Tag you're it!

This 'tag' that Chris did looks fun, so here goes:

How long have you been married? 33 years, 1 month
How old is your spouse? 9 1/2 months older than me!
Who eats more? Mel but only by a little bit. Many times I'm the winner in that department.
Who is taller? Mel is 4 inches taller than me, unless I am wearing heels
Who sings better? We sing about the same, but I can sing alto and Mel can't!
Who is smarter? Depends on what kind of 'smarts' you're talking about. I win in the math department, but he wins in the leadership department.
Who controls the T.V. remote? Mel, definitely. He can't stand to watch commercials.
Whose temper is worse? We are both pretty calm, but I would become upset before he does.
Who does the laundry? Me. Mel used to iron his shirts when I was busy with the kids, but now I can handle that for him too.
Who does the dishes? Me. Mel helps often, and I especially love it when he steps in and takes care of that for me.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Me. I think I always have.
Who cooks dinner? Me. But sometimes he takes over and puts a meal together, and of course, I love that!
Who is more stubborn? Neither of us are very stubborn, at least that I can think of right now.
Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? We're the same, pretty much.
Whose parents do you see the most? Mine because Mel's passed away in 2002. When they were both living, it was pretty much 50/50.
Who has more friends? Even steven - we're the same.
Who has more siblings? I win that one, 8 to 4.
Who wears the pants in the family? We both wear the pants, and we look very good in them too! :)

OK, I tag Abbi, Jessi, Audra and Jessie!

Wedding Memories - Pyne/Evanson Family Party

The evening before Adam and Jessie's wedding, the Pyne's and the Evanson's got together to enjoy supper, talk and have Father's Blessings for Adam and Jessie before their marriage. It was a lively event! You can see the happy anticipation on Adam and Jessie's faces. Mike came to our rescue by corraling the kids who were running everywhere and captivating them with games and stories. Jessie's sister Lacy was able to make it to the dinner. Jessi and Abbi helped me decide if we had enough food and drink for everyone. This was the beginning of our wonderful wedding week!

Congratulations Adam and Jessie!!

We had a WONDERFUL time at Adam and Jessie's wedding! We are soooooo happy for them both! It is a pleasure to welcome Jessie into our family and have Adam a part of her wonderful family too. Our Pyne/Evanson family party was fun, the ceremony at the Salt Lake Temple was heavenly, the wedding luncheon was delicious and the tributes given to Adam and Jessi filled our hearts with joy! The reception that evening was a great celebration, and the reception in Denver on Saturday was equally enjoyable. (The Evanson family knows how to throw a great party!) What a perfect way to have a family reunion! I hereby predict that Jessie and Adam will be fantastic parents. Look in the third picture how many nieces and nephews they have already helped to raise! (According to my figures, they have 21 nieces and nephews and one more on the way.) They are child-raising experts already!

I wanted to post this right after we returned from the wedding festivities, but when I downloaded my pictures, I lost them somewhere in my computer on my new Adobe Photoshop program. (At first, I thought they were gone forever. I was sick!) But luckily I found where they were hiding, and with the expert coaching of Audra, I was able to find out how to get to them so I could post them. Thanks Audra!
