All about my Husband


I figured this was a good tag for me to do, seeing as it was just Grady's Birthday and I didn't dedicate a big enough blog post to him.

All you ever needed to know about my Husband...


What is his name? Graydon Spencer Stoner (Grady is his nickname)

How long have you been together? Married- 4 1/2

How long did you date? We dated for a year and were engaged for 6 months


How old is he? 28


Who eats more? We pretty much eat the exact same. Unless I tell him to finish something off for me. What can I say... I like to eat :)
Who is taller? Grady is by about 1 inch. GO GRADY!

Who can sing better? Me, although he can sing

Who is smarter? Grady for sure!!! He graduated from BYU, majoring in Russian with Honors. He also had an Academic Scholarship. He's amazing!

Who does the laundry? Me... even when we were both working

Who pays the bills? Me... also even when we were both working

Who sleeps on the right side? Me

Who mows the lawn? Grady does mostly, but I really don't have a problem with doing it.

Who cooks dinner? Me. Grady can, he just doesn't. He does make dang good pancakes for us on weekends.

Who drives? Mostly Grady, but sometimes, I'm in the mood, so I will.

Who is more stubborn? Me, for sure! Grady's very easy going!

Who kissed who first? I hate to admit this, but I kissed him. He had never kissed a girl before, so I was afraid he was never going to get the balls to do it. So, I was sick of waiting. :)

Who asked who out first? I guess he did. When we first met he entered me and my roommate in a contest to win a date. I ended up winning one with him, but he never did anything about it... Until I brought it up, and reminded him he owed me a date. So, you be the judge.

Who proposed? Graydon did

Who has more friends? Probably me... tough one.

Who is more sensitive? Grady

Who has more siblings? Grady is the youngest of 6 and I'm the 3rd of 4.

Who wears the pants? Grady makes all the big decisions. But, my opinion counts. :) And all the little stuff we decide together.
What you might not know about my husband...

His Dreams: This is one thing that me and Grady talk about often. We talk about different places we want to travel, look at homes often, talk about fun toys we would want. Grady says it's good to have goals and dreams, because it gives you a constant motivation. He owns his own company, and I know that one of his dreams with that is that it will be successful and he'll be able to concentrate more on the things he loves to do, and be able to hire others to do the monotonous things.

High School Activities: He played football in High School for the Orem Tigers. But, he's also really good at basketball. Too bad he never tried out.

His Hobbies: He loves sports. He snowboards and wakeboards. He likes to golf, but sadly doesn't do it a whole lot. He likes to read and learn new things. He plays the guitar and is really good at the piano. He's really good at carpentry, and is my Mr. Fix-it! He can seriously do anything, and if not, he'll read how to do it, and then he's good to go.

Oops... I got tagged! :)

Sorry! I'm so slow with catching these! So, here's what it is:

This is a book tag. In the book you are currently reading, or one of your favorite books, turn to page 123 and post the 5th sentence on that page. Then tag 5 people.

(I actually finished reading it yesterday, but I'll let it count anyway)


It's kind of random, oh well...

"I need something that won't attract attention."

It was a good book and it's all action, action, action, in case you like that. Apparently the author wrote the book Sahara is based off of.

I now tag: my sister-in-law Ashley, and my sister Amanda. Since they always are reading a good book.

Happy Birthday Grady!

Today is my sweethearts birthday! I just wanted to dedicate a quick post to him. I just think he's the greatest! He's super smart, very talented and such a hard worker. Oh, and not to mention an amazing father.
I hope this year, your 28th year, will be the best yet.
Thanks for all you do for us as a family and for me individually. I love you so much!

Snoop Dogg is fo the B of M!

So, apparently according to this Snoop Dogg is Mormon!?!
I'm sure most of you, if not all have heard about it by now and know it was an April Fools joke. What I'm curious about, is who believed it? And, how did you hear about it? People have pretty funny stories, and I'm dying to hear them!

Basketball Championships

So, the championships are officially over. Which is kind of nice, cause I won't have to plan my life around the games, but kind of sad at the same time. Here's how the Regional Championships went.
We played my sister's ward in Saratoga Springs in our first Regional game. Sadly, in overtime, we lost by 4 pts. So, we were out of the main championships, but they did have a Consolidation bracket. So, us losers went down there. :)
Our next game was the next week and only 5 of us were able to be there. (2 of the really good ones were gone) So, we decided to just have fun, and hey... We won! It was so much fun! The next game was 2 days after, so it would be just the 5 of us again. This game was for the championship of the Consolidation bracket.. so the Looser winners? Anyway... Guess who we played? Eagles Gate!!! Anyone who read about our stake tournament realizes this is the team that we played 3 times in one night for the stake championship and ended up beating. Funny that we'd have to play them again for another championship. So, we decided that we just had to beat them again. It wouldn't work out to well if we beat them in the Stake games and they turn around and beat us in the Regions.
It was a really competitive game, and really fun, and we won! By like 15 pts. or something! Ya, I'm pretty competitive! Who knew! I'm still not going to say I'm good, but I have improved, so at least that's something. I'm just grateful to a great team who is so nice to teach me and let me play and who have such good attitudes!

So, Volleyball is next... What do you think? Should I attempt that too?
