Happy Three Years!

 Wow...has it really been that long? Kinda feels like it could be since I can't imagine life without him, but at the same time, three years sounds like a long time! But here we are...three years into our marriage, one kid here and one...not on the way yet :) Mike played a joke on his family though and had his little brother congratulate us on a pregnancy that isn't, but the fam believed it because a missionary wouldn't lie right? :) It was kind of funny, but then again is a Mike thing to do. For our anniversay we went out to eat...and got free dessert! Leave it to Mike to work his magic as usual :) Then we went to Build-a-Bear where Mike made his anniversary gift...a Captain America Bear! :)

So he picked his bear

 

Stuffed his bear

 

And don't worry...he made a wish by putting the heart to his chest before it went inside :)

Fluffed his bear

And dressed his bear. I asked Mike if he were more nervous dressing this bear or Steven for the first time when we brought him home from the hospital :)

 

And then we got to take him home! 

 

Thanks Daddy for putting up with Mommy for the last three years! Sure glad we have you babe! Happy 3 years :)

And Here We Have Idaho!

I love, love, LOVE my family! It was so good to see them all again! We were able to drive up for my brother's wedding and spend time with everyone for about a week and a half and it was so good! Steven loved all the attention and Mike and I loved being with family and strengthening bonds. While up there we were able to go up to Pocatello and see some really good friends from Rexburg.

Jeff Crowther and Mike have always had a good relationship...but maybe too good if they're comfortable enough to wear pantyhose on their head :) Jk...Mike asked many times to make sure Karissa had never worn these before putting them on haha. Its this game where a tennis ball is in the end of a leg and then they swing their heads, twist them and run opposite to try and rip it off the other person's head. It was pretty entertaining to watch :)

 Then Mike ripped one of his legs off on accident and made a new fashion statement!

This is honestly one of the most amazing and fun couple ever! We've been so lucky to have them as friends! We met them our first week in church after getting married, and they had just gotten married too! It was meant to be :) What really sealed the deal was when they passed us a note in Sunday School asking us to check yes or no to coming over for dinner. Like I said...so much fun! :) Not to mention their cute daughter Brooklyn...we just have to stay in contact so Steven can get to know her better ;)

And if you thought Steven wasn't a ladies man, think again! Little Miss Nora Also came to visit and keep her eye on Steven :) Honestly...I have no idea how we got so lucky and fortunate with such good friends. We have really missed Rexburg. Not the city itself, nor the school...but the people there. We met so many good people and are so blessed to have this extended family in our lives :) The old gang got together again for another hoo-rah and hopefully it won't be the last. They came and went at various times, but Saturday was a fun filled day of visits from people we love! Before everyone split we were able to go to dinner with the Tophams, Barnes, and Schenks. Thank you so much you guys for coming to see us! I know that everyone had to make sacrifices to be there, but it was so nice to see and play with you all...even if my husband did wear women's nylons :) (side note: Steven has a stick in his mouth, not a cigar!)

I can't believe I didn't get more pictures while with my family! :( My only excuse is that I was just too busy having fun :) It was a jam packed week full of activities. We went cliff jumping (amazing how fearful I've become after becoming a mom...I'll never make fun of you again sisters!), got together as couples for games, and then twice as just sisters...SO FUN! Like I said before, I love my family. It was so good to see all of you and to welcome Kayla into the family! She is such a dear sweet sister already and I'm so glad it gave me an excuse to come back to Idaho, so thank you for that as well, I know you got married just for me :) Thank you for a fun week Bingham Clan! I already can't wait till next time!

(below is honestly pretty much the only picture I got...the three redheaded boys :)

Dallas Zoo!

 Before we went to Idaho, we were able to have a family outing to the Dallas Zoo! It was a lot of fun and big! Steven loved seeing all the animals and did really well. Mike's sister, Stacie, and her kids, Baby Tyler, Claire, Ellie, and JT were able to come with us as well. How fun! :)

They had a station where we were able to feed the giraffes...fun!!

And this handsome guy was right up next to the window! So cool! 

 Haha...I love these next few pictures of Steven. He does this a lot when we go on walks and stuff and I think its one of the cutest things! Love my boy...especially when he's chillin :)

It was such a fun day! Glad we were able to go and spend it with such great people!
