The Twins!
While we were busy doing this...
Two little angels decided to come into the world.

What perfect timing, since they were born at Utah University hospital in Salt Lake and we were in Salt Lake. :)

Face Plant...
I better post about this event in history. About a week ago Dylan decided to get into his big tonka dump truck and tip it over so that he could slam his face onto the tile floor. Sad day. Poor little guy was crying in pain and his nose started to bleed just a little bit, and it became bruised and swollen. We were worried that he had broken it, but it's so hard to tell with all the swelling. We just decided to wait until the swelling went down to decide whether or not to take him into the doctor. They would've told us to wait and come back anyways. A few doses of Children's Tylenol throughout the week, and some time for the swelling to go down, Dylan's nose looks fine, except for the slight bruising that still lingers. We are so glad it wasn't worse!
At least he was still smiling just hours after it happened....
December
I have been MIA here on the ole blogger. Finals week is this week, and I have been busy with class and my toddler! I just wanted to quickly post some pics and mention a few things we've been up to.
The annual Purser Family Christmas Party was a few days ago and Santa came! Whenever Dylan see's a Santa he says-"HO HO HO", so we would only assume that he would enjoy sitting on his lap....
...and now you can see what assuming gets you....nothin.
He didn't even give Santa a chance. Dylan did get an awesome present though, a speedy little truck! He loves it.
I guess there's nothing else too exciting going on. My brother and his wife are having their twins in the next couple of weeks, and our little family will be heading down to see the lights at temple square this weekend. So after finals, I will be posting more exciting things! I hope everyone's holiday season is full of joy and love!

For the love of a Lawn Mower
I bundled Dylan up in his snow gear and expected some fun in the snow, but he wanted to mow the snow instead....I need to hide this lawn mower, he is officially obsessed with mowing.
We can see the light at the end of the tunnel...
Early this morning Dave signed up for his final college courses! He is planned to graduate this upcoming spring. I am extremely over-joyed and Dave is relieved as well. Although he is planning on getting a Masters, we are just happy that this long overdue Bachelor's Degree is on it's way!
I have also decided to not continue with school this spring semester. Dave will be taking 5 classes and it would be best if I was there to support him and Dylan while he is taking alot of time out of his life to finish school. I do plan on returning next fall, I'm not sure which college, it just depends on our plans of living and a job for Dave. It would be ideal to be near Weber State since they offer what my original plan for schooling was, but I'll just be happy to have a college degree. So depending on which college will depend on which degree I choose.
I actually found this blog post from about 14 months ago, it makes me smile-
"I've been thinking about going to college for a loooooong time now. I think the time has come. It will be good too because we are so poor and have a child, so pell grants are easy to get. I might as well go now when I can go for free! I'm not 100% sure what I want to go into yet, but I figure I can get my generals done at least. And maybe one of those classes will catch my interest!? And I already have 2 college classes covered from when I was in high school. English 1010, and Speech 2600. I also took Math 1050, but my teacher wasn't too great to work with and I got a bad grade. :( Here are some of the degrees I'm interested in...
X-Ray Technician (Only Weber State offers that though.)
-Business
-Psychology
-Interior Design
-Accounting
-FHD
-Journalism
-Communications
-Do you see why I have such a hard time deciding!!
Wish me luck!! "
It's fun to look back at this and know now that I am in college and that alot of these degrees of interest of changed already for me. I guess we'll all be surprised with what I end up doing in the end!
But Awhh. The light is near and we are almost out of the tunnel. Perma-grin. :)

Our Life as of Lately...
This weekend Dave and I left Dylan with my parents and headed down to Draper to see Dave's sister, her husband and their sweet little Addison be sealed as a family, together forever. I have always been a huge supporter of adoption (I have even thought about it myself for my future family) and to actually be apart of an adoption experience in the family has been wonderful! Here is a picture of all of Dave's family who could make it, and sweet little Addie all in white.
They were sealed on Saturday November 5th and Addison was blessed by her dad on Sunday November 6th.
More on my life...
Dave has been gone 5 days a week from 8am until 11:30pm, and I really thought it would be difficult, but in all reality it's nice to have a set schedule with Dylan and be able to get things done the way I like it. That might sound harsh, but it's only truth, and I don't like sugar coating or lying of any sort. Dave has worked most Fridays which used to be our "date night" but now it has turned into mine and Dylan's date night! We usually eat dinner together and rent or watch one of our own movies. We also blast music and dance around the living room for a while. It's fun and great cardio at the same time, ya can't beat that! Here we are on our last date-
I also find this picture super cute of my little "turkeyburger"
I bet you've never seen a burger mowing the lawn before....

End of the Year is Near
I decided that before it gets too crazy with the Holidays coming up I should do a self-check-in with my New Year Goals I wrote down in January.
#1: Make new friends, and spend more time with good friends.
**I definitely tried harder to keep in contact with some of my besties this past year and I have a few that have helped me through some really difficult times (you know who you are!) and I never realized how much I really needed friends in my life. I'm totally ok with just being alone, but I realized that I needed friends for encouragement and girl time! I also made a few new friends in my ward, and I even hosted a girls night at my place a couple of months ago that turned out to be a really good time! #1 was a success!
#2: Take better care of me. Eating healthier and exercising more frequently. **I have also been doing really good at watching what I eat and taking time out of my mommy schedule to take care of myself by exercising a couple times a week. I have lost around 20 lbs. since January, with no complaints and I can now wear more of my clothes that have been sitting and waiting for me. :) #2 was a success!
#3: Work on exercising my mind and gaining more knowledge of the gospel.
**I must say that this one I have slacked on, except for now that I'm in school my mind is exercised everyday with class and studies. I have also been soaking in some Ensign & Scripture reading, I was finally given a visiting teaching assignment, and I am hoping to listen to the lessons in church now that Dylan is officially in nursery! :) #3 Semi-success!
#4: Return to one of my loves- Music.
** This one was a hard one since I have literally no time on my hands. I have plucked around on a guitar, I still haven't gone to a choir practice, but hope to in a couple of Sundays. I did however try out a couple of different dance classes and I sing to my favorite music more often. Dylan has a love for music as well, so he keeps me dancing everyday. :) #4 a wee-bit of success!
Overall, I feel pretty good with this year's goals and hope to continue with them next year, and hopefully add a few more to my list!
