some pix

Here are some recent pix.

The kids came home on Sunday, each with a sucker for me. As as soon as they showed me them they asked if they could eat it. (kids) But Preston saw it and got very excited and wanted to eat my suckers too. I gave him the first one I could find which happened to be a huge lollipop from easter that we somehow still had. Grandma also found him one...

He was in Heaven.

I decided I Hated having long hair. Preston's favorite way of getting to a standing position was to grab my hair and pull himself up. Plus it gets tangled underneath with huge nots that hurt a ton to get out (my head is sensitive now, it did not used to be) so even if I spent the time doing it, I pulled my hair into a ponytail eventually.
I style it a little diff than in the picture and have not gotten a front view yet. sorry

Here is a new problem we are facing...

Preston has discovered the ladder. He Loves climbing it. It does not come off. And he is FAST!

At first he would get to the third from the top and stop cuz he did not know how to go further. Well, he finally figured it out. All by himself.

He is also (as of today) Walking! These pix are from last week it think. He would only stand for very long in the middle of the room if he had something in his hands. His favorite choice being a ball. Or rather Ba
Today he decided he no longer needed something in his hands though and has been trying to cruise around the house. He gets so excited and proud of himself. He usually chooses to walk to me from where ever he is and gives me a big smile and hug once he reaches me. And I'm cheering him on of coarse. He will be ONE next week!!! He is so big already. I'm kinda sad I don't have a baby anymore but a look forward to no more bottles and formula and some day diapers ( i know not for a long while but I can look forward to it any way)

And.. We just had anniv #8 we went golfing and I did really good the first 3 holes. I hit the stupid ball and it went far and straight and in the air like it was supposed to (I've only been maybe 4 times). But after that it all went down hill. I could no longer even hit the *%#@!! ball (Nate says it's ok to swear when playing golf) I did get one good ish shot but it went to the side and nearly hit Nate. He had to jump back to not get impaled by the flying ball.

It was funny as heck though.

Yes I'm still alive...
Things here in Brigham are busy as always but our computer is now upstairs and I have been actually using it! It's so cold downstairs and Di is usually watching some movie and the kids follow me down (of coarse) so they play, like any normal kids would, but g-ma can't hear her shows. And there is SOOO much crap for Preston to get into that I just avoid going down there.
However as I sit here typing this, Preston has noticed the wall size bookshelves behind me and is happily pulling off any he can reach!
I'm camp director in our ward and that is starting to get crazier... I have no idea what exactally goes into planning and preparing camp, and it's all up to Me. I spent just about the Entire day yesterday looking online for ideas and help yesterday (you know aside from getting the kids food, dressed, off to school and keeping Preston out of trouble-which he is god at) I'm very excited to go, I just thought someone would provide some helpful info, like what to expect, or something (like maybe the lady who was camp director last year) I'm l.eaving behind copies of the songbook, permission slips, lists of what to bring stuff like that that are easy to leave in a closet a church for the next director to use. why not make life easier for someone else.?

Any sorry for that...
I am alive though

ARG

so it's been forever since I posted...
First of all, I went to WICKED yesterday!!!!!!!!! Nate WON $25 tickets on row D an hour and a half before the show. We went to Arizona a couple of years ago to see it but we were on the second balcony. I could see their facial expressions and everything this time!!!
We Never have good luck like that! There were 700 people in the drawing and we were one of the 10 names drawn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
each night there is a drawing at the theatre that starts at 5:30 and they draw the names at 6:00 so be early if your try but the tickets are Awesome and only $25 each (you can only get 2) it was Nates 2nd time trying.


We purchased a car on fri. from Low Book Sales. They told us we had 7 days to think about it and bring it back for any reason. (We were not going to buy it and told them we were giong to go home to think about it first) so mistakingly we signed away our lives.
We took it back the next morning, told them we don't want it and they would only let us trade it for another car. THEY NEVER said TRADE! We were told we can bring it back. After trying to fight with them we went to Lindon to get the only car the dealership had that we were willing to trade for. However we still did not want to get it. Tues we got a loan rejection notice from one of the banks and we called them to see what we needed to do.
We were told it was rejected cuz the car is not worth the price (before taxes and all)
another bank did accept the loan but at a higher payment and interest that is on our contract that we signed so now Low Book wants us to come in to sign the new one.
However if there is any way out of it We Will Not Sign It!!!
We just need to know if we can get out of it now...
FUN HUH!!!
