26 Years Old!

Last week I turned 26! I know I'm late posting about everything (this whole working full time and still having a life-thing is pretty hard!)

Pretty much it was an awesome birthday! I worked on my actual birthday but it was still way fun to see everyone I work with and "party" it up at work. After all, where else can you just whip up a cake, balloons and party games.....FatCats is an awesome place to work!

For my birthday dinner I asked Scott for something special...and to have it just be the four of us. (I love being with just us) So, we actually roasted marshmallows (the huge campfire ones!)

Although my s'more maker is awesome....the sterno was gone so plan B's candle worked great! Check out Braxton's face...

We had a fun BBQ at my mom's...the boys love playing in her huge backyard.

It's so funny, but because I'm dairy-free all year...I always feel like on my birthday I need to indulge. Although everything you see here still has no dairy, I never buy this stuff...ever. But this year I really wanted to have fun and enjoy the foods I never get....

We also made cotton candy! That's right folks, marshmallows, treats, and cotton candy....what's not to love about Mom's birthday right?

I feel so blessed to have as many amazing people in my life as I do. My mom and dad got me a laptop (you have no idea how much easier my life is now) and my cute in-laws found dairy free oreos to go along with some much needed work clothes, my cute husband got me a new purse and three pairs of adorable heels....and so many people wished me a great day! I hope everyone enjoys their June!

School Snack.....Chicken Rides....

Carter was super excited to bring the school snack for all of his friends. This cute boy signed his name on the calendar (all by himself) and was so excited until his day ....finally....came!

We went to the store and found these awesome barrels of cheese balls. Can anyone guess who picked them out? I promise you, we've never had these in our home before.

But just look at his sweet face....

Priceless!

Braxton has been having so much fun with the growing chickens lately. He takes them out (sometimes all by himself) puts them in his dump truck and "drives" them around. It's really funny because these poor chickens just get low in the truck and hope for the best.

So fun!

Going Private....

Our family blog is going private soon!

I keep feeling like opening up our lives to everyone online isn't the smartest idea ever.

I still want everyone able to read and comment like usual, but only those that really know us. (Those weird "blog stalkers" are a bit creepy)

If you still want to see the lastest in the Morris House, please leave me a comment with your email address so you'll have access anytime.

Food Budget....

Although we are now a 2 income household, Scott and I are still sticking to a strict budget so that we can be in a better financial situation from now on. I've seen too many people have more money for once and just blow it on dumb things. Not us, that's for sure! I've been trying to figure out the best way to still do all of my couponing and fit it in my crazy schedule....well last week this is my progress....

FREE!!!

Winco is my least favorite place to shop, and I had to go to 2 different ones to get these deals...but this is awesome FREE food right? I was not motivated to go shopping on my only day off last week, but the boys and I made it into a treasure hunt. If they found all of our "treasure" aka the free items, then they got to pick out a small treat. It was a lot more fun than I thought!

Demolition Derby....

Carter and I got the opportunity to go to the Weber County Demolition Derby a little while ago. It was a blast! They had a truck session which was really cool. Carter just ate it up! The little guy loved every minute.

I loved being with my little guy! It was fun to hang out with him, eat treats and yell at cars.

He's such a fun little boy!

Anniversary.....

5 years ago, Scott and I said our vows.

Since then it's been a ride...to say the least!

It's a very convenient thing to have an anniversary over a holiday weekend. Memorial Day weekend is always long and relaxing, and we get to celebrate our anniversary then...who wouldn't love that?

Conveniently, over Memorial Day weekend, Thomas the Train comes to Heber. So fun! We have gone every year for the past 4 years now and love it every time. This time was a little different....we stopped and had lunch and the boys got to eat on a TRAIN!!!!

The kids' meals had conductor hats for toys, and Scott was mezmorized by the soda fountain. (Funny, I know. But it was pretty cool)

Thomas did not disappoint this year...

The tattoos are our favorite part!

Braxton enjoyed the ride so much! A cute family next to us took this picture for me, and I'm honestly in LOVE with it! Photoshop, here we come.

Although it's our Anniversary weekend, from day one, Scott and I have made it all about the boys. This is why...

This year was cooler than usual, so it was a shorter trip for us than we usually plan. But nevertheless, it was memorable...and of course the boys loved it! Braxton really understood everything this time. Carter is becoming such a train-riding expert now too!

Scott and I did get to spend some time just the two of us and went to the most amazing Japanese restaurant ever! You actually sit on the floor (there's a hole for your legs so it's still pretty comfy!)

Although I knew the food wasn't going to be the "highlight" for Scott: the service, experience and alone time was just what we needed! I got off of work a little early and Scott did too so that we could go while the boys were at school.

It's amazing to think that we've been a couple for almost 10 years now: 7 years of that living together, 5 years of that being married, 5 years as parents, and we have the most beautiful boys to brighten our day each and every day!
