Trunk or Treat

We just had our ward Trunk or Treat. The kids decided to be Jake and Izzy from Jake and the Neverland Pirates. 

 Jason was Captain Hook and I slapped a name tag with maybe on it so "you can call my maybe." I don't think anyone got my costume though. Here I am at 40 weeks pregnant:)

Here the kids are on stage showing off there costumes. Brooke is such a performer and loves to be on stage but Preston totally surprised me by how much he enjoyed being up there. In my opinion he stole the show.

 Trunk or Treating. The kids had so much fun and I loved seeing the excitement in there eyes. Brookie was glowing and so sparkly from all the excitement. I love those moments!

The Kiddies

These kids are just the cutest and sweetest things. I haven't done an update on them in forever so here are somethings I want to remember. 

Right now the kids have become best friends and play so well together. They still have some sibling rivalry but for the most part they really love and support one another. It makes my Mommy heart pretty happy:).

 The kids also both love to kiss my stomach and talk about Brent. They can't wait for him to come. I hope they still feel the same way when I have to nurse him all day long. Here I am at almost 39 weeks pregnant.
 Brooke's face just cracks me up in this one! Here personality is displayed perfectly. Crazy, energetic, and a sweet little fireball all wrapped up into a super cute package!



 This little guy is the sweetest and most awesome boy a Mom could ever ask for. He is at such a fun age. He can talk and say just about everything he wants to (although he has a hard time pronouncing everything.) He loves to do just about anything and is such a joy to be with. He is also so tender and kind. He has such a sweet and special spirit. 

Right now he says all of his "s" words with an "f." So Super Man is "fupper man", snuggle is "fuggle" and so on. I love it when through out the day he asks me to "fuggle" him. Makes me smile every time.  He is really into Jake and the Neverland Pirates and loves to play pretend. He does not like to pretend play scary things as he can work himself up and scare himself. He is still so tiny for his age at 2.5 years old he only weighs 25 pounds. He is going through a non eating phase which always stresses me out but I have learned how to deal with it from my non eating daughter. I basically love him to pieces and he will even tell you that "Mommy and Preston are wuvers (lovers.)

This sweet girl has started to be such a joy to be around. We have had a lot of hard times because of how smart she is, but she is starting to understand life a bit better and although she still is the testiest kid I have ever met she is also such a sweet and helpful little girl. She has such a sweet heart that wants to do what is right and she tries her best. She helps so much with Preston and she is so excited to help with her new baby brother. 
She loves anything crafty right now (a girl after my own heart.) She loves to do anything with another person but really doesn't like to play by herself at all... or do anything by herself for that matter. She is such a sparkly little girl at this age. She loves princesses and jewelry and makeup and her eyes light up so much when she sees pretty stuff. I really lobe her and enjoy her so much!

She is such a talker too and could talk forever to me! This is fun and exhausting all at the same time. I wonder if it will continue into the teenage years.


They both LOVE there awesome Dad so much. I agree with them and think we will keep him around!
