Giggles!

I found this video of Talyn when he was about 81/2 months old. I had just sucked his nose with the nose sucker and I just about gagged. Talyn thought it was the funniest sound ever...I kept making the gag sound and he would just giggle. He has the best belly laugh!

Tagging!

I have been tagged several times so I thought I would get started. Here is one of a few I have been tagged with.

*How long have you been together? 12 years...But we had several off and on moments. We have been married for just over 8 years now.

*How old is he? Just turned 31!

*Who eats more? Usually Corey, unless it is pizza than I surely eat more. (Pizza is a weakness of mine)

*Who said I love you first? Definitely Corey. It took me awhile to pull that out of the hat.

*Who is taller? Corey. He has me by about 10 inches

*Who sings better? That is a toss up. Neither of us sing very loud. I think it is because we both know we aren't very good.

*Who is smarter? Depends on the subject.

*Who does the laundry? That would be me. Corey's idea of laundry is wash one shirt at a time or throw all different colors in at the same time.

*Who does the dishes? We split this task.

*Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do unless we are staying somewhere else and the right side of the bed is closer to the door than I sleep on the left side. I like being the furthest from the door.

*Who pays the bills? We split this task as well. I do for the most part but he pays a couple. Although, I am constantly reminding him, "don't forget you need to pay those bills".

*Who mows the lawn? Corey. He claims I would never mow the lawn, but he forgets I grew up mowing the lawn. Besides, he never gives me a chance to...he is obsessed with mowing the lawn. I swear he mows every other day.

*Who cooks dinner? Rolayne, my mom, Angie, Wingers, Guads! Niether of us are real big cooks but I will cook. I can count on one hand how many times Corey has cooked in 8 years.

*Who drives when you are together? Corey almost always does. He will tell you I drive but that I drive from the passenger seat.

*Who is more stubborn? That is definitely me, no questions asked.

*Who kissed who first? Which go around? Actually that doesn't matter, he did all three times.

*Who asked who out? High school - Corey/Paul Belcher (long story). College & after his mission- Corey. The 3rd go around is questionable. I called him after not talking for about 4 months to tell him I was moving and to say goodbye and he called me back the next day to go to dinner.

*Who proposed? Corey. I can say it wasn't the most romantic proposal but for those who know the story it was truly perfect for Corey & I.

*Who is more sensitive? I can say without a doubt Corey. He is so kind hearted he never wants to upset or offend anyone. He is always trying to make everyone happy. I think my stubbornness gets in the way of my sensitivity sometimes. Obviously it depends on the situation. Now, when it comes to animals I am extremely sensitive.

*Who has more friends? We both have a lot of the same friends since we went to school together. We also have friends that we have made through the years separate and together.

*Who has more siblings? Corey has me beat in this department. He has an older brother & sister and a younger sister. I am an only child.

*Who wears the pants in the family? I would probably have to say I do and I think most people would probably agree. Again it comes down to the fact that Corey is just much more laid back than I am, he doesn't stress about the little things!

PS: Lindsay don't worry I haven't forgotten about your tag, I am just not a big fan of talking about myself so it is taking me some time to get it done.

Cookie Cutters

We took Talyn in for his second haircut about a week ago. The place we go to is called Cookie Cutters. It is great. All the chairs are different kinds of cars. They have screens in front of each chair that plays a movie if you would like. There are many things to keep the kids distracted from the person cutting their hair. This time we went for a shorter, more spiked look rather than the shag he has always had. I can't believe how much older it makes him look.















Talyn, grandma & I all went to the Festival of Trees last Wed. It is a tradition my mom & I have been doing since I can remember. It was so much fun to be able to take Talyn this year. He had a great time looking at all the trees. He just pointed and said "ooh ooh" the entire time.

Check out the new dew!

Playing Catch Up!

I can't seem to stay caught up with this blog. So here we go again playing catch up.


First of all, we had our first emergency a few weeks ago with Talyn. He was walking by our bed, fell and hit his face on our bed rail. He came up screaming blood flowing out of his mouth. We looked and he had a big gapping hole where he had a tooth. He hit his tooth so hard when he fell it pushed his tooth all the way back up into his gum. After a few panicked moments we were able to get hold of a pediatric dentist that lives up the street. He took a look and said 90% chance the tooth will come back down and be just fine. Now it is just a waiting game to see if the tooth comes back down. All I can say is it is amazing how resilient kids are...a little Motrin that night and he has been fine since.


Thanksgiving has come and gone. What a wonderful time to get together with family and friends and remember all the things that we are thankful for. This year we had a Thanksgiving breakfast at Corey's moms house. Our friends Cody and Ang & Talyn's buddy Kyan joined us before they headed to their Thanksgiving dinner with family. We then went to my moms house for Thanksgiving dinner. This actually worked out really great. Our food from breakfast had time to settle just in time to stuff ourselves some more with a wonderful traditional turkey dinner with all the fixings!

On November 30 we had our annual B&B (Bruse & Belcher) birthday bash! Corey and Paul celebrate their birthdays together by renting out a skybox for a Jazz game. This year we celebrated their birthdays with many close friends, enjoyed a catered dinner & watched the Jazz destroy the Lakers!!

Figuring this Blog thing out!

It has been over 2 months since I created this blog and I haven't touched it since its initial creation. So I am trying to catch up...besides the fact I don't know what I am doing!

A lot has happened in the past 2 months. Talyn turned 1! I can't believe he is a year old. Time sure does fly! He had his first birthday cake and really enjoyed it!












We visited a local pumkin patch and Talyn had a blast picking out pumkins with his buddy Logan.


Halloween has also come and gone. Talyn had a good time trick-or-treating visiting the grandparents homes and a few friends. He was dressed up as a ferocious lion! We entered him in a Halloween costume contest at 971zht. You can vote for him at http://www.971zht.com/pages/halloween/cuties/ He is #28. Voting starts on Nov. 6th.



















One last thing to catch up on... we went 4 wheeling a couple of weeks ago. We stayed on Greg's property in Loa (by Richfield). We pulled our 5th wheel and my mom and Greg pulled the 4 wheelers. We went on a trail to Donkey Lake. Talyn rode in the baby bjorn strapped to dad.

Catching up with the Times

So we have decided to try and catch up with the times! We are new to this new wave of Blogging. It may take us awhile to catch onto how the whole thing works. Hopefully we will make our blog more interesting in the future.
