Look-a-like!

I saw this on my friends blog and decided to try it out. The results are in:

Look at me!

No, not me, Sarah! I swear she is the cutest girl ever! Although I know that all moms think that, and it really is true for everyone. I just wanted to post a few pictures of her today because her outfit is soo cute. Oh and the first picture is of Sarah and my sister after our afternoon at the Gateway.

Tagged Version #2

Angela tagged me once again, but this time the questions are about Creed!

What is his name? Creed Sterling Larsen

How long have you been married? 3 Years (February 14)

How long did you date? Our first date was the first weekend of the college school year of 2003 and we were married Valentines day of 2004. He went to school at BYU-I and I at BYU so we did the whole long distance thing, and actually only had 5 true dates before we decided to get married. But we dated over instant messanger-played games and chatted from October to December. We also had phone dates. It was great fun!

How old is he? 28

Who eats more? Creed does, but neither of us really eat a ton

Who said I love you first? I actually don't remember, but I have a feeling that it was me

Who is taller? Creed is taller, by about 4 or 5 inches.

Who sings better? Creed-but if I play my cards right I might be able to take voice lessons from his grandmother!

Who is smarter? Creed, and he has a better memory, but I was the better student and graduated both high school and college with better grades.

Who does the laundry? Me. But Creed will help me fold if I ask him.

Who does the dishes? Depends on the day. I have Tuesday through Friday, John, my cousin who lives with us, has Saturday and Monday and Creed has Sunday-otherwise I would go nuts, I HATE doing dishes!

Who cooks dinner? I do, but Creed will help and if I ask him to he will.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Creed does, but we go back and forth.

Who pays the bills? Technically both of us, he works so that we have the money to pay the bills, but I actually write the checks or send the money. Although we both budget the money so both of us is the right answer.

Who mows the lawn? We have never had a lawn, so I will tell you next year when we have one.

Who drives when you are together? Creed does, unless he wants me to.

Who is more stubborn? Me, but I am not really that stubborn, am I?

Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Though, I think that we are both really good at communication, and so if something bothers us we both just talk about it like reasonable people and both of us admit that we are wrong when we are.

Whose parents do you see the most? Creed's, they live in Murray and mine still live in Meridian

Who proposed? Creed on New Year's Eve, or maybe you would call it New Years, it was right at midnight

Who has more friends? Well....Creed does, or he has just stayed in touch with all of his friends better than I have.

Who has more siblings? Creed, he has 2 brothers and 3 sisters. I have 2 brothers and 1 sister.

Who wears the pants in the family? We both wear pants! But really I don't think that we have been in any situation where someone needs to be the only pant wearer yet. We both look at our relationship as partners and equals which is wonderful!

Busy Busy Bee, and Yes I am alive!

So I haven't blogged in a while and here is the explanations of why:

1. I got the stupid bug going around and couldn't think due to sinus problems for a week.

2. My sister came to visit for a week.

3. I am working on a huge undertaking-a Christmas present for my parents that involves scrapbooking and 28 years of memories and pictures!

4. Basement-need I say more

5. Sarah-also need I say more,p/>

So those would be the top 5 reasons I haven't gotten any blogging done in a long time, but here I am today with a few minutes, before I have to get back to reason #3. We are all doing a lot better. No one is really feeling sick, well okay I am still having a little earache, residual from the major sinus problem I had, but other than that I feel GREAT! Sarah is doing so well, she is saying new words all the time and getting faster as well. The basement is coming along, we had an inspection at the beginning of last week and passed, which means that now all the lights get to be hooked up and that then the insulation can be brought in. We are hoping to be done by the end of the month, minus cabinetry. Yesterday we drove to and from Boise to drop Kirsten off and pick up some more of what my Mom calls junk and I call treasure! It was quite exhausting, but it gave Creed and I some much needed talking time (the truck we drove didn't have a radio, so we brought one along that we could plug into a power converter, mostly worked!) Creed is also in a production for Grandma Mitton-Ahmal and the Night Visitors-he is playing his Bass which sounds so wonderful! This last weekend I also did a holiday boutique which went pretty good I sold three frames! I was so excited to actually sell some that I couldn't even stand it! So now we are back to the normal December busyiness with the extra that we have added onto ourselves, hopefully we will live through it all! I bet we will. Please email me your current addresses so I can send out my Christmas cards! If you don't have my email here it is: sharesalarsen@gmail.com.

Pictures

Here are a few pictures of Sarah from the past little while!

Sarah and my dad, she sure loves her Poppy!

Primary Program and shout outs!

So today was our primary program (yes I am way excited that it is over!) and the kids did great. They sang the songs loud and really had fun with everything. It was a lot of work, I didn't remember it being so much work when I was in them :) but for the leaders it really is. So now I am looking forward to next year and that program. The songs are really good (like always) and I am excited to be the one to teach the kids, so that if I mess up or the kids don't know the words it will be my fault. Plus I will know what they know and what they don't, unlike this year where I was called in June and they had only learned the first verses to the songs before. But it did turn out great and it was a lot of fun.

Now for the shout outs. I am just wondering if anyone has heard from Janelle, Karen or any of our other friends from high school. I have emailed Janelle a few times and haven't gotten a response, she is probably super busy. If anyone has information on these good friends let me know. I would love to hear how they are doing! Also I am starting on my Christmas cards, so please email me your current address! Thanks!

Toddler

So Sarah has decided that she wants to be a toddler now. She walks pretty much all the time, unless really tired, or Ryan is running to fast. The other day she threw her first temper tantrum. We came in from getting the mail and I set her down and she looked at me and just bawled and then threw herself into the ground. It was pretty sad. Then at dinner she wouldn't eat unless she had a spoon. Who knew, just earlier that day she ate with her fingers, but now she wants a spoon, and she doesn't even really know how to use it. Then in the tub she pretended to be eating! She has these fish toys for the bath and one is kind of shaped like a bowl. She filled it with water and then she dipped her fingers in and then put them to her mouth, she did this 5 or 6 times in a row. Once we put her to bed and were talking about it, we decided that she had decided to be a toddler from now on, and she really is. She says something new everyday, or makes a new sound. Right now baby is her favorite word.
