Two Months!

I can't believe how fast time has flown by. I want to do a min-photo shoot each month so that I can see how much Preston has changed. Preston is such a relaxed little guy and almost has a bored look on his face most of the time. He is a wiggler when he is awake. I hope that is not an omen for the future. (Maybe its a good thing I am going to the gym) In the past month he has begun to smile more and more. He is always grinning at me first thing in the morning and all I can do is laugh even if it is way to early for me to be awake. He melts my heart with his smiles. He has begun to watch you when you talk and make more eye contact. He puts up with his sister very well. We put a crib in her room and he sleeps through her during the day and she sleeps through him during the night. I am such a blessed momma.

Taytum tid-bits

Our sassy little Taytum started her first dance class last month. She is totally in love and everyday asks when she can go to dance again. She would wear her tutu's all day, in fact we have had several tantrums over not being allowed to wear our dance clothes around the house. She is totally into Princesses. She has princess sheets, a princess quilt Great Grandma Culler made her, a princess dance bag, princess barbies, well you get the idea. She loves her barbies and I am pretty sure if I counted I would hear "mom could you play barbies with me" 50 times a day. She has a very active imagination. She is always playing pretend with what ever is around. She is very sassy, today she told me she was a mean girl. When I replied that mean girls don't have any friends she told me that it was ok she didn't want any friends. She is so funny and is always keeping me laughing by the random things that come out of her tiny mouth. I love all the new experiences that we get to share together but am sad to see my baby growing up.

Preston's Blessing

We blessed our sweet Preston Sunday August 21. It was such a sweet blessing. Josh did a wonderful job. I remember the specific things that he blessed Taytum with during her blessing and was touched by what Preston was blessed with. He truly will be a blessing to me for all of his life and eternity. It was wonderful to have our family there and to see uncles and grandpas and great-grandpa join in the circle. I feel like the words to a primary song "mine is a home where every hour is blessed by the strength of Priesthood power". I have always felt the blessings of having a Priesthood holder in my home and hope that my children one day will realize and have a testimony of the power of the Priesthood.
