This is my Christmas present from the kids. A big storage tub, candles , hot chocolate, oreos, pinapple, and watermelon...I got the best present ever!
So Preston accidentally swallowed a penny on Thursday night. Hasn't found the change so Jake brought him to my work yesterday and we did a quick x-ray...good news it is not in his tummy! He didn't like the x-ray too much but we got it done!
I love this time of year...snow, celebrating Christ birth, Christmas, New Years...
Well, Thursday Preston was playing with 2 pennys and I was putting his jammies on. Well, he dropped one and it fell right in his mouth and slid nicely down his little throat. Poor kid! We are still waiting for it to pass!
Kinley is in Pre-School and loves it. Tonight she wondered how long before we were to the beach to go on the wagon ride. I told her 6 minutes. So she counts 1,2,3,4,5,6 -k- we aren't here yet. We said no you have to count to 60 6 times. She can do it almost all by herself. She has a hard time at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. She will say nineteen elleven for 20. But she even went to 100!! She is my smarty pants.
Jake got our new windows installed and they look so good thanks also in part to Rowdy helping us.
I have been playing around with photoshop and having fun. Mostly getting things ready for Christmas and watching kids!
We went camping with Brittany and Tayler Thursday through Saturday to Chesterfield Reservoir. We had a pretty good time. We went for a little 4-wheeler ride and the kids loved it.
We went to Jensen Grove yesterday to take the boat out. Kinley didn't like the boat so much. You pretty much had to have your hands and legs around her and she still was clenching her teeth everytime we went over a wave or corner. Then Preston smiles as the wind is in his hair. Then he rode the double tube with Jake and I. He didn't like it when the water would slash but had lots of fun. He would just giggle. We went around the grove 2 or 3 times! Lots of fun!
We went to Lava and went swimming with Grandma Donna, Amy, Gus, and Gunner. It was the perfect day to go swimming. Not too many people and not much for lines on the new speed slide. Jake and I both tried them out and gave them a thumbs up! Then we went up to the farm in Soda to Uncle Craigs spot and we camped all weekend. We got rained on a bit but it didn't dampen our spirits. Still had lots of fun and lot of miles on the 4-wheeler thanks to Preston. We had to constantly go on wheeler rides! Uncle Craig, Aunt Melodee, and Logan visited quite a bit and then Brit and Tayler were there Friday and Saturday. Grandpa Curt also cam to visit.
We went to baby animal day at the fair yesterday. Preston only liked the bunny, duck, and chicks...I guess the snakes too (I DO NOT like snakes!). Kinley loved everything. She pet every animal there...yes, even the snake!
This is where we camped last weekend. Our first trip of the year. It did rain on us but we still had lots of fun!
Here is our crew minus Jake...He's taking the picture! There was Rowdy, Gunner, Amy, Gus, me, Preston, and Kinley.
Kinley and Preston were playing "Hop Scotch" with the couch cushions. Well, Preston went to jump in Kinley arms and she tipped over with him and we have a banana type chair but pretty hard. Well, he his his eye right on the edge. He cried and said "ouchy, ouchy, ouchy!" It was so sad. But, he is tuff and he only cried just after it happened. I think I will have a BRUISER on my hands!
This Pictures we took a few hours after the incident. He didn't want his picture taken. 
The Easter Bunny brought Preston his very own vacuum. He loves to vacuum and has been pushing it all over the house!
The other day, Preston tipped over one of my plants. He had dirt in his mouth, ears, face...everywhere. It was pretty funny. He didn't like it at first, but he spit the dirt out of his mouth and then he though he was so funny! 
Last weekend we went to Disney on Ice, well, Kinley, my parents, my sister, my aunt, and I went. It was a lot of fun. Kinley didn't want to take her eyes off the ice. I will load pictures soon and maybe some video if I can figure that out. Kinley loved Tinkerbell and Arial. Preston went with Jake to the man store and had a good time. Jake bought a new fly rod so we will be practicing that this summer. I have been once and it was fun so I am excited to try it out some more!
Pres is interested in the potty and will sit down on his little red potty chair for about 2 seconds. Last night he got out of the tub and went in the hall and he had that look like he was going to go pee in the hall. I said no, no. I brought him in the bathroom in front of the potty chair. I turned around to clean up and look back and he peed, in the potty! Well, half was on the floor but he still did it! We were so excited. He is getting so big, the little runt!
We went to Soda to go snowmobilling and sledding last weekend. If you can't tell, I am the one taking pictures since there aren't any of me!! I had a lot of fun sleding down the hill. I went down with Kinley, Preston, and Kaybree and we got off the trail and tipped over and the girls got whitewashed from the snow. Kinley liked playing in the cabin more than outside. She has lots of fun playing with the cousins. We borrowed dads snowmachine and Jake had lots of fun, got stuck a few times though! Enjoy the pictures.
