Fu Manchu

For our anniversary, we celebrated a day early. Pat and his buddies go on a yearly hike/camp out to the White Clouds. This year they planned it on our big day... so we celebrated on the 2nd and had a fun night.

We went to Olive Garden for dinner. Yum. We had the best waiter, he sent us home with a bag of bread sticks! He even put my lemonade in a to go cup without me asking. Who knew that was an option? I've never had a waiter do that before.


We came home and rented a movie from Redbox. It was so nice to have a baby along for the ride. It's interesting how I used to love having a night out with just Pat and I. Now it means so much more to have little Ledger with us. I'm sure in the future we'll love babysitters, but for now I don't mind one little bit to be attached to my little man.



I surprised Pat with a smoker for our anniversary. I had no idea how well it cooks meat. It was probably the best present I've ever bought anyone. What other present would make my husband happy to cook for me?


Yes, that is a fu manchu... and yes he has some gray hairs mixed in there! Right before Pat took off for his trip, he walked out looking like this.


I'm so not a fan of facial hair, and definitely not this look! He thought it was hilarious, especially the little spot that doesn't grow any hair. I told him it needed to be gone by Sunday, or his father would be the one blessing Ledger. :)

(Don't worry, he was sick of it by the time he came home. The first thing he did when he walked through the door was shave it off.)

While Pat was away, my Aunt Cindy invited me to their new cabin in Island Park. Their cabin is beautiful! We had a blast with so many family members. We went and saw Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at the Playmill Theatre, and I was finally able to meet my cousin Tyson's fiance Malia. I got home with one picture- Tiana and I with our little ones. We had the same due date, but I went two and a half weeks early. We got stares when we were huge and pregnant together, and we got stares while holding Ledger and Emree. :) It was fun getting together with everyone, thanks for the fun weekend!

    You are absolutely beautiful! I love reading your blog even though most post make me sob. I have a 7 month old little girl and I would die if anything happened to her so everytime I read your blog I put myself in your shoes and I don't know how I would do what you have done. Not only are you so very gorgeous on the outside but on the inside as well. Congrats on 4 years! :)

    this may be too sensitive of a topic...but i couldnt help but notice you made a comment about having a babysitter for ledger in the future. i have a friend whos child passed away while under the care of a sitter (choking accident) & she will never have sitters again. wasnt preslee being watched by others?...does it make you nervous to have sitters again someday? i would love for my friend to have a break and let even someone close like me watch her kids for a day but i dont think it will ever happen. advice? also many of her relationships within her family have suffered, do you find this happening to you? encouragement to pass on to to my friend or others?

    Still laughing about Pat's facial hair!
    And I love that pic of you and Ledger. You look gorgeous!
    And what a great idea for a gift, something that makes him want to cook you dinner. I love it!

    Totally off-topic, but where do you get your hair done? You always look so fabulous and cute in all your pictures! I've been on the hunt for a new stylist in the Rexburg area but I haven't found anyone I like.

Hi, we're the Sullengers! Life turned upside down for us in 2010 when we lost our daughter in an accidental drowning. Since then, we've documented our highs (life with all five of our kids) and our lows (struggles with grief) but amongst everthing we've experienced, we know as long as we hold on to one another we can get through anything that comes our way.
