- I took my stupid acounting final in the morning so my whole day wasn't ruined.
- I got to have lunch with my two favorite boys - and they got Spiderman toys out of the deal.
- Laurel convinced her Papa to take her to the store to buy me a bunch of tulips - pinky purple ones and I just loved them!
- Aaron bought me a copper bowl for my KitchenAid - it's so pretty and I've already used it once.
- Packages arrived from Williams-Sonoma - my new food processor (saved up my MyPoints and Aaron pitched in for the rest) and some good 9X13 pans for cakes.
- Shopping trips courtesy of Mark, Angela and Aunt Annette.
- Dinner at Red Robin with the whole family - I found my new favorite thing there: Buffalo-style Chicken Fingers!
- Cake with the family.
- Movie with Aaron.
- A phone call from my mom just before my test.
- And then we left the next day for the best family vacation I think we've ever had. More details on that as soon as we get the pictures edited (issues with the camera). Needless to say, we *heart* yurts!
- And I almost forgot this one! I also had my 20ish week ultrasound on the 19th and discovered that we will be expecting baby boy #3! Laurel is still the princess! We're very excited about this.

38 Reasons I Love Aaron
This is embarrassingly late and I'm sorry. Aaron's birthday was 3 March and I've been working on this list. Here's my sweetie!
1. He washes dishes for me. By hand. Every day.
2. He is James’ favorite person – this little guy will throw himself off the couch when he sees his Papa come home.
3. He encourages me to pursue my dreams.
4. He loves my baking and tolerates my cooking.
5. He watches girly movies like “Pride and Prejudice” and “Persuasion” and likes them.
6. He folds the clean towels and puts them away.
7. He’s going to take me to Paris someday – and he does not like France one bit.
8. He is the smartest person I know.
9. He is the funniest person I know.
10. He loves our kids as much as I do – and that’s a lot.
11. He lets me eat all the Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream.
12. He’s very handsome.
13. He has the blue-est eyes, and he gave them to two of our kids. Now I know for sure he doesn’t wear contacts.
14. He goes to Tulip Festival with me.
15. He likes camping with us.
16. When he has free time, he wants to spend it with me!
17. He loves to read and learn things.
18. He makes the world’s greatest caramel corn. Yes, the Caramel Corn of the Apocalypse.
19. He can fix anything.
20. He wrastles with all the kids – Will especially – and they love him for it.
21. He tries, so hard, to get the kids dressed in the mornings I’m at school and it gives me a good laugh to see what they are wearing.
22. He puts away the meat I buy in bulk because I don’t like touching it.
23. He has a motorcycle, still.
24. He’s determined and persistent – if he says he will accomplish something, he will.
25. He got me a whole extra-credit point on my French presentation by doing some great Photoshop editing. It was an awesomely funny Power Point slideshow.
26. He cuts Will’s hair with the clippers because I am awful at it.
27. He gave Laurel her nickname so very long ago and I love it. She loves it too.
28. He taught me how to shoot a gun.
29. He is a survivor – seriously, the guy could survive any catastrophe. I’m glad to have him around!
30. He lets me take baths when I’ve had a rough day.
31. He has a wicked, weird, and twisted sense of humor, and I think it’s rubbing off on me. Or I’ve had one all along!
32. He cleans the bathroom because I hate doing it.
33. He can get James to sleep like no one else can.
34. He’s not afraid of anything.
35. He can sew a button, iron his own shirts and make the bed.

New Tricks!
I love it when my kids learn new tricks. This is James' latest - wants to be big and strong like his big brother Will. Aaron and I are just laughing at this - he started it yesterday. Watch closely or you'll miss it. I'm always asking him to show me his muscles now, just so I can giggle.
