Husband Tag...

I was just looking back at some of my blog posts from a REALLY long time ago and I thought this one was pretty fun so I just had to post it again! :)


So I've been tagged like 4 times, but have never done it. I got tagged again to do my husband, but I would rather him write about it, so here it goes...

Since Liz didn't really want to brag about me and since I am pretty much my number one fan anyway...I figured what the heck...sure...I'll sit down and write a little bit about myself. I have also included this super sweet picture of myself. Man...I look good.
What is my name?
Robert Jared Judd

How long have you been together?
its been 6 years, 6 months, and 7 days since we first met. But, since Liz kind of had to warm up to me, I'd say we've been together 6 years 4 months and 3 days...

How long did you date?
shoot...we still date...like 3 times a month or something.

How old is he?
28...although people tell me I look 25

Who eats more?
Come on, I'm 6'3'' 215 lbs...who do you think?

Who said I love you first?
I'll be honest...no idea...I might have said, "I think I love you" after a few months?

Who is taller?
Seriously, if Liz was taller, I wouldn't be writing this because she would be a professional basketball player and I'd still be unmarried.

Who can sing better?
Liz won't even let me sing at FHE

Who is smarter?
No contest...I'm brilliant!

Who does the laundry?
I'm the best husband ever and I pretty much do it every night...by "doing the laundry" you mean putting it in the laundry basket, right?

Who pays the bills?
I'm an accountant...I LOVE IT...its in my blood!

Who sleeps on the right side?
If you ask Liz I usually sleep on the wrong side.

Who mows the lawn?
What is lawn?

Who cooks dinner?
Wahoos, Chilis, Sharky's and sometimes Liz or me

Who drives?
Well, we both have our licenses...

Who is more stubborn?
I have no idea on this one...pass

Who kissed who first?
I didn't want to do it, but she made me...

Who asked who out first?
If you count hanging out late at McDonalds as a date...then me...

Who proposed?
Put yourself in Liz's shoes...of course she did. Just kidding!

Who has more friends?
Liz

Who is more sensitive?
I can't say...I want to be sensitive to Liz's feelings...I wouldn't want to hurt her feelings by saying I'm more sensitive than her...I'm kind of sensitive like that.

Who has more siblings?
Tie--4 each

Who wears the pants?
I like to think that I do, but Liz has way more jeans then I do...so I'm not sure what that means?

I tag
Nathan and Scott (my brothers) - but Emily and Cheryl will have to tell them because I am pretty sure they'll never look at this blog.

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we went to St. George. The girls had a lot of fun seeing their cousins, although they missed their other cousins too who couldn't be there because their mom was having a baby! :) The Thanksgiving dinner was DELICIOUS!

Santa Claus came to the house on Saturday morning to visit the kids and give them some pajamas. Rob's mom had him come last year too, the kids were so excited to see him!! I'm so thankful for this time of year. We are super busy but it's soo much fun!!

My 30th Birthday...

For my 30th Birthday Rob's mom came down and watched the kids while I went to Las Vegas with my 4 sisters and mom! We had such a fun time. My sister Meghan just had a baby 3 months ago so she brought her little baby. She is such an adorable baby, although it took her some time to get used to 5 new faces as you can see in the picture below with her and my mom. We pretty much attacked her right when she came out of the airport!

When Meghan and I came back from the airport, our hotel room was decorated and they had a really yummy bundt cake for us to eat! Try not to look too close at the Glamour shots, seriously they are so ugly!

We did lots of shopping...

and eating and we got to see The Phantom of the Opera and Jersey Boys while we were there.

We got pedicures and went to the M&M store. When we were in there we saw Mark and Sunshine from the Biggest Loser! So we of course had to take a picture with them.:)

We had such a great time just being together, I loved every second of it! Thank you soooo very much mom for making it happen!!!

Halloween Weekend..

We started the weekend by getting Taylor and her cousin Ethan out of school a little early so that Jill and I could take the kids to Sea World. I love that place! Then the next day we went to a Scooby Doo Haunted House with my mom and sister Jill. After we left the Haunted House we went over to Scripps Ranch where they were giving away free candy in all of their stores which the kids loved! We then headed over to our Trunk-or-treat! We had a VERY busy day getting candy and more and more candy!
My mother-in-law went to Spain and bought these dresses and she let me borrow them for their halloween costumes. I decided to use the same hair things that the girls used last year when they were Mulan. This is Olivia, she really wanted her picture taken by herself.
Taylor also wanted a picture, I couldn't get Grace to take a picture!
The whole gang, minus my mom, she's taking the picture!

Merrick's Bday

It has been over a month since I posted but it's because we have been soo incredibly busy! We just moved into our house last Saturday and then my family came over last night to celebrate my nieces birthday. It was actually a really good thing too because it made Robert and I get soooo much done around the house. It was really fun to have everyone together!! Happy Birthday Merrick!

Grace and Olivia in Preschool

This Girl...and This Girl...
had their first day of preschool and loved it! I can't even believe it, they were so scared to go and now they look forward to going! It's such a cute little school and thankfully they have each other since they know no one yet!

What we've been up to...

Grace and Olivia set up all of their toys to watch them have their "dance party"!
We have my sister's kids with us while she is in Utah shopping, shopping, and shopping! (how fun!) They decided to build a fort, it was so cute! We've had so much fun with them here!

Taylor's First day of school....

So Taylor started first grade today! She was so happy last night to meet new people until we went to school this morning. Hopefully she'll have a good day today. Everyone told me she had the teacher that all the mom's try and get their kids in, so that's good! She has her cousin Ethan who is in Second grade going to the same school as her too which she was pretty excited about. We'll see what she has to say when she gets home from school...it seems like a great school though and everyone is so friendly!

Date night (sort of)

So we finally moved down to San Elijo Hills, San Marcos but not into a house yet. We are still waiting (patiently...kindof) to hear about the short sale house that we have an offer on. So now we are in a 3 bedroom apartment. We have our cousin Baily visiting us for a few days and Rob and I have been so stressed out so I decided to sort of make tonight a date night. :) I made fruit with dip, taco soup and chocolate chip brownies. I had Taylor and Bailey write the menu and a sign that said "please wait to be seated" for Rob when he came home from work. The girls got so excited to help out and it was really fun and gave us an excuse to sit down and talk. It was nice to have the girls serve us (even though of course I had to make the entire dinner)! Hopefully we'll have an update soon about our house.
ps. We REALLY miss orange county and our friends soo very much! :(

A wedding reception

We went to a wedding reception this last weekend and it was a lot of fun seeing people we haven't seen for over 5 years. (of course I don't have any pictures of any one at the reception except for my family...kind of embarrassing!) With all of the pictures we took you would have thought we were the ones celebrating something that night! :)

Knott's Soak City...

Every year my sister's and I go to Knott's Soak City and it's sooo much fun! My kids LOVE it and it's really pretty easy to take them since they are playing with their cousins the whole time! The only thing missing was my sister Meghan and her kids! :(

Gifts for my sister's new baby...

How fun would it be to get all of this in the mail! I just finished making it for my sister and her new baby Lilly! You can take a closer look at these things on my craft blog! Love you Meghan!! :)

A visit to St. George and Salt Lake...

The girls and I drove to St. George to visit Rob's family. When we first got there, Robert's brother scott and his wife and kids were there. My girls were so excited to see them; they had to leave the next day and my kids were really sad to have their cousin Allie leave them! The first night we got there, the girls made a tower out of ice cream cones and icing.
A few days later (with the help Robert's mom and sisters) I was able to go see Meghan have her 3rd baby. I drove as fast as I could and thought that I would for sure miss the whole thing, but I got there at 11:30 and her baby wasn't born until 3:30. Meghan had an adorable baby girl named Lilly; she's so sweet and Meghan looked beautiful of course! :)

I drove back from Salt Lake the next day and when I got back to St. George we all went to see Tarzan at the Tuachan theater. It was so unbelievably amazing and Taylor loved it!!

It was such a fun trip! I also went to St. George because Michelle's boyfriend just came home from his mission and we might have spied on him at the airport and spied on him a few times at his house. :) It was so much fun and they are so cute together. :)
