Newest Project

As fall is around the corner, I am having fun doing projects. ALTHOUGH, with having to move soon, I don't like the UN-homey feeling that I have. Here is another project that I can't wait to put up in the "new" house.

Presley's Penguin "Mumble"

If you know Presley at all, you know that she is obsessed with penguins. This all stemmed from watching Happy Feet when she was younger....and it's never stopped. She still LOVES the movie and looks for penguins wherever we go.

When Pres was younger, we saw that Build A Bear had a penguin so we took her to make one of her own. This is called "Big Mumble" at our house. Well this past week, Preston's mom was here so we were over at his sister's house a lot. One night, after getting home, I get a text from Preston's mom and it reads "A special little girl left a very special toy". My heart jumped into my throat. I could NOT believe that we left Mumble at Jenni's house!!

So, I had to break the news to Presley. She didn't take it too well, but was so tired from the day that she fell asleep too fast that night to think to much about it.

Now morning comes. That is the first time she grabs out of bed usually. So, she asks about "him" and I tell her again that he's at Aunt Jenni's and that Daddy is bringing him home when he comes home from work. She was not happy, but she went on with playing. So mid day comes and it's nap time. She asks about him and I say again about Daddy bringing him home after work. I hear her go in to go to the bathroom before nap and hear her break down in tears saying "Please Daddy, Please bring Mumble to me, please". (He is VERY real to her...not just a stuffed animal..as you can tell).

So, here is a little clip of Pres when Preston brought Mumble home to her!

Presley's Pretties

This last week, Shannon and I made a cute project for the kiddos. I have many of Presley's pictures on the fridge so I thought it would be fun for her to have this board in her own room so that she could display her "pretties" in a cute way. It was quite the eventful day, and it's a good thing Trey and Pres get along so well. They played and played AND PLAYED until we were done with the project. I'm so happy with how it turned out and can't wait to get into our new house and display it in Presley's bedroom!

EXTREME POP ROCKS

Just thought this was a funny little video of Presley trying EXTREME Pop Rocks for the first time with Daddy.

The Little Girl's Day...

Preston's mom is here from NY and got to stay with us for a couple nights. The first day we just stayed home and relaxed and Presley and Jaggar entertained her and today we picked up Tatum (Presley's Cousin), and went to Bounce Jungle and Ice cream. The girls had so much fun.

Presley going down the big slide...
Thought this picture was funny of Pres. It was hard to get a still picture of her because she was running all over the place and having so much fun...
Tatum, Presley and NaNa...
Waiting for their snack...
Cute girls!...
My sweet girl...

Little Jaggar just sat and drank his water. He was such a good boy and did so well watching all the kids play...Won't be long and you will be out there, Son!...
Here are Tatum and Pres going down the big slide...

Sweeties for our Sweeties...

We are very blessed to have Preston's mom, NaNa, here for 2 weeks! Monday, Presley's cousin, Tatum, called her to see if she was going to come over to play and to go to the candy store. So, we ventured to the new SWEETIES store. (If you haven't been there, go there!) They have every candy you can imagine and it's so fun for the kids. So, the girls got to pick out anything they wanted and had a BLAST! Here are a few pictures of our fun day!

After the candy store we went to Yogurtland. This was more for us OLDER girls....but it was a fun day filled with LOTS 'O SWEETS!

These are a little backwards, but here are the girls with their candy leaving the candy store...

NaNa bought them all their candy and they were beside themselves when she was doing it...

This was Jaggar the WHOLE time...trying to grab for Presley's candy bag...

My happy boy...

Pres and Tatum...
Pres and her NaNa...

Once we got to Yogurtland, Jaggar was beat. So he slept the whole time we were in there...

Tatum telling Presley a secret...

Peter Piper with friends

On Wednesday we met some old friends at Peter piper so the kids could play and my friend Liya and I could catch up! It was a fun time and the kids had a blast. I should have gotten a picture of Presley with Nicolas, but I didn't. So, enjoy the pics of my kids =)

Pres won a lolly pop and a leap frog with her tickets...

Playing Air Hockey with Presley..

This is Presley's favorite thing to do at Peter Piper...Clearly, Jaggar's too...
