Tagged

So I usually hate being "tagged" or those dumb e-mails that go around where you have to tell all about yourself but I actually liked this one because it's not just about me. So I guess thanks to Carrie for "tagging" me.

My husband: Jed Lynn Baadsgaard

How long have you been together? Well, that's kind of a trick question.....we've been married 3 years but have been together on and off for 6 years!

How old is he? 33.....yip, one year younger than me!

Who eats more? He does. He loves to have a midnight meal--usually my leftovers from some restaurant.

Who said "I love you" first? I hate to say it but I did and it was terrible timing---I think we broke up the same night! But then again let's be honest---don't most of my stories revolve around some break-up we had.

Who is taller? He is--unless I have on my 3 inch heels and then I THINK I'm as tall as him but I'm really not.

Who sings better? Me! Not that I'm a good singer but I love to sing all the time and it pretty much drives him crazy but what's even worse is when my sisters or mom are in town and we are all singing dumb songs and it about drives him to drink!

Who is smarter? I like to think I'm smarter at some things but I'm usually not.

Whose temper is worse? Jed usually but if you push me too far----watch out!

Who does the laundry? That would be me and the dry-cleaner!

Who does the dishes? I do usually but since I've been prego I've been able to convince Jed to do the dishes more regularly but he doesn't "do" pots and pans because I won't let him put them in the dishwasher----I know, I know, a little habit I got from my mother.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Well, I did until just recently. We switched sides because Jed felt bad that I had to walk all the way around the bed like 10 times a night to go to the bathroom!

Who pays the bills? Jed does unless he's out of town at the end of the month and then he makes me do it which I hate because it takes forever and I'm worried I'm going to mess something up---that makes it sound like we have a ton of bills--I guess I should explain that "paying the bills" includes his business and rental bills.

Who mows the lawn? That would be Jed because he worries that I'll wreck the lawnmower---he hides the key from me!

Who cooks dinner? ME!

Who drives? Jed--I hate to drive!

Who is more stubborn? Jed for the most part but sometimes I can wear him down!

Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Jed always. But I'm getting better---kind of.

Whose parents do you see the most? Jed's for sure....lucky for me I have good in-laws and I really like them!

Who kissed who first? Jed kissed me....another funny story for another time.

Who asked who out? He took me to dinner to say thanks for a favor I did for him although at the time he would have never admitted it was a date.

Who propsed? He did....and I just sat and stared at him because I was in such shock....so he had to ask me again....and I still just stared but eventually said "sure."

Who is more sensitive? I am when it comes to him but everything else..he is.

Who has more friends? Me! I've been very BLESSED my entire life to have great friends!

Who has more siblings? He does! He has 4 sisters and 3 brothers!

Who wears the pants in the family? I often say that Jed wears the pants in the family.....and I tell him exactly which ones to put on!!

It's a BOY!!!!

So we had an ultra-sound today and found our we're having a boy!!!---Jed is still grinning ear to ear! Needless to say he was just a LITTLE bit excited when she said "oh yeah---it's for sure a boy!" I promptly headed to baby gap to buy his first little outfit only to be a little disappointed that the girl section was way bigger and had way cuter stuff (although I did still force myself to buy a few things!) When I got home there was a fun gift bag on my porch from Amy and Jen with the CUTEST stuff inside which is the picture above! It gave me new hope that there is cute boy stuff out there. The best part is that I want to do a cowboy/farm themed nursery and Amy and Jen didn't even know that but they bought the perfect stuff! I attempted to put one of the ultra-sound pictures on here but I couldn't get it to work and let's be honest.....ultra-sound pictures just look like a blob of stuff or some freaky alien thing so I'll spare you all for now.

SOLD!!!!!

I am happy to report that we FINALLY sold our house in Saratoga Springs!!!! I thought the day would never come! Even though I thought it was a great house and I loved it..... I did not want to move all the way out there to live in it so I'm so glad it sold when it did. I also thought I would post this picture to show off Jed's awesome landscape architecture! Seriously, isn't he great! Now the big debate between Jed and I begins on how to re-invest the money from this house. I'm voting a new house (not necessarily meaning brand new---just a different house) for us to live in either in Lindon or North Orem but of course he has his eye out for another rental property so stayed tuned as to who will win this battle!

Keith Urban

Everyone knows I've been a concert junkee for many years now but in the past year I've decided to limit my concerts to my few favorite (ok, let's be honest---Jed has put me on a "concert budget"). So there's a few people that if they come to town I must see. The list includes: Kenney Chesney, Keith Urban, Rascall Flatts, Janet Jackson and Tim McGraw (alone-not with Faith) and I would seriously consider Aerosmith because they put on such a good show! So Tuesday night I went to the Keith Urban concert with the regulars (Jeanette, Missy, and Amy). Let's just say my man did not disappoint!!!! We had 7th row seats (thanks to Jeanette of course) and I have to admit something else here---I'm a big of a concert snob---if I don't have excellent seats then I won't go! It's funny because as I was sitting there in the Delta Center I was thinking about what the very first concert I went to was. I need to ask Karmen because I can't remember if it was Garth Brooks in Seattle in 1991 or Depeche Mode in SLC in 1991??? Anyway, Keith played for over two hours and by the end he was all sweaty and worn out----and so was I from just looking at him! I'm telling you---I love my husband and all but oh my Keith Urban is one FINE looking man and when he starts jamming on his guitar I go weak in the knees!!!

Relaxing Weekend!

I just returned from dropping Jed off at the airport and as I was driving home I was thinking about what a fun and relaxing weekend we just had. I have to admit I was quite sad dropping Jed off because he'll be gone for 10 days this time! I've been so spoiled because he hasnt' had to travel for the past month and I was just getting used to having his around and now he has to leave again! I know, I know, poor me. So back to the weekend. Friday we just hung out spending "quality time" together....meaning I agreed to do whatever Jed wanted so we took a tractor back to his Uncle, checked the water at the farm, and then he took me to dinner at Bajios. It was actually pretty fun. Saturday we went to breakfast with Cody and Missy and then helped Cody move to his new house and get all settled in. I swear Cody and Jed can "piddle" (as I like to call it) the day away! They don't consider their "projects" piddling in the least and often get a little bothered when I call it that. I swear Cody and Jed couldn't be more like my dad and Uncle Carl if they tried!! SCARY!!!! Sunday after church we headed out to the farm for Sunday dinner. There was a little rain storm and as we were all sitting out on the back deck the awesome rainbow above appeared! Jed tried to convince the nieces and nephews that there REALLY is a pot of Gold at the end.....whatever!





















Sunday night we went and picked up my nieces Hayli and Chelsi and my nephew Austin. They are my older brother Jason's kids.........yes, I know many of you didn't know or forgot that I have an older brother but I do. (Gosh, just cause most of you, including Jed has never met him doesn't mean he doesn't exist!) The kids just moved to Spanish Fork with their mom and stepdad from Texas and I'm so excited they're here! So of course they all brought their swimsuits to sit in the hottub. Austin went and put his suit on and came walking into the kitchen and I about choked on my water when I saw his stomach! Apparently his Aunt Brooke thought it would be funny to draw "fred" around his bellybutton----I have to admit---it made me laugh pretty hard! Below is a picture of the kids in the hot tub with Chelsi in the front "striking a pose". Every time she sees a camera she has to "strike a pose". I'm telling you she is freakin hilarious! She never stops talking, she talks like a valleygirl, and she's always got some story or advice to tell........some people say she's a "mini Nalani".....and I'm totally ok with that.
















Chelsi below "striking a pose" again while I take their picture. I think it's a toss up for the kids as to if they love Uncle Cody or Uncle Jed more! The last picture is of this morning. I of course had to do the girls hair and make-up before we could go shopping. Hayli isn't much of a shopper but Chelsi.......she could shop all day and was obsessed with getting an Abercrombie shirt because she heard some girls at school talking about that brand----lucky for me I found her an Abercrombie shirt at TJ Maxx!!!! The best part is that Jed tagged along with us on the shopping spree---what a guy! We ended the day with a late lunch at Pizza Factory where they thought it was the coolest thing in the world that they could order WHATEVER they wanted! I then had to take them home so I could run Jed to the airport. It was a good weekend.
