We just heard about the passing of Pres. Hinckley. We can't imagine the world without him! It is hard to know how to feel. He will be greatly missed but at least he can be with his sweet wife again.

Tag- and I guess I'm it!
I don't usually follow through with tags because I hate answering the questions but when it is about my handsome husband I can break out of my comfort zone.
What is his name? Adam Joel Barrow
How long have you been together? Hmmm, tough one! We met in 7th grade. In 8th grade I went home and told my mom I was going to marry him. We were really good friends in high school and college. We didn't really date we would just hang out. Then 2 weeks before his mission- he kissed me! What?!?! I know! The day after he got home from his mission (July 2003) we were together all the time, got engaged November 1st 2003 and were married 6 months later. Long story I know...and so to answer the question..."officially together" for 4 1/2 years.
How long did you date? Read the answer above and you decide.
How old his he? 25 (although he never remembers and has to ask me)
Who eats more? It depends on what we are eating. If it is ice cream I win hands down. And of course when I am pregnant and not throwing everything up, I can give him a run for his money. He would say he eats more because I always make him finish my food if I don't want it.
Who said I love you first? We said it at exactly the same time. Psyche! We don't remember. It was probably me since I stalked him for like 20 years.
Who is taller? Are you serious? Adam! I think I might fall into the "little people" category.
Who can sing better? I'd have to say me since Adam just mouths the words and no sound actually comes out.
Who is smarter? I would say Adam. I am so amazed at how smart he is. He already has his Masters degree and has completed all of his CPA exams while working and spending time with his family. He also gets stellar grades on everything! I am pretty sure Grant got his daddy's "smart" genes. Thank goodness!
Who does the laundry? I do. I am sure Adam would be willing to help but he can't live down the fact that he shrunk my Shabby Apple dress (girls, you have to check them out: http://www.shabbyapple.com/). Oh how I miss that dress...and the 88bucks Adam spent on it. Guess it is a good thing he was the one that ruined it and not me.
Who pays the bills? We both do. I pay the majority of the bills but Adam takes care of his own credit card.
Who sleeps in the right side? If you are laying in the bed, I do. We have switched a lot though. It all depends on what side is closer to the baby.
Who mows the lawn? We both enjoy mowing the lawn. Adam had to fight me to mow it when we lived at my parents, even though it was about 100 degrees outside and I was 8 months pregnant.
Who cooks dinner? I do. Although, Adam is very helpful when I am pregnant and can't stand the sight or smell of most food.
Who is more stubborn? My poor husband...I am! Adam is so calm and I don't think he has one stubborn bone in him. I am so lucky!
Who kissed who first? He did but if he hadn't I would have planted one on him!
Who asked who out first? I asked Adam to Husky Howl our senior year and it was the best date ever!
Who proposed? Adam did and he was so creative! I thought he would never get that blasted ring!
Who has more friends? Good question. Everyone loves Adam so I would say he has more friends.
Who is more sensitive? Can you hear me laughing? I am. Once again, poor Adam!
Who has more siblings? Adam- oldest of 4 boys. I have an older brother.
Who wears the pants? Probably me but I wouldn't mind if Adam tried on a pair once in a while.
I tag: Megan H., Kristy, Kendra, Courtney and Erin (but don't feel obligated) :-)

Movin' on up...
Yes, we are moving up a few cities. Moving up in apartment size? Not so much. But hey, it has a "yard". A cement one that is but at least Grant can go outside in a fenced area and ride bikes, kick balls, whatever his little heart desires! And we can bbq...Wahoo! So anyway, there probably won't be any posts for a while because I only have 2 weeks to pack and move. We accepted a different managing position. The great thing with the new job is that we get free rent plus cash on top of that. That deserves another WAHOO!

Funny Boy
We have had some crazy weather the past few days. It has rained a ton and has been extremely windy. Grant has loved it though. He enjoys putting on his rain coat and rain boots so he can go outside and splash! On Saturday he found a big puddle and got so excited. He exclaimed, "Ohhhh, the ocean!" He even attempted to swim in the "ocean" but mommy stopped all the fun.
Earlier in the day, we had been watching the rain drops fall on the window. Later on Grant was crying and told mommy, "Rain is fawing on my face." So sad yet so cute. Don't you hate it when rain falls on your face?

New Fish
We would like to announce that we have a new member of the family. That's right, Phoebe Philo Barrow joined us on Saturday. We feel kind of bad that Phoebe is a boy with a girls name but Grant is in charge. At first he wanted to name the fish, Kitty. When I asked him why he chose that name, his response made sense..."Cuz den I can pet it!" We have to constantly remind him that we do not pet fish! He is also quite concerned that we don't feed Phoebe enough. He is already a very good pet owner.
Let us tell how you how we came to own a fish. Grant and mommy were at the doctor's office and there is a fish tank there. Grant turned to mommy and said, "Hab (have) it!" Mommy asked what he wanted to have and he responded, "Hab a fish." Mommy said, "You want a fish?" Grant said, "Wa (ya)! Ask Daddy!" So mommy and Grant asked daddy and daddy said yes. He said we could go get it in a few days (thinking that Grant would forget). Grant did not forget and continually reminded us that we were going to "buy a fish" and "pay wif money." And so, enjoy the pictures of our cute little Phoebe!

White Christmas
We were able to go to UT for Christmas and we had a wonderful time! It was nice to have snow on the ground but we were glad to get back to CA where it has been quite a bit warmer. Grant had so much fun with everyone. Unfortunately, I took most of the pix with my mom's camera and forgot to pull them off before we left. I know, I am a bright one!
On the 22nd we went to Grammy and Grandpa B's to have a get together with Grammy's side of the family. Here is Grant with the great-grandkids, Hannah and Aiden. Grant was able to be a shepherd for the nativity. He was holding a toy lamb and kept throwing it up in the air. He eventually decided to sit down and when he saw Baby Jesus he got so excited and said, "Wow! Jesus!" It was so cute.
Here is Grant in the jammies he got on Christmas Eve posing with Christmas presents.
And here is what he did when I told him to say "cheese"...keep working on that one Bug!

He loved squeezing the horn on the bike and liked sitting on the bike while someone pushed him around. He started to get the hang of how the pedals work and he was so proud of himself. Even though Bug was sick on Christmas Eve and Christmas, he managed to have a ball with all the presents and enjoyable company!
