6 years Baby!

Update!

It seems as though I continue to be behind on my blogging, but my time seems to be spent so many places at this time! Such as life! Here is my attempt to get caught up! Last week was our 5 year anniversary!!! It was fun to hit a milestone in our lives with Dave graduating and having our 5 year wedding anniversary. We celebrated by going to dinner at Red Lobster (after attempting Mcgrath's, but it apparently has been out of business for quite some time?). Then we went shopping and just enjoyed being together. Oh yeah we then watched a movie! Dave was wonderful and gave me these beautiful roses! I gave him a scrapbook (that still needs to be printed) of our Costa Rica trip! That was fun to do to reminisce about the wonderful trip we had together!

Happy Mothers Day!
Dave made me breakfast in bed, but one of the best things was sleeping in (which hardly ever happens), I was in Heaven! It was a nice day spent with my family and I also enjoyed going to Sunday school and Relief Society and being uplifted by the messages (cause the men went into the primary to relieve the women).

With the onset of summer upon us we have been starting our summer projects! Dave has been painting our different doors in our house so that they match the base boards and not the tan walls :)! Jonathan is Daddy's little helper, he was just so excited to help him and be with Daddy! Jonathan is in a great stage of life, just interested in everything around him. I have a funny little story that I need to explain a little bit. Since I am a nurse, I feel that it is important to explain to my children the real names of body parts and not nickname them. Well, I was going the bathroom, and it of course never fails one of my children come in;- it is Jonathan and this is the conversation

Jonathan : Whatya doin'?
Me: Going the bathroom.

Jonathan: Why? (he comes closer)

Me: Because I have to go pee.

Jonathan: Why? (he comes even closer)

Me: Because that is a normal thing that people do.

Jonathan: Oh, Mommy where is your penis?

Mommy: Only boys have a penis and girls have a vagina
Jonathan: Oh (and walks out)

I couldn't believe it, just made me laugh. But, I couldn't laugh in front of Jonathan so I went out where Dave was painting and told him the story and we just laughed!

Jonathan is just so interested in life and people! He loves to play at the neighbors and talk to them through the fence! Jonathan is SO excited about going to the beach and going to Disneyland now!

Dave is busy working full time now as a marketer at Costco, we both love the company. He also is working on the different projects I have for him. Along with applying for teaching jobs, which could be a full time job in itself. The applications are very tedious and time consuming. He also has been starting up working out, which everyone in the house benefits from :)

Oh my Sarah! I just love this picture it is just a classic picture of Sarah after a nap! NAKED! Paired with shoes! Sarah sure keeps us on our toes! She HATES a wet diaper and always has! I don't know if she is ready to potty train just yet, but I think after my trip to DC and to Nicki's reception we will attempt. I know it is a process at least in this house. She is very strong willed and I hear "ME, Me" repeated over and over again when she wants to do something that I want to do for her, which is frequent. I am trying to let her choose more and do things for herself. But when she gets upset or doesn't like something she gives raspberries very upset like, which I don't like one bit. However, Sarah has become my little helper and loves to help me clean the mirrors or help put things away for me! She really enjoys having me all to herself when Jonathan's at preschool once a week (the other day Papa, takes him). This past week we were going home and she kept saying "Papa". I asked her if she wanted to go over to Papa's and she said "uh huh." She loves getting loves from Papa, while I practice! Sarah loves to be sang to at bedtime by me. I think that Sarah has the hardest time when I am at work (has always been so), well one night I layed next to her in her crib and sang to her cause she was having a hard time. She just LOVED it because ever since she gets right into bed at bedtime and points at me and then the pillow. She now will say certain words with the song. I have to say I enjoy this one on one time with Sarah that we can just enjoy this time together! (I'll try to get live footage of the above mentioned bedtime ritual soon.)

Celebration

It was a GREAT evening together! We went to Carrabbas, we loved it! The food was wonderful, we were stuffed! Our waitress surprised us with a dessert and that just pushed us over the top! IT was fun to talk and think about the past year and what is to come! It was very enjoyable and relaxing. Then we went over to Mall to walk off a little of what we had and got Dave a new cologne. Then we headed to the nickle arcade and that was a lot of fun! I think one of the highlights of the night was watching some of our wedding video. IT was fun to listen to us talk about how we met and how Dave proposed! It is wonderful to hear those things that we felt so long ago! It think that was one of the best investments that we did for our wedding! I love you sweety, and look forward to many more wonderful years to come!

Four Great Years!

Today is our Anniversary! I unfortunately had to work, but we figured that we could celebrate on Thursday (it all works out). Dave was so sweet this morning and totally made my Day! So I was getting ready and then I heard Dave's alarm go off. I asked him what he was doing, he gave me a smile and told me that he wanted to be the first to wish me a Happy Anniversary! It was so sweet and thoughtful (for Dave this was a big thing because he has such a hard time getting out of bed in the morning). He asked me if I wanted some breakfast, but I told him that I don't eat till later because it way too early to eat. However, I didn't make my lunch and so he was so willing to make it. It totally made my day already and it was only 5:45 am. Then around 7 am I was hungry so I pulled something out of my bag, and Dave had wrote me a cute little note to me and what he wanted to work on the next year! IT was so sweet! Later around noon he came with the kids to see me!!! I miss seeing them at lunch, it was so refreshing and fun to see them. Jonathan ran to me and saying Momma Momma. It was a great break from the Dave!
It has wonderful growing together and loving a each other, and building a family together for eternity! I love you sweety, you make me so happy!

My thoughts!

So I was thinking how much Dave has grown and changed for the better since we have had children. Yesterday I had to work, so that means that gets to get the kids ready and go to church by himself, which I can attest that it is not an easy task. But, yesterday I got a call from Dave at 6:30 am to tell me about what just happen with Jonathan and a diaper mishap. How he had to change his clothes and diaper cause he had pee all over and that he was freezing cause he was all wet (besides that fact that he doesn't have any body fat). He was just informing me not complaining! Then we had a family get together and we were supposed to bring a dessert. Dave usually just makes the Brownies from box. But, he had told me when he brought Sarah to feed that he was going to make lemon bars. I can say that I was a little nervous. But, when I got home from work that was the first thing that I tried and they were great. I was very proud of Dave and I know he was proud of himself! I can see that I have changed also for the better also! I know that Dave is trying to be the husband and father with everything that he has on his plate! I love you Dave!
