So here is the deal... my computer is ancient and it takes me a year and a day to publish a post plus I can't find my cord or where to plug it in on the computer to upload my pictures from Christmas. I also find it increacingly difficult to even find the time to sit down at the computer with my active little girl and when Preston is out of town (which is averaging around 2 weeks every month) it is nearly impossible! I am barely showering and when I do I give myself a big pat on the back. With all that said here is an update on my life...
Um...I'm Pregnant!!! Yes that is right, pregnant. We are so excited and I have been extreemly blessed to have a wonderful pregnancy so far. I think it would break my heart if I was sick and had a hard time taking care of Talia. I am due middle of August and I am definately in for it because my two babies will be 17 months apart. Pretty crazy but so exciting!
Talia keeps me busy and smiling! She is an amazing walker and has just recently mastered going down the stairs independently. Now I don't have to buy that baby gate I have been putting off purchasing. :) Her vocabulary keeps growing every day she now says and/or signs over 20 words. Some of her favorite signs are phone, cheese and water. At the grocery store she was so cute when she signed cheese at the check out because she saw the string cheese and was so hungry! Talia has an adorable way of saying bye and hi, it is almost with a southern accent and the bye is usually followed by blowing kisses. Something that I love about Talia is that when she has slept well she wakes up talking and laughing at herself. I feel so blessed to have such a sweetheart for a daughter! I can't believe that she will be a year old next month!
Preston and I keep busy with callings (bishopric and young womens) and try to find time for each other in between his business trips. Other than that things are going well and I promise to make a concerted effort to figure out how to get some pictures on here.

Congrats! My first two are 17 months apart. It was crazy the first couple of weeks, but now it is GREAT! They have their best friend living with them. Good luck with it all.
Yea, you told so now its not a secret anymore. I am so excited for you.
Congratulations! I hope your pregnancy continues to go great. Can't wait for more updates.
Oops...I guess I hit publish more than once.

Congrats Shanda! How exciting for you guys!
Congratulations!! I am so happy for you. Now you will truly see the economic benefit of cloth diapers!! LOL Glad to hear it is well so far.
I am so happy for an update. I have been meaning to call and still will :) Love you guys!
Hey Shanda,
I tagged you. I always skip these, but I thought that this was a pretty interesting one and would be fun to tag all of the sisters. It's my post beneath the one on Tessa. Just answer the questions that I did on your own blog...if you have the time, of course. And you don't even need any pictures to do it!
Congrats! You are a brave woman! But I know you are a wonderful Mom and there are kids lining up in heaven to get into your family, so keep up the good work!
yay, shanda's back! i was hoping you weren't super sick but it sounds like you've already forgotten you ever were! glad for the update!
Thanks everyone for the sweet comments! I am looking forward to the challenge and what I am going to learn from being a mother of two. Here is hoping I can keep both of my children clothed, fed and relatively happy. :)
