Montana

Well we just got back this last weekend from a two week stay in Montana. Wayne is in the middle of tax season so he is always at the office late, so I decided that I needed a little vacation. It was perfect timing because Pres and I caught a ride there with my mother who was in Provo working on wedding plans for my sis. Then we caught a ride back to Provo with my Aunt. I don't think that I could make the drive alone with Presleigh because i'm constantly having to give her toys and treats on the way.

It was so nice to be there for two whole weeks because i didn't feel rushed to see everyone or rushed to get all the things done I wanted. We spent a few days over at my sister Kim's house. She was super Preggers while we were there so i wanted to help her get some things done. Although I have to admit I didn't help her much. But our little one's did get to play together. I also got to be there when she had her little baby Aubrey. What a sweet little baby girl she is.

My mother and I spent a lot of time sewing while I was there. I finally got to make this super cute Amy Butler bag i've been wanting. I'll post a pic sometime soon. My mother did most of the hard work on it but it turned out very cute! I also worked on a couple recieving blankets for the new baby. They are adorable. I'm so excited to find out what we're having so we can start working on the nursery.

I was also able to get a little bit of geneology done with my father. I always promise him we'll work on stuff and then i flake, so i was happy that we were able to spend some time putting names into his PAF.

Presleigh learned some new tricks while we were there. Her uncle Devin taught her to give a high five. Papa taught her to wink. Little Preston taught her how to go down the stairs backwards. Grandma taught her how to cover her mouth when she coughs. And unfortunately my uncle taught her how to pick her nose. She also picked up on patty cake, and she shows us how old she is too.

We had such a good time visiting family, but we were definitely ready to be back home with Wayne. Presleigh was very excited to see her daddy and now runs to him every day when he gets home. She use to run to me when she heard him at the door.

Update

It's been a long time since i've posted anything so I decided I would give a little update. Well for those of you who hadn't heard we moved to Richfield, UT at the beginning of December. Wayne is doing accounting with a friend from college and is really enjoying it. Although there aren't many places to shop, unless you love Walmart, I'm actually enjoying living in this small town. We hope that everything works out so we don't have to move again.

We spent our Christmas in Kanab, with Wayne's brother and his family. We had such a fun time. Presleigh had a blast playing with her cousins and loved her new toys. We love visiting and playing games with Rick and Camie.

We also celebrated Presleigh's first birthday on the 11th. Presleigh loved being able to dig into her birthday cake. As you can tell she was a mess!

The Secret

Here are some pics that i took with my new camera. I picked it up last week from Costco. Thanks to everyone who posted a comment giving me some advice. I decided on the Nikon d60 and I love it. It's kind of overwhelming all the settings and trying to figure out how to use it but i'm excited to figure it out.

Also we were gonna wait to tell everyone but i'm so excited that I can't keep my mouth shut. We were trying to keep it a secret in case something happened but i'm not very good with secrets that are this exciting. We are expecting baby #2! We are so excited for this baby and can't wait to have another little one running around. We will keep ya posted on the new pregnancy.

Teething, Walking, Dancing and Sick

Well Presleigh is just getting over hand foot and mouth disease. It was awful. I thought that she was just teething at first but then she was pretty much crying nonstop so we took her to the doc. He said that she had like 6 open sores in her little mouth. I felt so bad, i know that she was in so much pain, and i kept trying to give her juice to keep her hydrated. Not a very good choice. But i was right on the teething part. She was getting her bottom 2 teeth at the same time as her sore throat. Presleigh just started walking this week as well. She can stand for a long time and takes about 5 steps. She gets so excited when she does, it's so stinkin cute. I wish i had pictures but my camera doesn't shoot fast enough. But tomorrow we're gonna go shopping for a new SLR so i'll post some soon. She's also been dancing like crazy. Wayne taught her this funky dance and so she bends her knees and shakes her bum as soon as she hears music. We had so much fun tonight because the CMA's were on, so she was getting down to country music. We also went and got the second round of Presleigh's flu shot yesterday and now she has a runny nose and some raspy cough going on. Anyone know if this could be from the flu shot?
About that SLR that we're shopping for. I really don't know much about cameras but the Nikon d60 is on sale at costco so that's the one i have my eye on. For all of you who have good cameras please let me know if that's a good choice, I was kindda torn between the d60 and d40. Let me know what you think

Halloween

9 months

I went to Target again to get Presleigh's pictures taken, and I had an awful experience. I don't want to go back for her 1 year pics so I need a new photographer. I need someone who will take her picture and then also family pics. If anyone has any recommendations please let me know. Anyway... here are some pictures

The tutu and the spider

Isn't this tutu so adorable? The three of us were in front of the tv watching the presidential debate, and i decided to make this cute tutu. Wayne was keeping Presleigh away from my project and everything was going good until i saw this massive spider about to attack my baby. It was so fast it freaked me out. So I grabbed Presleigh and grabbed one of her toys and smashed the spider. Then i put Pres down and went back to working on my tutu thinking that my macho husband would dispose of the spider. So Presleigh went back to playing and Wayne continued watching the debate. (Note: my husband is obsessed with politics these days. Talk radio is on all day long and at night we watch fox news.) So i finish the tutu and move to the couch to admire my work when i see Presleigh come towards me from where the spider had been killed. I look around the room to spot where the spider was and it's gone. Gone, can you believe it, you would think that maybe my sweet husband decided to throw it in the garbage or in the toilet or something but no that's not what happen. My sweet baby girl had picked the spider up and ate the whole thing. I could tell that it was no longer in her mouth, she had swallowed it all. I was beside myself. I couldn't even move. I didn't know what to do, there was really nothing i could do, the spider was gone. Presleigh decided to dispose of it. I hurried and called poison control because i wasn't sure if it is safe to eat big ol brown spiders, but they said she'd be fine, thank goodness. This tutu will always remind me of the night my sweet girl ate her first spider!!
