Once again it's been forever since I've posted something new. We have been busy with a lot of house projects since the new year. We figured it was now or never with our new little "Girl" due in May and Preston will be busy with Scout Camps all summer long. Not to mention our Ward Camp Out that I'm in charge of. This should be fun with 3 kids under 4 and one of them is only a month old. Wish us luck!!
Anyhow, back to the house projects. We finally (emphasis on the finally) painted our bedroom, and of course the kids had to help out. I figured I better let them help as much as possible since I remember that "will to help" usually fades away when they get older. Here are a few pics of them painting with us.

(Why is it that once you give a child a flashlight, they stick it in their mouths?)

This past year, Abigail has been going to preschool and she loves it. And most of all, I love it. I love to see her excitement to show me everything in her little backpack. It's so cute!!!! I am amazed at home much she as learned so far. From her letters, colors, writing her name to even memorizing the pledge of allegiance. This past December, she went on her first big field trip to the Living Aquarium. That is a fun place. I even was amazed at all of the fish and the fact that you can touch live sting rays. Awesome! I think my favorite part though was the jellyfish and maybe the kids reaction to the octopus. Abigail was terrified. She wouldn't even stand near the tank to get a picture next to it.
