Wow What a Week!!!!

So last week was quite a fun week for us! I could probably write a LOT but instead I'll try to write little & let the pics tell the story :) (but lets be honest...I'm going to write alot too)


First off it was Mike & I's 4 Year Anniversary last Tuesday! Boy do I love this guy & I love knowing that we have MANY more years to go together & it just keeps getting Better & Better!!! We really have soo much fun together! Anyways, Mike was in charge of our Anniversary this year since I planned Valentine's and he Definately did not disappoint for one moment!! First on Tuesday we went to the temple and did sealings & it was Amazing! The Sealer found out it was our anniversary & he gave us some Great advice just like it was our wedding day & we got to kiss over the Alter!!! Then when we came home Mike gave me 4 roses to represent our 4 years of marriage :) (he started this tradition on our one year anniversary and now its just going to have to live on forever). Then on Friday we did our actually celebrating. Mike took me to Temple Square and we went and watched the Joseph Smith Story at the Joseph Smith building, then he surprised me with a carriage ride around downtown Salt Lake...Then...we went to the Melting Pot and had cheese fondue and a really yummy chocolate fondue for desert - SOO GOOD! THEN...we stayed at the Anniversary Inn in a themed room called Pirate Paradise! It was soo fun! The whole room was like a ship (see pics below). Anyways we had a GREAT Anniversary & Mike did a great job planning everything!! Here are some pics below to help highlight our day (ps all the food pics are for my sis Jennie because apparently she thinks its pretty funny that I take pics of our food and post them. Now I must do it always!! haha)....

Now, lets back up to Wednesday. My brother Steve & his cute little fam came to stay with us for a few days. They were in town for my sis n' laws little sister's graduation & wedding. It was so fun having them stay. It was the first time they had been to our place & it was fun chasing Oakley and Riley around while they attacked Mylo (well maybe Fun isn't the right word to use - lol)!! On Wednesday we went to the Hogle Zoo & it was fun having Riley there because he got soo excited over every animal he saw, but then would be soo anxious to go see the next animal & Oakley was content just hanging out in her stroller. Of course, I have some fun pics to show off our fun for that day as well....

Here are a few more pics of some of our fun while they were here. Kids definately had a little more excitement and adventure to everything you do & hopefully I learned some things too. Thanks Steve & Becca for coming!!!!

Well, you think our fun would be over with but NOPE, after Steve & Becca left, my sis Jennie and her fam headed down from Idaho. They came down to see my brother so of course we got to enjoy some more company at our home :) We had fun & I set up a tent in our living room for my neices to sleep in. So with a tent there has to be smores. So luckily our sweet friends let us borrow there little smore kit that makes it easy to have smores in doors too :) Then there were games and lots of fun. Here are some pics of that as well....

Ok I think we are officially done...well for now that is ;) Stay tuned for more fun to come next week when the Hammonds and Grandma come to visit!!!

Easter Fun


We had a good Easter this year!! We were suppose to go to St. George and enjoy it with my family, but some things came up so we decided to invite Mike's parents to come down & enjoy the holiday with us, instead :) I think it was my First official Easter dinner to make & host (ande of course I went overboard, making sure it looked nice) but it is always nice to have family to spend the Holidays with!! Thanks Mom & Dad Purser for letting me show you up in bowling (well...at least the second game...wink wink) & eating my food & saying it tasted very yummy!!

Here are some more pictures of our Easter Day Fun!! Also the pic of the basket w/ the toy in it is Mike's, but don't worry the Toy was really for Mylo :) And yes, that really is a plastic container holding Mike's parent's Easter. I know totally lame, but I didn't plan very well... :( And yes the Eater bunny brought them a lint brush...again lame, but really they needed one :) haha!
