Open For Business

After many long hours and lots of hard work Iceberg is open! We did a test run with a bunch of friends and family on January 7th and then opened to the public on the 8th. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported us. So far things are going well, we're really excited about this opportunity!

Christmas Fun

We weren't able to make it home for Christmas, but were still able to have a nice Christmas at home. On Christmas Eve we had some friends over for dinner and made gingerbread houses and read the Christmas story and watched Elf.

Preston and Lorelai were both so excited for Christmas morning that they decided to wake up around 2 a.m. and get me up with them. After I managed to get Lorelai back to sleep, I was also wide awake. I mostly blame it on Preston because he woke me up first because he couldn't sleep and then Lorelai woke up probably because she heard him get up. Eventually, we all got back to sleep and didn't wake again until the sun was actually up.

Lorelai had a lot of fun opening up her presents and playing with all her new toys, she definitely got spoiled this year! Thanks to everyone for all the great gifts!

That afternoon we were able to have an early dinner with The Warren's and their family, then we came home and relaxed and watched Lorelai enjoy all her presents. We had a great Christmas and hope you all did too. Have a Happy New Year!

It's A Girl!

That's right, we're having another little girl! We're excited for Lorelai to have a little sister so close to her, the baby really didn't want to cooperate today so it took a while to get a good shot. We actually have to go do another ultrasound to get the rest of the measurements and angles we couldn't get, but the tech got enough to tell that she is doing great! We can't wait for this little girl to come, now we just have to figure out a name!

Good News!

It's official! Preston and his partner signed papers yesterday, we should have our first Iceberg open on December 29th! I don't see my husband very much these days, but we are both really excited about this opportunity. We hope you all plan to attend the grand opening!

Playing in the Snow!

We got snow on Saturday that actually stuck, so Sunday we bundled Lorelai up and let her experience it for the first time!

Ready for the snow!

She wasn't quite sure what to do with it, but we think she liked it.

Cute Little Lorelai

Lorelai's turn to pick what to watch with daddy





She is getting way better at listening when I tell her not to get into something, but
she still tries with hopes that I won't stop her. She gets into everything!
Trying to look innocent like she's not about to get into the cupboard.

Gotta love the hair!


In my mouth, in my hair; same thing.

Catch Up!

I haven't updated in a while so here's a little catch up. Back in the middle of October Grandma and Grandpa Dixon came to stay for the weekend. They come about this time each year and Ken takes a bunch of classes for work to stay certified.

Lorelai had tons of fun playing with grandma while grandpa was in his classes.

Then, the next week is when we went to Arizona and celebrated Lorelai's birthday. Lorelai and I were there for a few more days than Preston and we were able to spend a lot of time with all the family. The first day we were there Lindsey had her baby shower, but I didn't take any pictures. We were also able to go over to Nicholas and Jackie's house and see their new baby girl.

Josh and Addison napping!

Brooklyn giving Lorelai a hug. It was fun for Lorelai to be able to play with some of her cousins while we were there.



Of course, as tradition the girls got pedicures and even Lorelai got to join in on the fun this time. Mom, Tara, Janet, Lindsey, Lorelai and I were all able to go, too bad all the girls couldn't be there. While the girls got pedicures a few of the boys went golfing.


It was fun to be home for a little while and see all the family and even a few friends, too bad I didn't take more pictures. I'll work on that next time.
