Introducing.....Oliver

Before you ask me if I am CRAZY.... the answer is YES. Jeremy and the boys have been wanting a dog for a long time. I don't like poop but I finally gave in and said okay. Jeremy is deathly allergic to animals but we found out the Shih Tzu's don't have fur but hair like us humans. So the upside is Jeremy won't time from suffocation and I won't have to worry about dog hair because they don't shed. Seems like a win win situation. I hope he is as easy to potty train as my kids were. Jeremy has already signed up for Puppy Training Class as Pet Smart, it runs 8 weeks long. I will keep you posted on how its going. Thanks again MOM!!

I think I found a new spot for Harrison's Time Outs.

The first nip, Preston was the innocent victim.

Sunday Afternoon

Sometimes don't you wish you can just come home from Church, strip down and take a nap on the coach.

The First of Many

Preston lost his first tooth already today. We woke up this morning and Preston immediately notified us of his loose tooth. We then ran off to a Primary activity and within a hour of returning home, he just pulled it right out. He reminded us that the Tooth Fairy would be visiting soon. I am still in shock that with in 12 hours, his baby tooth became loose, fell out and the new big tooth in already a 1/4th of the way in. How does that happen?

It's been a very event full week. They both got there well baby checks which resulted in Preston receiving 4 shots. Preston did great and Harrison cried as we left the office because he didn't get any. Preston woke up the next day with a very sore arm that was very swollen and had fever. He had to walk around with an ice pack strapped to his arm for most of the day.

The result of the Well Checks:

2 Very Tall Healthy Boys.

Preston measured in at 4'3 and Harrison at 3'5 .

A Day at the Bucket

We headed over to The Big Red Bucket for a birthday party. It is one of the boys favorite places this summer.

Preston and Bradon relaxing under the sun.
Max and Harrison playing together, they are the only 2 boys in nursery.

The little kids were playing-tackling with Brock, they all had a great time. The only down fall is we had to pull Harrison off the backs of 2 other dads. Apparently he thought it was okay to tackle ANY and ALL dads in the pool.

4th of July 2008

Every year we head out to my mom's to celebrate the 4 of July and my grandpa's Birthday! We BBQ and spend the day in the pool.

Jeremy and I went to Las Vegas to celebrate our 10th Anniversary and while in Sin City we picked up a few illegal fireworks. The kids thought they were great. They were a little timid at first, but then couldn't get enough.

True Brothers, they love each other so very much.
I love that the kids got such a kick out of a simple "trick" by thier dad. They kept of chanting "Do It Again Dad". And he did!

Graduation

I can not believe that Preston is going to start Kindergarten. He was having a little problem with his hat. It basically was just to small, he tried hard to keep it on. I am going to miss Kristen, Julie and Leslie, they were so good to Preston and taught him so much. I am greatful for there love. I am sure Preston will remember them for the rest of his life along with some great friends that he shared the last 2 years with.

Harrison the Princess

Harrisons makes a good play date...... even with girls!!

Camping

My Dad was camping in San Clemente with my brother and sister, so Jeremy and I took the boys for a little camping fun. I include a shot of the tent, because believe it or not I have never Camped with Jeremy. It was a little different that what I grew up with. The tent had three rooms, an "e-outlet", TV, and FOUR blowup beds. It was an experience.


Prestson was trying to cook his hot dog, when he finally handed it off to me and said "mom will you steam his, that's how I like em." Me to Preston, Me too!


We were cooking dinner and all of the sudden we heard a woodpecker. I have never seen a one, how random is that. I was able to snap a shot of one. He was sooo loud, I couldn't believe it.



I sure love my boys!!
