My Sweetie!

I got Tagged! I have actually been tagged quite a few times but have never done them(sorry to the people who tagged me). This time Emily tagged me and she has known me way too long and knows too many juicy secrets that i have to do this one. She also knows where i live and i am scared that her little posse might be egging my house if don't. :) Here we go...

1. What is his name? Luke Sherrill Lund ( he will kill me if he finds out that i did his whole name). The middle name is his mom's maiden name. I am glad that he has it and i know as he gets older he likes more and more.

2. How long have you been married? This November 23rd it will be 6 years. I can't believe it's been that long.

3. How long did you date? We met in May got officially engaged in July and the got married in November, so about 6 months. Typical mormon thing.....

4. Who eats more sweets? Luke. Before i got pregnant with #1 i wasn't into sweets but he has turned me into the dark side. When i make cookies he eats so many. He will tell me that he feels sick and i ask how many he ate. He says " Well maybe 15". And he wonders why he feels like poo.

5. Who said I love you first? Luke, we were saying goodnight at the doorstep.

6. Who is taller? Well let's see..... Of course Luke is. He's got me by almost a foot.

7. Who can sing better? This is a hard one because Luke really can sing. He is pretty good, especially when he puts his hand over one ear pretends he is Justin Timberlake singing "Cry me a River". I am going to say i am a little better just because i can read music better than he can. One day i am going to get him to sing with me. He actually promised my mom we would sing at her funeral.

8. Who is smarter? When we first got married he "thought" he was the smarter one. 3 kids later he is realizing that i am a pretty smart cookie(yes i just cookie, gay)

9. Who does the laundry? I do everything but fold. I fold once in a while but i have to admit he does it about 90% of the time. He hasn't complained yet.

10. Who pays the bills? I do, the first 2 years of marriage he did then he wanted me to see how much i was spending so he put me in charge of it.

11. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do. i slept on his side one time and it felt weird and wrong.

12. Who cooks dinner? When we were dating he went on and on about how good he was at cooking. I was so glad to have found someone who can cook me dinner. Yea i think that was a lie to get me to marry him. He does make a mean quesadilla though.

13. Who drives? around town Luke does but when we travel out of state i do. I like driving and that way he has to deal with the crazy kids. Also i get carsick.

14. Who is more stubborn? We are both pretty equal. The first 6 months of marriage was pretty crazy because we both wanted things "our" way.

15. Who kissed who first? I am pretty sure he did. We had waited a whole 3 days to kiss each other(which is pretty good for both of us).

16. Who asked who out first? We just hung out first and then after a week he asked me out on a date. That's when he told me he wanted to marry me.(yes we are crazy!)

17. Who proposed? Luke did. It was so perfect and i wouldn't change anything about it.

18. Who wears the pants? We both do. We trust each other to make the right decisions. I think that's why we work so well together. I don't have to answer to him and he doesn't have to answer to me. We are a team(again another cheesy line).

8 Months Today!!

My little Parker is 8 months today. I can't believe it. He is growing up so fast and doing things so quickly. I think he just wants to keep up with his older siblings. I wanted to get him dressed all cute and do a little photoshoot with my new camera. But we ended up at the Dr's because he has double ear infections. Here are some recent shots of him. He has CRAZY hair. The other 2 kids didn't have any hair at 8 months and if they did it wasn't this blonde. He is definitely his Dad's son.

He was so excited that he can stand by the tub and watch his brother and sister take a bath.

He loves to play peek-abo in his crib.

Ladies Man

This weekend was a fun one for Nicholas. He went to a Rebels game with his Dad and Grandpa. He loves basketball. Before the game they had a bunch of games for the kids and Luke thought it would be funny for Nicholas to get a picture with all the cheerleaders. As you can see Nicholas was a bit shy. We all know he didn't get that from me. If you ask me i think Luke just wanted a picture with them and used Nicholas as an excuse. :)

My two handsome boys!

What was i thinking??

I have been promising the kids we could finger paint for a long time. The problem is, everytime they wanted to do it i had just scrubbed my kitchen floors. I finally gave in yesterday. I bought some washable paint and let them go at it. They had so much fun. Everytime they put it on their body or somewhere it shouldn't be i would cringe just hoping that the paint really was washable. They had so much fun and this will definitely be a new thing we will be doing at our house. I promise you my kids did have clothes on but i thought it would be better if they were stripped down to the undies.

Kids Say the Darndest Things!!

First i have to start off with a picture of my kids because they are just too cute. Whenever i am feeling tired and drained all i have to do is look at pictures like these and it brings a smile on my face.

I started thinking about all the funny things kids say. Where do they come up with all of it? Here are a few things that Nicholas says that just make me laugh:

1. He loves to tell me that him, Parker, and Luke are Handsome and not pretty, but Sammy and Mommy are pretty.

2. We were driving in the car one day and he asked where Dad was. I told him he was at work and he asked why. I tried to explain to him that he works to make money for all of us. Then he says in a very excited voice "oh so we can go to Chuck e Cheese!"

3. I was putting Nicholas down for a nap the other day and our loud teenage neighbor was reving his motorcycle engine(he always does this right around naptime). Nicholas tells me he is scared. I tell him he is safe in the house and he says "Mom let's say a prayer to be safe".

4. This just happened today and it made laugh so hard. I was getting ready for the day and Nicholas comes up to me and asked me where papa and mama Lund are. I tell him that they are in Utah. He then says "Oh papa and mama Lund are my friends". Well Sammy didn't like that at all and she started saying "my friend!" Nicholas didn't like that she said that. For about a minute they are arguing who is friends with Mama and papa Lund.

5. When Nicholas wants me to hold him he says "mom i hold you "

That's about all i can remember. I hope you got some laughs out of these.

Evening of Fun!

I feel i am very lucky to still be great friends with the people i hung out with in high school. There were quite a few of us and people called us BBH. Most people don't like to look back at the high school days but i do. We had so much fun. We were such a close knit group and i will never forget the fun times we had. We did some stupid things but hey isn't that what makes us stronger today?? My friends took me out for a belated birthday. Since my birthday is right around the holidays it was way too hectic to do anything. They took me to Outback and got me a gift card to Target. Thanks Girlies!! I love you all(we missed you Alicia)!! You are a great group of friends and i am so glad we have stayed that way!

A first for everything!

Well this week was a sad but happy week in the Lund home. Nicholas had his first day of sunbeams( i attempted to get a picture that day but it didn't workout) on Sunday, and he had his first day of preschool on Tuesday. I can't believe my little boy is old enough to do these things. We have 9 o'clock church, which we are so excited about. We used to have 2 o'clock and it was a not a fun day. Anyways Nicholas was hesitant but he ended up loving it. It doesn't help that i am in primary. He sees me and wants to come sit by me.



Now onto to preschool. The picture below was taken on his first day. Notice the thumbs up. It's his favorite thing to do. I don't think he quite understands that he will be doing this 2 days a week for LONG time( YES!!!). I told him he gets to go 2 days a week and he tried compromising by saying "no mom how about 1 day". Now when Sammy sees him go into school she throws a complete fit and i am stuck carrying 2 kids out. One which weighs about 25 lbs(in his car seat) and another one who weighs about 30 lbs kicking and screaming. I'm sure it's quite a funny sight. Only 1 more year until Sammy goes!
