My First TAG

Thanks to my sister Tawna for tagging me for the first time! I will get you back! This was very interesting and very thought-provoking for me. Instead of just making it about me, I'm doing it on behalf of my family! Well, here goes:

THEN & NOW TAG

20 Years Ago:
1. Kala just finished 4th grade in Tremonton, which was the first year she lived there.
2. Kala's family got a new car: a GMC Astro Van. This was a big event for the Perkins family because they traded the orange VW Bus to get it, a car that my family had owned for YEARS and was fondly called the "Perkins Pumpkin" by the neighborhood!
3. Josh completed the 6th grade and took band for the first time, learning to play the trumpet.

10 Years Ago:
1. Kala completed two semesters of college at SUU in Cedar City and then subsequently quit--after getting two scholarships to get there: theatrical and academic!
2. Josh bought his first home in Tremonton, and worked two jobs to pay for it: fertilizer and diesel mechanic.
3. Kala and Josh were married in the Logan Temple.

5 Years Ago:
1. Kala was driving the 2 1/2 hours quite frequently to visit the OB/GYN in Idaho Falls to have many ultrasounds of the twins' pregnancy.
2. Josh went to Yellowstone National Park for the first time, even though he's lived in Idaho his entire life!
3. Ammon was going to daycare while mommy worked at the credit union full-time, and his best friends were Dillon, Kaitlyn, and Evie.

3 Years Ago:
1. Kala went to Seattle for the first time to see her brother Cody get married. She visited the SpaceNeedle and Pike's Market while there.
2. Josh coached High School Cross Country by himself - the previous 2 years he had assistant coaches.
3. Ammon was getting ready to start Kindergarten in the afternoons. Jonah and Micah were just learning to walk.

1 year ago:
1. Kala gave birth to Kanyon, and after her first real attempt with breast feeding, she quit after 4 months because he was allergic to milk.
2. Josh was finally released from being the Scout Master after 5 years, and got called to the Young Men's Presidency instead.
3. Ammon completed his first year of Little League Baseball (a step-up from T-Ball). Jonah and Micah finished their first year of Preschool at the Child Development Center.

So far this year:
1. Kala has hit her ultimate latest time at group scrapbooking of 5:00 am.
2. Josh took Kala to England and visited people that he met on his mission there 11 years ago.
3. Ammon was baptized by his dad. Jonah and Micah found more eggs at the annual Easter Egg Hunt than their older brother and cousin-an absolute first for them! Kanyon turned 1, and we celebrated with a giant sheet of brownies made by Grandma.

Yesterday:
1. Kala lost at a game of Cranium at the Tolman party (it was boys versus girls).
2. Josh lit all the family's fireworks for our entertainment when it got dark.
3. Ammon played Wii with his cousins. Jonah and Micah went to their first demolition derby. Kanyon liked watching a water fight.

Today:
1. Kala skipped church because the boys all went to bed late and Micah's face was completely swollen from mosquito bites.
2. Josh helped his dad work on the Swather.
3. Ammon, Jonah, Micah all drove 4-wheelers this evening. Kanyon took a long nap during the day.

Tomorrow:
1. Kala will be doing laundry, chauffering the kids, making breakfast lunch and dinner, and checking her email a couple of times.
2. Josh will go to work at 5 am, come home in the afternoon, cut hay with the swather for several hours, and change sprinkler pipe in the evening.
3. Ammon will start his second round of swimming lessons for the summer. Jonah and Micah's chore is vacuuming the living room. Kanyon will be happy when dad comes home from work.

In the next year:
1. Kala will be the elementary school's PTO President.
2. Josh will serve his first year of a 3 year term on the School Board.
3. Ammon will start playing in state jr. golf tournaments. Jonah and Micah will be working on another year of preschool since they have September birthdays and can't start Kindergarten just yet. Kanyon will be speaking in sentences (well, we hope he will at least start using more words!)

TAG: D'Neill, Emily H., and Heather C.
