Long Time...Long Post

I just had to put this photo of my wonderful, cute hubby on the blog!

Prestons 4 year picture! Not sure what is going on with the smile ! hmm

My cute little pirates. They where not photogenic pirates! This was the best photo we have!

Kamee, Devree, Tucker and Preston at Schnepf farms. This is the only picture of me pregnant. And the only reason we have it is because Anissa made me! haha But notice that the pumpkin placed perfectly in front of my ever expanding belly!!

It has been awhile since I posted and things are about the same. Here's just a quick update on everyone.

Aaron is still working and going to school. This semester ha brutal on him and us. But he only has a few more weeks then he is off until january 19th. He is set to Graduate in May with his Business Degree. He is also looking into different Masters Programs, trying to decide what the next step is.

Preston just turned 4 in Octoober and he had a great birthday. We had all the family and some friends over to celebrate the occasion. We had hamburgers and cinnamon rolls (prestons pick) to eat. We also got to go to Schnepf farms agian this year and we had a lot of fun. Preston also got to celebrate Halloween this year as a pirate. I think he really liked it and he was a pretty good lookin pirate.

Tucker is getting closer and closer to that magical age of 2! That mom is so excited about. He is learning how to defend himself against his big brother and I can tell that we are going to see some bumps and bruises in the next couple of years! Tucker also had the oppurtunity to be a pirate for Halloween (mom likes to dress them the same! teehee) Tucker would walk around and point his sword at ya and say grrr! It was so cute and always made us laugh!

The Baby is doing good. We have 5 weeks until the baby is due to arrive! He still offically has no name yet. But we are working on it. We like to wait and see the baby before we make anything offical. We had a 4D /3D ultrasound done a few weeks ago and from what we can see he is going to be a chunky baby like Tucker! We are counting on a 9lbs plus baby.

And me I am busy trying to get Christmas done and get everything else done for the baby. I am growing bigger everyday (or atleast it feels like it). The baby is very busy inside and is always streatching out one way or another, which can be pretty uncomfortable at times! Other than that we are all just hanging out and enjoying the cooler weather! Hopefully I will get the Blogging bug and have the desire to post more, but we will see.

My Sweet Baby Boy!

It is offical , my sweet baby boy is no longer a baby! Tucker is 19 months old and is very much on his way to being a 2 year old! And that makes me sad. I know that in 14 weeks I am going to have another sweet baby boy, it is just hard to watch your latest one grow out of that baby stage. These pictures are proof to me that we are entering new territory !!

A weekend in the wild out doors

We were able to go to Aarons parents cabin for the labor day weekend. Some were brave enough to face the wild out doors and sleep outside(okay, so they where in a tent, but still sleeping outside). As for me slept inside the house and was perfectly fine with that. We played games, talked, got to know each other on a spiritual level, ate and ate, and best of all we all had a great time. The weather was wonderful and at times, was sweater required. We missed all those who couldn't come up!

Completely Outnumbered

So, for those of you who haven't heard. We found out a week ago that we are expecting our 3rd BOY! Three boys works for me. Atleast I am fmailar with everything boyish!

Prestons first day of school

Yesterday was Prestons 1st day of Preschool. He looked soo cute with his new backpack and new clothes, that he picked out himself. He is in Mrs. Randalls class and goes two days a week for 2 1/2 hours, then next year he will go 3 days a week. He was so excited, he didn't even cry or nothin! We are so excited for him and love him very much!

Texas July of 2008

We where able to go to Texas in the month of July for a week. We visited my family and got to do some cool stuff with the kids. It was a great trip.

Sprinklers

My kids love to play outside in our sprinklers. But for the last month Preston has not been able to because of his leg, well yesterday we felt confident enough to go ahead and let him play in the water. These are jsut some cute pictures of my boys playing in the water.

I love how green our grass is. In this picture
Preston running to the sprinklers!
Now, I am not sure what the point of this was, but it was still a little funny.
The whole time we were at outside Tucker sat at the same sprinkler head and played. And everytime the sprinkler would come around and squirt him, he would laugh. It was pretty funny.

July 4 2008

Preston in his Fourth of July attire. He looked so cute and thought his fourth of july shirt was cool.
Preston had to hold Tucker in order for us to get this picture. My boys are such busy bodies!
Preston and Tucker got to help Grandma make and frost cupcakes before the party started. Preston really enjoyed the putting the frosting and sprinkles on the cupcakes.


We had a great fourth of july. We had Joes BBQ catered, sat outside on my parents new pourch/out door living area and visited with some of my family. At the end of the day we went over to Bryce and Keala's to visit new cute and sweet Baby Chase. Me and the boys had already seen him at the hospital, but Aaron hadn't gotten the chance, so on our way home we went and visited. Once we got home and got to sleep we all had a great nighs rest.

When mom is busy

What they do when mom isn't looking! Play on the computer! I love the smile on tuckers face.

The New Room

Because our family is growing and our stuff is getting bigger, our house has to get bigger too. So, we have started construction on bedroom #5! Preston got twin bunk beds and they would totally dominate his room so, we decided to close in one of the lofts we don't use. This is the Picture before construction began!

Durning Construction
After the first day of construction! It looks completely different than it did before. Hopefully it will all be done soon! And the best part is I get another linen closet! I am so excited!

Stitches Update

Prestons Leg 13 days after the accident! This picture was taken friday night after we went to the doctors apt to see if they could remove the stitches. They actually took out 16 of the 24 stitches!

This one was taken this morning. The remainder of the stitches where removed yesterday afternoon. Both of these pictures look GREAT compared to what it did look like. Hope they don't make any one sick!!

Pregnancy Update

Everyone keeps asking me for a pregnancy update and there really is no update. I am in my second trimester now and am feeling a little better than I did in the first. Yes, I am still planning on this baby being boy #3. I will keep people updated on anything new!

First trip to the ER

This is a very short version of what happened, I just don't feel like typing all the details.

Saturday night we made our first trip to the ER. Preston was playing in a room that he is not susposed to play in and he grabbed a Milwaukee 18volt drill off the table and he dropped the drill on his leg. My mom thought that he had hurt his hand because that was what was covered in blood. But my dad noticed that his leg was the one bleeding. We rushed him over to the Sun Lakes fire department ( just down the street from my parents house) , to see if we needed to call an ambulance but they looked at it and decided that it would only need 10 stitches, so we went ahead and took him to Mercy Gilbert Medical Center. Once we got there, we got in prettty quickly and had several doctors look at his leg they all agreed that the wound was deep but no damage to any tendants even though one of the tendants had a cut on the outside layer of it. So, they went ahead and stitched up his leg with 24 stitches. There are 3 different cuts, the first is 3 to 3.5 inches long and the other 2 are an inch long each.

The doctors wanted him to walk on his foot, flat footed within 24 hours. He has done it but he is still being very careful with it. We have some doctors apt scheduled for the next few weeks, so hopefully everything is good and we have no problems!

I would post pictures but they are not pretty. He still has a lot of swelling, redness/blood and the wound is still running a clear liquid. I figured I would post a picture after the stitches come out in a few weeks.

Prestons Sleepover

On friday night we had Kaden over for a sleepover. It was soo much fun. Heres just a few pictures of our exciting night!

Preston, Kaden and Tucker jumping on the air mattress
More Jumping!
After all the jumping was over we settled down for a just a few hours of sleep before more playing!

A day out

Preston and aunt dana!

For this months activity we went up to Aarons pareents cabin in Tonto Village. We went up just for the day. The kids had a great time and I wish we could have stayed longer, but we couldn't. It was a little cold, but considering what was waiting for us in the valley, we enjoyed it while we could.

Hanging out eating watermelon.

Preston got to ride the dirt bike, with Grandpa and Nathan. He really likes the motorcycles, I think I am in trouble!

I loved this picture of Tucker, he was so funny! He climbed up and down the step for like 20mins.

What a hunk!! Tucker and his aunt dana!

My kids love to play outside and I don't let them do it very often because of our scorpion problem. But, we think that we may have it under control. Now. But here are some cute pictures of them playing outside.

Easter

So, I know that Easter is over with, but it was so early this year that I feel like it didn't even come. I never really got in the spirit of it. Anyways, here are some pictures of my boys in their matching easter outfits, of course!!
Aren't they cute !

Family Pictures

Okay, so we finally had some pictures taken, that I like.
This is a great picture of Preston he looks so grown up.
I love this picture of Tucker!

Thanks to my friend Kaylea for taking the pictures. She did such a great job and some day she is going to be a very busy photographer.
