I had a really great video, but stupid blogger never lets me upload them :(

Happy V-Day Indeed

Valentine's was great this year. Anthony and Liam were up to something, and they were not letting me in on the surprise. It was early, like 7:00am (we were up for hours already...Liam loves to get a jump on the day), and my two boys were sneaking around in Liam's nursery. Anthony kept saying "Don't come in! We're almost done." My cute husband. Finally, he said they were ready. I walked down the hall to see my cute little son holding a silver box from Nordy's (always a good thing), and a bag of Swedish Fish (another good thing).

 Liam thought the box tasted good.

 As well as the candy.

 Then I went into the nursery, and there was a little white t-shirt with Liam's hand prints and foot prints, and a little quote on it asking me to be his valentine. It was Ah-Dorable! It took Anthony over an hour to get it all finished. Liam did not like to sit still and get his prints taken haha But it turned out so cute.

 Look how good he looks in it :) He wore it all that Valentine's Day.

I got Anthony a bunch a goodies. He never buys himself treats. So I sorta spoiled him with his favorites.

I got him some gourmet lollipops. He kindly shared them with Liam haha

 Not like he had a choice! Does it look like Liam was about to let go of that sucker?! Nope.

Hope you all had a lovely V-Day!!

The Big #2

Anthony and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary last month (yes, I am the worst at posting, but better late than never, right?!). We had such a wonderful evening together. My mother-in-law watched the babe, so we had the night to ourselves. We drove up to Salt Lake and ate at a swanky new restaurant called the Copper Onion. I wish I would have taken pictures of the food, but somehow breaking out my camera in the middle of dinner seemed awkward. But the food was divine. I had a lamb, beef, and pork meatloaf and Anthony had a seared duck breast. For dessert we had a snickerdoodle tart with fresh cooked apples on top. It was so good. So. Good. After dinner we went to Abravenel Hall to hear Brian Regan perform. He is a stand up comedian, and is seriously the funniest dude alive. I loved spending time with my sweet hubby, without the baby in tow. But it's funny because we probably thought/talked about Liam like 50 times when we were out on our date. That's what parents do, right? :)

(We really shoud've taken more pics. Next year, maybe!)

We have been busy

Anthony and I have been so focussed on our house lately. It continues to be a slow process. Snail's pace really. But we are trying to be patient. Prior to moving in, we are devoting every weekend to picking out all the finishings, from kitchen appliances, to carpet, to cupboards, to granite, to you name it, we are picking it out. I love that we get to design every detail of our house, but I didn't realize how many details there actually are to consider!

We went appliance shopping at RC Willey a few weekends ago. Liam liked the strollers there :)

And he liked the laundry bins.

The next weekend we went furniture shopping at Costco. I could spend hours and hours at Costco and never get bored.

We are putting granite in our kitchen. We picked out our granite from a slab yard in Salt Lake this weekend. That was an adventure! Sadly I don't have any picures from that outing. All the slabs are so beautiful and unique. It took several visits to different slab yards to find the one I (I mean we wanted. Anthony is a sport I tell ya!). Most of the slab yards are outside, and it was bitter cold this weekend, so we looked at all the granite at lightning speed. If you've never been to a slab yard, you should go. It's really cool.

We went to visit the house and check on the progress a few days ago. Unfortunately the roof was too close to a powerline, so the city placed a "stop work" order on the house until the power line could be retrenched. That took forever to get done. But it got done. And on Monday the house will get all the electrical work and plumbing started. We should be moved in next month. Should be. I hope so!!!

Floor mat fun

Don't you love when you get your child a new toy that you know they will just love? And you are sure that the toy will occupy them for days on end? Well, this toy ain't it! haha but Liam did love to play with them the night we got them.

This last picture is my favorite because he is so concentrated. Darling boy.

We promote good dental hygiene

Liam loves it when Anthony and I brush our teeth. He stares at us while we brush, and it so intrigued by what we are doing. So we bought him his own toothbrush and toothpaste. And let me tell you, he loves it! In one hand he holds his toothpaste. And in the other hand he holds onto his little toothbrush and "brushes" his teeth with us. Granted, he only has two teeth to brush, but those two teeth are very clean!
