Sledding in the Parking Lot

It was warm out (in the 30's) last Monday and so we went out into the complex parking lot and I pulled the boys around in the snow. Preston got a kick out of pulling Damien in the sled. It was a good day!

Damien's cute bear snowsuit!! I love the ears!

BURRR!!

So it was like -7 degrees yesterday, BURRR!!!! Actually when it gets to zero, everything below just feels the same, COLD!!! Preston is not a fan of wearing his winter clothes but has learned the hard way that they are necessary. The other day he refused to wear his gloves and so we went outside and not even 2 feet away from the side door of the apartment building he fell face first in the snow. He starts screaming bloody murder because his hands are now cold and wet from the snow, so yea, he doesn't put up much of a fight anymore when it comes to bundling up!!

Christmas Days

We went to the community center's Christmas Days the first Saturday of this month and had a fun time petting the animals and going on a hayride.

Maybe Next Year Santa...

The picture says it all, Preston is still too little to grasp the coolness of Santa... oh well, maybe next year! (at our ward Christmas party last Saturday)

At least their outfits are posh! I love the argyle socks!!

Preston turns 2!!

Preston's Lucky Dog

Preston loves dogs and by far his most favorite is aunt Peggy's dog Lucky. Lucky is a border collie mix and has come to terms with Preston's stalkerish ways and will allow Preston to feed him leftovers and dog treats. Preston misses Lucky and in fact every dog that we come in contact with is dubbed "Lucky!" by Preston leaving the owners a bit confused. Well as an early birthday present Peggy found the cutest plush dog that looks exactly like Lucky and mailed it out for Preston. He is in heaven, so thank you Peggy!!!

Thanksgiving in Las Vegas

This year we met with Jason's side of the family for some turkey and pumpkin pie in Vegas. We flew in Wednesday night and flew out early Monday morning (and when I say early, I mean early!!) We were supposed to leave on Sunday around 2:20pm but missed the 1 hour check in cut off for NWA (lame!!) and so the earliest flight home for us was at 12:50am arriving at 6:30ish in the morning, yea lovely! It wasn't too bad, pros were that we got to hang out with Brittany and Jeff and their kiddies for a couple more hours, security was a breeze, and both boys slept the entire flight. The cons were that it was a red eye and poor Jason had school at 9 am, so straight from the airport to class. Also to make it all the more adventurous and dramatic, our car's battery decided to die in the parking garage and so we had the wonderful misfortune of trying to get a jump at like 7:30 in the morning, and it was 20 degrees out with a nasty wind chill!! But we made it home in one piece and that's all that matters. We had an awesome time with everyone and enjoyed seeing how much the kids have all grown. Thanks for a great Thanksgiving everyone!!!
