He Passed!!!

First off, Wayne passed all four sections of the CPA exam!!!!!!! We are both super excited to have all of the studying out of the way.  We will now have a lot more time together as a family which will be so nice.  I am so so so proud of Wayne.  He really showed amazing discipline while studying for that thing.  We found out yesterday and celebrated by finishing up Christmas shopping for the kids. 

The day before we found out about the test was Wayne's 33rd b-day.  Seriously, he's getting old;)  Our awesome friends took our kids from us for the evening so that we could go to dinner.  We did our traditional dinner at Tucanos on Tuesday and will have cake and ice cream tonight with the Lewis fam. 
It was so nice to be able to go out on a date with Wayne.  We were in need of a night out after all of the studying that he's been doing.

In other news we may have narrowed our baby names.  Well these have pretty much been my top three from the beginning but we don't discuss it too much and the other night Wayne put his in order so here they are.

Silly Kiddos

I was having issues with posting on this blog so I have been writing silly things about the kiddos in my written journal.  But since this is our family journal and it will eventually (hopefully soon) get printed I have decided to post them on here.


The Other day I caught Noah trying to clean out his poopy undies in the toilet just like his dad.  It was pretty funny but he also made quite the mess:(
 ***** Reading this back I just realized that it sounded kind of funny.  Wayne cleans out Noah's dirty undies in the toilet not his own:)

Presleigh and Noah held hands the entire way home from the Lewis'.  When I asked if they were trying to stay warm, Pres said to me, "no, we are being safe."

Presleigh told us that the man at the tree lot was a dog because his hat looked like it had puppy ears:)


Noah pulling at his undies, lookings down and saying, "Look mom, my puppet is shaking."


The way Noah says ha ha ha ha ha when he gets away with something or is teasing.  Or when he is playing the mean character from one of their favorite  shows to act out.


Noah tries to stuff all of his favorite little toys into his pockets, and then gets frustrated when they don't fit.


Presleigh likes to get herself dressed these days.  She changes clothes about 3 times daily.  She usually has one piece of her outfit that stays constant, like her favorite skirt or dress but then she changes her leggings or tights and her tops.  She comes up with very creative ways to put her outfits together.  I guess this is probably my fault because I like to put random outfits together too.  I use to try to fight her on it but now I let her dress however she wants, well usually:)


I am having an extra hard time understanding Noah.  He is talking a lot more and it takes me a few times to catch some of his new words.  Sometimes I just smile and say, "that's so cool Noah."  But then he sometimes responds with a, "No, it's not cool mom." like he was being super serious about what he was telling me.


I love the way that Noah talks though.  He has the cutest little voice.  I love it when he says to us "Come and get me,"  when he wants us to chase him or play.  Or when he pulls on my hand or pant leg and says, "Mommy, come here."  Or when he asks me to hold him and then points to another part of the house and says, "Mommy, hold me over there." 


We've been working quite a bit with the kids on their alphabet and each of them can identify almost all of the letters in the alphabet.  Noah is a lot more interested in letters and colors.  He loves to tell me what color things are.  My favorite is when he will pick out letters randomly on things though and then make the letter sound.  Especially when we are on the computer, he will show us where all the x's are:)


They both have the silliest reaction to the word bum and most potty words.  Noah thinks saying bum is hilarious and can crack himself up by saying it over and over.


Presleigh is finally able to buckle her own carseat, except when she has a big puffy coat on.  She can't unbuckle it though which is great.


On Sunday Presleigh wore a cute bracelet to church and it broke during nursery.  She was so sad and kept asking me to fix it.  I told her that it couldn't be fixed and that she would have to ask for one for her birthday.  Wayne and I both told her a few times that we couldn't fix it.  Then while we were having dinner she looked at us all excited like she had the greatest idea in the world and said, "I know how we can fix my bracelet!!!!" and we responded with a, "how?"  and she said, "With teamwork!!!!!!"  It was dang cute, because Wayne is constantly talking to them about working together and using teamwork to get things done.  Plus it is something that her favorite tv say too.  Teamwork was not able to fix her bracelet though:(


These kiddos keep us busy and laughing constantly.  They are so fun to watch and even more fun to listen to.  They are constantly pretending and sometimes we can't tell if they are using their own imaginations or if they are role playing from some cartoon.  Presleigh is like her uncle Devin and has a lot of movie lines memorized.  We love our Sis and Buddy and can't wait for this sweet baby girl to join in on the fun:)  

Our November

I can't believe November is already over. I'm pretty happy that it's over though. It was a crazy month for our family.

I finally stopped working. I had been planning on quitting for a while but never got around to it. I am officially done:) I spent the first part of the month working on tons and tons of projects for the kiddos for Christmas. This was the fun part of the month:) I'll have to take pictures of everything soon. I love having some homemade Christmas presents for my kiddos to enjoy. My plan was to get all of it done by Thanksgiving so that I could focus on real Christmas shopping after that. I did get it all finished but it sort of got me in the mood to keep going so I've been working on some other things like fixing up my house:)

The last couple weeks Wayne took off from work so that he could study for his (hopefully) last CPA test. This was the not so fun part of the month:( He locked himself in our spare bedroom and studied from 7:00 in the morning til sometimes midnight every single day. He took his test yesterday and we are hoping that he won't have to retake it. I am so proud of my hubby and all of his hard work. I cannot even imagine spending that much time going over boring accounting stuff but he was so diligent and studied his little tail off. We can't wait to have that test out of our life!!!

The kids have been doing so well with all the craziness around here. Presleigh has been asking for a while now when we will get our tree and Christmas decorations up. We had told her that we had to wait until after daddy's test. So last night we went and picked out our tree.

I don't know what I was thinking but I decided to start potty training Noah this month. Yeah, I probably should have waited until after Wayne's test. He has been doing really well with using the potty though. I tried to do the three day potty training with him and it seemed to work pretty well. We still have accidents though and this week we've had to resort back to diapers because Noah has had a little stomach bug. He is back in his buzz undies today though:)

Our Thanksgiving was really nice this year. We ate dinner with the Lewis family and enjoyed spending our day with them. I got Wayne to take a couple hours off from his studys so we got to enjoy it with him too:)

I chose to go to Target at midnight for black friday. It was a dumb move because I didn't really need anything there but black friday shopping is sort of tradition in my family. It was crazy and the line was super long but it was still fun:) Goodbye November!!!!!!

A Spooky Halloween

Spooky is one of Noah's favorite words right now. It's so cute to hear him say spooky instead of scary:) We had a very low key Halloween this year. I was all excited to make the kids alice in wonderland costumes but then I lost my motivation and we decided to dig out the costume box. Noah was given this cute buzz costume from my sister and he was super excited about it. Presleigh kept changing what she wanted to be but then found her old Minnie Mouse costume and decided on that. I barely took any pictures:(

We started the night over in the Lewis Family's subdivision. The families in that neighborhood set up their chairs around the park and the little ones just walked around the path to get their candy. It was perfect for our little ones because they were able to walk around the park without getting too tired. It was super crowded though so our little ones were having a hard time getting to trick or treat. At one point Presleigh said to me "Mom, getting candy is hard." After the Lewis' we went back to our own subdivision and walked around one of the loops. By then Noah was super tired and cold so Wayne held him most the time. But Presleigh and Mommy were running from house to house. Then we went home had some yummy hot chocolate and a very late dinner. It was a very very fun night.

Yesterday Presleigh asked for some candy and when I told her that it is all gone, she said to me. "I think we need to do some more trick or treating, to get more candy." Yeah, I wish every day could be halloween!!!

No more monkeys jumping on the bed!!!

The other day I spent a lot of time catching up on house work. I cleaned my bedding and then iron it too so that I would have a nice crisp white bed:) After I finished the kiddos were trying to get on my bed to jump on it. I quickly put a stop to it. But then a little while later I caught Noah being sneaky and quietly playing on my bed. I decided to just let it go and ignore him. Then I hear him run out of my room.

N: "Sissy hurry come here"

N "Sissy hurry come here!"

M: "No guys we don't jump on the bed"

P: "Yeah Noah we can only jump on our beds"

M: "No, we don't jump on any beds, we treat the furniture nicely."

P: "But mom! We don't have a trampoline!"

M: "So, that doesn't mean we can jump on furniture"

P: " Well what are we going to jump on?"

M: "The floor"

Then Presleigh jumps up and down a few times, looks at me and says "That's not fun mom."

She was totally cracking me up. Seriously I wish I knew what went on in their little minds:)

Random Pictures

Noah Playing dress up. I think Presleigh helped him put the neck ties on:) A couple weeks ago Wayne volunteered to take the missionaries up the mountain to Cascade, ID. He wasn't going to be back in time to be with the kiddos while I went to work so he came home right before lunch and picked the kiddos up to take them on a little road trip. We had just watched 17 miracles so I made sure to pack up the car with as much winter gear as I could find and I sent them off. But first I took a couple pictures:)

It was a nice little break for me that day. I was able to start working on my Christmas projects and got a ton of things done for the kiddos.

A Visit From the Shepherd Family

A couple weeks ago my sister Julie had fall break from school so her little fam decided to come visit us for a few days. It is always so fun to have them come visit. We love their family so much and Presleigh and Noah can't get enough of them:) They had so much fun with their sweet cousin Laila. Presleigh asked to hold her a ton and Laila was so good to let her most of the time. Laila was so adorable smiling and laughing at Pres and Noah. I think these little ones are gonna be the best of friends as they grow older. And I think that my kiddos are ready for their baby sister to join in the fun:)

It's a...

GIRL!!!

After having our ultrasound pushed back a couple weeks, we were finally able to go in last week as a family and find out that we will be welcoming a sweet baby girl into our fam at the beginning of March. Presleigh is super excited to have a baby sister and Noah doesn't seem to care that much. Noah actually slept through most of the ultrasound, but when he woke up and saw what was going on he said, "baby." Presleigh was already quite sure that she would be having a baby sister so she wasn't surprised. Wayne and I were pretty confident we were having a girl too.

We do not have a name picked out. We are throwing around a few, but we probably won't decide til baby girl gets here.

She was so cute during her ultrasound. It is totally amazing to me that technology allows us to actually watch our babies while they are still in the belly. I love being able to see her, to get a glimpse of her little personality:) She was totally stretched out for most of it. Her little legs were stretched out completely and every once in a while she would cross her little ankles. We got a nice litte profile shot and her mouth immediately reminded us of Noah's. I had another ultrasound yesterday to measure her. She is measuring right on and is just under 1 pound. We already love her so so much!!!!

So now the fun begins. Lots of baby projects. I probably won't start them until all of my Christmas projects are finished though.

Farm Days

For Presleigh's preschool we got to spend a day at a local farm. Noah and I got to tag along too.
The kiddos each got to pick out a pumpkin and paint it.

And play on a tractor:)

and eat yummy fresh apples.

It was Presleigh's good friend Saylor's birthday last week and we celebrated by playing at a nearby farm. It was a super cute place with fun farm rides and a huge pumpkin patch. The kids had so much fun:)

This is Presleigh with Saylor being pulled by a tractor.

Noah got to ride too. He had just woken up so he was a little stiff on the ride:)

Was Blind But Now I See

My eyes have been giving me some trouble for a while now. I wear the night and day contacts so I have been able to sleep in my contacts as much and as often as I want. But lately my eyes have been bugging me. They had started burning and itching when I would take my contacts out. I have been wearing my contacts less and less and have not been wearing them at night for quite a while because of the burning when I would take them out.

Well last week I decided to wear my contacts to work one night and then I slept in them. The next day I took Presleigh to preschool and I noticed that my vision was sort of hazy. It looked like there was smoke all around me. So after preschool I took my contacts out. The next little while I could see alright, my eyes were doing the burning and itching thing but then it just got worse and worse. By about 3:00 I couldn't even open my eyes because they hurt so bad, and when I did everything was super blurry. I managed to call an eye doctor to see if they could get me in real quick for an emergency but they told me I would need to go to the ER. Totally lame! So then I called my husband and told him that he needed to come home from work because I couldn't see, and I was losing it:) When I was talking to him I tried really hard to open my eyes and tried to calm down a little bit (I was in so much pain) but then I put on my glasses and I still could not see. Everything was super blurry with my glasses on so I started to panic a little bit. I was afraid that my eyes were just going to get worse and worse if I didn't see a doctor. I could not stop thinking of my grandma who went blind when she was in her 30's (I think). I was trying really hard not to think the worst.

Wayne came home, looked at my eyes and we decided to go to the ER. I guess they were really red. We took our kids to the Lewis' and I had Wayne and John give me a blessing. I was finally able to calm down a little bit. Then my cousin John got a hold of his Bishop who is an Eye Doctor and I got to talk to him and tell him what was going on with my eyes. He told me that he could meet us at his office that night at 7:45. What a blessing!!!

Dr. Cleverly numbed my eyes which felt so stinkin good. then he was able to dialate them and look at them. He told us that my corneas were all mashed up apparently because they weren't getting enough oxygen. He said that it was probably from sleeping in my contacts but could also be from my pregnancy. Luckily my eyes didn't have an ulcer on them though. He gave me a prescription and sent me home with some cream to put in my eyes. I thought I was in the clear because I was still feeling good from the numbing but about 15 minutes later it wore off and It felt like needles in my eyes once again.

I had the hardest time falling asleep that first night because of the pain. I never realized how much my eyes move around when falling asleep, but everytime my eyeballs would move a certain way I would have shooting pain which would cause me to jump.

Wayne was the best. He seriously took such good care of me. He helped get me things and guided me as I walked. I couldn't really see for about 24 straight hours and It was terrible. The pain made it extra bad though. I remember asking Wayne if he would take care of me if I went blind, he of course told me I was going to be fine.

Thank goodness he was right:)

Bucky Bug

My conversation with Presleigh today on our way home from Preschool

"Mom there is a fly on my hand"

"Eww Pres that's yucky"

"No, It's my friend"

"Just move your hand to make it fly away"

"But Bucky Bug likes me to be nice"

"Is it still on your hand?"

"Yep, I'm being gentle with it"

"Oh mom, you made it fly away when you moved"

"Oh sorry sweetheart"

"It wants to be my pet"

"Sorry Presleigh but the fly cannot be your pet"

A Review of Our Week

The kiddos and I made some delicious chocolate chip cookies. They love to sit up on the counter and help pour in ingredients. Noah still doesn't quite understand that they need to cook in the oven though. He gets upset when he doesn't immediately get cookies. He does that with his oatmeal too:)

We have the best view of the gorgeous sunsets here in Meridian. We live right in front of an open field so we get to see the beautiful orange sky most evenings. The other night Wayne let the kids take turns on his shoulders so that they could get a good look at the sky. I love how excited they get about the sun setting:)

Saturday Wayne decided to mow the lawn. He said to me "I'm gonna go grab my hat and then go mow the lawn." So of course the kids both said they needed their hats and went and found a couple hats to wear while they went outside with daddy. Yes Noah is wearing big boy underwear. He has gone on the potty a few times. We will see if he can keep it up, or if mommy can I guess. I wasn't really ready for the potty training.

This is a picture of Noah poking at a grasshopper. Yuck!

And more bug watching:)

Here is cute little Noah before church. We were trying to get a picture of my growing belly, but Noah wanted to be in all the pictures. Isn't he so handsome!!!

Almost every Sunday when we pull into the parking lot of the church Presleigh says to us, "Look at all of these vans!" It is so funny.

Noah's new nursery teacher told me a couple weeks that they call Noah the "class president". I didn't really know what this means until this Sunday when his other teacher told me that they tell all the other kids to watch Noah and to be like Noah because he is apparently a good example. I was surprised to hear this because just a couple months ago he was struggling to even go to nursery. I am glad that he is doing better in his new nursery:)

Presleigh is doing really well in Preschool. I can already tell a difference with all of the letters that she is learning. She sing songs from preschool and is a lot more interested in learning new things.

Presleigh's finger is looking much much better. It has a pretty nasty scar all the way around and I'm a little worried about how her nail is going to grow back, but we are so grateful that there was never any infection and that it has healed so well.

Presleigh is now able to get herself swinging on the swingset. She will push Noah on his swing and then jump up onto her swing and pump her legs. She can get going pretty good too. She is such a great big sister:)

We have been busy busy these days. Wayne has been working overtime and then studies after work for his CPA test. He has 2 left and will hopefully get them done by Christmas. I have started working a little bit more, now that I am feeling better.

We have been going for bike rides in the evenings since it's starting to cool down a little. The kids love to ride around the neighborhood, and it gives me a little exercise.

I have been feeling baby kick a little, which is my favorite. I love the little flutter in my belly:) Two weeks until we find out whether it's a boy or girl. I was thinking that we wouldn't find out but I've realized that I'm not patient enough for that.

After putting offers in on a few homes and not getting them we are taking a house hunting break. I was a little sad to let it go but it obviously isn't the right time for us to be buying a home.

Pre-school

Presleigh started preschool last week. She was a little nervous at first but is enjoying her class very much.
Already yawning:)

Our Trip to the ER

While we were in Montana Presleigh had a little accident which landed her in the ER. We were having a family dinner get together and all the kids were playing outside. I was sitting at the table talking to my sister Nicole with Noah curled up in my arms (he had just woken up from a nap and was being needy) when my Bro-in-law Cale brought my poor little Pres inside. She was crying pretty hard and her finger was gushing blood. He told us that she had gotten her finger smashed in the playhouse door. I went to give Noah to my sister but she took Presleigh instead which I am so grateful for because I didn't really know what to do. Nicole is a nurse and was way more calm then I was. I didn't really think it was that big of a deal because Pres has gotten a finger slammed in a door before and it didn't really do much damage. But apparently while Nicole was rinsing it with water in the bathroom she saw that it was really bad. So we loaded up and went to the ER. We wrapped her little hand with a towel and told her that the doctor was going to help her finger feel better, and as soon as we got into the car she calmed down and was fine for most of our ER experience. She even fell asleep for a little while on my lap:)

We sat in the ER for quite a while. This is a picture of us waiting for the Doctor to repair her finger.
This is while the doctor was looking at it. I have to say that when the nurse checked it out it looked like this, not too extreme of a cut across her finger. But when the doctor was looking at it I finally saw what my sister had seen when she was rinsing it in the bathroom, that it was hanging on by just a little bit of skin:( The doctor had an x-ray done to make sure that her finger wasn't fractured which it wasn't,thank goodness. Then a couple hours later they came back in and told me that they were going to put her in a papoose thing and stitch her up. I asked if they were going to sedate her and that's when the doctor said that they could sedate her if I wanted.

Ok this was a tough thing for me. No I didn't want my little daughter to go under with medication, but I thought that the papoose thing would have been complete torture. Not being able to move, getting shots in her wound, sounded like it would not be fun for her or for me. So yes, Presleigh was sedated and got 5 stiches in her pinky finger. The doctor told us that it was 3/4 of the way amputated. I felt pretty nauseous while they were stitching her up, but I'm pretty sure it was because I always feel nauseous these days. Seriously I don't know how my daughter was not freaking out. She was so tough throughout the whole thing. The nurse had given her a few princess stickers and she was so excited about them.

While we were waiting for Presleigh to wake up my mom brought Nicole and I some of the dinner that we had missed out on. It was delicious.

When Presleigh started waking up she was so funny. She looked at me and said "mommy, how come you have so many teeth?" I didn't realize that she was probably seeing double or triple so I just answed "so that we can chew our food." She asked this a bunch of times and just kept making odd comments about my teeth. After she had been mostly awake for about an hour we were able to take her home.

They told me not to let her walk because she would be pretty wobbly for a while which I thought wouldn't be an issue because it was midnight. When we got home though I laid Presleigh down and had to run upstairs to grab some medicine. I told her to stay put and not to get up, but of course as I walked downstairs I saw Presleigh stumbling trying to walk to me. I caught her right before she biffed it.


We had to go back to the hospital two days later to get her finger checked out and this is what it looked like. I thought it looked awful, but the Doc was very happy with the way it looked and said it was healing better than he thought it would. While we were there Presleigh told me that I was a lot taller last time we were at the hospital (I'm pretty sure she meant when she was on the drugs)

This is a picture of the back of her finger after a couple days. this shows how much was really cut.

When we got back to Idaho I took Pres in to get her stitches out. Her finger is still healing and she says it still hurts. I thought it would heal a lot faster than it is.

This was extra rough on Wayne because while all of this was happening he was stuck in Memphis. Plus my phone was dead so updates weren't happening very often. We are just so so grateful that it wasn't anything life threatening.

Montana

We got up bright and early Saturday morning and started our 10 hour drive to Montana. We were hoping that because we left early the kids would keep sleeping for a few hours, but that didn't really work out. They were super good in the car though. Presleigh complained a little about her back hurting and told us a few times, "I can't stay in this much longer," But they were little troopers. Presleigh has mastered going potty on the side of the road, and sometimes I think she uses it as an excuse to take a break from the car. We got to my parents house and had a delicious BBQ.

That night we went over to a hotel and got to see g-pa and g-ma Taylor and the John Taylors who were passing through town on their way to North Dakota. It was totally funny that we were seeing Wayne's family in my hometown. But it was so good to be able to visit with them for a couple hours.

Wayne left super early Sunday morning for his work training in Memphis,and was gone all week:(

The next few days were nice and relaxing. We visited with family and enjoyed delicious food. Sunday I got to see my cousin Ash and her fam which was great. We had a yummy BBQ at my aunt's house. My kids were quite entertained with their cousins. They spent lots of time on my Aunt's trampoline and played tag.

Monday we celebrated my sister Kim's birthday with some of my favorite Mongolian food, which I crave constantly. Presleigh and Noah played with Kim's kids tons. They mostly played in my mom's garden house, which they use as a playhouse.

I found out in Montana that I am anemic which explained why I have been exhausted through out this pregnancy. Luckily a little Iron supplement fixed that right up and I started feeling much better while I was there.

Tuesday was suppose to be a great day. We planned another yummy dinner with lots of family and some delicious peach cobler. All the kiddos were playing outside and I was chit chatting with my sister Nicole when Presleigh had a bad accident:( (I'll post details in another post). Anyway this ruined our fun plans for the night and we ended up spending the evening in the ER.

The rest of the week went by super fast. The kids played a lot on this little motor golf cart. Well mostly Noah. Presleigh was scared to ride it by herself because her first go at it it was in reverse and she drove into a bunch of my mom's plants. But Noah would just sit on it and drive in circles.

I had big plans to work on my kid's halloween costumes while I was there but we didn't end up sewing at all. We did go to a ceramics paint place and the kids got to paint their very own little critter. Presleigh painted a butterfly and Noah painted a turtle. They had so much fun putting loads of paint on them but they were sad that they didn't get to take them home. They had to get fired so we had to leave them there, but i'll post pictures after my mom sends them to us.

Wayne got back into town late Friday night so we had a couple days to spend as a family. We mostly just hung out and enjoyed talking with the fam, and playing games. We left Monday morning. I was super sick for most of the car ride so poor Wayne had to drive the whole way home:( Thankfully the kids were really good on the way home.

I was such a slacker with pictures and seriously only have pictures of the kids playing on the golf cart:(

The Boise Zoo

A few days before our trip to Montana I took my kiddos to the zoo. Presleigh and Noah loved looking at all of the animals. I think their favorite was the butterfly room, which I have no pictures of. I loved watching how excited they would get when they saw each animal:)

Since the zoo is right down by Wayne's work we decided to pick up lunch and have a picnic at the park. It was our first time meeting daddy for lunch which is weird because in Sacramento we were always meeting up for lunch, but we rarely make it into Boise.

Mascara

So this happened before our trip to Montana but I want to get up to date on this blog.

Noah's favorite thing to play with is my mascara. Whenever there is quietness in the house I can usually find Noah in the bathroom getting into my make-up. I know this shouldn't be a problem because I should keep my stuff up high, but my hubby was planning on putting a child lock on the drawer and just hasn't gotten around to it. So instead of a drawer lock we just try to make sure the door stays shut. Most the time when Noah gets a hold of my make-up or any pens around the house Presleigh is the first to come tell me. I guess this time she decided to play with him. I obviously wasn't paying attention to what they were doing and niether was Wayne:( They were playing so well outside in the backyard, well at least I thought.

I was talking to my mother at the time and decided to go check on them and all I saw was a big black mess. It was everywhere, on their face, their legs, their toes, their clothes, the house, the patio, our patio chairs. I screamed when I saw them but then had to laugh and grab my phone to take a couple pictures. Luckily it was cheap washable mascara so it came off pretty good. The bath had a huge black ring around it:)

When I told Presleigh that it was not okay to play with mommy's mascara she said to me, "We were trying to be kittys, but we don't have costumes." Hence the whisker looking lines on their faces. I think she did a pretty good job.

I wish that I could say that we have solved the make-up issue but honestly I caught Noah with it again this afternoon.

Weekend in Pictures!!!!
