May 2014

This May has brought us many fun outdoor memories now that the weather has been getting warmer. Preston's vocabulary has really gotten stronger over the past few months and he is quickly learning how to put several words together to form small sentences. He has conquered the different climbing bars to get up the playground without having to go up the stairs, he loves to tell you "I ride" when he wants to go for a ride on the new 4-wheeler, he continues to love spending time outside jumping "high" on the trampoline, has discovered the art of chasing the squires around, rides his toys naked any chance he gets and asks everyday after school to "I play" or "park yea" when he wants to go play at the park.

Memorial Day Celebration

We celebrated Memorial Day in the most traditional way possible by having the family over, cooking up some hamburgers and hot dogs, going for a swim and finishing the evening with homemade ice cream. I always enjoy having both sides of our families over and getting to spend time with everyone. Brent stole the show with his expert grilling skills because the food was cooked perfectly!! The kids had fun waving their American flags around and the girls did a special show for us. It was a great day to say the least!!

Touch a Truck

Rowlett was having a city event called "Touch a Truck" the weekend of Memorial Day and thank-goodness Natasha told all of us girls about it because it was the perfect event to take Preston to. The city had all kinds of trucks for the kids to experience and I knew Preston would be the most excited about the big yellow school bus. He did in fact love that one the most and spent the most time in it. He found a window and was completely happy gazing out the window taking in all the sights and sounds of the event. He also of course loved the bounce house and Brent and I loved that it was all completely FREE!!

Preston got to climb on a trash truck, sit in the back of a police car "P-Car" as he calls it, sit on a very large lawn mower, get a cute yellow "plastic" hard hat, sit on a motorcycle like Daddy does and jump on the front of a firetruck with Mommy.

First stop...the big yellow school bus...his favorite!

 Get to touching!!
