A Sunbeam!!!

My adventures

CHEESE!

He loves to lift his hat up and say "Hee Haw!" That's what he's doing.

Nice pose huh? Ha ha ha!



Gosh I love my kids but when it comes to making dinner why can't they stop torturing me and just let me cook!?!? Ha ha ha. They just don't like it when I'm cooking and not playing with them. Yesterday I was just trying to chop some potatoes and Hannah was pushing me away from the counter and crying, Preston got out all the pots and pans and started banging around. Then he moved on to the refrigerator door and started slamming it and the pantry door. I couldn't go anywhere without stepping on a kid or a pan. This picture doesn't do the madness any justice but just to give you an idea. Don't you love Preston in his undies and cowboy boots?? Classic.
Preston is in Sunbeams now. On Sunday we were asking him what they talked about in his class. He said that Santa gives presents but Jesus does too. I thought that was so cute and I had to post it. I talked to his teacher, who is also my friend and she said they talked about their bodies being a gift. So, I guess that ties into his lesson...a little. Super cute. Then later that day he sighed and said "I wuv Jesus Mommy" Love that kid.
These pictures were just too good for me not to post them. Preston in his undies, car slippers and sunglasses. What a cool dude! He LOVES these slippers. He wants them on all the time. He sleeps in them too. He and Hannah got those sunglasses from their Grandma Tina last year and they LOVE them. Hannah's didn't fit very well last year but she and Preston wear them all the time now. I don't think he put his real glasses on all day yesterday. He just wanted his "cool glasses" on.

What the!?


Brad went to get Preston out of bed from his nap and this is what he found. Sometimes he'll pick his nose so hard it bleeds. Disgusting isn't it? We're not positive that's what happened but that's what we think. When Brad brought him down he said "I think Preston got in a fight with his doggie" Ha ha ha.
I forgot to mention in previous posts that I recently got released from the Primary Presidency and got called into the Young Women's Presidency and I am really excited to work with the youth and go to camp etc. Should be fun!!

Random thoughts

Today at the park. It has been pretty warm here...around 60 degrees. The kids love getting outside.



Potty partners. We had to get a second potty so they both could go. Preston has really been doing well. No accidents today so far! Go Preston!!

The kids at the Gateway Children's Museum. I wish I got a picture with Matt too, he went with us but I didn't. The kids had a blast. Poor Hannah had a booger nose!


I don't know why I have such a weird look on my face. Hannah just wasn't feeling well the week of Christmas. She just wanted to snuggle. Isn't she cute?

Hannah all bundled up in her big puffy coat in Utah. She hated that thing but she's pretty happy here!

Cool dude eatin' breakfast. He LOVES these sunglasses. He always asks where his "cool glasses" are.

Potty Progress

I think I posted before that while trying to potty train Preston, Hannah decided she wanted to go. Well lately she has really wanted to go. She's gone on the potty several times. Today she went twice and she got a treat both times. She got M & M's one time and boy did that make Preston mad!! He decided right then that he was going to go. So he sat on the potty for a little while and he got some too! After that he kept wanting to go. We set the timer for every 20 minutes and every time he sat down he went!!!!! So I just kept giving him M & M's and he was so happy!!! FINALLY some progress! The timer really helped because he could go play for a little bit and then when the bell went off he knew it was time to sit on the potty again! So, I'm officially training BOTH kids. Should be lots of fun! (right)

Christmas




Ok, I am so behind. I don't know why I haven't had much of a desire to blog lately. I'm trying to catch up!! Poor little Hannah had a rough Christmas. She pretty much cried all morning. She was so sad. We thought she was just getting teeth. She had 2 molars and one other tooth coming in. Poor thing. Well, Christmas night she didn't sleep at all! She sounded so hoarse and really could barely cry. She was so sad. I couldn't take it anymore and we decided to take her to the ER. She had croup. The poor little thing was just miserable. They gave her steroids and 2 breathing treatments and she was feeling much better.
It really was a busy busy week with Preston's party, Clark family parties, 2 photoshoots and Christmas. But we had a lot of fun with our families.
As always, my kids were completely spoiled by their grandparents! Grandma Tina got them a play kitchen that they've really enjoyed playing with.
It was so fun that Preston understood what was going on this year and loved opening presents and he sure had a lot to open with a Christmas birthday too.
This is my cute Sister in law, Melissa with her fiance, Travis. I took their engagement pictures while I was up. They are so cute!

And this is my cute new neice, Brielle. I took her pics as well.

A much needed update

I haven't posted in a while. I am so behind! I'll start with Preston's birthday and when I get time I'll catch up some more. Preston turned three years old on December 19th. I can't believe time has gone by that fast! It just seems like yesterday I was having him. He requested a train cake and a train cake he got!! I am so proud of the way his cake turned out. I'm not a pro but I loved his cake and so did he!
