We celebrated our 7th Anniversary today, well ok we celebrated the whole weekend. Shopping and eating is what we do best. I love this amazing man for the wonderful husband and daddy he is. I wouldn't want to be on this journey called life with anyone but him. Happy Anniversary Pratt, I love you.
Don't you just LOVE fall? I sure do. I don't know if it's the crisp air in the morning or the color of the leaves changing, but it's a season I look forward to and hate to see end. We have had so much fun this month so far. We spent Colombus Day with Grandma, Grandpa, Matt and Hillary at Gardner Village. I just adore how fabulous the village is decorated. I wishI could decorate like that. We went on the ride to a witch and ate at Archibald's. Perfect.
Then we went with Nanny and Papa down to the Benson Grist Mill Pumpkin Walk. I feel like a kid when I go there. My parents never missed a year taking us. Presley had loads of fun and the smell of kettle corn made my mouth water. Perfect. On Sunday we went down to Aunt Janet's pumpkin patch in Grantsville. They planted a million pumpkins and we took home 8 gorgeous, orange big ones! If anyone wants some head down Cooley street for the best selection at $2 a pumpkin. You can't beat it. Aunt Jan's house is the best. I love the smell right when you walk in. It takes me back to being a little girl. Perfect.
On Sunday we blessed our little man. Nick did such an amazing job, and I'm so grateful for the priesthood he holds. We had a BBQ at our house after the meeting. Thanks to all our family and friends who came, it made it that much more special! We are thankful for our sweet baby boy and his sweet spirit. He has brought so much happiness to Nick, Presley and myself.
Today was Presley's 1st day at Happy Hearts and Busy Hands PreSchool! She was so excited that she was up at 6:45 and kept asking me "What am I gonna wear?" It was such a bittersweet morning for this mom, I was filled with EXCITEMENT knowing that she was going to have fun learning and making new friends, and a little bit of SADNESS knowing that my Princess is growing up so fast and I wish I could slow it down just a little.

Checking out the classroom
Jett and Mommy didn't know what to do with ourselves during the 2 hours of PreSchool. We are so used to the ball of fire at home that we were kinda bored. I kept looking at the clock and finally when it said 10 to 11:00, I put Jetty in the Bjorn and we walked to PreSchool. When the kids came out they were all wearing these adorable red PreSchool shirts and Presley had a star necklace that said Presley had a Super Star 1st Day! She had so much fun and spent the rest of the day telling me all the fun things she learned. This week they are learing about the letter "A". She brought home an alligator that she made , and she was so excited that Miss Pateresa let her use her own glue stick, she sang me a song she learned and then they had apples for snacks! What a great 1st day!
Presley is such a DIVA! She changes her clothes, high heels, and sunglasses all day long! I told Nick the other day that her room looks like a 16 year old's because there are clothes and shoes all over her bed and floor. She is constantly asking me "What should I wear?" and "Does this match?" We even have fights at bedtime because Pres thinks she has to wear heels to bed every night! It cracks my parents up because I used to (and still do) the same thing. They always say "She's just like her Mom!" That means I'm really in for it! They other day she came strutting down the hall and yelled "Mom I'm posing!" so I had to get a picture. She is so cute and always makes my day Brighter!
This past week I started watching our nephew Jaxton. He is just a little bit older than Presley, and they love to play together. Yesterday for a snack we made mini cupcakes and the kids frosted them. They thought it was fun and Presley thought it would be silly to frost her face!
Our SASSY 3 going on 20 year old! Presley is the light of our lives! She is obsessed with Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers! (Nick is not ready for such teenage behavior!) She loves Shopping with her mom and dancing when daddy plays the drums. We couldn't imagine life without her!
