Catch up...

Has it really been since father's day since my last post? So what have we been up too let's see. Ash has been busy she went and stayed a week with her Grandma Vanda in Idaho. Preston was kind of lonely while she was gone but he got to go to the movies for the first time and to chuck e cheese and get one on one attention. We did some painting while she was gone and Preston sleep a lot when we painted so that was nice.

The next week was the fourth of July and we went to the big parade and to a bbq. at James Aunt Audine's after. We went to see the stadium of fire fire works that night with my parents. My cousin also hooked us up with a freezer and a computer chair and a few other things. Thanks Bri!

The next weekend we went to James dad's cabin for the night and the next day we went with Robert and Heidi boating and had a blast. We got to see a lot of family we don't get to see very often. Were always glad to see fam anytime we can. I didn't take any pictures of anything though. Shame on me but the top pic is the kids playing in dad's float tube. Adorable I would have to say! hehe

Happy Father's Day!

So I'm a little late on this post but I did try to do it yesterday and got sidetracked.First, I love all the dads out there in my life, and for all that they have done for me . Thanks to James my sweetheart for doing so much for me and the kids. We love our daddy!! Thanks for teaching our kids how to love, have fun and to not take life too seriously. We appreciate how hard you work so we can have nice things to share together at our home. Thanks for everything you do!! Love you!!

Time to fill in the blanks....

Just wanted to write a few things that we have done lately. Ashlynn graduated from pre-school the day before we went to California. I am so proud of her! I still can't believe she is going to kindergarten. She is growing up so fast. She is really smart and right now she is learning how to whistle! Ash also finished her first year of dance. She absolutely loves dancing. It's perfect for her. She is such a girly girl but when it's time to play with the boys she holds her own. Ash is kindergarten ready we went and got her shots(which she hated and cried) but she got a swimming pool for being so brave.

Preston is talking and talking. He has learned lots of new words. I love how he says his own name. We ask him to say ashlynn and it always comes out Ashie. He is 2 now so we get the whole throw your body down on the ground thing when he's not getting his way. We took his crib down and now he is on his big boy bed!! He calls it his baby boy bed. He is doing really well with the change. He still sits and cries for me to come get him even though he can come to me any time he wants. He is singing a lot lately it's so cute.

James has been working and working and fishing when he gets the chance. His job seems to be steady but they have done some lay offs and pay cuts which is scary but he heard there done doing lay offs and cuts. Cross your fingers this economy perks up.

As for me I am in my 25Th week of pregnancy! It seems to be going fast. I'm sure the last month will be slow though. I feel good still. Just barley starting to feel a little uncomfortable and big. Addison is starting to kick harder and I love it! James got to see her kick this week. He also felt her move last night. We are so excited for her arrival I got Ashies old clothes and went through them and found her old crib set and can't wait to get going on getting her stuff all ready for her arrival. Girl clothes are just cuter than boy clothes so I'm excited to use all that cute stuff again!!

So far this summer has been fun and the weather has been cool(which is fine by me). The kids started summer off with Disney land then Ash had a big sleep over with the cousins on my side of the fam. They've been to a birthday party, a kids art fair and last night we went to a parade. Next week the petting zoo!!

Heaven?

Ash was watching the movie All Dogs go to Heaven. She started talking to me about the movie and told me dogs can't go to heaven they can't live at church.

Thank You Terry and Mary!!!!!

We went to California to visit Terry and Mary this weekend. They were the best and spoiled us like crazy. We went to Disney Land!!! We ate at In and Out burger 3 times. We went to Tokyo Wako it was really good. We swam at there pool. We went site seeing around LA. and Hollywood. We went and seen some famous grave sites like Marilyn Monroe, Rodney Dangerfield, Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon(grumpier old men) and many more. I'll post pics of those later. James went with his Brother Terry and Mom to a memorial service and said it was a neat experience. Terry was a super fun Uncle to Ashlynn and Preston.

Ash and Pres at Disney Land meeting the princesses!

Jasmine was Ashlynn's favorite there.

And Sleeping beauty was Preston's, he is so checking her out and he was totally flirting with her.

Can't go to Disney Land without a Pic with the big man!!!

Minnie Mouse

Chillin in the in there backyard was so fun and beautiful.

Aunt Mary helping save Preston's Life since Preston thought he was big enough to swim by himself we made sure after that he was secure.

Ash loved loved loved the pool I am almost wondering if she liked it more than D Land. She swam for hours and probably even more if we would of let her.

They had some cute monkeys and I added my cute monkeys and got this way cute pic.

We had so much fun this weekend!! We loved everything you guys did for us. Thanks for the great time. We loved every minute of it. It really meant a lot to us!!!!!

Mother's Day

I had a great Mothers Day! First I got breakfast in bed, then Preston brought me in a Crown to wear and Ashlynn brought me in a really big card. ( Ashlynn told me everything I was getting last night, she was way too excited ) James spent 10 hours in the front yard getting it all nice & pretty for me and he made the nice breakfast for me too. He also taught the Primary lesson for me even though it was my turn to teach. Thanks Honey! Thanks to my cute kids too! I absolutely love being a mom and can't wait to meet my new daughter too. They make life amazing!

We had a nice dinner with my Mom today too! Happy Mother's day Mom! Thanks for being my Mom I love you! Happy Mother's Day to all my friends and family. Hope you all had a great day.

Its' a Girl!!!

Happy Birthday to me, I got to find out today I am having another little girl. We are so excited!! I wish I had a scanner I would post some pics of her. We are going to name her Addison Michelle Lister. She is so cute ,we totally saw her sucking on her thumb today and got a good pic of it too.
