One Cheeky Girl!

Our precious little darling is quickly turning into a fiery burst of energy. She has a very bad habit of putting anything choking-hazard size directly into her mouth. She recently threw one of her favorite shoes into the toilet for some entertainment. She has been demanding to wear big brothers clothes for a few weeks now. She really topped herself this last week when she demanded to put on his underwear...instantly transforming herself into SuperNaughtyGirl. By the way, she is available to rent for any of you who think how nice it would be to have a sweet little girl in your home! We're starting to think we were deceived by all of our friends who supposedly have "sweet" girls. Mommy and daddy don't get through one hour of our day without saying "No hitting" to her...unless she's unconscious. Even then, you have to be careful. She recently took her binkie out of her mouth and whacked mommy in the face with it within 5 seconds of waking up.
N-A-U-G-H-T-Y!!

Yee-Haw!

We went to Rawhide...a cowboy town in Arizona while visiting recently. Preston LOVES this place. We go there every time we visit Arizona. This time, all three tough guys rode the mechanical bull: Mike, Tony, and Brian. Guess who won? The police officer, of course! Congrats Brian! Doin' the bull dance! Feelin' the flow! Preston did his own version of the bull dance on the horsie ride and Abby shook her groove thing to the rockin' cowboy band. Yee haw!

An Early Christmas

We went to Arizona to visit Krista's sister and her family recently. We had an early Christmas with gingerbread house making and present opening.

The Polar Express

Preston & Brayden got to ride on The Polar Express with their daddies up to the North Pole. Santa visited the train cars and gave everyone their special bells after hot cocoa and cookies. Such fun!

Shamrock Farm

In our Arizona visit, we went to Shamrock Farm, where the cousins got to see how a dairy functions. They also visited with Roxie, the spokescow and Santa even stopped by for a visit.

Happy First Birthday!

Abby turned one in November...such a big girl! Her favorite things in life are books (reading one page, throwing the book down, then going to get another one), sleeping (the girl loves to sleep...much to mommy's delight), and smacking big brother in the head with her binkie. So much for sugar & spice & everything nice!

Happy 5th Birthday Preston

Our big boy turned 5 years old this week. He had a knights and dragons birthday party with some friends. They played "Pin the Fire on the Dragon," "Storm the Castle," and had a treasure hunt where they had to sneak past the sleeping dragon to get their treasures.
