More fun...

I had some more pictures from Spencer's birthday but they were all of Preston haha. We ended up going to Nelsons for lunch and Preston fell asleep before we even got there. I figured he'd wake up when I got him out of the car but that wasn't the case. He was snoozin...even when I laid him down on the seat ( he never does that ). He must have been one tired baby!


He's getting so big that he practically took up the whole seat, I can't believe how fast he is growing! But after we left we stopped by a park before we went home...



It was such a good day. We LOVE when Spenc is able to stay home and play with us. Why does he need to work anyway haha! Preston just adores his Dada!

Day 9-Something you're proud of in the past few days


I am proud to be called as the new Beehive adviser! Yes I got a new calling in church and I am seriously excited that I have the privilege to to work with the Young Women in our ward. For those of you who don't know what a beehive adviser is, I will be working with the 12 and 13 year old girls in our ward - teaching them on sundays, helping with personal progress, and going to mutual with them on Wednesday nights. We have 15! beehives in our ward and I can't wait to be able to get to know each one individually. I was able to meet a few this last Wednesday and they are adorable and the leaders I will be working with are amazing! I kinda feel like they will probably teach me more than I could ever teach them but I'm sure that's why the Lord helped in getting me this new calling. Hopefully I can be an example and light to them...and hopefully they will like me!!! Because I already love them!

Spencer is 25!!...

A Happy Birthday to My Love...


Yes my sexy hubby turned the big 25! Wow he is getting kinda old...haha how come time just keeps getting faster the older you get? Anyways I just wanted to let him know how much he means to me and Preston. He is my world, my best friend, amazing dad and the greatest  husband. I seriously don't know how I got so lucky. I take for granted sometimes all he does for us but he does so much and always has so much on his plate but seems to be able to pull everything off giving it all 100%. I'm so proud of all he does and I'm so proud to be his wife. 


Spencer's parents took us all out for Joe's BBQ tonight to celebrate...it was dang good. And if you didn't know...you can get 10.00 worth of food for free on your birthday!


Ron and Debbie are always so good about making sure we all have a cake on our birthdays...Spencer requested a mud pie...mmm...it was good even know I really should have skipped that haha.


Preston and I love you SO much Spencer. Hope you had a good birthday babe!

Day 7-A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you


( This is us on Monday - we ran across the street to bashas to get a few things, the weather is perfect right now and it felt so good to get out and run )

Right now Preston definitely has the biggest impact on me. And I'm sure it will be that way until my kids are all grown up and out of the house. Preston has really made me grow up and helped me to not be the selfish girl that I know I was. My days consist of keeping this little guy happy, healthy, loved, educated ( were working on some words - we've added ya, go and no to our list of words so now were up to 6 words :) Sometimes I miss being able to just go and do what I want to do but I can honestly say that being a mom has made me more happy then I've ever been. I wouldn't trade my life right now for anything in the world. I love you Preston and I love being your mommy!

Day 6-Favorite super hero and why


Elastigirl. This woman has got it pulled together. She is all about her family and keeping it intact. She knows when to be sweet and when to be tough, and she can use her body to do practically anything. That's what moms do, right?
