Artyom's top 30


In lieu of Artyom's Birthday last weekend I decieded to post his very own top 30. Things you may or may not know about him- but things I know and love. So here goes:

1. He is an amazing Dad
2. I love his singing voice. We love to harmonize in church. His voice carries very well so we often have kids turning around and watching him sing. Its hilarious!
3. Loves the show Kyle XY (a show on ABC Family) he gets excited every week when he knows it is a new episode.
4. Hates broccoli.
5. Will eat ice cream for dinner any time of the week.
6. Was baptized 10 years ago in Russia.
7. Loves our Sofia.
8. He knows people from every country- he is a bit of a social butterfly.
9. Passionate for the NBA- especially for the Jazz at the moment- as they have Andrei Kirelenko.
10. He would literally eat at Olive Garden everyday and never get sick of it.
11. He NEVER forgets to tell me he loves me before hanging up the phone.
12. Gives the best leg/foot rubs...only when I am pregnant. His mom threatened that if he didn't, I would get vericose veins. Neither of us want that!
13. Is a fish in the water. A really good swimmer and ice skater.
14. Watched "DOG-the Bounty Hunter- until it went off the air due to his racially slurred-taped phone call. He even has an autographed book written by the Dog.
15. Is a night owl- I'm a morning person, so it works out.
16. Still gets up at night when Sofia needs some love.
17. Refuses to learn how to drive a stick shift.
18. Has the BEST sense of direction I have ever witnessed.
19. Rarely (aside from the occasional Little Caesar's pizza) does he purchase anything for himself.
20. I have yet to hear him raise his voice when angry or not.
21. Takes our Sofia on a date night with Dad once a week.
22. Eats whatever I put in front of him...except brocolli- see #4.
23. Loves to go on road trips with his family.
24. Does not snore (YES!) except when he has a bad cold.
25. Since moving to America has been to: Hawaii, Turkey, England, Scotland, Puerto Rico and all over the States.
26. Still trying to beat my high score on Chuzzle.
27. Won't wear much color- Black and gray are his sstaples for clothes (red if it is a U of U t-shirt).
28. Hoodies are his favorite thing to wear- and he looks super cute in them!
29. He loves Diet Coke...no ice.
30. Won't have ice in his drinks from the months of October to May.
