My new craft projects

Well, some of you may remember a long time ago a post about a headboard that I made. Well, I re-did it. I liked the other one but it wasn't exactly what I had pictured. So, I found a flannel sheet set on clearance for $7.50 that I thought would look good. It kinda has a micro suede effect. I LOVE it now. Glad I did it.
I also started making these cute little bobby pins for Hannah's hair.

Preston's new words

Preston suprises me with a new word almost everyday. His favorite right now is "Ready, set, go!" He says "gi gi goooooo". I love it. He also says ball, more, 123, please, choo choo, doggie, bye bye, love you, whoops, Mickey, wow, yeah, go, hello and hi, hot, all fall down, grandpa, (sometimes he says grandma but they sound kinda the same) That's all I can think of right now. I'm sure there's more. He brings me my phone and says "grandpa" a lot. He likes to call grandpa, I guess. Whenever he hears my dad's ringtone he says "grandpa". It is so fun to hear all his new words. He's really talking a lot these days.
Hannah isn't feeling well. She has a little fever and whines all the time. I feel so bad for her. I swear I held her all day yesterday. She wouldn't let me put her down. She cried a lot. Luckily she's keeping her food down. She just has a little fever. I thought she might be teething but there's no sign of any teeth yet.
It's been so warm and we're loving it. It's cloudy today and a lot cooler. It's supposed to rain for a few days. That's rare.

Happy Groundhog's Day!

If anyone knows Brad they know today is his favorite holiday! He's even written a poem about it that I wish I still had. I think one of his old roommates has it but it's really funny. So, this one's for you honey! Happy Groundhog's Day!!

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!!
