WE ARE MOVING!!

At first I was a little mad, to say the least. But now I have come around and am quite excited for this move. We are leaving Springville that we love so much and moving south to Spanish Fork Wednesday the 24th. It is really on the border on Springville/Spanish Fork. It is quite a lovely little house. Here are the pictures of the outside. When I move in I'll take pictures of the inside.

What a shiner!

Poor baby got this awful goose egg on his forehead earlier this week. I was vacuuming and he loves to be chased and to play with the light on the front. Well I went to push the vacuum up right when he decided to jump in front of it and it tripped him and he hit his head on the vent that sticks out of the wall :( He cried like crazy.
In my house when you get a bad ouchy you get a treat...ice cream or a popsicle. It always seems to make it feel better. He didn't complain once after the popsicle.

my silly boy

These pictures crack me up!this was at our hotel in Cedar City when we went for our nephews baby blessing. Preston LOVES to be just like daddy!What a silly boy! Time to go on another trip I guess :)This was at the Earth Science museum on BYU campus. For the most part he was bored but he did love walking through the dino bones

Circus!!

So last week we took Preston to the Jordan's World Circus at UVU. He LOVED it. His favorites were the lions/tigers and the pony rides during half time. NO, we did not fork out that ridiculous amount just so he could then be scared and insist on getting off. But he did love all of the comotion! When Pete and I were first dating we went to the same circus. So this was fun to go back and take our boy!
Here are some pictures.

A little catch up

I have been a little too busy to blog. So here is a little catch up over the last month
These are my cousin Laura's kids Jack and Noah. Every body loves a doggy kennel. At one point they were ALL in there! So funny:)
This was the first time Preston got to play in the snow. Up until then he would try and kick it or reach down and touch it to and from the house/car. So I bundled him up....he had a ball just falling over and over again and laughing. He had way too much fun.What kid doesn't love putting on daddy's boots??? Why do we even buy our kids toys, they just prefer boxes anyway?Preston LOVES to wake up and crawl into bed with daddy to snuggle. He's not so much into snuggling with mommy in our bed....just his daddy!!

I love fall time!!

Preston really enjoyed playing in the MANY piles of leaves this year. He couldn't help himself when I was raking them up. How does every kid have the instinct to just roll around in them? Nobody taught them this. They are just drawn to it. So funny!He was even a big help when daddy and I were stuffing the leaves into bags. He would grab big handfuls of leaves and put them in. He loves to help us do anything we are doing :)

Isn't fall time just the best time of the year. I finally realized this year that it is my favorite season. It's so pretty! And you get to wear sweaters and pants....but don't have to wear huge winter coats. I wish I lived in a place that it lasted longer. Winter just comes too soon. Happy fall!!!
