The Latest

There hasn't been too much excitement here lately. Preston has been busy with Iceberg and Papa John's. We feel very blessed by how well Iceberg is doing, it has started off even better than we expected, Lorelai has been busy getting into everything and trying to learn as much as she can. Emily is enjoying the blessing of being able to stay home with Lorelai everyday.

I thought she was just getting toys out of the drawer

until I came over and found her sitting in it!

Lorelai loves helping with anything she can, including the dishes, I guess

she thought standing on it would get help get the job done quicker.

Lorelai is such a girly girl. She carries her purse around all over and loves to pretend she is talking on her cell phone. She has a fake lipstick in her purse that she pretends to put on and loves when mom pretends to put her make up on her.

She has a plastic knife that came with a food set she got, but she thinks it is a comb and tries to comb her hair with it. She loves bracelets of any kind and decided that her red bath toy ring was better suited as a bracelet. She will keep it on her wrist all day long!

I can't wait until it gets just a little warmer so Lorelai can play outside, she loves to stand at the back door and loves to go outside. Here she is watching the hail storm; she thought it was so funny!

I tried to get a better video of Lorelai wrestling with her bear,

also a favorite activity of hers, but this is the best I could do.

Back to Az.

Lorelai and I went and spent some time in Az a couple weeks ago, we had a great time visiting everyone and enjoying the great weather. We were able to go to the zoo and the McCormick train park and just hang out with all the family. Lorelai got pictures taken with her girl cousins and we were lucky enough to be down there while some of the Maynes family was there. I also got to see Tyler wrestle for the first time ever. Lorelai was definitely worn out by the end of the trip but we had a great time, we just wish Preston could've come with us.

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.
