Spring Fever!!

We are so tired of being cooped up in the house as I'm sure many of you are. This winter seems like it's never going to end! Last week I took Payton to the Toddler Open Gym at the Idaho Falls Training Center for a change of pace. She had a blast! You pay 5 dollars and your child gets to play on all of the equipment in the gym. Payton loved the "bean", jumping on the tramp and swinging into the pit. Eastern Idaho does not have much to offer in the area of kids activities, but I recommend this to anyone who has a toddler. It is for ages 1-6 and is on Friday mornings from 10-12.

There was one nice day last week that was warm enough for a bike ride around the neighborhood. I can't wait for more days like that. Spring cannot come fast enough!!

Ain't No Thing Like a Chicken Wing!

Greg and I were Easter shopping at Walmart and we came across the most disgusting thing. On a shelf next to the Easter baskets was a greasy fried chicken bone. Who in the world takes their fried chicken into WalMart, finishes it while shopping and decides, "I'll just leave the bone on this shelf." Some people have so much nerve. Is it really that hard to find a garbage can? Only at Walmart!

Puppy Love

Payton loves my sister's dog Tage. He is the cutest thing! She learned how to pick him up and loves to carry him under her arm. She is always concerned when she hears him whining while he is locked out on the porch. She'll say, "I think we need to let Tage out so he stops squeaking!"

Tag.....I'm It!!

I was Husband Tagged! Here's a look at how our lives together began!




What is his name? Gregory Kent Price, although there were some others considered--Weston and Digby. Digby from Rigby??


How long have you been married? 4 years


How long did you date? We dated for 3 years before his mission, I wrote him for two years, and then we dated 6 months before we got married. We started dating in October of 98 so this fall we'll have been together 10 years!!! Crazy!


How old is he? 26


Who eats more sweets? Probably me lately. I have been craving Reese's Blizzards from DQ and E.L Fudge cookies. He says he does though. We both have a big sweet tooth. We eat way too many treats!!


Who said I love you first? He did, but I replied with I love you too. It was a few months after we started dating. We knew from very early on that we were meant for eachother.


Who is taller? He is.


Who can sing better? Neither one of us is going to win a Grammy, but probably me. I enjoy singing even though I'm not that great. Although he does a pretty good rendition of "American Woman" and a Mormon Tabernacle worthy performance of "Joseph the Seer".


Who is smarter? I got better grades in school but Greg was academic student of the month his Senior year of High School, which was an accomlishment never achieved by any of his sisters or by me. He's pretty proud of that. I have a college degree and Greg doesn't. College was not his thing. We both catch on to things quickly and have pretty good street smarts.


Who does the laundry? I do, but Greg washes his work clothes. Cow poop stinks!!!


Who pays the bills? I pay them, but Greg keeps track of all our finances in a little black book (paychecks, how much tithing we owe and interest we make).


Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Me


Who mows the lawn? Both of us have done it in the past, but probably him more than me.


Who cooks dinner? Me- but he does better at scrambled eggs and if we are having steak he always cooks it.


Who drives? Greg- it just comes with being a man, doesn't it?


Who is more stubborn? Most people would say Greg, because I am a pushover with most other people, but when it comes to him--I'm just as stubborn. Neither one of us likes to admit that we're wrong or give in.

Who kissed who first? He kissed me and claims I played hard to get, but I'm pretty sure our first kiss was within the first couple weeks we had been dating. Too long for a boy to wait I guess. It happened in Marshall's car on the way home from a football game.


Who asked who out first? The first time we ever hung out his friends set it up for me to go with them to Denny's after a football game. I was on the dance team at the time and had performed that night. My hair was in an unflattering bun and I was wearing an oversized Pepsi sweatshirt. Given Greg's love for Pepsi, maybe that won him over. We talked in the High School parking lot for hours after that and we've been together ever since.


Who proposed? He did. It didn't take us long to decide that we were going to get married. He got home from his mission and about two weeks later we were planning a date. We got engaged on September 29th, 2003. I didn't think it was going to happen when it did because we had not found my ring yet. I gave Greg specific instructions on what I wanted and that I wanted to pick it out. Turns out he went against my wishes and with some help from his sister picked out a ring that I absolutely loved!!


Who has more siblings? He does. There are 7 kids in his family, 3 in mine.



Who wears the pants? We probably each have one leg in. We both play a pretty equal role in our relationship.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Our Valentine's Day was pretty uneventful. Greg and I went to dinner and Payton celebrated by attending Music Makers, eating a delicious sugar cookie compliments of Aunt Natalie and picking out a new Diego helicopter at Toys R Us. Hope everyone had a great day!!!

Snow Day!!!

Last weekend we took Payton sledding behind the four wheeler at Greg's parents. She was terrified of it at first only wanting Greg to pull her with his hands, but she toughened up and finally got on with Greg while I pulled them. Her cousins came later and had a ball. It was nice to have a day that was warm enough and when I say warm it was only about 30 degrees, but compared to 0 it was nice!

It's A Girl!!!

Today I had my 20 week ultrasound. We took Payton with us and she was more interested with the goop on my belly than what was happening on the screen. We were already pretty sure it was a girl because of my 17 week ultrasound but today confirmed it. It was so fun to see her kick her little legs and wave her hand. She even yawned a couple of times. It's crazy to think that a little human can grow and develop inside of your belly. It made me realize what a miracle having a baby is. What an amazing blessing!

Happy and healthy family, friends, vacations, new experiences and opportunities, an empty laundry hamper, going out to dinner, warm sunny weather, a good song, movie or show, and Greg getting off early! We have been so blessed in our lives. We don't have much not to smile about.

X-rays: I broke my pinky in 6th grade playing basketball in my grandmas driveway. I also thought I had appendicitis once when I was in college. My roommate and I decided I had all the symptoms (We were both nursing students at the time). We went to the hospital and it turned out to be nothing. Blame it on nursing student paranoia!
Your Favorite Food: I love food and I don't think I could pick just one favorite. I love steak and potatos, a good salad (one with alot of cheese, eggs, croutons and ranch dressing), senora chicken, pizza and many desserts. My favorite restaurant-The Salt Grass- unfortunately only found in Texas.
Zodiac: Taurus which was also my first car!

Albertson's Bakery

This week Natalie invited us to go on a tour of the Albertson's bakery with a group of moms from her ward. The kids got to watch a cake be decorated, look in the big oven, see how bread is made, and taste the delicious cake frosting. Mom's did too! They also received a yummy chocolate chip cookie at the end. Thanks Nat for the invite!

Cheese!!
