I Love Boys

This is what I find on my kitchen table at least once a week. Preston and Harrison as the assistant "surprise" me with a lovely Mickey Mouse bowl full of flowers and "leaves in the middle for extra color". They are so loving and I always know exactly where they are coming from. Which brings me to my point.......WE ARE HAVING A GIRL and I am a little spooked! What am I going to do? I only know how to take care of boys!

Punishment or Parent Torture

Preston was "bad" the other night and I was on my last nerve, so in the heat of the moment I said "No Wii for a week, maybe that will make you think next time". In reality I was the one not thinking. I was not only punishing him...but mostly myself.

Today is a great day, the Wii has returned. Now maybe I can get a few things done while my children sit in front of the TV getting cramps in their fingers. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

Amusement Park Marathon

Besides Las Vegas, we have not had a true vacation this summer. Utah was canceled because I was so sick, the price of gas was so high and the thought of traveling in a car for 24 hours didn't thrill me! So we decided to take advantage of the fact that we live in So Cal. We headed down to Legoland which was promptly followed by 2 FULL days of Disneyland and the Disneyland Hotel. What was I thinking? I all of the sudden I have sore muscles I didn't even know existed. I don't recommend this plan to anyone and especially anyone almost 6 months pregnant.


The boys had a great time and I guess that's what matters the most. In ten years Jeremy and I figure that we will be sitting on a bench on Main Street sharing some popcorn while the boys run from roller coaster to roller coaster. And we would be reminiscing about this particular trip wishing we could go back in time, just to ride It's a Small World one more time with them. We are exhausted by enjoyed every simple, childlike, magical moment.


Here are some photos of our adventures! Warning: Preston is all the sudden into having his photo taken and Harrison thinks its funny to make funny faces at the camera while I plead with him to stop.




The end of the night is pure bliss!! They were asleep with in minutes of crawling in bed.

Like father, like son.
We LOVE the character breakfast, it's a really fun thing to do for a birthday or some kinda of celebration!


Star Wars

I found a new favorite ride, Toy Story. It was sooo much fun, it was something that you didn't want to end and wish you could just ride it over and over again.

Jeremy and I purchased this stone about 10 years ago, when it was just the two of us. Its really neat to see the boys enjoy visiting the stone every time we go to Disneyland. We got a really good spot too its 6 stones due East, I suggest visiting it sometime.



Legoland, I always wondered why we had never gone before, I wonder no more!

The boys did enjoy building a car and then racing them, they spent so much time there I contemplated make a race track like this, but then reality set in.


Indiana Jones

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.
