Jack is Back!!

For all you who have been suffering from 24 withdrawal. Freak! It's gonna be good!

My beautiful children

These are the pics I got taken of my kids last week. I am so happy with them. It's hard to shoot a toddler, that's for sure but he was pretty good and I love the way they turned out. The one of Preston with his blankie is the one I got of Preston for our mantle...it totally captures his cute little personality. If any of you know him you know he LOVES he blankie. He lays on it and hugs it and says "ki ki" which translates into "blankie". I love my kiddos! Aren't they so cute?










I copied and pasted these from their website...so yeah, it's got zazzle written on them but you get the idea. I just had to share them because they turned out so precious. Sorry about all the blog posts! I've been wanting to do this for a while and just haven't had much time. So, I'm getting caught up!

Cheese!

This is Preston's new word...CHEESE! I finally got it on camera!!

Nursery

This is Preston after church on Sunday. His face is a mess from his church snacks and he looks pretty tired, doesn't he?

So, I have a little bit of a struggle lately...Preston is old enough to go to nursery but my struggle is he's SOOOO much smaller than everyone there and can't do things that some of them can. For instance, he hasn't learned to sit in a chair like they do at snack time or color. He just wants to eat the crayons. Or drink out of a regular cup by himself. I took him a couple weeks ago and I walked away for one second and he had fallen out of his chair and the chair had falled on top of him. They were doing bubbles with this big bubble machine and all the kids were running around popping them and Preston totally got trampled. He eats slower than the other kids and when they're done they want Preston's fruit snacks. It just seems to be a big struggle for me to take him when these things are happening. I know they may seem like small things but I just don't think he's ready for nursery. On the other hand he will not sit through Sunday school. We end up in the hall anyway. What to do...

Quiet night

Today was a good day. Preston, Hannah and I spent the day with my brother, Sam and his wife Piper. They came to Vegas for their one year anniversary. Today is also Sam's birthday! Happy Birthday Sam! We went to the mall and shopped. I got Hannah's picture taken (again). I didn't like the first set I got at JCPenney so I tried and new place called Picture People. They did I much better job. I hadn't planned on getting her picture taken but they gave me a coupon for a free 10x13 so i just did some naked pics and they turned out really cute. I'm excited about them. I told her I appreciated the coupon because my husband is in med school and we can't afford much. With the first set I didn't get a big one because I didn't really like one so it worked out good to get a FREE big one that I liked. Anyway, I think she felt bad for me and gave me 4 more coupons for a free 10x13 so I'm going to take Preston back because I didn't order any of his from the last photo shoot. They've got my business for sure!!! Maybe I should drop the "husband in med school" card more often! Ha ha. Brad then joined us for dinner with Sam and Piper for Sam's birthday. We went to Panera's. They've got some good bread! Mmmmm. Then we came home around 5 and I put Preston down for a nap. Well, it's 10:45 p.m. and he never woke up! I had to go check on him to make sure he was ok and he was. I must've worn the poor guy out!! It's been such a quiet night. It's kinda weird. We kinda missed him!

Melt in your mouth, not in your hand

I got Preston a treat today for being so good at the store...

What was I thinking???

Getting caught up

I love dressing Hannah up, if you can't tell. This is one of my new favorite outfits! She looks like a little doll in it. Thanks to my friend, Lindsay for the outfit! She's giving a shout out to everyone!

Cute little sleepy face!

When Hannah's hair dries after her bath it just sticks straight up! It's so soft. I love to rub my face on her head!

Hannah's sweet new do!!

Preston LOVES to eat all by himself with his spoon. Especially when it's Cheerios!

Are my kids cute or what???

So, now that that is out of the way...I just have to say I'm LONGING for a new wardrobe!!! I hate my clothes (well, the ones I can fit into!) Wish I could wear those "skinny pants" that have been sitting in my closet for a long time. Just hoping I'll wear them again someday.
