Me and the kiddo's

Not much to say with these pictures other than I love being a mom. Yes, I get stressed, want to pull my hair out, scream, run away, and whatever else. All in all though, being a mom is the greatest thing in the world. It makes me so sad to think that in 2 years Preston will be in kidergarten and Audrey will be Preston's age. I want them to stay young forever.

The big Northern

Last night Craig, Preston and I went canoeing while my sister watched Audrey. We had so much fun watching Craig reel in the Northern. One jumped right by our canoe, which was really scrary.......I thought we were going to tip. Preston was in such shock he couldn't even say anything.
The bottom pictures are of the first one he caught, and the top pictures are of the bigger one. There is an even bigger one than those 2 out there that we saw but that one is yet to be caught.

My sweet little Preston

I haven't posted pictures of Preston in awhile but that is because he is always running around I can't get him to slow down quick enough for pictures.
Here is some fun facts about him:
~Still loves guns
~Into light savers now............big time

~Sweetest little boy you'll ever meet!!!!

Audrey, the busy little bee

Well, here is my little 1 year old being her busy self. I seriously can't get anything done anymore. She doesn't ever stop! She climbs on everything, gets into everything and is so quiet about it too!
Some fun facts:
~Talks all the time. She is now up to about 15 words.
~Walks around the whole house while holding on to the wall........etc.
~Hates wearing clothes and gets her shirts off now.
~Helps me empty the bottom rack of dishes in the dishwasher.....don't worry though I take out the heavy stuff and breakables first. I tell her "thank you" after each piece and if I don't,she makes sure to say "thank you".
~Is learning her facial features. And sometimes gets all of them right when asked. Her favorite is her eyes. She pokes at them and says "Eye, Eye"
