Happy Birthday Summer!
Today is my sister Summer's birthday, so I just wanted to wish her a happy birthday! Summer, I hope you have a great day! You are the best sister! Many of you may know Summer, and I'm sure every one of you that knows her loves her. Who could not love her? She is an amazing person. I admire her so much. She is so contagiously fun and happy. She has always had this amazing, vivacious personality. When I was younger I was so shy and I admit I went through some pretty nerdy stages (haha). Summer was 5 yrs older than me, and definitely not at a nerdy stage. I used to look at her in awe and I used to wish over and over again that I could be just like her. I thought she was beautiful inside and out. She has always been upbeat and lively, and she really is beautiful. All these years later I still think she is beautiful, and I love to spend time with her. She is one of my favorite people in the world, so you can see why I wanted to write a special happy birthday to her. Have a great one Summer!

Another Tag
Well, this last month I was tagged 3 times. I answered one a couple weeks ago, and thought I'd do another one today.
I was tagged by my cousin Monica. :)
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TOGETHER? It's pretty amazing to me, but next October it will be 10 yrs ago that I met Billy. How is that possible!?! We have been married for 5 years.
HOW LONG DID YOU DATE? We dated a little before Billy's mission, but there wasn't much of a dating period when he came home. We went from dating to engaged VERY quickly, and then got married 3 months later.
WHO SAID " I LOVE YOU" FIRST? I hinted at it, but he is the one that actually said it first. It was very sweet.
WHO EATS MORE? Uh oh... Usually it's Billy, but he's trying to be better about portions lately, and I AM eating for 2, so sometimes it's me.
WHO HAS MORE SPEEDING TICKETS? I don't want to talk about it... lol
WHO IS SMARTER? Depends on the subject. Billy likes science and math more and I like reading and english- we are pretty opposite there. As far as photography goes, he likes all the detailed technical stuff, but that stuff just confuses me. I like compostion probably the best- so we make a good team.
WHO IS MORE SENSITIVE? I definetly cry easier! Then again I am a girl... Billy actually is more of a worrier than I am though- so that's kinda interesting.
WHO DOES THE LAUNDRY? I do for the most part, but Billy has had his times (like when I was really sick). And sometimes he helps me hang up clothes. I don't mind doing it though- it's kind of part of my job description. :)
WHO DOES THE DISHES? I do most of the time, but Billy does help out pretty regular!
WHO IS MORE ROMANTIC? I'd have to say Billy. I have a hard time stopping my brain from thinking of all the million things I have to do. He helps me sometimes to learn to just relax and enjoy each other's company rather than doing or thinking a bunch of things.
WHO PAYS THE BILLS? Lately, it's mostly me. But we try to do them together, and even if I do them myself we always talk about the situation after.
WHO MOWS THE LAWN? Billy. After we get the letter in the mail from the HOA saying we need to mow it. Haha.
WHO COOKS DINNER? We alternate. Sometimes I don't mind cooking (I go through my stages) other times it's pretty much my least favorite chore. But Billy is a really good cook. I love it when he cooks, and now we have a BBQ so it's been nice b/c Billy's been cooking more on the grill.
WHO IS MESSIER? We are actually both pretty neat and organized people. When we first got married I would say I was more of the organized one, but Billy came around. :)
WHO DRIVES WHEN YOU ARE TOGETHER? Billy.
WHO IS MORE STUBBORN? I don't know. I think we are pretty easy going.
WHO IS FUNNIER? Billy. He is very funny sometimes.
WHO ASKED WHO OUT FIRST? Billy asked me out, and I was so excited too! That was a fun time.
WHO PROPOSED? Billy. We had already talked about getting married, and we knew we were going to get married. It's kinda funny, but the day he actually proposed I was shopping for my wedding dress. He kidnapped me and took me to South Mountain where we had a view of the city. We ate dinner by candlelight, watched the sunset, and then he proposed. Afterward he had a CD player play our song and we danced to it. It was very romantic!
I am going to tag Patti, Kristal and Kristy.

The Waddle
Parenting.com sent this to me. I thought it was funny:
Hannah is showered at work, begins waddling in spite of herself, feels like a cast member of Alien, and considers her plan for childbirth...
"I used to think that pregnant women who waddled were over-exaggerating - like they'd watched too many TV shows of pregnant women waddling around and leaning back like they're doing the limbo just to sit down. Well, I have to admit that I have officially started waddling, and I can't do a thing about it."

New Pics
It's so nice being married to a photographer! I wanted to get new pictures of the kids to hang on the wall now that they are 1 & 3. So last Friday we went out, took the pictures (got some great ones), came home, looked at them, and we already got them printed and hung up on the wall. All in a weekend! Billy did a great job; I love how they turned! Here they are:

The Name Game
Ok, I have a bit of an update on a name for our baby girl. We're still undecided! But I think we are getting closer on choosing a name.
OK, first of all 3 people told me after the poll was closed that they would've voted for Elise. So that means there would be 9 votes for Elise, 4 for Tessa and 3 for Madison. So I still think Elise is my favorite and it seems to be the winner! BUT last night we thought of a new name which just might be a new favorite.
What do you all think of Lexcie? Billy thought of it and after we decided on the spelling I began to really like it. Last night I couldn't sleep b/c I had all these names running through my head- but mostly Lexcie.
So these are the names on our list now:
Elise Makenna
Tessa Elise
Lexcie Janay
Alayna Shae
Madisyn Elise
So anyway, I know I've asked you all before, but what do you think now? It's so hard to pick out a name, but it's kinda fun too!
