So, I'm up and running on etsy.com!! I've been making hairbows and bracelets for Hannah and I'm starting to get really good at it. So, I decided to try to sell them. It's hard not to want to keep everything for Hannah but she's got PLENTY, believe me! These pics are just a sampling! Go here to view some more. I will be adding more daily. If anyone has done this and might have some tips for me, please let me know! I'm open to suggestions. I'm new at this. I haven't posted any bracelets yet. But, I will soon. I'll probably do mostly hairbows and clips though. Wish me luck!

Preston's turn!

I took Preston this time to get his updated pictures. He absolutely LOVES his cowboy boots so I thought that would be perfect for his picture. I borrowed a hat and rifle from a friend and well, you can see for yourself it turned out adorable. I don't have the other ones yet. I'll post them when they email them to me.
He was so cute too. I kept telling him all day if he was good for his picture I'll get him a treat. He kept saying "OK" every time I reminded him. So when we got there he held my hand as we went back he walked in, sat down and smiled!! Wow! That's a first. We took maybe 20 pictures and he said "all done" and he was DONE! I wanted to get a few more but he was so good for the first few we didn't really need to. This was like the first picture they shot. So, I got him some chocolate because he really was good!!!
Preston is getting so big too. It's sad when they grow up but it's fun too. He can say all of the letters. He just can't say "W". He just looks at us when we get to that one. He gets "k" and "x" mixed up too. We're working on the numbers. Every time I ask him how old he is, he says "three". Ha ha. Not yet pal! He's pretty good at colors too. I really have the cutest kids!

Hannah waving!

My Hannah

First of all, is she cute or what?? I got her one year pictures done a couple weeks early. She was so busy it was hard to get a good shot. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford to buy all the pics so we get them with "zazzle" written across them and they're small, but you get the idea.
She is growing up so fast. I cannot believe she is almost one!!!! She is now walking with a push toy. She could start walking very soon!! She is into everything. In fact, as we speak all the books are pulled off the shelf. It's so cute how curious she is.
This happened a few weeks ago, right after we got home from Disney. Preston never did this. I'm not sure how Hannah got that diaper off! Isn't she too little to do that? The pics say it all. No need to explain...what a mess!!!



So yeah, she's fun AND cute even if she does that!!!

Happy 4th of July!!!!

Yes, we let Preston hold a sparkler. He wasn't sure what he thought about it. I think it scared him a little. It was a pretty fun day. I had fun dressing the kids up in the outfits Brad's mom sent them. They looked so cute! I had to make matching bows and a bracelet, of course. I just used the scraps I had and they turned out pretty cute.
We started the day going to our ward's pancake dinner. Then we went to Boulder City to catch the parade. It was unlike anything we've ever seen before. It was pretty much a big water fight. Everyone was throwing water balloons at the people in the parade and they were throwing things back and had big squirt guns and stuff. Silly string everywhere too. It was kinda fun to watch but we stood back. We didn't think the kids would like it.
Then we had our friends over for a bbq, which was fun. We did a few firecrackers that scared the kids to death! Hannah looked like she was having a seizure because she would jump at every little pop. That ended that.
Then we went to see fireworks. It was the shortest firework show I've ever seen. But, after they ended we all played on the blanket and had some good family time. Preston liked the fireworks, so did Hannah. They weren't so loud. We were sitting far away but just close enough. I love spending time with my cute little fam. I especially love when Brad is with us!! Only another month before school starts. :(








Preston just looks thrilled here doesn't he?
