Husband Tag

A friend tagged me for this. I thought it was a really good idea since we don't usually talk too much about our hubbies. So here it goes.........

Here's my cute hubby!

Full name: Jayson J. Miller
How long we've been married: 9 1/2 years, but we've been together for almost 14 years. Wow, I'm getting old!
How long did we date: 4 1/2 years
Who eats the sweets: Jayson, for sure! He's a candy freak. I can't take him grocery shopping, we would spend all our money on the candy isle.
Who said I love you first: I did. He was too chicken.
Who is taller: Jayson, by a few inches
Who sings better: Jayson. I couldn't carry a tune to save my life!
Who is smarter: I don't know. That's a hard one. I'm mostly book smart, but he's better at the common sense stuff.
Who does the laundry: I do, because Jayson hangs the girls nightgowns on hangers.
Who pays the bills: We both earn the money, (he earns most of it) but I pay the bills.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed: Jayson
Who mows the lawn: Mostly Jayson, he doesn't like how I do it.
Who cooks dinner: Nobody! Do scrambled eggs and grilled cheese sandwiches count as dinner?
Who drives: Me, if we want to stay alive! Jayson falls asleep driving! He'll say he doesn't, but he SO does.
Who admits they are wrong: We both do, probably him more than me though.
Who asked who out first: He asked me out.
Who wears the pants: It's pretty even. I'd say more me than him. He's so easygoing.
What does he do that surprises you: He's reading Twilight right now cause i asked him to, and he likes it! That surprises me. He's not afraid to try new things.
My favorite feature on him: It's hard to pick just one. I like his eyes.
Favorite quality he has: He's very humble. He doesn't like to be the center of attention or talk about himself. I find that very attractive!
Does he have a nickname for you: Babe or Honey are the usual.
His favorite food: He always wants pizza!
His favorite sport: Hunting. Ugh!
Our favorite thing to do as a couple: Umm... That's kinda private! Just kiddin. We like to hang out as a family. Get cozy in the Lovesac and watch funny movies, we play online poker together alot. That's fun.
Does he have any hidden talents: He's quite the artist, and he's Mr. Handyman. He can fix, rig, or build just about anything. For my birthday 3 years ago he built me a bed and 2 matching night stands. He built the computer desk that I'm sitting at right now, and lots of little things like, flower boxes, picutre frames, the shutters on our house. He's nice to have around!
What do you admire most about him: Just that he is a genuinley, all around good guy. It would be too hard to pick just one thing. I couldn't ask for a better husband or dad for our kids.
His favorite color: I'm guessing green? Brown? Grey? I actually have no idea. Sorry Hon!
How did he propose: On Christmas Eve at his grandmas house in front of his whole family. I sat on Santas lap (which was Jaysons grandpa) and he gave me a present. I didn't think anything of it cause everyone got something from Santa. But when I unwrapped it, it was my ring. He didn't actually get down on one knee and ask me to marry him until later that night when we were alone. Like I said... He hates to be the center of attention.
I love ya J!

I tag everyone who reads this who hasn't been husband tagged yet! Even you Carly, he'll be your husband soon enough.

Here's a good one....



Looking for something good to read? Nothing compares to Twilight, but this one comes close in my opinion (in a different way though). Stephenie Meyer recommended it on her website, so I thought I'd try it. I couldn't put it down. It's not a love story, but there is a little romance in it. It's like a bad car accident you can't look away from. I hated what I was seeing in the story but I couldn't stop reading. Different, but good. If you read it, let me know if you liked it.

Pumpkins

We went and picked out pumpkins yesterday, and we sat the kids on this hay bale for a photo op. Hadlie is so funny. She either cheeses really big or poses. She decided to make a fist under her chin to pose, without being told. It was all her idea. She's actually very photogenic when she's not trying too hard, but she always has to be doing something nerdy. I love ya Hads!

I love this mischevious looking smile!

Gracie took alot of pride in choosing her own pumpkin. I think we looked at almost everyone in the field. But she had more fun going through the falling apart hay bale maze or whatever it was supposed to be.

Bellas truck with Charlie
The Cafeteria

Forks High School (not a great pic, but it's the only one i got) They were giving tours on this day because it was Stephenie Meyer day in Forks (Sept. 13th, Bella's Birthday)
On our last night in Forks, went to La Push where the real Quiliuete tribe did a tribal wolf dance for us, the we went down to first beach for a bonfire and storytelling.

Stupid shiny volvo!

Brandie and the poor local boy that everyone was lining up to take pictures with because they all thought he was a Jacob look a like.
(He was even wearing a leather jacket and holding his motorcycle helmet.)

We got up at 5 am to hike down to the beach during low tide and see the tidepools.There were starfish and anemones everywhere.

First Beach


On our way into La Push
Everywhere we drove, this is what it looked like.
Even though we were still in town, it felt like we were up the canyon!

The pier in Port Angeles

The famous mushroom ravioli.......... MMMmmm
