First Hair Cut

After a meal of peas (which you can see on his face) we decided it was time to give Isaac a haircut. The poor kid was sporting a mini mullet and hair was covering his ears. It didn't go quite as we planned. Isaac didn't enjoy it at all and wouldn't hold his head still. The sound of the little buzzer freaked him out and he kept looking around for it. So needless to say Isaac has about half a hair cut and a really uneven mullet now. Poor kid...good thing hair grows back.

Are We Having Fun Yet!?!

So all day today we talked about coloring easter eggs. I thought it would be so fun with Natali. Isaac was down for a nap, Natali was up from hers, and the timing was perfect. Or so I thought.

In the middle of dying eggs!

"Natali...smile at the camera!" (nice blank stare)
Then I said, "I want to see a happy face." And below is what I got!
Oh the life of a 2 1/2 year old drama queen.


Thanks Nattles for the great memories :)
It's a "stage" right!?!?!?!?!?

Hop Hop


So today we were running errands as a family and one of our stops was to Wal-Mart. To our surprise the Easter Bunny was there. At first I thought Natali was going to just FREAK OUT! A large white bunny in a creepy mask with a pastel vest...freaky! But to our astonishment she loved it. And, you could have your picture taken with the Easter Bunny and get a free 5x7. I thought, why not! So since we don't have a printer with a scanner, a picture of the picture will have to do. Sorry about the flash spot, but you get the idea. Thanks Wal-Mart!

Taggity Tag

I have been tagged by my friend Emily to answer the following questions about my spouse. Here we go into the world of Ben! What else should I be doing at 10 at night while he is studying. Problem cleaning or folding something!

What is his name? Benjamin Lloyd Fluhman

How long have we been married? Four and a half years.

How long did we date? We were friend first and "hung out" for about 4-5 months. Then summer came and I went back to San Diego. We emailed/flirted for the summer. Saw each other twice while I visited family in Park City and later in Idaho. I came back to Provo for school. We officially than dated for 4 months and then got engaged.

How old is he? 28

Who eats more? Ben, unless it is a super nacho from Betos!

Who said I love you first? Ben

Who is taller? Me, but just by a inch. Thus the reason I gave away all my heels and platform shoes when we got married.

Who sings better? Probably Ben...when he isn't singing in his "annoying voice" on purpose to make me mad!

Who is smarter? He is in medical school...but I'm no dummy either!

Who's temper is worse? Me for sure...Ben doesn't have a temper.

Who pays the bills? I pay the bills.

Who does the laundry? I do, but he helps when I need him to.

Who cooks dinner? Me!!! Ben's idea of a gourmet meal would be...mac-n-cheese mixed with a can of chili and a jar of jalapeƱos.

Who drives when together? Ben

Who is more stubborn? Me, but Ben can give me a run for my money at times.

Who's parents do you see the most? Since moving to Iowa we don't see either as much as we would like to.

Who has more friends? Probably me.

Who has more siblings? Ben , middle child of 7

Who wears the pants in the family? what a silly question...Natali, then Me, then Isaac, and then Ben

Who eats more sweets? Let's hope it is Ben since I am the diabetic!

Who mows the lawn? Ben

Who kissed who first?Ben did finally! He was my first kiss.

Who asked who out first? Ben. Our first date when it wasn't in a group hang out setting was up in Park City. It was amazing! We took a ski lift ride up the mountain, ate Mexican food, and talked into all hours of the night!

Who Proposed? Ben. First we went to In & Out, walked on the beach, and then he asked at the San Diego Temple.

What's my favorite thing about him? Everything! He is very patient with me and reminds me of what is really important in life. He still can make me laugh and has made me a mother and wife. (sorry I can't get it to stop bolding the font)

Tag: If you read this...consider your self tagged!

Laughter

There is nothing quite as sweet and pure as a babies laugh. I love it when Natali makes Isaac laugh. It is a definite highlight of motherhood. Tonight she was doing it, but of course once I got the camera out she stopped. So I had to use that lovely "mom/baby" voice and do my best. Here is some footage of Isaac (7 months)!
