OH.... HOW SWEET HE IS!!!

Can I just tell you that I LOVE my little guy!! The other day, the girls, Preston and I are sitting around the house messing around. The girls are doing the usual mauling of Preston and he is dying!! Erica then says,"Preston do you think Mommy should have a little boy so you can have a brother?" Hmmmmm! I was thinking,"Oh No!!" Preston thought for a minute and then says, "Nope, because I already have the best 3 sissy's." If that wasn't the cutest response:) He has been so cute and OH how sweet he is! I couldn't be more in love with that boy!!

Fun weekend!!

Last weekend was a fun and exciting weekend. The kids won tickets to Disney on Ice so we took them down on Saturday night. Brynlee had a hard decision to make because she had a birthday party to go to at the same time for her good little friend. She decided to go to the party with a little prodding from Mom and Dad. We promised to take her out by herself and do something with just her. She was excited about that.
We had a fun time though! When the princesses began their dance/skating songs Preston leaned back and said it was time to go home. He is definitely all BOY!!

On Sunday we got up bright and early and made our way to Salt Lake to go to my nephew Aaron's farewell. He is the first grandchild on our side of the family to go and it was so neat to be there. It was a bittersweet day but we know he will do awesome. I know my big bro shed a few tears when they took him to the MTC. It can't be easy sending your children away and especially your first. It really made me realize how precious our time is with our children. They are growing so fast and before we know it they will be on their way. We need to cherish every moment we have, even those times when we would like to send them FAR, FAR away!! Another bittersweet moment!!

What not to give a 3 year old for Halloween or anytime for that matter!! Who's idea was the stamp??

It's almost here!!!!

Are you getting excited for Twilight? Well....all the midnight showings are sold out at the Megaplex so we thought it would be fun to get a group who isn't going at midnight and go Friday the 21st at 6:30 pm and then dinner after for those who want. Kami Seward will buy tickets this Saturday so we need to get money to secure your spot. You can either get her the money or me whatever is easier. We hope you'll come and have some girl night out fun!!! Let me know what you think!!

Just a few family pictures

We had a bunch of family pictures taken because my nephew Aaron is going on a mission in November. They turned out cute but are kind of small but I wanted to share. Enjoy!!

Potty Training at it's best....continues!!

I just had to update because I am sooooo excited. For those of you who read my initial potting training post I thought the day would never come for Preston. Well.....we may have just arrived. Of course with the occasional accident Preston has decided that he can actually use the toilet. He especially loves to see me do the potty excitement dance after he goes. He will just pull those pants down anywhere and let it go. Yesterday before church he was outside and decided he needed to go so he pulled those pants down and peed on the deck. When I went to get him I saw the puddle but assumed it was water so I proceeded to pat my foot in the water. That is when Preston said, "Mom, did you know that is my pee!!" Good times!! I will take whatever I can at this point. Step by step!!

Finally.........Something to talk about!!

I have definitely been out of the Blog world for a little too long. We just returned from our Goblin Valley/Lake Powell vacation. With 80+ degree weather, fun hiking adventures, finding Geodes, seashells, boating, jumping off cliffs, and just playing in the water, they didn't want to come home. I have to admit I could have stayed longer myself. I am definitely a warm weather gal. So enough Jibber Jabber, let's get to the good stuff!! Sorry about so many pics. I want you to see it all!!

Some of the crew at Goblin Valley. We had 36 people in all.

We found a 22 ft. cliff to jump off and after at least 1 1/2 hours of coaxing almost everyone jumped. I have the bruise to prove it!!



Preston and cousins on the 3 man tube. He cried everytime he had to get off!

We had a fun little visitor every night at our camp. He was quite tame and just looking for food.



What a bunch of cute girls!!


Brynlee will do anything for a picture!
