A little Update....


Updates, Updates, Updates....
------
We have been keeping busy with the weather warming up and obviously have not updated in awhile...so I have been told it was past time to post a new blog...so here is what is new with us...
A few weeks ago, Preston received a very special package in the mail from Nina and Papa....He was quite excited it was "just for him" and claims it was a birthday present....nevermind trying to explain to a 2 1.2 yr old it was not his birthday just a present...
As you can tell by the look on his face....he was excited over tissue paper and a card...I think he knew there were "Nina Snacks" inside....
Ashten is now officially a crawler...He has been army crawling for a month or so but he is full fledge moving on his hands and knees and gets everywhere!! I cannot tell you how many times I have lost my 7 month old baby because he can move anywhere in the house now...and he is so small (as you can see) He fits just about anywhere he is not supposed to be!
This Memorial Day weekend we had a special visit by Gramma Chris and Grampa Steve...I am not quite sure where our camera was all weekend because we didn't get any shots with them....but it was a fun weekend nontheless...On Saturday we did a big "family" photo...and on Sunday we went to Tunnel Town...
The kids completely wore themselves out....and Jason and Myself....climbing in and out of tunnels, down the slides and through the ball pits...
----
A man Update: Ashten had his follow up visit with Dr Morris and he now weighs 15lbs 4 oz....She is very VERY please with Mommy's efforts to pack on the pounds....He is still not on the scale but gained over 2lbs in a month and she was only hoping for 8oz....We are going for another 2lbs before his 9 mo checkup....in which he may then hit the scale at 0%...Woohooo!
----
P Man update: He has been busy playing outside and learning to pedal as of late...He is getting much better and is trying so hard to ride his big boy bike papa bought him last year...We finally convinced daddy to put the training wheels on and he will soon be off and riding I am sure!

Happy Mommy's Day!

Happy Mommy's Day
(as Preston says)
-------

Happy Mommy's Day to ALL of my lovely girlfriends that are Mother's themselves....and especially to my own Mother--I hope you had a wonderful day! There is certainly not enough appreciation for Mother's until you become one....so if I haven't said it a million times already-Thank you Mom and I love you!
I, myself, had a beautiful day with my three boys....very low key and relaxing....but amazing just the same. Preston was so proud of this beautiful Orchid he helped Daddy pick out for me...I certainly hope it has a better track record than the rest of the plants that have been in my life!
My boys were very sweet to me and I was not only presented with this beautiful flower, but two cards as well and a wonderful chinese lunch-one of my favorites and then a relaxing movie at home with the hubby while the boys napped. Preston was a slight confused for part of the day as he kept saying " happy mommy's bday"--too cute and hard to correct that it was just a day for all mommies not really a birthday!
I am told I still have shopping to go out and do by myself (oh I love that) and my car is to be cleaned (another love)...but the hubby had to go back to work and there was not enough time in the day....I just loved having the day with them...and not being in a rush for once!
