New SandBox












So daddy decided he really wanted to make Preston a sandbox when he saw him having the time of his life playing in dirt. However we saw this one on sale and decided to give it a go. He loves to throw the sand around and smash anything fun I build with the sand.

This is not so bad considering it's been 8 years that I've been at any sort of desk job!

Tag!! Your it!


I've been tagged

10 years ago:

Let's see....I had been outta high school for almost a year and lived in Half Moon Bay, CA in a basement apartment with my high school best friend Lisa Duncan. I worked for a life insurance company and loved it. I was dating Rommer Cabebe. Boy....was that quite the story in its self! I was having fun being 18 and doing whatever the heck I wanted to. I didn't have to listen to anyone or be home at any certain time. I really took advantage of that. I went a little over board! I drove a Chrysler Laser. Does anyone remember those? It was like KIT, it talked when your door was open, you needed gas or whatever. My sister Jen owned it first then I took it over. I lived right up the street from my best friend since junior high, Tracy Victorino. That was so fun!

5 places I have visited:
*Hawaii - Oahu and Maui
*Yosemite National Park. I only climbed half way to Half Dome :(
*New York City!!
*St. John - the U.S. Virgin Islands
*Tijuana, Mexico with my 12th grade teaching academy class- my mom came along!! :)

5 things on my to do list:
*start a diet and exercise program
*clear out the nook in my kitchen and make it into a pantry
*Print photos of Preston and get going on his scrapbook

5 lifetime goals:
*have around 5 kids...maybe more???
*Raise children who are great and have a good relationship with them - i 2nd that Marie!
*serve a mission with Pete
*Be a fantastic grandma!
*Keep lifetime friends

3 bad habits:
*I don't know if it's a bad habit, but it's annoying to me. Everytime I go up a flight of stairs I count them. I have been doing it since I was a kid. I wish I could stop.
*Popping my neck and back. It's quite the addiction. I have tried to stop...I CAN'T!
*bad posture

5 things you might not know:
*my parents have been married and divorced from each other 4 times!! and never married anyone else to this day. weird....i know!!
*I never mowed a lawn until about 2 years ago when Pete showed me
*the longest I have ever owned a car is 4 1/2 years, my explorer
*I have always wanted to play the drums as a kid, now I want to learn to play the piano and to sing!

Finally a walker!

Preston decided with he and I were in California the first weekend of March that he was going to take his first steps. After that, he has loved it and walks everywhere. Here is a video of him walking today.


I kept asking him to say "wiggle wiggle" because that is his new word of choice. Pete and I laugh every time he says it. It's too funny!

Sleepover with the cousins


So last week I decided to have my two oldest nephews over for a sleepover on their springbreak.
We ordered pizza, had rootbeer and watched Chicken Run with a HUGE bowl of popcorn! Preston just loves to play with kids older than him, especially his cousin Corbin. Corbin can always make him laugh. Here are a few pictures of that night.

Crazy Kid!

So this morning I was doing my house stuff as usual and I heard Preston laughing up a storm. I walk in the livingroom and found this:

I just laughed my butt off. He is pretty darn good at entertaining himself these days!
