Pics

Just thought I would post some pics of the kids. These were done a few months ago. They ended up so cute!! Preston hasn't taken any steps since the other night. I think Matt thinks I was lying to him! haha Now he just gets so excited he won't give you time to let him steady himself and try to walk. I am not trying to push him too much because I know that he will be into everything once he does take off. Time to baby proof the house even more thoroughly now!!

The Kids

Preston had tubes put in his ears on Tuesday. He did great!! I was so suprised at how fast it was done. About 15 minutes and the doctor was talking to us. Then about 5 minutes later they came and got us and took us to the recovery area. Preston was crying awful at first. That is the most I have ever heard him cry. He doesn't cry that nuch at all. After a few minuted and a bottle he was much better. He is doing great today. I am looking forward to less ear infections. I know he will feel better as well.

Great news! Preston took his first step last night!! At only 8 1/2 months he is already trying to walk. I was at my mother in laws and she held his hand and when he was steady, she let go, then he took 2 steps towards me!!! It was so cute!! He isn't very interested in crawling at all, but already standing and walking around things!!! Growing too fast!!

Tori has had strep throat this week and will finally get to go back to school tomorrow. I am so glad she is feeling better. I hate the fevers and headaches. You just want to take their place when they are sick. Moving on to better things, though. Will post more later.

Happy Valentine's Day

The things I love about my Valentine's.


The things I love about Matt....

1. His passion for God. He will not let anything stop him from accomplishing what God has told him to do!

2. He is a great preacher. I am still amazed at some of the things he comes up with!!

3. How he just called me out of the blue last weekend and took me to a movie, how romantic!!

4. How he always lets me drive the nicer car. He will always take the beat up car and give me the newer one!

5. His willingness to sacrifice for our family. He will go without for me and the kids. He won't hardly ever buy clothes because in his mind we come first!! He will also work 2 jobs if need be to provide for us!!

6. Wow, this list is longer than I thought!! How much he helps me with the kids. He is a great Father!! I guess I could go on all day!!


The thinks I love about Tori....

1. She has a heart of gold. She goes to the alter and prays every Sunday night. Usually when I ask her what about. She is praying for me, her daddy, or her brother!! She is so sweet!!

2. I love when she tells me, "You are the best Mommy in the world!" My heart melts.

3. I love to watch her sing and dance to Hannah Montana songs!!

4. I love to help her read! She is doing so well and reading it amazes me how big she is getting.

5. I love it when we play games together.

6. She is so helpful with her brother. She will play with him and he adores her.

7. I love that she is the sweetest girl in the whole world!!


What I love about Preston...

1. When I put him in bed he pulls the blanket over his face to fall asleep. It is so cute!!

2. When I tell him to give Mommy a kiss, he opens his mouth and holds real still to let me kiss him!!

3. I love it when he wants my attention or cries when I walk out of the room, I know he misses me!!

4. I love it when he laughs. It is so cute!!


Can you tell I love my family!! I am so very blessed!! God has given me everything I ever wanted and more. I am so thankful for my family. I copied this off of my cousin in law, Amy's blog. Hope you don't mind Amy, I just thought it was such a good idea. Happy Valentine's Day to all!!
