Update
I am terrible with this blogging business lately! I just never find the time…though I am on the computer a ton! Anyway, we are just keeping busy. Shaun is finishing up the last few drafts of his personal statement for law school applications…hopefully he can get in some applications soon! Every day there are about three packets of information in the mailbox from different law schools…there are so many options!!! Where do we go?! Well…i guess we need to be accepted somewhere first :) then we’ll figure it out.
I have been pretty busy taking pictures…getting tons of practice! This weekend I’ll take pictures of my aunt and uncle and their four kids! I haven’t done more three people so this should be an adventure. Last weekend I went with the young women and leaders in our ward on a retreat. It was a lot of fun, I think everyone had a good time. We mainly worked on building self esteem and becoming unified…which I think is GREAT for girls at that age.
Preston just keeps getting crazier and crazier! The first thing he says in the morning is “mimi” “stein?” He’s a TV junkie! He’s talking a lot too…when we go to eat breakfast he says “tote” meaning toast and then he’ll say butter…it’s so fun now that he’s saying new words all the time. He says things and I usually have no clue as to where he heard it.
Below is a picture of Preston on his “new” horse. New to him, but obviously not new…I had one of these when I was little, but a neighbor came over and gave us a ton of little kid stuff that her kids had outgrown…this included. Preston got up here all by himself!
PS I noticed “Charlie and Lola” is on in the background…that is the CUTEST cartoon. I watch it just to listen to their accents. It’s adorable. On Disney Channel…
He loves to play with the hose…so I let him go at it, and he always come in the house soaked. I am sure one of these days the hose will come inside too…I am just waiting for that day.

My kids loved their rocking horse, too. I think it is a great toy, especially for eating up some of their endless energy. Always make sure you have a place big enough to take that horse!!!

Thanks for the update, Janelle! It will be interesting to see where you guys end up going to law school. That’s so fun that Preston is starting to talk… such fun times! :)

Great Blog. I loved the pictures – I just can’t believe that he is talking so much and that he can get up on that horse by himself – in my head he’s just a baby learning how to hold himself up and walk when someone holds his hands. I was also glad to get an update on the application status. I can’t wait for you guys to come out here – you’d love it Janelle ;) Love you all!
