The Week At A Glance

Last Saturday we went to Grandma Spjute's for the annual Easter egg hunt and to celebrate Uncle Dave's birthday. It was good times as it usual. Sunday morning at 7:00a.m. Johnny and I sang in an Easter Program with the Institute at the Temple. It was wonderful, but freezing because it was outside!
Monday was my mom's birthday. Johnny and I made her this cake. It's not quite as fabulous as last year's four-layered, but I think it turned out cute.Mom got an ipod for her birthday! She was so excited. I think everyone in our family has one. Oops, except Sherstine. (hee,hee.)
Tuesday for date night we went to the park to try out Johnny's new kite that I got him for Easter. As you can tell, it is HUGE. We didn't have much luck getting her to fly. We'll try another day when there is more wind. So, we went for a bike ride on the Green Belt instead.
Wednesday we flew to Denver to visit Johnny's sister Margo(next to Johnny) and her family. It was a lot of fun. We got them addicted to Settlers of Catan, as we are known to do. While we were there we went to the Museum of Art & Science, went swimming at the Rec Center (which had an awesome slide), and went to the Denver Temple. We had a blast. Thanks Margo!
This is their cute dog Lucy who totally attached herself to me. Johnny would try to call her over and she'd just run right to me. It was pretty funny.
While we were there,we put together an entire 1,000 piece puzzle with their family. You'd think we just sat around and worked on it for 4 days, but we really didn't. We're just that good.
This morning before Margo took us to the airport, we did a little shopping. She took us to a cute little store called Lucy. I would compare it to Boise's See Jane Run store downtown. They have cute and comfy running clothes, and everyday stuff too.
This is the cute shirt I got there. I love it! And I love that my toes are in this picture! It was a long week, but we sure had fun! Johnny is back to school on Monday...

Date Night!

Johnny and I have had date night once a week since before we were engaged. We usually go out to dinner, do a picnic or make something at home to eat and then do some fun activity. We've gone swimming, to movies, bowling, on bike rides, and all sorts of other fun things. Our last couple of date nights have been super fun.A couple weeks ago for date night I found these awesome tie-dye kits from Fred Meyer and our shirts turned out great!
Happy Easter!!!
Last night for date night we decorated eggs.
Johnny found this cute little egg stamping kit.
These were Johnny's favorites that he did.
This was my favorite one that I did. you see, we decided that instead of hard boiling eggs (which we would never eat), we would just color them and be really careful so we could still use them. This was the LAST egg I did and right at the end I broke it. I'm such a klutz. What a fun date night though.

As of Late...I've Started Running

I was getting pumped up to go running in the rain, wearing Johnny's pants and coat.
Turns out it stopped raining after running for about 5 minutes. I'm still hard core.

Introducing...MY HUSBAND!

What's his name? John David Waite. I've only ever known him as Johnny. I also call him Mister.
How long have you been married? 2 years in June!
How long did you date? He'd been after me for a while, but when we finally got together we dated for 6 months before we got engaged
How old is he? He'll be 27 in October
Who eats more? He does. But you couldn't tell by looking at him!
Who said, "I love you," first? He did, about 2 months before I did. What can I say, he was hooked. :)
Who is taller? Johnny is 6'3" and I am 5'3". Which makes it nice because I can wear any kind of shoes I want! My mom always said I would marry someone tall.
Who sings better? We both love to sing, but he has an incredible voice. It was one of the things that made me fall in love with him.
Who is smarter? Johnny no doubt.
Who's temper is worse? Me, but my temper hardly ever flares at him. I just vent to him.
Who does the laundry? Both of us.
Who does the dishes? We both do. We don't have a dishwasher right now, so it takes a joint effort to keep the kitchen clean.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? He does. But sometimes I get in a weird mood and we'll switch. Luckily it doesn't bother him.
Who pays the bills? Me. But he does the taxes. (thanks mister!)
Who mows the lawn? We both do, but I like to surprise him and do it before he wakes up on Saturday or while he's still at class.
Who cooks dinner? Johnny. I get home from work later than him. He's a GREAT cook!
Who drives when you are together? Coin toss. Sometimes me, sometimes him.
Who is more stubborn? Both pretty stubborn.
Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Did we see the last answer? But I usually give in first.
Whose parents do you see the most? Mine. We usually only see his parents on Sundays. We go there after church and his mom feeds us till we burst!
Who has more friends? We pretty much have the same friends. Our best friends married each other and all our other friends we both knew before they were married and now we're friends with their spouses too. It's a blast.
Who has more siblings? Same, I have 3 sisters and 1 brother, he has 2 sisters and 2 brothers.
Who wears the pants in the family? We both wear pants, but I would much rather wear my pajamas all day.


I tag Val & Jessica.




This is a video taken about 3 years ago. If you know Johnny, you know that he is HILARIOUS! This video pretty much captures that. He makes me laugh everyday and I love him! (The last few lines he says are "who's that girl with the junk in the trunk? it's me! it's me!")

HOORAY FOR SLEEPOVERS!!!

We had a sleepover last Friday at our best friends house. This is Perry and Val and their pregnant bellies.

One of the MANY games we played that night, Parcheesi. I won!
This was a crazy Jenga-like game in reverse.
Our sleeping quarters.
Boys will be boys. Yup, those are hot wheels and that's an awesome race track.

Sledding Videos

So, my first two attempts down the hill ended up disastrous. Th first time I got thrown out of my tube right at the very end. the second time I flipped out of my tube and did a cartwheel on my head. Of coarse no one had a camera rolling, so here is a shot at one of my successful runs.

And this is an AWESOME train that we did. I believe it consisted of Evon, Becky, Chelsea,Emily,me,Jason,Uncle Dean, and Spencer (a friend that came with Craig and Cheri). Spenser's in the back and if you watch closely you'll see that he loses his tube and rides down bareback because Uncle Dean had a death grip on his legs. It was pretty hilarious! The hill is a lot steeper than it looks.
