All About Us

My future SIL posted this questionnaire on her blog and I thought it was kind of fun so I thought I'd do it to. Here's a little bit about me and Cody.


{1} What are your middle names?
Cody's is Ray

Mine was Michelle till I got married and then I changed it to Herrera. If you asked Cody he would say it's Ugene (Eugene) so that my initials were DUH. Ya, he thinks he's funny.

{2} How long have you been together?
We started dating 13 years ago and have been married for 8! Ya Baby!!

{3} How long did you know each other before you started dating?
Pretty much our whole life. I lived next door to his grandparents when we were little. Went to elementary school together for a couple of years and then Jr. high and high school.

{4} Who asked who out?
Cody would say that he asked me out first in 7Th grade, but I told him no. I then asked him to a dance in 10Th grade and he told me no. We finally got it right just before our junior year.

{5} How old are each of you?
Cody and I are both 29.

{6} Did you go to the same school?
Yes, a couple years together at East Elem. and then Jr High and High School together.

Yup, and we both bleed purple!

We're equally smart in different areas. :-)

{9} Who majored in what?
Cody has his Assoc in Drafting and his Bachelors in Engineering and Technology Education.
I went to Cosmetology school at Hairitage.

{10} Who is the most sensitive?
I would have to say that we are both pretty sensitive, but I'm not sure what Cody would say. Maybe me?

{11} Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
Connecticut

{12} Who has the worst temper?
He'd probably say me...hmm...ok I'd probably say me, too.

{13} How many children do you want?
Right now I'd have to say two sounds pretty good, but Cody would still like to try for that girl.

{14} Who does the cooking?
We both do, but I think Cody is the better cook.

{15} Who is more social?
I'm not sure, maybe Cody?

{16} Who is the neat freak?
I am! I like things in their place.

{17} Who is the most stubborn?
Hands down I am.

{18} Who wakes up earlier?
Definitely Cody. I don't like to stay up late or wake up early. Yup, a little boring.

{19} Where was your first date?
Neither of us can remember. But I do have to say that we've had a lot of fun ones!

{20} Who has the bigger family?
Immediate, I do. Extended, Cody does.

{21} Do you get flowers often?
Not often. Every now and then he'll surprise me.

{22} How do you spend the holidays?
Together and with family. That's what makes it so fun.

{23} Who is more jealous?
The girl I got this from said:
"probably me..of his time more than anything. He is really busy, which is a good thing, but we have to schedule time to just stay home, sometimes."

and I feel THE EXACT SAME WAY! (Had to copy you Nicole because that fits us PERFECTLY!)

{24} How long did it take to get serious?
Probably happened pretty fast because we had liked each other for so long.

{25} Who eats more?
Cody does.

{26} What do you do for a living?
I am a Cosmetologist (hairdresser) at Tangles Salon.

Cody is a Teacher, Wrestling and Soccer Coach, and Yearbook Advisor at Tooele High.

{27} Who does the laundry?
I do. That is the one thing Cody does not do. I actually enjoy doing it. Weird?

{28} Who's better with the computer?
Definitely Cody!

{29} Who drives when you are together?
Cody does.

{30} What is your song?

As soon as it snows Boston thinks it's time to go out and make a snowman. Even if it's FREEZING outside and VERY windy! What a great dad he has though to bundle him up to go out and play. Boston's buddies Stetson and Sawyer were able to come over and help them out.

Boston, Stetson, & Sawyer

Since they finished the snowman they decided to build a slide out of snow as well. How fun!

Can I just say that right now I am not a big fan of Disney Channel or Nick Jr. Every single commercial is of a toy. So this is what I hear all the time:

Boston: "Mom, I want that."
Me: "I know, you want everything"
Boston: "Not everything. Just all the kids toys for boys."

Lets just say his list is not small and I haven't even started Christmas shopping. Where did the year go?

Roll 'em over... Lay 'em flat...

Pin the shoulders to the mat! Yup, wrestling has started!! Boston has so much fun at wrestling. I think he really enjoys it more because his cousin Hunter gets to go too. They are the same age and size so they do a lot of wrestling together. They look so cute at practice with the big kids.

Some more good news... WE HAVE A WALKER! Logan has been cruising for a while but now he just goes all over the place. It makes me laugh when he walks though because he holds his hands out in front of him (like below) and he looks like a little monster walking around. So happy he can do it on his own.

Lions and Bears... Oh My!!

We had a great Halloween. Boston was Leo the Lion (Real Salt Lake mascot) and Logan was Whinnie the Pooh. Loved their costumes and they worked out great for keeping them warm. They got tons of candy that we just absolutely needed (sense the sarcasm). We did trick-or-treat on main this year and was a little disappointed. Not as many businesses participated and let me tell you, standing in a extremely long line for one piece of candy isn't up my alley. Luckily Boston didn't mind skipping those ones. We did go into one of the skate shops which was a mistake because Boston was waiting patiently to get a rice crispy treat and all the bigger kids were shoving him out of the way. Mama Bear was getting unleashed and about took those kids out. I couldn't believe it. So I picked him up, got his treat and quickly got out of there. We then did the ward trunk-or-treat which turned out pretty good but got rained on a lot. Halloween is not that fun in the rain.This is the only family shot we could get. Logan wasn't too interested, hence the grumpy face.

So we attempted a shot of just the boys.

Boston giving us his best Lion ROOAARR!

Halloween picture with Uncle Marky and Nicole with her crazy lashes. Made my eyes water just looking at them.

And we had to take a picture with the boys buddies Stetson and Sawyer. They get babysat at their house. Sawyer is the knight and Stetson is the dragon. Such cute costumes. If you can't tell, this was the only picture we got of Logan smiling. He loves them.
