and her.

Love her.

These two...

These two are my little muffins....who keep me on my toes. Kella is now 10 months old, and she's all over the place. She's not walking yet, but she is such a busy body! We love her so much, and is such a bright, happy child to have in our home. Lilee, is a fiesty, sassy, such a sweet girl. She has a great heart, and is super smart. This girl knows what she wants and isn't afraid to get it. Sometimes this results in major tantrums, lots of crying, and complete craziness. But this is what makes Lilee- Lilee. She is one sassy chick, and I don't know what I would do without her in our lives. She is such a great girl! I love them soo much!

Just ordered my christmas cards from Shutterfly! Im so excited! They will be sooo cute! anyways- thought I'd let you all know that it really did work, and it saved me like 62.00. I had to pay like 8 dollars for shipping is all! WOOOWHOOO

Shutterfly christmas cards...

So every year I make my own christmas cards, but this year I am so excited because I was looking on Shutterfly's website, and they have the CUTEST Christmas cards, and they are giving bloggers an opportunity to get 50 FREE cards this year. I have used Shutterfly before in the past, I made a book from my Alaska trip, and it's so awesome. The quailty is great, and I can't wait to use them this year for my christmas cards.

They have quite a few cards that I love...now I just need to pick which one to use! Here is one of favorites...

Happy HaLlOwEeN!

Treasures I found at the DI

I have this new addiction. Making old things new and funky. I don't know why, but I can not stop. lol. I think it relieves some sort of stress maybe? My husband tells me I need to stop bringing home other people's junk, but I seriously can't wait to see what I can find next...! lol. so, with some imagination, and spray paint, you can turn trash into treasure! =) Here are some of my projects...beware, the colors are alittle funky.

This frame will be perfect if I can ever find a picture big enough to put in it! I guess we better get a family picture taken one of these days....


This table cost me 5 dollars, and going to be a storage space for all the kids toys in my living room!

This tabel is going in my basement for toy storage also....this is alittle bright, but I do love the detail. This is sort of alittle funky, but Im going to do my basement colors Turquoise and orange...so we will see how it turns out!

a couple months ago.

These pictures were taken a couple months ago, but preston's aunt just tagged me in them , and I wanted to share them. My girls are sooo cute! I can't get enough of them!

Kella Bug

Kella will be eight months on the 27th...I think that's tomorrow...I can't believe she will be one in four short months. CRAZY. Anyways- just wanted to post some pics of her, she's getting soo big, she wanting to crawl sooo bad, but not quite there. Im sure this week sometime. Anyways- here she is!

My monkey goes to Preschool....

Lilee started Preschool again this year...her last year before Kindergarten... She was soo excited she couldn't stand it! It wasn't fun waiting until September 7th to start, it seemed soooooooo far away for her. She is going this year to Heber Valley Elementary, they have an awesome preschool program, and she is acutally doing a program where they teach spanish for an hour at the end of every day! SHE LOVES it, and I think it will be an awesome opportunity for her. I want her to do the duel emmersion program they have for Kindergarten next year, so it will be a great advantage for her to get alittle head start! So other than that, fall is here. I LOVE fall time! School is crazy busy, Im thinkin' Im completely CRAZY for doing 6 classes at a time. Anyways- that's all that's new in the life of Amber Probst, just thought i'd share these cute pictures with you all. LOVE HER!

Summer time

Summer is slowly coming to an end, and Im kinda torn.....is that good or bad? Well, school starts for Lilee soon, she has one more year of Preschool...which Im super excited for her start...she will be going 4 days this year, and that's WONDERFUL! so that's good. But school starts next week, and I have to admit, this week sure has been a nice break! I have done absoulety NOTHING with my time, wish also has been WONDERFUL! but Im not excited for my new 6...yes I said 6 classes to start this fall, fall meaning next week. It will be good to have this next semester of school over with. But Im also glad summer is over, because I got Math 1050 over with! I dreaded it soo bad, and it was actually not that bad at all! Anyways- I love Fall and Winter time, so I think Im ready...bring it on! =) anyways- nothing new other than that, I will have to take some pictures of my growing kiddies and post them soon, but for now....good night!

ohhhh and p.s. I got a new cell phone. Im not sure the new number, but will post it tomorrow-

Happy Birthday Babe....

Tomorrow the 16th is Preston's bday. Just wanted to wish him a happy 29th birthday, and hope he has a FABULOUS day, (live it up, it's the last year in your twentie's) We sure do love him, and we would be completely lost without him in our lives. We love you babe. ohhh, and last week we had a scarey thing happen. Preston got hit in the face with a line drive straight to third base. It hit him just right (just right meaning, no broken nose, no broken teeth) but he left the hospital with 15 not so awesome stitches in his upper lip, and had a really, and I mean REALLY swollen face for about three days. We are so glad that's all that happened, it could have been alot worse. So if you see him around, don't worry, I don't beat him....=) it was just slight misunderstanding with a softball. Love you Preston, hope it feels better soon.

WARNING: GRAPHIC picture...sorry. was that too much?!

This is sooo GREAT.

Blogger Award

Amazing Blogger award

My friendliest friend...=) just tagged me in a fun little post. Just wanted to thank Mind for the awesome opportunity I have to brag about myself for a minute! lol.

Terms of this award: must list 10 things about yourself, thank the person who gave you this award, and pass it on to 10 wonderful bloggers.

1. I am absolutely a huge TWILIGHT fan! I read the first three books in 6 days, the fourth book in two days....I've seen all three movies at midnight, and waited in line for the books and movies all hours of the night....just to be part of the maddness! I {heart} edward!

2. I like teeny bopper shows like "A cinderella story", and "what a girl wants".

3. I love to sew and do anything crafty. Me and my girlfriends are always looking for something fun and exciting to do...from starting little businesses making baby stuff, to deciding we were cleaver, and making the cutest magnets EVER, spending all kinds of rediculous money, just to have fun.

4. I've recently discovered that I am the funnest to be around in the early early hours of the morning....like in between 12-4 am....=) that's when I am at my finest....! maybe it's a combination of me being totally awesome, and having a great friend who is willing to do crazy things with me! =)

5. Some times I feel alittle alone in the world, but then I remember how many people love me, and how great life truely is. I have just about anything I could ask for...except cable tv and a cell phone....=( sometimes there are more important things in life...!! Like maybe buying groceries and paying the mortgage! hehehehehe.

6. I love going to school. Even tho it's tough juggling kids, and preston, Im sure....is sick of "babysitting".....I love going. It's great to be doing something for me...for being me...and feeling like someday I will have a college degree! I can't wait to be done, a long road ahead, but totally worth it when I finish.

7. I seriously do have the funnest friends in the whole world...I'm sure of it! Mine are way better than yours. I have friends in all kneck of the woods, and Im so very grateful for each and every one of them.

8. Im not much of the out doorsy type....I love being outside, but only after about 5 oclock when it's not soo hott, and you can actually enjoy it. Preston loves the outdoors, and Im sure if I got more acquainted with the bugs, and dirt.....we would have alot more fun!

9. I love Disneyland, and can't wait to take preston someday. He hasn't been since he was in the 3rd grade...and I know he will love it. How could he not!?!

10.....saving the best for last....Im totally in love with my cute little family. Even tho sometimes things are not always peachy, Im totally grateful for all that I have. I have a husband who I love and who takes very good care of our family. He does all he can for us, and I know he loves us very much. I have the fiestiest four year old you've ever seen, but I love her too pieces. She's a girl who know's what she wants in life, and goes after it until she gets it! She says the funniest things ALL of the time, and is always keeping us on our toes. She's thinks a princess....and loves to paint her nails, and get her hair done! =) My baby kella is full of smiles, and we are so blessed to have her in our lives. She seriously makes us all laugh, and has brought us so much closer. Her blue eyes twinkle every time someone talks to her and she grinns from ear to ear!

The ten people i tag are: Becky, Kailee, Shanna, April, Crystal, Hilary, Lori, Traci, Kira, and Chelsy.

two of a kind

I {heart} this movie.

June 13th...one year.

Last year, on June 13th, my mom passed away from Cancer...mulitple Myloma...I can not believe that it truely has been one whole year. I have a strange feeling inside while thinking about this. I miss her alot, and everyday I wish I could still call her, see her, be her support when she needed it most. Going through that last year at such a young age was one of the hardest trials I have ever been through. losing your mom at the age of 26 is a terrible thing, I can't image being any younger. It makes me sad that she will not get to my children as they grow older, and that Lilee and Kella will not know her. I remember I had just found out that I was pregnant with Kella one week before she died. I was thinking to myself...how I am possibly going to take care of my mom and be sick and pregnant on the couch puking...I was terrified, my mom needed a lot of assistance and it was a really hard thing to have to go through. My mom was living with us at the time, and I am soo very grateful for the time I had with her. I will cherish those last couple of months FOREVER. I miss my mom everyday, but I know I will see her again.. I actually am going to be doing her Temple Work next Saturday, and extremely excited to be doing that for her. I can't wait! Im sure the spirit will be sooo strong. I have not been to the temple in a long time, and am looking forward to the experience I am about to embark on. I know my mom has been despartely waiting. Anyways- I just wanted to remember her for a minute on blogger, and like I always say, I can not believe how fast time truely does fly. It's scarey.

My two beauties...

I {HEART} these little girls.

school....

This first block of summer is almost over, and Im soo excited...although the next blocks starts right away! Im glad that I got one block done and it's not new anymore. Just life and something I need to get use too! I do love going to school tho, it gives me sort of....my own identity. No one knows my husband and kids, and it just kind of lets me be me...if that makes sence. Not that I don't like being connected to my family, but I like being me also! we will see how the rest of the summer goes, I have only had math this block, and it's been SOOO super busy. Trying to learn a Math book in 6 weeks is NUTS!

Nothin new.

Here's a couple pics I took with my cell phone, nothing new lately going on, I started school again, so that has kept us pretty busy! Anyways- these girls are cute, so here's a couple pics.

Chubby Babies make me happy....

Love them.

Not too much happening lately...

we came to vernal a couple days ago, and lilee has been playing outside nonstop with the nice weather. I traced her with chalk and when I came back later that day she had drawn hair, a dress, braclets and a face on it, and she said "Im pretty, huh mom!" It was sooo cute! Here is some more of our sidewalk art, and a quilt I quilted while I was here too. Then here's just a cute little shot of Kella Bug...

Today was Kella's blessing day...Preston did such a great job! Im so grateful to have him in our lives, he's such a great dad! Anyways- Kella looked so cute in her dress, and I love this one with the bonnet. She didn't wear the bonnet, but it looks cute in the picture! LOVE HER. so glad she's part of this little family.
