Sweet as Pie


Preston is always into everything. Apparently he didn't like the cool whip.

This one is a classic Preston mess. Apparently he loves the oatmeal. He carries all around the kitchen and front room. Occassionaly he gets a measuring cup and bowl and "measures" himself out a bowl of oatmeal. But it eventually all ends up on the floor.

This is Preston with his little cousin Presleigh. Amy was able to come and visit for a week. We had such a good time and the kids loved their aunt and cousin. I have a few more pictures that I will try and post.

The Hair

We have been growing Kendra's hair out for quite some time now. It has gotten really long and dark! Somedays we want to cut it all off but for the most part we love being able to do lots of fun things with it. One of my favorite websites is www.girlydos.blogspot.com She always has really great ideas and shows you all of the steps too. This one is the beach hairdo. She looked like she was ready for a sunset wedding on the beach with this one.


This hairdo is my ultimate favorite. I remember my mom doing this to my hair when I was a little girl. I call it the princess braid, or the crown because it goes all of the way around. You can actually pull this hairdo off without very long hair but since Kendra's is so long it turns out really nicely. And of course, she always has to have that flower in her hair too top it off




I know that short hair is so cute and so many times I have been this close to getting it cut off, but I always seem to talk myself out of it. She will have plenty of time to have short hair, for now we are loving it long.

Catch Up

I have been meaning to post some pictures for a while now but just haven't been able to find the time or the energy. A couple of weeks ago we went golfing for family home evening. The kids had a blast and I learned that I am NOT a golfer.

I call this my picture of my GAP kids. I didn't even ask them to pose. I was sitting down on the grass with Preston and told them to look at me and this is the picture that I caught. These two are too funny!

Preston really suprised me by actually staying INSIDE the golf cart. He loved it and had a blast pretending like he was driving.

We let the kids golf on every other hole. Kendra had to use Ethan's clubs so it was a little hard because they were so short but Josh tried to help.


Ethan did great, of course, he is such a natural. He hit the ball better than me and he is only 4! The funny thing was that I went home so frustrated and ready to never golf again, but by the next day I was calling Josh and telling him that we needed to get a babysitter so that the two of us could go golfing so that he could teach me. It is just one of those sports where there is ALWAYS room for improvement.
