Preston

Preston LOVES to climb stairs. Recently he's started walking up and he thinks he's so cool!

Cute Hannah

We have tried so hard to get Hannah to laugh...we finally got something out of her! She's such a cutie.

My Selfish Christmas Wish List

First of all, I think this is the coolest thing! It would be on my Christmas list for Preston if I could afford it! I saw it on TV yesterday. It's a little DVD player that's kid tough. I could so use this when I travel to Utah with the kids. Preston would love it because he can press the buttons too!
Anyway, this is what I want this year!!!


We so need a bigger car and I would take either of these in a second!! Yeah, yeah, I know...keep dreaming!
I have also always wanted a personal shopper to help me pick out clothes that look good on my body type and make me all stylish and such. I'm not very good at picking out clothes for myself that are cute and look right on me. I think that would be so cool.
There are lots of things I would put on my selfish list but these are number one!

Honestly.....do they make jeans to fit normal people?

I just have to say I hate jeans! Why don't they make jeans to fit normal people. They are so low cut and they always fall off my bum and I'm sooo sick of it. I have yet to find a good pair of jeans.
Ok, now that I've got that out of my system. I just tried to blog and it wouldn't post!! I had written so much. I hate when that happens!
Our update...
Preston is talking more and more. Just words here and there but more than he ever has. He's always said blankie (ki ki). He's started to say "doggie" (this is probably his favorite word other than daddy) He loves to say "daddy" and of course has never said "mommy" He's said mum mum mum when he wants something...not sure if that's mommy or not. His latest thing is opening the pantry and saying "Uuuuum" like he's trying to decide what he wants to eat. It's pretty funny. He's always bringing us thing out of there.
He folds his arms now everytime he gets in the high chair and just waits for us. He's so cute and entertaining.
At the moment, Hannah is asleep face first in her jumperoo. So funny!

She is cooing and yelling and making cute sounds. She's getting big. I bought her a pair of jeans that were 6-9 months from Target and I have to take them back as they are too small! Boy, I've never had that problem!! Preston's clothes were always too big! Preston still wears 6-9 months tops, he's just moved up to 12 month pants, but they are a littl big around the waist. Hannah can hold toys now and she smiles everytime we look at her. I love that. Her whole face lights up with cuteness!
Brad is still enjoying school. He's tired all the time, but can you blame him? I couldn't do what he does! Lately he comes home smelling like his cadaver. Ew! He came home one day and told me he had to cut the legs off of his cadaver because they were moldy. Sick!
I am just keeping busy with the usual stuff that come with being a mom, trying to keep the kids entertained and all.
I think you can see the resemblance here!

getting caught up...again

I have been pretty busy lately. I've got myself into a few projects that take all the very little free time I get. I've been working on a stocking for Hannah. I made one of those felt kits for Preston's and now I have to make one for her too. I'm not geting very far...it'll be a miracle if I get it done by Christmas. I'm also making a little album of Brad and I. I still haven't finished my wedding album either. So, I've been trying to get some of this stuff done.
Yesterday we went to the Touro playgroup. My friend, Jami and I didn't even find the playgroup until the very end. The kids loved playing. It was a good playground for Preston because they had ramps instead of stairs. They also fed the ducks. Preston had to figure out that the bread was for the ducks and not for him but once he figured it out he had fun. Jami took a few pics.




Hannah is kind of a high maintenance child...she does not like to be put down!! Of course I love her anyway and I do love to hold her. Well, I needed to find something to keep her occupied so I could do the dishes etc. So I remembered we had the jumperoo. I didn't think she was big enough but she really liked it! She's so smiley these days. I just love it. We just love to kiss those chubby cheeks!

Brad's celebrity look alike!

This cracks me up!!! I especially love Ricky Martin!

Tagged!

I got tagged. Here are the rules: Go to the third picture folder on your computer, and find the third picture and post it.
I wasn't exactly sure how to do it because I have folder within folder within folder. So, anyway, this is what I came up with! This is Brad and I at the Kenny Chesney concert! WOO! We love Kenny.
I haven't posted in a long time. Life has gotten
really busy and then we had someone take our computer and clean it up!
I'm back from Utah. We all really missed Brad! Preston was glad to have his Daddy back. He kinda gave him a confused look at first but then it was life as usual. The kids did pretty well on the long drive. They slept a lot of the way back, which was nice. I like driving and thinking when it's quiet.
Anyway, I tag Stacy D., Jaimee C. and Piper.

Utah

Well, here I am in utah. I've been here since last wednesday. It's been a busy week helping my parents, driving them to their appointments and cleaning up and such. My dad did a real good job making a mess with his painting!! I was not expecting the winter wonderland when I woke up this morning! It has snowed several inches! Quite a change from our warm Nevada weather. All is well. Preston has enjoyed playing with his cousin, Brynnly. They are so cute playing together. I got a pedicure from my sister in law, Devery, which is always heavenly. I go back to be with my honey on Friday morning. I miss him so much!!
