mustache.. moustache?

sean was supposed to have school until 9 tonight. we talked about not doing anything at all tonight. we have both been sick and he is so busy with school right now that we thought we would just celebrate a little extra for our anniversary next month. i was totally fine with that. i still wanted to do something nice for him besides give him heart shaped junior mints. he said we didn't need to do gifts or anything. but he gave me the greatest gift i ever could have imagined today. he texted me a memory of us every single hour today while at work. i wasn't even expecting it and i was confused at first but then i kept getting these texts full of memories that i didn't think he remembered. it was honestly sweeter than anything gift he could have given me. it was exactly what i needed.

i wanted to do something for him, so i planned to clean the entire house before he got home. he kept saying how he wanted to get it spotless for me before i get my tonsils out. since apparently i am incompetent. haha. he really doesn't have any free time before then though. he is so swamped with school and work. this is his hardest semester yet. it depresses me but i know it will be worth it. anyway, i got most of the house clean after work and wanted to do a little photo shoot with moses and give sean a valentine with these pictures. i also wanted to go pick up a heart shaped pizza from papa murphy's because i found a coupon for a great deal. and i like pizza. sean likes pizza. and it was shaped like a heart! it also came with a free smore dessert pizza. mmmmm...

sean ended up getting home before i could get all this done because his class got out early. i still did the little photo shoot that went terribly as you can tell. moses couldn't grasp the concept of being a model. he just ended up eating the mustache. all the pictures are blurry and i decided to play around and change the exposure which i don't know if i like. oh well... he is still adorable. i also did end up getting the pizza. sean did homework while we ate it and is still doing homework now. poor guy. he feels so bad. but i don't even care. he already gave me the greatest gift. it honestly made my day. i know that is cheesy but who cares. if i can't be cheesy on valentines day then when can i? i had to write this down because if my kids ever read this someday i want them to know how amazing their daddy is. i love him so much.

oh p.s. my sister maddie is offering 15% off photoshoots if you book with her this week! you don't have to take them this week... just schedule the shoot! check it out here!

christmas through pictures.

let's just say it's been a great christmas. we are both worn out. which means it was good right? going back and forth all over the place is exhausting. but totally worth it. i wish i could have gotten pictures from all the parties that we went to but i forgot. we feel so blessed and my only wish is that i had the rest of the week off like sean. too bad my job is always the busiest during the last week of the month. i'll just let these pictures and the words on them do the talking for now. p.s. sorry some of the picture quality isn't the best. indoor at night = not ideal for pictures. 

sean got his boots and waders so he is one happy camper. haha.. no pun intended but it is now. i should have gotten a picture of him trying those on. it was hilarious. i promise one day i will get one! i hope you all had some very happy holidays! we had our last family party tonight up in salt lake at david's kitchen. it was delicious! i have a huge, busy week at work this week so i better get to bed!

parades and such.

for the 4th of july we always head to Torrey, UT where my grandma and grandpa live. it's the cutest small little town and around the 4th they host the annual Apple Days parade. it is so much fun! there are tons of dogs in the town so they decided to throw out home made dog treats to all the puppies along with all the candy for me the kids. okay, i can't lie, i brought a bag specifically for the candy. i don't care if you judge!

we took mosey on some four wheeling rides. he loved it. sean and him are so cute together. mosey got sick while we were in torrey. he threw up and slept for mose of the day on saturday. we felt bad for the poor little guy. he ended up feeling much better the next day though and we were able to get in a fun game on dominoes before we went home. thanks grandma and grandpa for having us!

on monday we decided to go to the parade in provo. we went with sean's sister amanda and two of her cute little kiddos! aren't they adorable! while there were a lot of neat floats in the huge provo parade, i kind of thought that torrey's was better! i love small towns! i know this post is a little late, but this week has been a little hectic.... i am going to do another post after this about mosey's experience after getting neutered. poor guy!

may 5th.

   
   

i honestly don't know how to properly spell cinco de mayo. is that right? i am sure i could look it up but i am actually that lazy. sean will probably kill me for saying that since he speaks spanish but oh well. to me it is just the 5th of may. and we celebrated that. sean and i went out and ate steaks. i know, we are so festive right? not because we don't love mexican food. but because we had a gift certificate to ruby river. but the others went and got mexican food, and we all met up and went bowling. with moustaches and sombrero's. it was pretty sweet. all games were a dollar so that was even better.

i didn't get a picture of myself with my moustache on, because it was so cool that i just felt it shouldn't be publicly displayed. sean cringed at me in horror because i looked like hitler. and then i put it on my eyebrows and looked like my name should be helga. actually he probably cringed because i said this is what i would look like if it weren't for wax. and he should be grateful to the person that thought of actually putting it on their face and pulling off hair. ah, can you imagine being the first person to try that? it's like "hey, hey man, let me try something on you... i promise it won't hurt." WTF. but anyway. don't you love my friend zach's shirt?

mosey was a little stinker yesterday. have you ever seen the movie bolt? i am convinced that moses thinks he is a superdog. yes, i really feel this way. mosey will be chewing on a dog treat. and it will break into pieces. of course. well he just does not like that. he gets upset at his treat for breaking. and then he will growl at it. then he will try to pick it up and it will drop and he will pounce back, pause, and then plan his attack on the treat. now this is cute and all, but not when your neighbor and his 2 year old son are walking down the street and want to come pet the superdog. he is convinced that they are a mortal enemy. and he must defend all of the flowers and grass from those who cross our lawn. because heaven forbid anyone step on the dandelions that he was planning to eat in 5 minutes.

yes. mosey bit and sratched a 2 year old little boy. not way bad. but he is still in the bitey, chewy, i wanna rip your face of phase. i am trying to pretend that it is endearing and cute. but i had to get mad at him for that. but then he unleashed on me like i was backing up the mortal enemies and he must take me down too. so alas, i am injured. and mosey was escorted into his prison and whined for the rest of the night. i brought the neighbor and his son some ice cream, to try to make ammends. i think they are okay. as for mosey? i think he planned his escape all night. he truly believes that if he scratches hard enough that he can dig through the plastic bottom in his crate.  i seriously wish that i knew what goes on inside that puppies head.

later that night we were on the lawn because he was trying to go to the bathroom. things were fine and dandy. i looked down at my feet. he saw me look. i wiggled my toes. he froze. then pounced back. then did a full 180. and was backwards from me. i told him to sit. he did. not facing me. (i guess we still need to work on the part where when we tell him to sit, he will actually turn and face us) then all fours came up off the ground and he turned back around and lunged at my toes. because they are bad. and he is just trying to save the world. because he thinks he is superdog. i just wish i could convince him that i am supergirl and he is my sidekick. in time i suppose. in time.

oh, p.s. remember that one time i told about the story when i had herpes on my face and had to go get my prescription? and i guess i should just call it a cold sore. but gosh dangit i have facial herpes and i want everyone to know that it is okay to admit it. you should not be ashamed. but anyway, remember how it was really embarrassing and awkward? you should read the story if you don't remember. anyway, so i gave my brother my left over pills because turns out he has herpes too. and trust me, he did not get it from me. ewww gross. anyway, i had to call the dr. and refill my prescription and they made me make an appointment to go back in. and so i did. and then they were like "oh what? you have moles on the palms of your hand? that is not good." so they cut a mole. out of my hand. i just wanted you to all know that if you have a mole or freckle on your hand? don't go to the dr. they will freaking cut it off you.
