Happy Birthday Preston!!

Just a random picture of Preston when he was a little baby. Preston got a truck, a walker, a book, a ball, a bear, and lots of clothes.

This is a picture of Preston's cake. As you can tell, it got a little destroyed at the bottom. While we were showing the cake to Preston he started to kick his little legs and his foot went right where his name was. Ha ha.

Katelyn was a big helper and was more than willing to help Preston open all of his presents. She even volunteered and blew out his candle. What would he do without her?

Okay so in this picture Preston looks fairly clean. Don't let it fool you, he ate the frosting, then the cake, then the plate. He just couldn't get enough.

Our baby boy is now a big boy. He is such a joy to our lives and we can't imagine life without him. Part of me is sad because I don't want another baby for a long time but then I am excited to watch him grow and experience new things. He was absolutely spoiled for his birthday. Our house is filled with new toys and clothes. Katelyn has claimed his toys as her own and throws a fit if he gets close. Preston is very fast at crawling, has taken steps, can usually take about 4-6 steps in between things. He has 10 teeth and 2 more molars are on the way. We love this boy so much!

Hilarious

This video is hilarious. It is a little long, so don't feel like you need to watch the whole thing. Half way through you see what Katelyn is doing to make Preston laugh. Man I love these kids!

Cry

Yesterday Katelyn told me she was going to die and I got a little sad. Tonight while I was putting her to bed she told me she was going to die and I cried my eyes out. She was saying that she was going to die and she was going to be all sparkly and it's okay because she would still be Katelyn. She even mentioned that she would still have long blonde hair. Is that not scary? I love that little girl so much and I cannot even imagine my life without her in it. She is so beautiful and intelligent. She has such a strong will and personality, she talks all day long, sometimes she drives me crazy, but she is mine and I love her with all my heart. So Katelyn, please don't die. I am going to dry my tears now and try to enjoy the evening with my hubby without my hormones getting in the way. :)

Girls Night Out..

Just decided last night to do a girls night out. If you want to come, call me and I will give you the details. Should be lots of fun!!

Need some advice..

Okay I don't know how to do a poll thing and even if I did, I want to know who is saying what. I am going to get my hair done soon and I am wondering if I should do blond again or go brown. Also I am considering growing my hair out, do you think I should or do you think I should cut it shorter? Thanks. Please help me out on this.

Married to Daddy...

Okay so funny story. I dropped off a thank you note to Lee Read Jewelers for fixing my ring, and Katelyn noticed it was a jewelry store. I told her that was where Daddy bought my wedding ring. I showed her my finger and briefly explained the purpose of it. She replied, "Oh ya, you are married to daddy and so am I." So I snottily said, "Oh where's your ring?" She looked at her finger and replied that she didn't have one but when she gets bigger, she will have one. And then a minute later she replied, "Oh yeah, I do have a ring, it's at home in my princess game!" I love that girl.

I wanted to give a shout out to my in-laws. Stephen's grandparents came into town unexpectedly and it was so good to see them. I absolutely love my in-laws. I have felt so welcomed into this family and I love each one of them. I started crying tonight as we were saying our good-byes because they are both in their 80's and I am terrified that every time I see them it will be the last time. My father in law gave me a big hug and told me how much he loved me. I am so thankful to that man and the fatherly love that he shows to me every time I see him. He always greets me with a smile and we part with a hug. I am so grateful for him, we tease each other all the time, but I know that he knows who I am and loves me unconditionally. I am very lucky.
