I have not updated for awhile. I am currently voiceless. I seem to lose my voice at least once a year. Not fun... actually I dread the winter season because that means the flue and cold for me. (the flue shot has never worked like it should) As for Josh he has a perfect immune system (without the flue shot) and has not got sick since we have been married. (I am a bit jealous). We spent THanksgiving up in Idaho. So much fun!! We had everyone there except for Eric and Anneli. One day.... the whole family will be together. WE ATE, Josh went hunting, ATE, played games, ATE, bowled (surprising the Rigby bowling alley was clean), ATE, and enjoyed each other company.... Oh we saw Twilight as a girl outing. Oh I LOVED it.

Preston is really getting such a cute personality. He is so happy and so much fun to be with. We started feeding him and boy oh boy he LOVEs his food, which is no surprise since he takes after his daddy. ;) He is also sitting like a professional. I just love being a mom and watching him grow up.

I knitted this little treasure. Well, I am a little planner, if I may add that tid bit, because I actually knitted this before I met Josh. It was my project that 'one day' I can have my little baby wear it!! And look I had a little boy that fits it. I am quite proud of myself. It only took me about a year to make.

Life is busy around here. Josh is working crazy hard at school and I keep getting put on-call at the hospital. Yes, the economy is even effecting me - a nurse. Who would have guessed? So I spend my days finishing up my schooling and watch FOX news, and of course holding Preston all day.

Oh so I have to add that Josh and I have fell in love with Tyler's recipes on food network. I go to bed thinking tomorrow I get to eat Tyler's enchiladas or parmigiana chicken, or meatballs. He is my fav!!

Oh another Halloween has come and gone. I wish I loved halloween, but it is such a creative holiday and I am lacking creativity lately. I am amazed how people make their own costumes... my hat goes off to you. We were invited to a dinner and Josh wanted to go all out and dress up, but I was running on little sleep from my dear sweet babe who likes to wake up every three hours.... (if anyone has any tips how to get my babe to sleep all through the night I am open ears!!!) I was so tired I mistakenly thought that the butter was actually cheese and took a big bite out of a butter cube. Anyway Josh found this great goldfish costume (which I hope Preston will continue loving me even though I put him in this outfit) which tied us all together as a family :) It was a nice low key Halloween with beautiful weather!!
Oh the top picture is of Josh and Preston going to church. Aren't they just adorable together? Oh and I have to put in that Josh is so amazing because he woke up with Preston last night and fed him so I could get a solid 5 hours of sleep. Hurray!!

This Thanksgiving I am going to play a duet with Melanie, and my mom is going to accompany us. I have not seriously played my violin in 7 years, which is so sad to admit, but I wanted to "show off" for Josh because he has never heard me play. I also thought this was going to be an excellent moment to interact with Preston and show that his mommy can do something musical. Also music can make a baby smarter right? So I waited until he woke up to play the violin. Right when I started playing he had the biggest frown. I comforted him and then started to play... Again he gave me the biggest frown. WHAT??? I thought I played well or I should say I sound appealing to some ears. Well, if you are in the audience come Thanksgiving at church please don't frown at me when playing the violin.

IDAHO..... What more can I say? 

Josh wanted to make Preston into Friar Tuck for Halloween... Well, his hair didn't last till Halloween Day.  Darn because he would have been such a cute little monk.. He was starting to bald on top PLUS he was bald in back from rubbing his head in the back so his hair had to go.  Now I am obsessing that his head is a bit flat since I can finally see the shape of his head. I can now see the plus side of having a bald baby.  It is just like having a new baby because he looks so different, but still just as cute! We are all battling Preston's earache.  ARGH!! It is so hard because I am lacking my sleep. It is now where I realize that I nor Josh nor Preston is sleeping well. Poor little man... the doctor gave an antibiotic and told us to give tylenol and a pat on the back and good luck. We are managing!!

We did our family pictures. Whew!! I so tired after 1/2 hour of taking pictures. Preston tried to do his best, but he was so tired and a bit aggravated that we wouldn't let him go to sleep. In the end the pictures of Preston turned out fantastic, and I am very impressed with our photographer.

He did it!! I am so proud of my little man.

Hurray!!! I am so proud of my little man. I was sewing (which is the rarest thing ever) and placed Preston on the floor... next thing I hear this muffled cry and he is on his tummy. I was so excited I hurried and called Josh to inform him that his son is so strong.

Okay I have mentioned how I am having a hard time going to gym because I would rather hold Preston... Well, I discovered this exercise workout that is PERFECT!! I am saying that out of being completely sore from just doing week one. There are three different workouts and they build on one another. Today I thought I would pass out because my heart has not worked out for awhile. It is perfect for me since I am trying to get back to where I was before having a baby. I love it so I have decided to be its spokeswoman and advertise the DVD.
