Some February pictures

Last weekend Shaun and Isaak had a boys night out and went to the Monster Jam! Isaak ate his weight in popcorn and they both had a great time! This month has not been very eventful.... except for a couple of milestones.
1. Isaak learned how to use the potty! He is very good at it and is having fewer and fewer accidents. He even insisted on using the urinals instead of the toilet when he and Shaun were at the Monster Jam. :)
2. We got rid of Lila's binkies. I had to cut them up before throwing them away or else I know I would have been digging in the garbage later trying to find them.
3. We got rid of bottles for both the kids. This one is a little sad for me. Isaak has always loved his bottles, but he's adjusted just fine to having his milk in a sippy instead.

Other than that, February has been filled with trips to feed the ducks at the cove, playing in the sandbox on warmer days and Isaak playing in the snow on the colder ones, Isaak playing with his Montana....... basically we're just excited for Spring to get here so there is more to do...... and for our trip next month to Missouri! I have on nephew going out on a mission the beginning of April and one that just got home on Friday. They both want to take a trip out there, and I'm always wanting to go, so we are all taking a road trip to Angela's to see some church sites, play games, and just relax. We might even take a trip up to Chicago afterwards to see Melissa and Levi's house. We'll see how things go with the kids in the car. :) The rest of these pictures are from this month, so enjoy!

Changing her baby's diaper, so cute!

Counting down the days till Spring!

Our moment of fame

Shaun and I were on the news last night for an interview about baby monitors and privacy. Click on the link to see us!


Beware the baby monitor

Isaak's 3rd Birthday!

Isaak's 3rd Birthday was last week! I can not believe how fast my little baby is growing up! The night of his birthday his two best friends from next door, Montana and Abbie came over to help celebrate, along with Grandpa Ric and Grandma Jo. Here's his Lightning McQueen cake....

And the CrAzY kids....

Lila with Grandpa and Grandma....

For presents he got some Leap Frog videos, an inflatable climbing wall, some building blocks that make a tower, a truck from Abbie and Tana, a memory game and a cute outfit from the Hansen grandparents, a buzz light year and a magnet toy story thing from the Hoard grandparents, and a sonic letter game from the Woodford grandparents! Spoiled rotten!

And here's what the kids did the rest of the night!

On Saturday we tried to go on the Heber Valley Railroad. We drove all the way up there (at record speeds, too because we thought we were going to miss it) only to find out that they had closed for the winter because of mud slides. You can see my disappointed face in this picture.....

But Isaak still had a blast walking all around the trains and climbing on them!

Happy Birthday my sweet boy! I love every moment of being your Mommy!

9 years

Today is our 9 year anniversary!! We're planning on going out for dinner and a movie tonight..... and I've posted pictures of my present! As you know, I started this huge task of painting the whole main level of our home. After it took me three crazy night I finished the living room, then Shaun offered to help me and we worked like crazy right after the kids were in bed till 2 am for 3 nights straight. We decided to leave the piano room for now because we can just close the door and not think about it ( I'll tackle that one in a couple weeks). Thank you, thank you honey for helping me get our house back! No more tape and paper everywhere, no more furniture pulled away from the walls! I've still got to hang up all the pictures, but you get the general idea from these pictures. Love you honey! Happy Anniversary, I'm STONGLY considering keeping you another 9 years!! :)

Paint

Sometimes I am a curse to myself. A couple weeks ago I decided that I'd really like to repaint our piano room..... then I decided I'd like to repaint the living room.... then why not do the entire main level? I was super excited about this project and planned to do it in sections so it wouldn't be too overwhelming. I told Shaun about my plans and he offered to check out prices for hiring someone to do the painting for us. Super sweet! Long story short, we hired someone, he was SUPER unreliable, he taped and put on one coat of paint on some of the trim, then we had to let him go. Now the whole house is a disaster, with tape and paper everywhere, the furniture pulled away from the walls and all the kitchen appliances put away. So my last week has been spent painting after the kids are in bed like a mad woman trying to get this house back in order. Poor Shaun finally volunteered to pitch in even though this is my mess and is helping to make it go a lot faster (plus we get to listen to our book while he helps!) Anyway, we're shooting for getting it done before our anniversary on Wed and Isaak's birthday on Thurs. Wish us luck!

Shaun's Birthday!

Shaun turned 32 this last week! He had a great day, woke up to cherry turnovers for breakfast and got to hit the Jazz game after work. Happy Birthday babe!!

4th annual 25th Birthday!

Yesterday was my Birthday! Shaun got up early and made my favorite breakfast before he left for work. Throughout the day I was flooded with texts and phone calls from friends and family wishing me a Happy Birthday. In the evening I dropped the kids off at my good friend Kirsten's house so I could go to Famous Dave's with my honey. Seriously, that is THE best restaurant ever! Then it was back to our home for cake and then I snuggled up to watch a movie with Shaun. Another year older, and hopefully wiser. 28 was a busy and crazy year that I learned a lot from. Here's to my last year in the twenties!
