Laziness

So, lately I've been really wanting to update my blog but laziness has overcome the moments that are free!! Our family has grown and we are loving it! Little Graham is a precious little guy who is always smiling and laughing. He loves Preston and will do whatever he has to to watch what Preston is doing. Preston loves his baby brother, too. Preston's love may sometimes be viewed as some hard loving....like swinging his swing really high, as they both laugh or turning Graham's johnny jump up round and round! Once Graham can move, he'll be trying his hardest to keep up with Preston. I definitely have my hands full right now!
Tanner has been working on his real estate license and finished all his classes and is studying for the big state exam and getting everything in place for that and working full-time! I've been doing the homemaker thing and realize that there's no rest for the weary :) It's fun and rewarding.
Meanwhile, we are working on getting preapproved for a home loan so we can really start looking for a house. Our apartment lease goes up in February and we don't want to renew, so....we have about 6 months..YIKES!! I am so excited and cannot wait!!!
I don't have any pictures to post because they are all on my external harddrive and we're getting ready to go to a surprise 60th birthday party for my dad...so I'll have to post some pics tomorrow after church!
My sister-in-law Brendi really made me want to keep up better with my blog since I've been loving reading her blog and she has 3 kids so I can definitely keep up too with writing since I only have 2 at the moment! SO...THANKS BRENDI!
Keep checking back and I'll be hoping to keep you updated!!

Random Pictures

Here are some random pictures from the past couple of months like New Year's Eve, Snow days in Denton, and Sunday afternoons for you to enjoy! My pregnancy update is at the bottom :)

The snow was so deep that Preston kept getting stuck in it and at one point he just sat there until I came and helped him out! We got 12.5 inches of snow!!

When Tanner got home from work we went out and played in the snow and sledded with one of our cookie sheets and Preston loved it! It was great...it was late but since the sky was white and the snow was white it felt like 5 pm instead of 7 pm when it is normally dark!

Preston sitting on unfinished snow man...he hated coming inside and would have stayed outside all day if I would have let him...but since it was so deep I had a hard time keeping balance walking in the snow and being pregnant so poor guy...he didn't have a great playmate to play with!!

Lately Preston loves wearing Tanner's hats! Here he is riding his little truck from Santa and in his PJs and Daddy's camo hat!!

Tanner and Preston were so exhausted from church that they both fell asleep on our bed!! So sweet!

I came home from a candle party at my Mom's house to Preston eating popcorn at the table in his diaper! Too cute!

Carissa and Preston in their PJs on New Years Eve...they were playing on Preston's big boy bed in what will be Graham's room. Carissa is 8-9 months older than Preston...but they love playing together!

So, tomorrow I have my next doctor's appointment and it is highly likely that if my blood pressure is high and if I have too high of protein levels....that they'll induce me to avoid me going preecclampsic...which is exactly what happened with Preston and I am having the same exact symptoms as with Preston. Needless to say, Tanner and I have been trying to prepare for our little man to come and have been very anxious because we don't know what will come tomorrow. Tanner gave me a blessing and I was told that Heavenly Father has known since the beginning when Graham is supposed to come and that He has a plan and both Graham and I will be healthy and strong and I just need to have faith. So, I decided to update my blog so I am not thinking about it so much!

Happy Halloween 2009!

Our Halloween was fun and it was nice to go out and be a little family! Preston was a cowboy and he even wore his boots, hat and sheriff star! He was super cute and loved people letting him grab whatever candy he wanted. At first he didn't get why people let him pick candy and keep it, but then he got the hang of it a little and loved holding his candy in his hand. We went to Chick-fil-A for dinner and then to the Trunk or Treat at our Stake Center. Preston didn't get much of a nap that day so he was tired, but he just hung out with us. Tanner carried him around to trick or treat and we gave him a piece of candy every once in a while to eat. We had fun and it was super fun to see Preston enjoying his 2nd Halloween!
