Presley's First Owies :(

So our girl is not so little anymore. I feel like there are stages in the kids lives that all of a sudden I realize how much they are growing up. This last week I got one of those for Pres.

Our family was at the park and there were a couple other moms there with their kids. They were all playing alone at first and then I looked over at Presley at the end of the slide and she was BELLY laughing with another little girl who was about 4 years old. I thought "now seriously, what the heck could they be laughing about?". I went over and heard the little girl saying to Presley, "Are you really 4 years old"..to this Presley answered "Yes!". Oh geez. Apparently this was funny to them. Then a few minutes later, I am standing talking with Preston and we look over and Pres is standing with 2 other little girls having a "conversation". Preston and I looked at each other in shock. How can our little girl be standing with a group of little girls talking and understand each other? This just came WAY to fast.

Our little girl IS growing up.

So, this picture below is not the worst thing you will see, but for Presley, this is. She talks about it quite a few times a day and has a band-aid on it at all times. Poor little Presley.

Jaggar eats rice cereal!

So, today (3-15-2010) is the first time that we have tried rice cereal with a spoon. Definately a new experience and I must say, he's doing quite well. It's bitter sweet. I love the new stages, but it's hard knowing that he's growing up and not going to be a "baby" for long. :(

Although Presley and Jaggar are not that far apart in age (2 years 3 months), it felt like I had never had a child before when Jaggar was born in some aspects. I can't remember a lot of things and have to look back at Presley's baby book to see when she started doing things. Presley didn't ever really love rice cereal, except for when I put some fruit with it. Jaggar seems to really like it.

Here are a few pictures from his first "real" meal.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Just a festive picture of the kids for St. Patty's day. Didn't want them to get pinched! Hope everyone has a great day!

Ostrich Festival

Today we went to the Ostrich Festival. One reason was because is so nice out, and the other was to celebrate Mom's birthday early (March 16th is the actual day). SO, we all met over at my sister's house and set off to Tumbleweed Park. It was a BLAST! Its was so nice being out. The little boys slept most of the time, and Presley and Logan played and ran around all day!

Happy Birthday Mom!

My 2 Boys

I have the cutest boys.

I really sit and think sometimes how blessed I am to have Preston as my husband. Not only is he an amazing husband, but is is an AMAZING Dad as well. Presley says many times throughout the day "Daddy does that" or "Daddy says that". It's so nice that Presley recognizes that her Dad does and says things that she likes or thinks is funny.

Preston is the opposite of me in so many ways. He is SO layed back, calm, doesn't worry, doesn't over-react, patient, etc. Like I said, the complete opposite. I am all of those things and SOO wish I could be more like him. But somehow...it works perfectly for us.

I just thank God for bringing him into my life and giving me my beautiful children. Below is a picture of Preston and Jaggar in their Supper Man t-shirts. I am excited for Preston that some day he will get to teach his boy all of the things that he knows. I am sure his sister will want to learn them too....

I AM BLESSED!

There are a lot of pictures below because I couldn't decide which to put on here. I love my kids and am so happy the pictures turned out so great. Enjoy!
