Blue Bonnets

The blue bonnets are here and I couldn’t wait to take Preston out to get his pictures made. We went back to the same spot we took them last year for his first blue bonnet pictures and it still amazes me how much he has changed in just a short year. We went to the blue bonnet field in Sunnyvale and the blue bonnets were stunning. I dressed Preston in some of the new clothes I just got him and I have to say, he looked pretty darn cute. Preston’s eyes really pop out when he wears blue. We sat Preston down in a circle of blue bonnets and to my surprise he wasn’t too happy about it. He didn’t want the flowers touching him and all that he wanted was his monkey pacifier. We tried to hold out giving it to him  but that is all what he was focused on. So I ended up getting a lot of pictures with his monkey pacifier in his mouth, him crying or him reaching out for his pacifier but that is who he is right now and these will make great memories when we look back on them years from now.  
"What is this stuff...?"
Not really enjoying sitting in a field of blue bonnets
 His sexy finger in the mouth pose
 Trying to escape the field of flowers
He's better now that he has Mr. Monkey
Hey, there's a smile
 He wanted to ride this tricycle soo bad
He loves his rocks
We have never seen white bonnets before
More rocks
 Love this picture
 Feeling better about the blue bonnets now

Uptown Trolley Ride

Spring is in the air and I couldn’t wait to get outside and enjoy a fun activity with Preston. I have been wanting to take Preston on the Trolley Train in Uptown for a while and this seemed to be the perfect time. My parents came with us and we grabbed dinner at Mia’s Mexican restaurant (perfect suggestion by Brent) and then jumped on the trolley. Preston was beside himself with the wind in his air and taking in all the new sights and sounds. We raised the window so he could grab the railing and look out. We almost stopped at the new park in Downtown but when we went by, it was very crowded so we decided to stay on the trolley and try the park another time. When we stopped for a few minutes, Preston had a good time running up and now the isle of the train, grinning at everyone as he walked by. It took about 30 or so minutes to make the complete round trip and then we headed home so Preston could get his bath and go night night. What a fun evening!!

This is the face of someone who just realized he wasn’t going for a short trolley ride but a round trip trolley ride
