Presley's Chore Board

Presley is now to the age where she is learning that she has to help around here! She loves doing it too, so I might as well take advantage of this time in her life. I made a chore board for her and she seems to think it's pretty cool. I am very excited to get into a routine with her and start using it!

Brothers, Sister-in-Laws, and Cousins

Our vacation to CA to see the "other" Stillmans was back in March, but I just got the CD with our pictures today so I thought I would share them! They turned out super cute. Although the girls aren't always on the same page in the pictures, that is what makes them so cute!

Presley, Miriam and Niah on the tire swing..

All three families...
Wyatt, Lily and Jaggar...Lily was only 2 weeks old here and Jaggar is just 4 days older then Wyatt!...

Oh sweet girl...

Such cute brothers...Kyle, Preston and Lee...

Red, White and Blue

Original plans for the 4th involved the following: Church, My parents house for some amazing ribs my mom makes, and then Tumbleweed park to meet the Smith Family for fireworks.

What we ended up doing:

Our 4th of July started out not so good due to Preston waking up sick and throwing up. He spent the rest of the morning and the afternoon in bed trying to sleep it off so that he could still go with the kids and me to Tumbleweed park.

After a day of rest, he felt well enough (although not 100% by any means) to go and wanted to see the kids reactions to the fireworks.

Here are some pictures of our fun time once we got to the park...

Love him!..

After this fun night, Presley ended up waking up at 2am throwing up until 10:15am. My poor little baby girl. I am SO happy that she got to enjoy this 4th of July though!

Multi Use Pads!

So clearly the only time the HUGE pads are used in when I have had my children. When I say HUGE, I mean the ones that go from your belly button, to the middle of your back, pads. Well...my darling Presley has found another way to use them! How fantastic...at least they will not go to waste!

For your viewing pleasure...Life Jackets for her stuffed animals! So proud ;)

Toy Story 3

Now that it's summer and so friggen hot, we are trying to find fun things to do with the kids that is indoors. Yesterday was Matutu's Island and today was a family trip to go see Toy Story 3. This was Presley's 3rd movie in the theatre and she always does so great. It was a super cute movie and BOTH kids were great.

Jaggar slept for the first 45 minutes and then sat with me and kept himself busy and quiet and Presley stayed in her chair the whole time and ate popcorn. It was very relaxing.

Here are a few pictures of our fun day!

Presley with her Buzz Lightyear...

Before the movie even started...What a good boy we have =)...

Pres and her Daddy...

Watching the movie and teething on Buzz...

Ha, Pres, you are cute...

Makutu's Island

Today we were invited to Makutu's Island by our friends Jaime and Hannah! It was a blast. It took the girls a little time to warm up to the place, but it was a fun time. Presley is still a little small for some of the areas but next year she will be perfect for the place. Her favorite part was the fish tank. Hence the reason all the pictures were taken by it =)

Jaggar really did enjoy the place. He was VERY entertained by all the kids an commotion.

Jamiee and Me...

And he's OUT!!...
After a long fun day!...

Just needed Mommy...

Yesterday as we were sitting in church the dreaded red number came up on the front screen...3803. I quickly left the service to go to the nursery and there he was. Red eyes, taking deep breaths like he'd been crying..it was so sad. As soon as I took him, it all stopped. The reason I post this is so that I can look back and remember this DID happen at one time. I know it's not going to last long. Presley's only going on 3 and she no longer even looks back at us when we drop her off at Sunday School. I thank God that she loves it so much, but I also kinda want her to still want me to be with her.

So, here was Jaggar after I went and got him...What a stinker!

You were faking it Jaggar....(but its ok)
