LIttle helpers

This past weekend we did some spring cleaning. I promised the kids that we would wash my car. They loved it and thought they were so big. Of course they just kept washing the same spot but hey at least they helped a little. It was the perfect temperature to be outside.

This is the result of me letting a 3 yr old and 2 yr old handle a hose.

Happy Belated Easter

So i feel like a bad mom. I really didn't take a whole lot of pictures. I think it's because Nicholas woke us up at %:30 because he was so excited that the Easter Bunny came. We made him come back into bed and wait until 6:30. We had to get up the other 2 and when we walked out Nicholas was disappointed that there weren't a lot of presents. He was thinking the Easter Bunny was just like Santa Claus. We explained to him that the Easter Bunny brought him one small toy and then hid the eggs. After he saw his Transformer we was happy. Since i was so tired from him waking me up at 5:30 I didn't have my camera ready and when i did i didn't get any good shots. So i thought i would just post pictures of the kids pretending like they are Easter Bunnies. It's close enough right? I hope you all had a fun Easter. Oh one more thing! When we got home from church i asked Nicholas if he knew why we celebrated Easter. He went on to tell me that bad people hurt Jesus and he died, then he came back to life and has marks on his hands. It was so cute and kind of emotional to hear my little 3 year old tell me this story. I hope you all had a fun Easter!!

Why?

Why is it that every kid loves spaghetti? Don't get me wrong i like it to but at least i can keep it all in my mouth and not have to take a shower after eating it. See i have this love/hate relationship with spaghetti. I love it because it is one of the couple meals that my kids will devour in minutes. I also hate it because i have to strip them down before we eat. If i don't then their clothes get all stained. Also i have to immediately take them to the shower so they don't put red hand prints all over my walls. Luckily Nicholas is old enough that i don't have these problems, Sammy is getting there and well Parker is a complete mess. Some of you might be wondering why i am dedicating a whole post about spaghetti. I'll show you why:


This was 2ND time eating spaghetti and he absolutely loves it. You should have seen him shoving it in his face. He was acting like i hadn't fed him all day. I have a feeling he will be sneezing out little pieces of ground beef in the next couple days.

A day with the Grandparents

Last week Luke's parents came from Alpine to see the kids. We told Nicholas they were coming a couple weeks ago. For about 3 weeks he would ask when they are coming. We kept telling him "5 more sleeps, 4 more sleeps, etc..." When the day finally came he was so excited. The kids had so much fun with them. The first day they were here we went to Chuck E Cheese. Then the 2nd day we went to Sunset Park and fed the ducks. There were so many ducks and the kids had so fun showing off for grandma and grandpa. Sammy got so into feeding the ducks that she scared me. Everytime she threw the bread her body looked like it was going to fall into the nasty nasty water. I told Luke if she falls you are going after her. The whole time we were there Nicholas kept saying "did you step on a duck". Which means did you fart. Thanks daddy for teaching him that. Parker was sleeping through this whole duck feeding thing so i decided to throw some pictures of my little guy in there.

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!
