You think that while I am off track, I would be able to update my blog a bit more often. Luckily, we have been staying busy and having fun. Here are just a few things that we have done or celebrated since mid-January:
* Josh's 3rd birthday!! (included a visit from CA grandparents)
* Our 7th wedding anniversary
* Draper Temple open house
* Josh is now POTTY-TRAINED!!!!!! (not pictured)
*Dan started back at Wells Fargo (downtown)
*decided to move back to Sugar House
* made bird feeders, painted pics for dad, played with playdough, watched movies, fed the geese at Liberty Park...
I love how sneaky Josh looks in this picture, like he's going to spring at the cupcakes at any second. Josh had a birthday celebration with g-ma and g-pa Goates, and got some new pj's and church clothes. He loved spending the night!
We also had granny and g-pa from CA come for the weekend, and again, Josh was spoiled with some fun toys and games. We love their visits.

Since Jack got a puppy-dog cake for his b-day, I tried to make some fishbowl cupcakes for Josh. (he was the one who got to name our 2 fish)
During our grandparents' visit, we took a "trip" to Cabela's. Interesting. But, we did find something for the boys to enjoy for a bit.
Dan and I have 7 amazing years together, so far. Considering our VERY short courtship, I would say that we have grown closer and stronger than others may have thought possible! I was going to post a wedding pic from the beginning, but this one tells much more about who we are all the time: silly and having way too much fun together!!
The boys and I were able to attend the Draper Temple open house with Grandpa Russ. It was a beautiful building, with some incredible art work everywhere. The boys were SO good during the whole hour-long tour.
Happy Valentines Day!
(BTW, this is the yummiest sugar cookie recipe I have ever made/tried)
