A little late, but still fun

Paige got these Easter Bunny ears when she got her picture taken with the Easter Bunny at the mall. She wore them off and on for about a month. She gets very attached to things.

Super Easter gifts!! We sorta let the kids pick their own gifts this year, but told them we'd let the Easter Bunny know of their choice. All I can say is the Easter Bunny and Santa are incredibly smart. How do they know?

This is a great picture to let you know Preston's character. He is such a tease. Let's do a little dialogue to see what's in the mind of this little boy, "I know I'm not supposed to touch this pretty flower, but I'll just get as close as I possibly can before mommy threatens to pinch my leg and when she says one ... two ... thrrrrrrrrrrrr ... then I'll suddenly move my hand and laugh and everything will be fine and no harm done." Yeah, Preston, don't think I don't know your little trick!!!
And let's not forget an illustration of Paige's personality. She is soft and sweet and pays attention to details. By the way, these flowers are compliments of Doug. He got them for me for our anniversary. Kudos to you, Doug.

I couldn't resist adding this one - it's so cute. Paige and Preston love when their cousin, Benjamin, comes over to play. We took them all to the mall to ride on the carousel. That is always the highlight of a visit to the mall. It's fun for mom and dad too because it's great to see them get so excited and be so happy. Paige always rides the blue dragon. Unfortunately, Preston has begun choosing the cat each time. Can you say meoooooow? Believe me, Preston can. And cats lick you to give you a kiss.

A Beautiful Model

Paige loves to set up a shot and have me take her picture. These are some of her favorite toys. I think she is the best part of the picture. I'll let you be the judge.

Can you guess who this is? Yes, it's Paige, but who is she pretending to be?

The only way I could get this picture was with Paige asleep. Go ahead, take a guess.....

If you guessed Curious George, you'd be right. Paige puts these boxing gloves on for monkey feet and walks around the house "talking" like Curious George does. It's basically squeeky monkey noises. We love you, Curious.

Dad is so proud of ME!!

Isn't our little boy cute? Doug was NOT PLEASED with mommy letting Presty put on Paige's boots. He yanked them off at the first chance and then let us enjoy the screaming as Preston let us know of his displeasure at not having the boots on anymore. Thanks, Doug. But seriously, isn't he cute?!! He's so proud and happy as a clam to be wearing pink boots.

Uh ... is this right? Very well, I accept ...

An AWESOME book

A friend of mine recently told me about this book. I like to read books other people tell me are good and OH MY GOSH. It is such a good book. I can't recommend it enough. I read it in 2 days.

A Distant Prayer: Miracles of the 49th Combat Mission by Joseph Banks and Jerry Borrowman

It is about ... "Joseph Banks, a young Latter-day Saint and lone survivor of his plane that was downed during a dangerous bombing run over Germany on his 49th mission - one mission away from going home. A prisoner of war, Joseph overcame impossible odds to mount a miraculous escape and return safely to his wife and young son."

I have never read a war book, but I was on the edge of my seat reading this one. It is full of amazing adventures. If you are wanting a good quick read, pick up this book. And, of course, let me know you read it so we can share our thoughts.

Presto's latest quote

Preston saw an "owie" on my arm. He pointed it out, "Mom, owie? I kiss it." He gave my arm a big WET kiss. Then he touched my arm, "Oh, wet, mom? I fix it." He walked into the living room where a very small toy kitchen was. He broke off the sink part, came over to me, turned on the sink and washed my arm with the little scrubber. "There you go, mom, all better."
