For Mikes Birthday we decided to get him an adventure! We took him to an Escape Room. Eric and I had been wanting to do one for a long time, and when Brianna said she wanted too, it was decided. 

I found a place in Redmond that has the escape room where you try to steal the Mona Lisa. You only have 60 minutes to try and complete the 2 rooms. It was SO much fun! We want to go back and do it again, so if anyone wants to join us let me know!

 

Trying to solve the puzzles. 

 Using the book to try and open more puzzles.

 It is an intense room.

 More Puzzle solving.

 Finally made it to room 2!

 We did it!! We stole the Mona Lisa in 44 minutes!

So we got to write on the wall. Just looking at these pictures makes me want to go back!!

I cant believe that my little boy is 3 years old!! He is at such a fun age, he loves to play and learn new things.

Nicknames: Q, Q Baby, Q-ee,
Sleep: You were moved to a big boy bed this year! You love it and are really good about staying in your bed. You still have troubles sleeping through the night, but it seems mostly due to itching your skin. Stupid Eczema.
I Love... LEGOS. Oh man do you love your legos. You also like to watch Super Wings, Mickey Mouse Club House, Cars, Finding Nemo, Toy Story, Paw Patrol. Also you love going to the park and playing with your friends. You are so good with your Audrey and always make sure Dad kisses her goodbye in the morning.

Sleep: We are down to 1 nap a day which is upsetting. I really liked having 2 naps! It was great for working and getting things done around the house. His nap is around 1 pm 2 pm and usually lasts for about 2 - 2.5 hours. He sleeps through the night! Usually he goes to bed at 7:30 pm and wakes up around 8 am. Its fabulous!

I Love...: Cars, Planes, Trains. Anything that moves. He will watch the garbage truck pick up the trash, and is always pointing out all the cars and buses when we are driving. His favorite toys are his trucks and airplanes.  He also loves running. He will run up and down our hallway. He likes to race, so he will yell GO! Then run down the hall. He also LOVES wrestling and tickling other people. Its great that dad and both grandpas are great at wrestling. MCDONALDS! He loves Chicken and walks into McDonald's saying "chicken chicken!"
 
I Hate...: Being told no,
Food: He is still highly allergic to Milk, Beef, Peanuts and Eggs. So a normal food day Oatmeal with Soy Milk Yogurt for breakfast. Ham and Fruit for lunch. Nuggets for Dinner. Snacks can be animal crackers, an Oreo, Juice. He eats Chicken a lot.
 
Other facts: He is great at picking up toys and throwing things away. He will take things to the trash for me and throws his diapers away. Its cute. It seems every day he has learned more and more words. He is usually a great kid, he always wants to play and rarely has to sit on time out. He does run everywhere we go, so you better be wearing running shoes. He loves love loves Nursery. As soon as we get to church he is trying to get there and doesn't even look back when we drop him off. He is also going to be a great cousin and will get Emma anytime Ellie is crying.

This has been a crazy month for us! Q's little hospital escapade totally threw off my sense of days. When we got home it took like 3 days for me to know what day it actually was. Then Eric jumped in to a crazy schedule for school and my work has a Convention at the end of the month that I am going to in Anaheim that has kept me super busy. Thank you to everyone that has been helping us! I dont think we could have kept our sanity if it wasn't for your help. As you can see from the picture he seems to be feeling better!

My Birthday was on April 1st. Yes I know, it is April Fools Day. Yes I have gotten jokes as birthday presents. When I was little I got Toilet Paper. The meanest gift I ever got was a Black Mustang Convertable. I had a note that said it would be here Saturday, I even had the keys!! Sadly the next gift I opened was APRIL FOOLS! It was sad. I almost cried. I have pictures of this awful event, but I couldn't find them on my computer.

This year was SO MUCH BETTER! I was kinda dreading my birthday. Maybe because I have high expectations about what it should be like. I never can tell someone what I want my birthday to be, but it never quite meets expectations. But this year it did! I worked in the morning, then my mom came to our apartment and took me shopping for my present! I have decided this is the BEST way to get birthday presents! We went to stores I usually walk past and think someday I will buy something from there. I tried on clothes and had lunch it was SO fun!! Then I got a fabulous rain jacket from Eric. He always picks great gifts. My mom took Q for the night so Eric and I could go to dinner and have a night to ourselves! We thought of all the nice places we could go, like John Howie, Chandlers, The Met, and decided to go to Liams. A new restraunt in U Village. It was great. We then got Ice Cream and went to the grocery store. Eric's parents got me a gift card to Nordstrom! SO MUCH SHOPPING!  Eric's parents had taken me to lunch in St. George on my birthday while we were in St. George. We went to Sukura's which is a lot like Benihannas. SO good!

Eric's parents also watched Q this last Friday so we could go to the Temple.  We sadly still missed the session because of an accident in Bellevue. We decided to do Sealings, since we have never done those, other then our own. It was a great experience! We then went to this fun restaurant with Eric's parents in Mill Creek called Tablas. We ordered a couple different small plates and shared them then went and got Ice Cream.

We spent the night at their house so Eric and his Dad could go golfing first thing in the morning. It turned out to be a beautiful day so Q just ran and ran!  For Eric I got him a Golf round in Hawaii!! Yay!! Cant wait!!

Great smirk Eric

I leave next Wednesday for California for my companies convention. So this week has been hectic with getting everything ready and making sure I have the right clothes, so shopping. :) Have you caught on that I LOVE SHOPPING?!

Eric and his mom share the same birthday

He is all boy. He loves trucks and sticks and playing in the mud
