Melissa. For some reason she didn't go one night and on the way home he asked me out. It was in Provo and I remember that it was freezing. He kept talking and I just wanted to get into my apartment. I later realized that he was trying to get up the nerve to ask me out.
Who proposed? Jody. At the Denver temple when we were visiting my sister.
Who is more sensitive? he is. Sometimes we joke that he is the girl in the relationship and I am the boy (sorry Jody).
Who has more friends? I do.
Who has more siblings? me, by one.
Who wears the pants in the family? both of us!

3 months
We are in Knoxville visiting Gram and Gramps. Kasey and Sienna are here with us. We had a mini photo shoot for Rylee last night and Kasey took a couple hundred pics of her that are all adorable. We are having a great time on our trip. Tonight we head back to Atlanta for Jody's ten year reunion and then we go back to California Sunday morning.
It's been a while since I've posted pics of Rylee and she is getting so big! I had to take a second and put a few on.

Georgia
Surprisingly the flight from San Francisco to Atlanta was wonderful and relaxing, even with three kids. Cohen slept for the first two hours and Ammon watched Surf's Up, which was conveniently playing on the airplane. The flight was two-thirds full so we were able to bring Rylee's car seat on the plane. She slept most of the flight and the rest of the time she smiled and cooed at me.
Sarah and her family will be so happy to hear that we got to see Gideon Medley today at Stake Conference! He looks as cute as ever! We are going to Jen's house on Thursday for dinner and will get to visit with him more then. To see a picture of us with him click here. You can also see how chunky Rylee is getting!
I have been so excited for one of my oldest friends Celeste and her husband Drew about a week ago they found out that they were chosen to adopt a little boy who was born last Thursday in Louisiana. They are there picking him up right now and I can't wait to see more pictures of him. I'm not sure if they have chosen a name yet but last I heard it was going to be Ty or Boston. Both super cute!
Tomorrow Cindy is treating me to a mani/pedicure and then we are going boating on Jody's brothers boat. The boys are loving playing with their cousins and when Rylee is awake (not very often) she is getting very spoiled. Especially by her Aunt Jen. The other night Ammon was asking me to tell him all about his cousins. I was telling him about Megan,who is Jen's daughter in sixth grade (I think) and he said, "Is she the one who speaks English?" Um, okay that was random!

A problem?
After church on Sunday Ammon said, "Mom I have a problem."
ME: (thinking what possibly could be his problem) say, "What is your problem?"
Ammon: "Well at church today I was being really good and quiet and the teacher let me pass out the rice krispy treats and Max (his friend) got to pass out the napkins."
ME: Realizing he was done talking I said, "So what was the problem Ammon?"
Ammon: "That was my problem."
Okay sounds like a really big problem!
He's also been really concerned with death lately. Jody was talking about losing his hair the other day and Ammon got really scared and said, "I don't want you to die dad." We asked him why he thought daddy would die and he said because your losing your hair and getting old. We assured him he didn't need to worry about that anytime soon. My mom is here this week and he's already told her twice that she's a really good Grandma. When she asked him why he said, "you just are." What a sweetheart.

happenings
Nothing too exciting but thought a post was long overdue even without photos.
1. Ammon started preschool yesterday. When my mom asked what he learned he said "I learned the sand box, snack, painting and where the bathroom is." Let's hope he learns something a little more academic this year.
2. We spent the weekend at the lake and enjoyed being in the sun with friends and family. I especially enjoyed being able to swim and wakeboard this time.
3. Cohen is quite the copycat. The other day he dropped something and said, "oh geez, crap!"
4. I sent my laptop to my brother in law Matt today. Let's hope he can get it up and running again. If anyone can it will be Matt and he comes at such a great price, free!
5. I took my first quilting class last night. I was really nervous, considering I have never really used a sewing machine. Thank goodness the teacher was very nice and patient. I used all Amy Butler fabric and think it's going to be beautiful.
6. Rylee is still my dream baby. I seriously can't say enough about her. She just hangs out all the time. Tonight she sat in her car seat and watched me make dinner without making a peep. I assumed she was asleep. She is spoiling me.
7. Jody let me out by myself tonight for a few hours. It felt weird walking through the mall without a stroller but I'm not complaining. I went shopping for a dress to where to his high school reunion. I didn't find one.
8. I finished Eclipse. I loved it and love this series. I can't wait for number four.
9. My mom is coming next week and I can't wait to have someone to hang out with! We head to Georgia next Friday to see Jody's family. It should interesting flying with three kids.
10. That's about it. I got my old computer out and need to hook the internet up to it and then I will be back in the blogging world. It's been weird not having the internet all day long. I didn't realize how much time I wasted on it.
