I love my kids

This morning Preston went upstairs and was so quiet. So, I went up to see what he was up to. He was just reading to himself. So cute.

My Mom bought the kids sunglasses when she was here last weekend. Preston LOVES his. He's always taking them on and off.

These are just cute pictures of them playing with them. Preston is trying to put on Hannah's for her.

TA DA!

He really wanted to wear Hannah's too.

We're so cool!!

Free Samples

OK guys I love a good bargain, who doesn't? I found a really cool blog called Mummydeals.com. There is a list of free samples and stuff on the site which is right here. I signed up for all kinds of stuff. But, I mostly liked getting a free sippy cup from Juicy Juice. Enjoy ya'll! Check out some of the other cool stuff on there! I put a link to the site on my blog.

Milestones

For all of my family that thought Hannah would never roll over...SHE DID! TWICE yesterday!! Ha ha ha. She's thinning out...well, a little. The doctor seems to think she's pretty chubby and pretty short. But, I don't care. I think she's cute!! So here's what's been going on this week.
There is a neighborhood right next to ours that has a park. It's gated but I got the gate code and we've been there a lot this week. Preston LOVES it. He has gotten so brave on the slide. He can climb up all by himself and he says "eeeeeeee" or "oooooooo" when he goes down. He pretty much loves the park. What kid doesn't? Here are a bunch of shots in action.
I also took another picture of the kids together to see how much closer in size they are getting. They are really starting to look a lot more like each other.
Preston has been sitting up to the table lately and he really feels like a big boy.
Hannah loves to swing too.
Brad has a test tomorrow and he's been studying a lot. We usually see him a little more on Saturdays but he studied longer.
I'm trying to get used to my new calling. I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing most of the time. I'll figure it out I'm sure. I'm supposed to oversee the scouts, I guess. I don't know much about the scouting program.
Preston started singing yesterday. We were watching Handy Manny (one of his favorites) and he started singing right along with the song. Of course the words weren't exactly right but he was totally singing with it. Then today he started singing the ABC song with one of his toys. He surprises us everyday with the things he does.

Growing up too fast

This is going to be a long blog post! I just haven't posted much lately and I've got some really cute pictures of the kids. So...here it goes.
This picture turned out a little blurry but I thought it was so cute. Preston LOVES to put his shoes on lately. He was runnin around with his diaper and shoes. It was so cute. He loves his new chair too.

Hannah is such a happy girl. I love her little rolls and chubbiness.

Sleepin' in the jumperoo again.

Playin' footsie with her buddy, Weston.

I LOVE her pretty blue eyes. They just sparkle.

In her pretty new pink dress. I bought it for her while I was in Utah.

Preston loves to help me in the kitchen. He was helping me make oatmeal pancake mix. As you can see there just may have been more on the counter, chair and floor than there was in the bowl. But, he had fun.

Preston and blankie goin' for a ride. He loves his blankie. We've also been loving this weather!! It's been almost 70 all week and so sunny and nice!

Playin' ball.

This is a hazard. At least he had one hand on the wheel!

We're so proud of Preston!! We finally got him off the binkie. It was a rough road for him. He LOVED his binkie and wouldn't sleep without. He wandered around for a few days saying "ki ki". He's gotten over it and will now sleep without it. He hasn't had it all week!! YAY BUDDY!
I got a new calling last week. I got called into the primary presidency. I'm first counselor. I'm excited about it, I think it should be very fun.
Brad was excited today because they got to cut open the skull on his cadaver and they're disecting the brain. Eeeew. That's why he's becoming the doctor and not me!!
This is our favorite time of year as far as TV goes. We LOVE 24, American Idol and Lost. We're pretty glad we have a DVR to record them all so we can watch them when Brad gets home at night! We have a hard time staying awake though.
SUPER long post. I know. Enjoy Grandmas!!

Charlie and Lola

Does anyone watch this show on Disney Channel? I cringe when I hear it come on. I think it is the most obnoxious show on Disney!!! The little girl says "Charlie" after everything she says and they talk with an accent and have the most annoying voices. AAH! It will not play on my TV. Anyone else agree?

The New Year

I've made a New Years resolution to eat healthier and lose some more weight. I ended up losing a total of 12 lbs in 30 days which is a major feat for me!! I'm still goin. Can't stop. I'm feeling so good but I've gotta be ready for swimsuit season!! If anyone has any health recipes send them my way!!

Cereal

This was so cute. I gave Hannah cereal last night and she was quite enjoying it!! She was sound asleep mid bite. I even took her bib off and wiped her face and she was still out! Nice and full and happy.

stranded

So, My brother, his wife, Piper and their two friends Holly and Ashley stayed at our house on Friday night on their way down to Arizona for a wedding. They left at around 4:30 p.m. the next morning and they made it around the block!! So, I've had company for the weekend and it'.s been kinda fun. I guess something is wrong with the transmission and because it's a 2006 it's still under warranty. So, we don't know how long it will take because they have to order parts and they were closed today. It's fun to spend time with Sam and Piper. Even when we go to Utah they have to work and stuff and I don't end up seeing them much.

Birthday, Christmas and FHE

We had a great time in Utah for the past couple weeks. We were all pretty tired from all the action and we were glad to get home. We sure miss all our family and friends though. We stayed with Brad's family which is always a busy house. Sunday, the 21st, we had Preston's birthday party. It was fun. Preston was tired and may not have been as excited as he could've been but he really loved all the presents everyone brought. It's tough to have a Christmas birthday!! Then, Christmas Eve, Santa came to visit and we exchanged gifts with the Clark family.
We opened Santa's presents the next morning and went to the Wang home. We had Christmas dinner there and spent time with my parents, brothers and Piper. My brother, Matt, met Hannah for the first time. He loves to play with Preston. He played a game with Preston where they threw stuffed animals down the stairs and Preston laughed and laughed. Since then he throws EVERYTHING down the stairs...THANK YOU MATT!! While we were at the Clark's he threw a glass root beer bottle with pennies in it down the steps and it shattered on the tile at the bottom. What a fun game! Here are some highlights of the week.

Hannah enjoying Preston's birthday present from Grandma and Grandpa Wang.

Preston enjoying it as well.

Mickey Mouse cupcakes. They are cookies and cream and super yummy!


Hannah in her cousin Brynnly's baby stroller.

All the Clark grandkids. It was really funny trying to get a picture of all of them looking.

Christmas morning.

Preston's doctor kit from Santa.

Hannah fell asleep during all the action.

Preston was a little tired and out of sorts on Christmas day. He got a toy piano from my mom and dad that he loves now but at the time he was too tired to get excited. This picture cracks me up.


More pics of the piano.


This was our Family Home Evening lesson last night. We made savings boxes for the kids. Preston has a whole $5 now! I wanted to teach my kids early how to save their money. They may not understand it now but someday we'll tell them this was a FHE lesson and hopefully we can get it to stick...hopefully!
