Sweet Moment

Tonight, I was getting ready to put Preston to bed and I had brushed his teeth and given him some milk, (but not in that order) and I put him down and sang him his song, Families can be Together Forever. I went and relaxed on the couch for a couple of minutes when I realized that I had forgotten to change his wet diaper before he went down. So, I went back in and he was laying crazily in his bed in an odd position and I told him I needed to change his diaper, thinking he would wake up. I picked him up and he laid his head on my shoulder and I just told him loving words and telling him how I forgot to change his diaper and I laid him on the changing table and he was still asleep!! I thought for sure that taking his little shorts off would wake him up, but nothing did! Not a new diaper, or diaper cream or even snuggling his pants back on!! He was DEAD asleep!! So sweet! He was tuckered out and so tired! SO I picked him up and laid him back in bed and covered him up and he didn't nudge! So precious! Tonight will be a long night with Tanner stripping and refinishing a floor for Ace's Bar....He probably won't be home till near dawn....ugh! I better go and get some sleep so I can take care of Preston while he sleeps tomorrow! I just had to share that cutesy story! Ohh and he's a picture of PReston after he ate every single bit of hershey chocolate bar that Tanner gave him (only 3 break offs)!

update!!

Here are some pictures from our Wisconsin trip! We have so many and I will keep updating with more pictures! here are a few favorites!! Below are more updates! ENJOY!! :) Preston playing with one of my 2nd cousins husband! He went straight to him and loved playing peek a boo with his sunglasses...after about 5 minutes he realized that he didn't really know him and he quickly escaped!! So sweet! All of the men and boys there all were very entertained by Preston and when they left they always said goodbye to Preston. Some of them even shared their icecream cake with Preston! He was the star!

Cutesy Daddy Son moment at the rock pond of Fred and Dellas with a cutesy little boy with a fire engine hat on and a water hose!

My Great Uncle Fred's fire truck that he put together and remodeled. He even drove it in the 4th of July parade and it made it to the end of the parade unlike past years when they had to push it through the parade for parts of it! It was way cool! FD stands for Fred Dartt. He was a volunteer Fire Chief in the city for years and years.

Preston and Grandma Dartt, my Dad's mom at Chili's. That was our first night in Wisconsin and Grandma was so impressed with Preston's eating habits! He ate like it was going out of style!

Preston and Mommy at the hotel before we left to pick up Daddy at the airport! YAY!

Well, in the Blankenfeld family there have been some major developments in the recent months! We went on our first official family vacation with Preston, we found out I was pregnant, and morning sickness has reigned what we do everyday and anyday! It's been crazy! Little Baby Blankenfeld #2 is due in late February and I am officially 9 weeks along, 1o weeks on Monday! I've been super tired and very sensitive to smells...Tanner has been awesome, helping out with things that I can't do and just don't have energy to do! We are super excited about our little baby!

Something else that's new is I am totally loving Twilight series! I read New Moon and am almost done and I started like 3 days ago!!! SO AWESOME!! I can't wait for the new movie! Lately Preston, Tanner and I have been enjoying playing at home and being together. Preston loves being outside....which I don't always...but we try to go to the park at least every other day! He is our adventurous little sweet boy! He now gives kisses and makes the smooch noise when he wants one!! SO precious!

Cute story....He loves closing his door to his room and so one morning I went to be the human door stop and laid in his doorway and played with him with his toys. Next thing I knew he went to the living room and grabbed his blanket off the couch and came to drap it on me like I do with him before he goes to sleep. Then he left and came back with the bigger blanket from the couch. Lastly he went back and grabbed me a pillow and gave it to me. He then proceeded to go grab some books to read from his changing table and then came and snuggled him close to me so I could read to him! I wasn't feeling that great and he always has this second sense when Mommy doesn't feel great. So we laid and read books! He is so precious and I can't believe he is almost 15 months old!!! AWWW!! My baby is growing up!

Our First ER Visit

So, today was a crazy day! We planned on going to the temple and letting Mom and Dad watch Preston, but that soon changed around 9:40 am! Tanner was at the church building helping to set up chairs and vaccum the hallways. I was at home with Preston just playing and getting ready! Preston wanted to get on his rocking horse and I put him on it and turned my back and poof he had fallen off the horse and hurt his front, top middle tooth!!! Blood was every where and I was freaking out! I called Tanner and told him to come home immediately. His tooth had flipped up in his mouth near his lip and it wasn't loose! I immediately gave him some tylenol and he calmed down when I let him play with my phone because he was hurt! He loved it! So, I called my sister Meredith to ask her if what to do. I called Care Now and they told me to go to the ER. We went and the doctor and nurses were so nice. The Dr. told me they were going to push the tooth down and then up into his gums! He said that they weren't going to numb the area with a needle, because it would be easier and faster to just do it and the needle would probably hurt more.....SO the dr. and 2 nurses came in to help hold Preston down and perform the procedure. I held down his body and arms...poor little guy! He made it through and was so good! He is on a soft food/drink diet and has to take antibiotics to ensure that no infection occurs. We are going to make an appointment to see a dentist on monday to check it out!!! Being a mom is hard work! I just wanted to take the pain away from him and hold him....He came home and went straight back to his rocking horse....to make Pa proud. He fell down, but got right back on!! :)

He can't have any bottles or soothie for a couple of days and so we thought...I guess it is time to wean him! So, that was our Saturday morning!!! ALso, one of the nurses was Ruthann Wilde from 3rd ward so it was nice to see a familiar face and she helped us out and gave us some good info on dentists and that he will be fine...even if the tooth falls out...it just means he might be toothless for a while until he gets his big teeth in!

On the other hand, we bought our first car together this week at Jim McNatt dealership! I researched online all of the dealerships and their used car inventory to see what fit in our budget. Ended up all the cars I was interested in were all at one place! YAY!! I made a notecard for each car and put the specs etc on it! We test drove like 5 cars and the last one was it! It's a 2007 Chevy HHR LS. It is midnight blue with dark tint and only 38,000 miles! We got an awesome deal! I now drive in style!

Well, that's our drama for now! I am making Preston his first big blanket...a john deer one! I'm pretty excited! Just have to start it...yikes! Our family is great and loving every second together!
