Pool Time w/ Bean (Lily)

I love the above picture! It's like "Excccuuuuse me! What do you think you are doing!" Bean has got an attitude that is for sure...but it's a sassy cute one!

This week at work I received passes to get into an early preview of the animated film Kung Fu Panda. So I got enough passes for my extended family and we made a day out of it. Everyone was able to come except for Dad, Johnny, and Broc...somebody has to work and make the money!

The movie was this morning at Gateway and it was a GREAT movie. I would definitely go see it again and purchase it for our home collection. After the movie we had lunch and did some shopping. Then it was off to the Draper Pool for some swimming and sun! It was perfect pool weather and the nieces did not want to get out when it was time to leave! I mostly enjoyed...as always...just lounging in the sun!

So Don't Duck...

So Broc has been helping out with his cousin's baseball team occasionally this season. This is a team of 6th grade boys so boys who are old enough to start taking the game seriously. At one of the practices Broc was in charge of calling fouls and strikes. So one of the kids gets up to bat and as the ball comes at him he ducked. He full on ducked. So Broc called a strike and the kid complained that it was not a strike it because it was over his head. Broc looked at him and said, "Don't duck and it won't be over your head!" ...the kid started to cry! But seriously...when you are 12 years old you should know better than to duck when the ball is coming at you and to know that if you do duck...it's going to be strike. Yes, that's right Broc made a 12 year old cry. Go Broc! As you can tell our kids will be raised with tough love. No wimps in our family. You face challenges head on...you don't duck and run from them!

Mother's Day

The morning of Mother's Day we spent down in Centerville at our niece's baby blessing. Ally was being blessed and the only bad part of the day was that the church sound system was not working...including the microphones. Sad day. After the blessing we had lunch at Aaron and Aileen's and played some games. Then it was off to spend the afternoon with the Ross side of the family at G&G Ross's for a BBQ. Broc played some basketball with his dad and cousins and it was probably the most exercise he has seen in a while. LOL It was fun to see Dan, Kim and Brady all who flew in for mother's day and for Brad's 40th B-day celebration.

After the BBQ it was home for a quite night and getting ready for the next week to start. As far as a mother's day gift, as we were getting ready to leave in the morning for Centerville, I had to run back into the house to grab some stuff and when I came out Broc had placed my gift on the my seat. It was gift card that I am definitely excited to use! He said he was talking to other employees at the bank about whether or not he should get a mother's day gift because we are not technically parents yet...the child is not physically here and out yet. But, one of the other employees told him he should never tell me that or I would slap him. So he figured he should probably get a gift. :)

About Us

What is his name? Broc Danial Parker

How long have you been married? 1 1/2 years

How long did you date? We dated for 4 months and were engaged for 2....All in all we got married just two days short of six months from our first date! Broc says he knew he wanted to marry me after only a month of dating and when he heard me say that I did NOT want a winter wedding he thought "Well I guess this had better move quick then, because we aren't waiting until spring!" So October it was! The best month ever! One of our favorite moments is when we told everyone in his family and they asked "October of what year???".

How old is he? 23

Who eats more sweets? It depends. He would tell you me...but I see him sneaking my Dove chocolate when I am not looking! :)

Who said I love you first? He did. We were watching TV at his apartment in Provo and talking about different stuff and all of the sudden after a quite lull, I heard "I love you!".

Who is taller? He is. Thank heavens I can wear heels!!!

Who can sing better? Broc is definitely the better singer....considering I don't sing!!!

Who is smarter? I'd say we are on the same level....that's one of the reasons we married each other.

Who does the laundry? I do. Although if Broc is desperate he will wash what he needs...but that means putting it in the washer then the dryer and leaving whatever was in the dryer before on top. I am particular though and so I think it scares him from doing it...

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do.

Who mows the lawn? Broc...I've never mown a lawn in my life and nor do I plan on ever doing it.

Who cooks dinner? On the rare occasion we actually cook it's usually pretty equal.

Who drives? Broc because after driving to and from Salt Lake every day from Sandy...I am done driving!!!

Who is more stubborn? It's a tie!!! We are both stubborn...another reason why we married each other. Broc is more patient about it and more quiet but it's good because we both can't get away with anything, we have to discuss things and bring each other to happy medium.

Who kissed who first? He kissed me first.

Who asked who out first? I asked Broc out first. I was in dyer need of a date (long story) and my mom suggested him since he was next door outside helping my brothers to get a car out of our driveway. So in sweat pants, a snow hat, big boots on, and no make-up I asked him out. He said he couldn't go...then he left on his mission and I was comforted by the fact that I would never ever see him again. Two years later I was living in Provo and by a random set of events met some guys who knew him on his mission and who were in a german class with him. They told him they had run into me and he asked them to pass his phone number along to me...which they didn't because they were trying to set me up with another of their friends. So on Conference weekend when Broc was next door with his Grandparents he came over and asked my Dad if I was home and my dad told him I wasn't because I was moving all my stuff back from Provo to Sandy, so Broc said he would catch me another time. I am not a patient person so I actually sent Broc an email...thank heavens for stalker net...and we set up a date for the weekend and have been together ever since.

Who proposed? He did.

Who has more siblings? I do. I have 4 and his has 3.

Who wears the pants? Broc...at least that's what I let him think! LOL

We're Pregnant!!! (Pictures)

Pic's from when we found out we were pregnant in February...Broc's face is pretty classic!!!
