March Happenings!

So March has a couple big things for us! First off, the Mr. has his birthday. This year we went to dinner at Red Robin (as he chooses every year) and then we enjoyed watching him play some basketball for his Monday night team. It was a simple day, but still a celebration. A few days before his birthday, I threw him a little get together with some of our close friends. I didn't really get good pictures of the night, but here are a few.

Our favorite little B

Cousins! T and D

All three of them wanted to get in on it!

If you can tell, I only got pictures of the kids. Who can blame me though. They are so cute! We had a fun time just chatting and eating. We had a yummy nacho bar and then lots of treats. The Mr. got spoiled with some golf stuff and his favorite treats. It was a good night.

The following weekend we celebrated the Mr.'s birthday with my family. It was a lot of fun. We had burgers and fries and some fun family time. It was a good night.

The other big event we have in March is our Anniversary. This year was a little bit bigger since it was our 5 year. We didn't do a lot, but we did have a fun day and night. The Mr. took off on the Thursday to celebrate our Temple Sealing day. We enjoyed this day with the little man. We went and had a relaxed fun day together with a delicious lunch at Winger's. We then rented some movies and enjoyed the night at home. The next day, we were lucky enough to have my wonderful Aunt keep an eye on "T" so me and the Mr. could enjoy a relaxing day. We went and got massages at Utah Valley Massage Therapy and they are AMAZING! We bought our massage off KSL Deals and it was so worth it. It was the Mr.'s first time getting a massage and my 3rd time. We both got pampered. After our massages, we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for some delicious lunch. It was nice cause it was not busy at all and we got to watch some Big 10 basketball. Following lunch we headed up to Traverse Mountain to walk around and look at the stores. We didn't buy anything there, but enjoyed looking. After that we headed downtown to City Creek. We started looking for stuff for us and of course ended up buying all stuff for the little man. (He is pretty loved/spoiled) So after we bought T stuff, we headed over to The Gateway on Trax. Boy is the Gateway different then when I was growing up. I mean I know City Creek has kind of stolen then mall thunder, but boy is Gateway run down. It is actually really sad. Anyways, after we walked around for a little bit, we decided to eat some yummy Tucanos. It was as good as I can remember. I enjoyed every bite of it (and there were a lot of bites haha). Once we were stuffed full, we headed back home. It was nice just going home and relaxing. We watched a few more movies and actually stayed up past 10 o'clock. The next morning we slept in (which doesn't ever happen, but since Grams & Pops were kind enough to watch T overnight, we got to enjoy this). We then headed to Johanna's Kitchen for one AMAZING breakfast. It was so so good. It was such a nice time together and it was nice to celebrate our 5 years. Seriously many thanks to those who took care of our little man so we could enjoy a night with just the two of us. Here are some pictures from the day..

Some of the stuff we got for T

Another fun thing in March was the Clean Air Trax Passes. Trax gave away passes to help people not drive and help with the horrible air quality we have. Well we decided to use our passes for the Front Runner. It was an all day thing, but if you know our little man, you know how much he LOVES Choo Choo's! It was a lot of fun. Here are a bunch of pictures from our adventure of a day.

We have more pictures, but they are all on the Mr.'s phone so these will have to do. It really was a lot of fun. We went all the way to the end of the line, then headed back and got off in Farmington for some shopping and lunch. As we were waiting for the frontrunner to come pick us back up, there was the train going the opposite way that T chased after. He thought it was leaving us and put his hands up and started running towards it saying "Wait Wait Choo Choo, Wait!" It was the cutest thing ever. On the way back home, the little man fell asleep from the long day. Now whenever we go by the station he yells for us to get on the "Choo Choo!" Maybe another day!

As you can tell we had a pretty fun month. This is just some of the bigger highlights, but we also enjoyed birthday parties, play dates, basketball games, family fun, and so much more! We are really blessed with wonderful people in our lives to make all of our fun memories possible. (Now will someone just take us to Disneyland haha)

We love our child

Okay so if you know us well, you know that we love our child. Before I became a mom, I always knew I would love my child, but you don't realize how much you are actually going to love your child until you actually have that child. I was lucky enough to have Tucker for 9 months to myself while he was cooking away which is where I first realized how much I loved this child. Then when he was born, I loved him even more. The Mr. and myself were pillow talking the other night and we were talking about how we love "T" more than anything we ever thought possible besides for each other. Every day I love him more and more, which I couldn't even think would be possible because we love him so much. Well the reason I thought of this post was to be the mom that talks all about her child. So beware that this post will be ALL ABOUT "T."

As I put "T" to bed every night we do the normal night night to everything. The past few nights he has literally been saying night night to everything. He says "Night NIght Choo Choo... Night NIght Toys.... NIght NIght cup... Night Night Woody.... NIght Night Daddy.... Night NIght Mike.... NIght NIght Mommy..." this goes on for about ten minutes or so until he has said night to everything in site and somethings not in site. After we do the night night to everything, "T" then gives kisses to me, the Mr., Mike, Sulley, and then me again. I then start to leave the room and he then says "water" or "Juice." I tell him goodnight and he then says "Toys" "Movie." I proceed to tell him goodnight again. This little thing goes on for a few minutes and then I finally can leave the room. As I leave the room he is silent. Well silent until I close the door and then he starts to gab away to his Mike & Sulley that he sleeps with. He will do this for 45 minutes to an hour. He does this EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. It is the CUTEST thing ever. I love hearing him have his little conversation with his stuffed Mike & Sulley.. I will tell you again, we love our child.

Another thing that puts a smile on our face (and most other peoples faces) is when we are anywhere around people. "T" gets kind of shy, but not shy enough to not say "Hi" to every single person. If the person will not acknowledge his "Hi," he will proceed to continue saying "Hi" until that person says it back. This sometimes may annoy people, but I think it is the cutest thing ever. I mean why wouldn't you say "Hi" to our adorable child.

"T" also loves to "help" clean. Sometimes this can be frustrating to me because I am a little OCD when it comes to cleaning, but then I realize that "T" is just being a nice boy and wanting to help his mommy.. Well since he was a baby I have sang the clean up song to him. (You know, the one from Barney... Clean Up Clean Up, Everybody Everywhere, Clean up Clean up, Everybody do your share.) Well "T" loves to sing this song now. Sometimes when I initially ask him to clean up his stuff he will pretend not to hear me. I then will start singing the clean up song and he thinks it is the best thing ever. He knows the tune to the song and a few of the words so he sings along the best he can. It makes clean up time that much better. The best part of it all is that sometimes he will realize that he has just dumped every single one of his toys on the ground and that he has no more room to play, so he will start singing the tune and will actually put things away. A little boy after his mother's heart.

Well, that is enough "T" stories for tonight, but just as another reminder of how much we love our little guy, I will tell you one more time.... WE LOVE OUR CHILD! Now here are some adorable pictures of him.

This boy LOVES Mickey Mouse

We do have one cute little stud

Valentine's Day Picture

I love the mornings he cuddles with me and plays with daddy's phone

He loves to climb on EVERYTHING

Zoo time

So, T is blessed with an awesome Pop's and Gram's. This month they took the boys to the Zoo. The boys had tons of fun. Here is some of the pictures that were taking of their fun day.
