Preston in Daddy's wrestling singlet. He knows a lot of moves and is only 2! Check out his awesome wrestling stance!
Cute Eva smile. 
Preston and Daddy at BYU.
GG with Eva and Preston. Check out Eva's smile! Preston is just checking out the food.
Eva is now pulling Preston's hair -- she gets him back sometimes!
These are random, not in order of when they happened, stories. I haven't written down all these cute things and I know I already lost some!
Eva is crying in the car on the way home.
Preston: Eva, it's okay, Eva. Look at the sky! Look at the sky! (Arms spreading out in a circle and upward as if to motion her to look up).
Eva: keeps crying.
Preston: No crying, Eva! Be HAPPY!
Eva: cries louder
Mommy: Don't yell at her to be happy, that makes her sad.
Preston: Sing her a song mommy!
Mommy: Let's both sing her a song. (I start singing "oooh, oooh, oooh" so Preston can join in).
Preston: Oooh, ooooh, oooh...
Eva: ooooh, ooooh, ooooh
No kidding, really happened....so SWEET!
I tell Preston all the time that he will never ride a motorcycle. He is completely enthralled with them and every time we see them on our way back and forth to BYU, he shouts out "Can I ride a moto (Portuguese for motorcycle) mommy!?" mutliple times. I always say, "Nunca, nunca" --meaning "Never, never."
Daddy is driving. Preston sees a motorcycle.
Preston: Can I ride a moto daddy!? Can I ride a moto daddy? . . . Mommy diz "nunca, nunca!"
("diz" means "says").
Yesterday, Eva is taking a nap. Preston suddenly decides out of the blue: "I need to go see Eva." And so he walked all the way downstairs. I lifted him up and let him see her in the crib. He is just so cute.
Preston calls the doorbell the "dingbell" and I don't correct him. It is just too sweet.
He will typically ask "Can I want some..." whatever he wants. I have answered "You can want whatever you want, but it doesn't mean you can have some." But that answer doesn't satisfy him.
Eva has perfected the half trick, I will have to get a video soon.
Preston: Where's Daddy?
Mommy: Daddy is at school.
Preston: Daddy's at school?
Mommy: yep.
Preston: Daddy's at B-Y-U?
Mommy: Yep, Daddy's at BYU.
Preston says all the time now, "Can I go to BYU too?"
Preston is big on "Can I touch it?" lately as well. Whatever "it" is, he is asking "Can I touch it?"
We watched "A Night at the Museum" on our laptop with Preston the other day. A couple days later, Daddy picks up two pennies and shows them to Preston. Preston takes them and starts to put them in his ear.
Preston: Goes in my ear! See?
Daddy and Mommy: Don't put it in your ear.
Preston: It's in my ear, like the movie.
Mommy: What movie?
Preston: Like the movie on the computer! See? (Still putting it in his ear).
Mommy: Oh! Magic like the guy did on the movie!
Preston: Magic! See?!
We then instructed him on how to put it behind his ear, instead of in his ear.
Preston: Can I go to GG's house? ... Can I want some licorice?
Mommy: Maybe if you ask GG nicely.
Preston: Like this...Pleeaase...Pleeaasse, can I want some licorice? Like this, mommy!?
Mommy: Yep.
Preston: waah, waah, I cry like Eva.
Mommy: Eva is gonna get you! (I then chase him around the house, holding Eva out in front). (Eva giggles a little while chasing Preston). (Chase ends by Eva jumping on Preston and tackling him to the ground).
Preston: Eva scare me again! Eva scare me again!
There are more stories. I cannot remember all the cute things!
Then, not so cutely....
Sunday we won the Most Irreverent Family award. Daddy took Preston out of the chapel two or three times, I took Preston out two times and Eva out once. Daddy also took Preston just to the back of the chapel and Preston yells: "Mommy! Can I go out the door?!" across the chapel. When the sacrament prayer started, Preston started throwing a tantrum, screaming at the top of his lungs. Then, when the beautiful song in the middle began, Preston shouts: "Woooooo!" in obvious approval, but still...loud.
By the end of sacrament I really was wondering why we had come. But we made it through somehow. Then, to make our award official, during Priest's Quorum (the men's meeting), the Bishop stood up and said how proud he was of "Kevin's wife" and Kevin for switching the kids back and forth and making it through sacrament meeting and gave a short little discourse something like this "times like these are when you want to just throw in the towel -- they aren't getting anything out of it, we aren't getting anything out of it, why not just leave? But they stayed it out. So I just wanted to say good job."
Pretty crazy day. I thought it was pretty hilarious that the Bishop noticed how incredibly over the top Preston was that day. I really did almost go home after sacrament meeting -- I was feeling sick, but we ended up staying for all three hours of church.
Anywho, hope you like the randomness of this post.
