Happy Anniversary!!!!

Three years!!! Wahoo! well it has been a blast. Michael asked me tonight what my favorite part of being married to him was and when I thought about it I decided that it has been being married to my best friend who is ALWAYS making me laugh. He is this wonderful, spiritual and serious man to the whole world, but when he is with me he becomes this wonderfully hilarious man who's whole purpose in life is to make me happy. Who wouldn't be happy in a marriage like that?? Anyway in true Laurie fashion I decided to celebrate our Anniversary over DAYS rather then just take one day.

Last Friday Michael and I left our kids with my brother Sam and went out to eat at Guadalahara, a nice Mexican restuaraunt which in my opinion totally tops Casa Ole, walked around the mall and came home to watch the show Bedtime Stories (which is hilarious) It was fun and relaxing and definently a great break.

dad blasted light! Oh well :)

This picture is a little blurry-Yeah I am not a great photographer :)

Sunday we didn't do much besides church, but Hyrum is such a stud that I wanted to show him off :)

And Monday Michael didn't have to work thanks to Memorial day so we decided the other best way to celebrate starting our family 3 years ago would be to take the whole family out. We went to a Park for a picnic and lots of playing. I think Michael Dunn loved the picnic because we let him have chips and cookies while He ignored all the HEALTHY things I packed (But then again so did I :)








Love Love Love my family.

I am not so good at blogging these days. Its not like things aren't happening-I mean I meant to blog about Hyrum taking on his first ant pile and letting the suckers feast on his toes or Blog about the sweetness of MD pulling me to his bed every night, grabbing me by the neck and ordering me to lay down so he can cuddle with me. This is important stuff! Well it is to me anyway :) It's just I get on my blog and then realize that I can't stand trying to blog with two kids yanking on my arms and yelling for my attention. But I do have some free time now. It is 8:30 in the morning and MD is still asleep because he tried to pull an all nighter yesterday but lost around 5:30 and Hyrum isn't AS demanding as his elder brother.

The other day I was having a pretty rough morning. Most of the time I can handle the constant whining, griping and demanding sounds that are coming from my childrens mouths, I have even learned to tune most of it out, but for some reason the other morning everything was a personal insult and my feelings were hurt. To make it worse they didn't want anything I was trying to do to make them happier. Finally when Michael came home frm work I ran away-to my mothers house and helped my sister with her invitations. I came back to a happy home. Michael was reading to the boys and they were laughing and having a grand ol time. They had both had a pop-tart and Michael decided after he was done reading he was going to build them a fort in our living room. The kids had SO much fun and it once again reaffirmed that Michael should babysit the kids more often :) Actually it reaffirmed that my kids moods and actions mirror my own, and when I am a grump so are they.

Some of my favorite relationships to watch are the ones between my children and their grandparents. MD spent a whole morning a few days ago following his Poopah around while Poopah worked in his garden. He came home happy and exhausted which is one of my favorite combinations for MD since it means NAP TIME! I am so grateful for my parents for givng their grandchildren wonderful experiances.

A good day

You know its going to be a good day when you wake up to your 2 year old laying next to you holding your hand and singing in your ear.

Big pants to fill!

Hyrum found his daddy's shorts the other day and decided to try them on :)


These are the pants Michael wears to work....Michael had taken them off when he had gotten home and put them into the laundry basket where Hyrum found them.
