So, I made up a little song a couple of nights ago. It goes, "I can't wait till boards are over" and you repeat the line as many times as you like and to any tune you may think is catchy.

My brilliant, handsome, dedicated, hard-working husband is about to take his last final of the semester (tomorrow) and then gets a 13 day break until spring term. Break? Oh, just kidding, 13 days of yikes-I'm-taking-boards-on-April-30th-and-have-lots-to-do-studying. He has studied a lot for it already but still feels like he has a long way to go.

For 2 years Jeremy has pretty much studied every night but Friday and Sunday. And I must admit I am kind of proud of myself for playing the "supportive" wife role this whole time! But last week something snapped and I realized how fun it will be when he doesn't have to study so much & how much I miss my husband in the evenings.

The rumor on the street is 3rd and 4th year you don't have to study so much so I am really excited about maybe having another evening or two! First thing on the list of fun activities together: reading Calvin & Hobbes. Can't wait....

Good luck babe, you'll do awesome!!!!

Handsome & Happy


Nothing clever, cute or witty to say, just some cute pictures of my boys!

Daddy bear time

Aren't they cute??

Thank you my Anonymous Peeps Friend!!!!"You're the BEST"!!! (~Nacho)

The Big 3-1
I am married to a man in his "30's". Doesn't seem quite possible, but I must say 40 is looking younger and younger to me :)
Happy Birthday Babe!!!
Friday we went out to eat at Red Robin and enjoyed a free meal and sundae. Jeremy has wanted to see "I am Legend" so I actually RENTED it from BLOCKBUSTER as a surprise that night. That may not seem like a big deal, but for us that is a huge deal. We hardly even go to the dollar theater anymore, we are the wait until it comes to the library type. As an example, we just watched the 3rd Pirates movie like 3 weeks ago, sad I know.
Anyway, today when Jeremy came home we had the house somewhat decorated and I made a chocolate/strawberry cake and Jeremy was good humored enough to wear the crown I made for him. We also enjoyed some delicious Chinese food-yum!
I just have to say what an amazing man I am married to! He is the most humble, "real", loving, calm, fun, hard-working, handsome person I know. He is the best Daddy in the world and the best husband a girl could want. He spends all the spare time he has with his family and I love him for it! I love life with him!

It seems like half the time when our boys are smiling or laughing or being cute in some way, by the time I get the camera, they have stopped laughing or smiling or doing whatever cute thing they are doing! Luckily, today I caught it :-)

Happy Easter
Despite the snow and cold weather we had a fun Easter weekend. Saturday we hid like 30 something plastic eggs in our basement, with candy and plastic dinosaurs in them, for Hyrum to find. He was very excited about it. We also decorated and dyed 14 hard boiled eggs, and now we just have to figure how we're going to eat 14 hardboiled eggs in the next few days.
Today (Sunday) we showed Hyrum about 12 pictures of Jesus from birth to resurrection and talked about His life and sang songs about Him. It took a little while but Hyrum paid attention pretty well and has talked about how Jesus' body was put in a cave and now he has his body back so hopefully some of it sank in a bit. Hunter, of course, played the part of the smiley, happy baby all weekend.
One sad note, when I went to the store Saturday I couldn't find peeps anywhere-you know those delicious sugar encrusted chicken and bunny shaped marshmallows?? Everyone thinks they're disgusting but somehow I like them. I had a friend in high school that liked them as well and we had a peep stuffing contest one time to see how many peeps we could fit in our mouths. The good ol' days, well, hopefully next year!

2 months, 2 days
Hunter had his 2 month check up today and oh boy he's big (-: The not-so-little-man of ours weighed in at 14 pounds (off the charts) and was 25 inches long (97th percentile) and his head was in the 75th percentile, far from Hyrum's perpetual 10th percentiled head. So, I've decided Hyrum has Jeremy's long, nicely shaped head and Hunter has my big, round head. Sorry Hunt. He had four shots which were not fun but the lil' trooper only cried for 2 minutes and then he was fine. I remember Hyrum wailing for 30+ minutes with his shots, so I was pleasantly surprised. He slept most of the day away and thanks to some Tylenol was his normal cheerful self.
A little update on Hyrum...he has been the most cheerful, sweet, happy little 2 year old boy that I know of the last few days. He has gone running around the house saying "Hyrum happy!", telling me "I love you Mommy" or "Thankums Mommy" or "Good job, Mommy" and saying "Hunter so cute". He has cheefully let me change his diaper and when I suggest taking a nap he beats me to his room. Where is my child?!?! Who knows, maybe the "terrible twos" are over for us! I feel so blessed to have two such happy, healthy little boys!

whatta guy
OK, so Hunter is so cool, last night he slept for SEVEN hours straight!!! And then another 3 hours after I nursed him. He has done 6 hours a couple times but it's usually 4 or 5 hours the first stretch at night. I am really hoping this will be his new thing. Of course Jeremy and I watched a 2 hour movie after he went to bed (Amazing Grace-very, very good) but I still got five hours at once. Whatta, whatta guy. So, last night we all went to Jump City with some friends for their family fun night-pizza, cookies, drinks, balloons, and lots and lots of jumping! Hyrum had tons of fun, despite the fact that he fell flat on his head and got a real nice rug burn on his forehead and nose (-:

Fun week
Jeremy had his spring break last week, the word "spring" being relative. I guess it didn't snow every day, just most days :) We had both sets of our parents in town for Hunter's baby blessing. It was so fun having everyone here in our home and Hyrum was quite ecstatic to have four additional playmates. The blessing was beautiful! The week went by WAY too fast but it was definitely fun while it lasted.
