Man Trip?!

We were invited to go on Davin's friends (a group of his friends from Murry, Utah. Robbie and the gang) Man Trip.  I guess his friends used to go camping for a week every summer with just the guys.  However, now that a bunch of those guys are married now the married guys bring their wives and kids.  But they kept the Man Trip name alive lol  We just went up for a day.( we aren't really campers lol) I forgot to take pictures...ya I am lame.  Preston had a great time playin in the dirt and woods with some of the other kids.  We ate food and really just hung out and played a few games.  It was in little cottonwood canyon...we haven't ever been there before...very beautiful, as with much of Utah.  ;-)

Claire hangin out in the shade with the coolers

Preston got soo dirty...he loved every minute of it!

sorry these are in the car...when i thought about taking pictures.  The campsite had tons of ever green trees and was very shady.  I love all the ever greens!

Preston and Scarlett having fun!

I had stopped watching Scarlett a few days a week in December (if i remember right).  But I would watch Scarlett for Megan when she had a doctors appointment with her OB/GYN in Provo and Megan would watch Claire for Preston's P.T. appointments in Orem (where Seth n Megan live).  It worked out perfectly!

Claire watching them play

these 2 got so focused on building with the blocks...they were getting blocks from  his room for each other and they were so funny!

Scarlett wouldn't smile for the camera but she is still super cute anyway!

It got so tall that I had to lift them up to add more blocks to the top lol

uh oh...its falling!

they were both pretty sad that it was falling over so I fixed it and they continued building ;-P

While they were playing they decided to line up all of the balls in the apartment...including a plush one on the very left.  They are so funny.

Freedom Festival in Orem

I guess orem has this freedom day festival and carnival every year.  Seth and Megan invited us to go to it with them.  We didn't stay for too long but it was pretty fun and had a bunch of kid activities.

Preston fell asleep on the drive there... of course lol

waiting for his balloon animal to get made!

Its a parrot!

We had the kids ride a spaceship ride together.  Preston was acting crazy and kept standing up...it was giving Megan and I heart attacks haha  Seriously tho all they had to secure them in was a very lose metal chain.  yikes!  Thankfully he didn't figure out how to push the button that made it fly in the air.  haha

Scarlett waving!  She got her face painted...the line was long and we didn't think Preston would sit still for it so we didn't bother. haha maybe next year ;-)

then they rode the carousal...I could hold him on this ride lol Then we went to Seth and Megan's to grill and eat some yummy food. ;-P  

Hi, my name is Preston and I have strep throat.

When we got home from church and started making dinner Preston fell asleep...which he never does.    I thought it was so cute.

Put him on the couch and he....

...fell back to sleep.

A day later he got a fever and threw up so that is when I took him to the doctor he had strep throat.  He took a nap that day and woke up for a min or 2 and then was quiet again so i figured he had gone back to sleep.  I walked in and found him asleep again but in the rocking chair...lol  He must have realized he was still tired but didn't want to go back to his bed another 2 feet back...lol

Summer Paint Project

I was looking at some different ways to paint coffee tables on pinterest because our tables are old and well I don't care what happens to them lol but I wanted to do something different with them.  So Davin and I sanded them and used painters tape to make designs.  They turned out ok.  The first red we tried was like a magenta...not what we wanted so we had to return it for this red...which ended up being a little bit firehouse reddish.  Oh well we like them pretty well.  They took so long that we didn't care anymore. ;-P  We are soo crafty! lol

Preston loves driving his cars on the lines lol

Fun in May

Well May was super busy because we moved at the beginning of the month.  With a new baby and a toddler it was chaos trying to get everything unpacked and set up.  With that in mind I didn't get around to taking many pictures of anything haha.  

We finally decided to move because it was difficult for me to carry both Claire and Preston down the stairs.  Preston was a little nervous with the stairs at our old apartment because there were about 10 steps of metal stairs and it is difficult for him to maneuver them. I also couldn't stand not having a washer AND dryer.  Having two kids and having to take our laundry to be dried at the laundromat was just too much.  So we saw the apartment we wanted, signed the lease and then sold our contract within 4 hours.  Then we moved within 7 days after that.  It was all crazy and sad because I loved our old place.  The new place isn't as nice but I love all the storage, washer and dryer, and only 3 cement steps that Preston can climb or even walk up.  I can also easily pick him up and put him at the top of the steps or Claire.  It took me a little while but I like our new place.  

For mother's day Davin got me a hanging basket of flowers That he hung right outside our window.  I also got a scenty warmer.  I am writing this post months later and well...I think we went out or something. lol  ;-)  I am sure it was great! ;-)

Preston wanted Claire to sleep on his CARS couch.  What a funny guy!

Preston lovin his baby sister,

Went to get a drink from my glass of apple juice and what do you know, there was  a car in it.. lol thanks so much Preston!
