Another Preston Photography special

Preston collects airsoft pellets which he calls BBs. My brother had an airsoft gun in Texas and so Pres was always finding the BBs around the house there. Now he is hooked on them. He keeps them in a glass jar and decided to take a picture of them a while ago. So instead of just taking a regular picture, he put the glass jar on the carpet, grabbed the camera and set it on top of the jar so the lens was inside the jar and just started shooting away. The things kids think up? I should think more out of the box like him when it comes to my photography. I thought it turned out pretty cool.

To Nap, or Not to Nap?

Gotta love this little snuggle bug even if she is a stinker and doesn't like to sleep at night. I am trying the no nap thing although I really don't like the idea. I love my 2 hours of quiet time when both my kids nap. However, I also love to have my nights start at 7:30 instead of 9:30 when Ma finally gives in to sleep. I am finding though that my 3 year old needs naps and requires more sleep than my 2 year old. Who would have thought?!

Merry Christmas

I know, this is really late, but here it is! We went to Idaho Falls for Christmas. It was a nice and relaxing time. It was just Ryan's parents and our little family for Christmas morning so it was nice to have that one on one time with them. The kids slept in until about 8:30 (due to late nights before Christmas), we got up and opened a few presents, called my parents on the webcam so they could watch us open their presents, ate some breakfast, and finished up opening more presents. Ma was super happy with her barbie band-aids from her stocking, her blue horse rainboots from G & G Malmberg, and her tutu I made her. I loved her outfit when she had it all on! Pres was super excited about his cars and his race track. It was a great Christmas.

FHE Graham Cracker Houses

We had some friends over for FHE and we made Graham Cracker houses with the kids. Yes, we did just make some in Idaho Falls, but it was so much fun, we decided to make more! The kids all had fun, ate a little more candy than they put on their houses, and it was nice to talk to the grown ups too!! Thanks again for coming!!

Go BSU!!

Some friends let us use their Boise State tickets a couple weeks ago. It was fun to be there and be in the excitement of everything. But, it was SOOO cold. Needless to say, we only stayed until halftime. Also, BSU was killing the other team, so we weren't too worried that we would miss anything the second half. Thanks again Billy & Megan!!

Beautiful Idaho Sunsets

Ma's Eyes

Mikayla is my child that does not like to sleep. She doesn't like to sleep for naps or night. She does anything she can to keep moving so she won't fall asleep. Often times we have to hold her tight so she can't move and then she gives in. The past couple nights she has told me, while blinking her eyes, "My eyes no work". Meaning, she can't close them so she can't fall asleep. What a silly girl. The things they come up with.
