A little about my hubby....

My sister in law Wendy tagged me for this fun post...I don't have a picture to include with it. We don't have very many pictures together and I refuse to take a 37 week pregnant picture. I would fill up the whole frame and you wouldn't be able to see rob...not a pretty picture! So here we go....



What is his name: Reid Robinson Parkinson


How long have you been together? We’ve been married 4 years 7 months


How long did you date? Not too long (think BYU couple) We dated, got engaged and married in 5 months!


Who eats more? Definitely Rob. But I can sometimes match him when we eat candy! (probably not something to be proud of!)


Who said I love you first? He did. Funny story...

Who is taller? Rob is and I LOVE it! I can wear the tallest shoes and I still am shorter


Who is smarter? Rob is better at math and science and I’m better at english and reading


Who does the laundry? Me. Isn’t that a mom chore???


Who does the dishes? Me again…Rob helps clear off the table. In his defense though…after dinner is when he plays with Ava before he holes up in our room to go study for the rest of the night. Once this school stuff is out of the way….I’ll make sure we take turns with dish duty!

Who sleeps on the right? Me. It’s funny cause if we ever sleep in a bed at our parents or hotel we always automatically choose the same side we sleep on at home.


Who pays the bills? He does the online bills and I write out the ones that we snail mail.

Who mows the lawn? Right now a lawn service does it (part of the rent!) Growing up, the girls mowed the lawn around my house. But I was informed by Rob that mowing the lawn is a guys job, so when eventually get our own house he will be mowing the lawn!


Who cooks dinner? Me. And I dislike cooking so so so much. Our meals don’t get to creative around here!


Who is more stubborn? Anyone who knows us very well knows that we are both VERY stubborn. And I like how Amanda put it…we combined and made Ava. Enough said.


Who kissed who first? Rob kissed me first. It was at his apartment over a bowl of Nemo ice cream. (vanilla ice cream with chocolate Nemo’s. Seriously, Ava would have loved this ice cream!)


Who asked out who first? Rob asked me out. We met at the library during finals. Rob was ready to go home and asked me if I wanted a ride home on his…MOTORCYCLE! I actually had a study group in 15 minutes at the library but I wanted him to ask for my phone number so I agreed. It was pouring rain outside and on his way to his motorcycle he finally asked for my phone number. He dropped me off at my apartment where I changed out of my wet clothes and had Amanda drive me back up to the library for my study group. Rob asked me out about a week later. We went to a jazz game (play-offs. I can’t remember who played) had dinner, and then went for a ride around Provo on his motorcycle.


Who proposed? He did. We were getting married in about 2 months and I still had no ring. (it was all picked out just not ready.) Temple reservations and everything, just no “official” proposal. Every time we would get together I kept expecting him to ask me but he didn’t. One night he needed me to drive him to the airport so he could fly to New York for a week. We conveniently had a few extra minutes before he had to be there so we stopped by Ensign Peak. He had rose petals all over with candles and roses all over a bench. He asked me, I said yes, we packed up and I drove him to the airport to say good bye for a week!

Who has more siblings? There are 7 kids in his, 6 in mine


Who wears the pants? We co-operate.

Now I tag Liz and Jess!
