Happy Valentines Day

I know I am posting late for Valentines Day, but oh well. We had a good one. Joshua enjoyed a few chocolates. Dallin only got hugs and kisses for Valentines Day. He also enjoyed the beans with my dinner. We had yummy Mexican food. I was glad I didn't have to cook!

Michael made me this homemade card, balloons, and did a balloon bouquet. I thought it was great! It was very creative. We were a little short of funds this month due to a huge bill coming so he did a great job. I appreciate the thriftiness! Some ladies at the bank were giving him a hard time about it. They said he was too cheap. One of the ladies gave him a marriage book to read to give him better ideas for next year. ha ha. I guess you can be your own judge, but I liked it! The Meagers got me really cute blocks that say LOVE on them and brownies. It was so nice. I had a great Valentines Day!

The boys enjoyed playing with the balloons. They have been chasing them around the house. Joshua has been very inquisitive lately. He has been saying "What's this?" then we tell him and he will repeat it. I am hoping it will help improve his vocabulary. He is playing with Dallin more too! It is so cute! This is typical Dallin, with the drool hanging from his chin. I have been saying for months now that he is teething. I think he has actually cut a tooth. This morning I can see a tooth poking through. I hope it continues its way up, and doesn't go back down. He hasn't slept well the past few nights, and it will make me feel better if it is for a tooth. :) It was funny at church on Sunday he was extremely noisy, and was holding a car. The noise he was making sounded like car. My little baby is such a genius! :) I know all of the ladies were impressed. ha ha

Big Boy Underwear

We went to the store today to get Joshua his big boy underwear. He picked our Car themed underwear of course. He demanded that we put them on the second we got home, and he would not let the other two pairs of underwear out of sight. He hauled them all over the house. He is so funny! I wish I could read thoughts sometimes.

I wanted to show everyone how Dallin is scooting around the floor. It is funny and looks like a lot of effort so I am hoping it will turn into a real crawl in the next month or so. He started scooting so early I feel like, but it takes him every where he wants to go. He is just so cute. Here is a little preview of what he does.

I was putting Dallin down for his nap and could hear Joshua making all kinds of noises in the dining room. I went in and found this. He is going to drive bus. I thought it was funny.

Oh so Proud!

Not that this will happen next week, or the week after, but my boys made it through Sacrament meeting on Sunday without toys or snacks! I was so proud. We didn't have to leave once! We also got to go home right after the meetings which was great! Michael found a ride home with someone else. It was a pretty good Sunday!

Plans Falling Through

This weekend I was trying to make plans for Michael and I to go on a date or go to the Temple. Things didn't work out like I wanted them to. He has to work Saturday and then has meetings. This seems to be the pattern for us when we try to make plans, a date, or try to go to the temple. I thought I might share some of our more memorable ones, so next anyone else has plans that fall through you know you are not alone, and you can laugh with us at our past stories.

Our Engagement
When Michael was going to propose his original plan was to drive up to Mesa Falls and hike around then propose. The morning of the big day Michael got a flat tire on his car, so all he had was the donut to drive on. I dropped a drawer on my foot, so it wasn't in the best walking condition. It had also rained and rained so Michael was afraid of getting stuck out there. He finally decided on lunch then the city park. He asked me where I wanted to go for lunch, not knowing that he was going to pop the question that day, I suggested this cheap fast food place that was offering a bag of burgers cheap. All in all we had a romantic bag of burgers and a proposal in the park. :)

Our Honeymoon
Michael planned for us to spend a few days in Jackson Hole and then go to Utah for a few days. He wanted to take me to Lagoon. I love amusement parks. Well, things went well in Jackson, but on our way to Utah I got a painful Migraine. It was a killer. The next day I was feeling better we drove to Lagoon and it was closed! haha Who knew Lagoon closed in the middle of August. :)

Dallin's Birth
I had planned for my sister to come for two weeks, so that she could see the baby. I was told that I would have a C section if it go too close to my due date, since I have large babies. I planned for my Mom to be here for the birth and a week after to help out. Well, it turned out that the OR was booked until July 17, which was ten days after my due date. I went into labor three days before that and all went well, but I had it planned so well I was sure my Mom and Sister were going to see and play with the baby. My Mom had to extend her visit by a week, and it all worked out in the end. :)
