New Toys!

New Toys!

-----

New Toys have been keeping Mom and Preston quite busy these days...It seems that Mr. Preston adamently believes that he must check out and ensure ALL of his toys are in working condition every day atleast twice a day! Thus ensuring that Mommy stays extra busy putting each and every toy back away throughout the day! So much fun....atleast for Preston that is!!

Although we haven't had too much of a chance to use his new sled, he did enjoy the one day we got to go out and play in the snow....and when I say we--I mean Mom and Dad....Preston wanted nothing to do with the snow...unless it was viewing it from the sled!

One of the most popular new toys atleast for Mommy and Daddy is the new Basketball hoop....We have a game of horse almost every day...Preston's favorite move is the slam dunk...followed with a high five....He is taking after his Mommy as she is the undefeated household champ....He loves to cheer me on and antagonize his daddy when we win...

Always a hit is a book....and we finally have a bookshelf for the young man...and he clearly does not like how Mommy organizes the shelf...He likes to reorganize it every day to Mommy's despair!

Yes, we have a police car now...Mr P likes to patrol the basement with it and flash the sirens whenever there is any infractions going on (or to simply get our attention and have us push him around)!

And finally, what would you do without a good lawnmower in the basement....got to keep the carpet nice and green!

He does love them all...and this is only a small sample of the new products that have filled our household since the holiday....can anyone say "spoiled"....oh well, we wouldn't have it any other way...Who can resist this little guye--we sure can't!

A Great Holiday!!!

A Great Holiday!!!

----------

We had a "Great" Holiday in Iowa with our family this past week....but unfortunately came home with a little more than just awesome presents....Preston came down with a horrific cough, ear infection, and a down right nasty cold....Therefore the reason it has taken us so long to post new pictures (sorry!). The P man is on the mend now with the help of lots of drugs...yeah!!

Before we left town, Preston had to check out the "AWESOME" free train at a local mall....He even talked a few of his friends into coming out and riding it with him...He did suprisingly well...Daddy and Mommy thought for sure once the train started to move...P would be out of his seat trying to escape...think he was too awestruck in what was happening to move...

And what would Christmas be without a visit to Santa!! Once again, Mommy and Daddy found a great deal...A "FREE" Santa...are there such things anymore?? YEP! The experience was much more fun for P waiting in line than when we actually sat him on Santa's lap...Although he must have told Santa exactly what he wanted bc he got it on Christmas Day!!

Preston was also quite amused with all the wonderful lights of the season...We had to talk a quick walk through this wonderfully lit park! (Yes, Daddy and P are in the picture..can you find them?)

Then it was finally up to Iowa to see all of our family...and boy...I am not sure Preston knew how much Family he did have!!! He loved playing with all of his cousins and getting loved on by the Aunts and Uncles, Gramma's and Grampa's! Above Madison and Ainsley....and below Cousin Aiden!

Preston also thought he was pretty up town when his Aunt Maggie gave him his own wine glass for the toast (non alcoholic of course)...Mommy and Daddy thought it would be best if we help serve it though...no broken glasses at other people's house!

Another Christmas tradition is of course, heading off to church with the family...Preston got his best "duds" on and we would have to say the best looking little man around! He obviously thinks so too!

After Christmas, he FINALLY got to see what was under Nana and Papa's tree...nevermind he already had presents at his other Gramma and Grampa's house...He really wanted what was under this tree...he begged and begged but they would not let him touch one until after church...so he just looked from his favorite ground view...

On Christmas Day, Santa came and before he could try out his great Santa gift...he wanted to go up and see his buddy Jace...and give him a xmas gift and birthday gift...Although, Preston was happy to see Jace--he was not happy sharing any presents with him..We've got to work on him not being a bully...look at the stare down!

Before heading home...(to MORE presents)...we had to check out the Awesome Sleigh Santa brought...He LOVED it!!! Here Papa is zooming him down the street....

Thanks to everyone for making Preston's 2nd Christmas one to remember!! We'll post some great pictures of Preston and the new presents he received...He loved opening them and keeps looking under the tree for more...sorry kid ...you'll have to wait another year!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Just wanted to share a little Christmas Cheer with everyone!!!

You have to love a cute Santa!!!

And we are loving the excitement Preston is having with the Tree and all of the presents underneath!!

"Pretty" as Preston tells us!

Yes, he is a Momma's boy...He is snooping under the tree almost daily....trying to determine if more presents have been added overnight!

We are heading out of town to spend Christmas with our Family in Iowa and wanted to wish everyone a very "Merry Christmas"! We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family in our lives....We wish you all the very best this holiday season!!! Have a safe and happy holiday!!

Winter Fun!

Winter Fun!!!

Preston and Mommy have been extremely busy this week with lots of Winter Fun Activities....On Sunday, we went to a WONDERFUL Cookie exchange party in our Neighborhood...It was Wonderful all except there was a table full of cookies and Preston did not understand why he couldn't eat all of them....He pretty much hung around the table the entire time and begged for someone to empathize with this sad pathetic look and crockadile tears....Poor guy...life is rough!

We also had a Holiday Party this week for his friends from the BFSG group...although they really need a new name...any ideas? Preston hosted at his house and it was lots of fun....they actually sat for a decent group photo for once....

They also had a secret gift exchange...Preston loved his book and puzzles from Mallory....thanks girl!!

We also managed to talk the kiddo's into posing one more time with Mommy...My, my...what a difference a year makes!!! I can't believe we have been meeting weekly for over a year....Preston is very lucky to have such a great group of friends...(Mommy too!!)

This is pretty much the end of the "cooperativeness" for the day...After mounds of sugar from the cookie exchange at this party... they all went on a high...and went a little nutty while destroying the house!!! We love our friends, but Mommy has to say she quite enjoyed the peace and quiet when everyone went home....and Preston went down for a nap...

Santa Baby!!

Santa Baby!

Okay, this post goes out to my boy--Jacer!!!

This is how Santa Baby's do it in KC !!!

Turkey Day!

Turkey Day!

Our Turkey Day post is a little late...Unfortunately Turkey isn't the only thing Mommy and I got on Thanksgiving...Grampa was kind enough to share his cold with us too!!! We are on the mend though and thought it better late than never to share some of our adventures over the holiday!!! We had a great week visiting with lots of family and eating way more turkey than you need in a year!

Gramma Chris had all of her sister's over for Thanksgiving and of course, they all loved me!!! Here I am with the four lovely Auge girls~Julie, Me, Maggie, Mary and Gramma Chris.

And lots of sister's meant, lots of second cousins.....I had a great time wrestling around with them...And one night, we even went to the lighted parade....It was freezing outside!! I was pretty amused by all of the lights and not really sure what the hype was about, I let out an "oooo...and aaa" a couple of times to make mommy happy!

But as much fun as we had, I was ready to go home after five days....I just missed my bed....and my good afternoon naps!

Nana and Company are gone!

Preston had another very busy weekend....Nana, Papa and friends of the family Algien and Ed were in town...and Preston LOVED the attention!! (of course) He had a great time showing them around town and taking them shopping and eating.....He even enthused gramma with adding her name to his vocabulary--NANA....unfortunately for grampa--there was no PAPA uttered....oh well...maybe thanksgiving!

Getting a little "blushed" by all the attention....no more pictures mommy!

Preston was spoiled by Nana and Papa as usual....although he had to learn the art of sharing when one of his presents was taken back....and given to Algien and Ed's grandchild instead...He is such a good boy! He was carried an aweful lot by Nana and Papa and wasn't too certain when Papa got him close to this crazy lady...notice the death grip of his hands on Papa's shoulders

Nana and Papa were not the only one's spoiling P this weekend...seems he can sweet talk anyone into reading a good book!

Thanks for coming to visit....we hope you had a good time and can't wait until you come back again!
