Summer time fun has begun!
------
Although Summer may not officially begin for a few weeks, I think we can safely say Preston's Summer is officially on it's way!!!
Let's see....
We have been to the Park--Check
We have been to the Pool ---Check
Annual Block Park Party--Check
Sunscreen, lots of Barbeque, lots of friends....yep....Summer has begun in our household anyways....and it is starting off pretty good! We have been to the Park numerous times already this summer...and Preston is a big fan of Swings....and Slides...go figure...same thing Dad says he always loved!
Here is P and all of his friends swinging.....
and going on the merry go round for the first time!
Our first outing of the year to the Pool~stylin in Elmo of course!
Preston wasn't too sure of the water at first but after a little bit of time he tolerated standing at the side...not really much else!
Daddy and Preston
Our Annual Block Party....The Firetruck came again!
Preston, Mommy and Sprout...(Daddy had to work )
Practicing to fight the fire with his buddy Jack-Jack!
Chillin in someone else's chair...fightin the fake fire was a lot of work!
Checkin out his buddy, Ethan's ride...good thing Daddy wasn't around or else this would not have been tolerated...
Here's to hopin the rest of the summer is going to be just as fun!! We're off to see Papa and his family and our buddy Jace....will post more soon!
I have to admit both Daddy and I were shocked he went into the goats cage willingly and even threw them a piece of feed or two! Preston is usually weary of uncertain situations, especially with animals that get too close... He really wasn't afraid though at all of the goats!
He was so inquisitive...well as much as a toddler can be at his age....It was just so fun to watch him examine and interact with each of the animals...calling them by name or talking to them in their native tongue...(quack, moo, chirp..etc)
This farm was very VERY cool, I have to admit...they even had an old school house...fully equiped with a children's desk that of course Preston had to try out...and in case you can't figure this one out...he even tried on the Dunce Cap and chair in the corner...
Probably my favorite activity of the day was feeding the baby goats their bottles...Once again, P-Man jumped right in and had no fears about feeding these guys...Mommy on the other hand was excited but a little nervous...especially when they swarm you for food or you get the attention of an aggressive baby...they want their MILK!
Preston also had to check out the tractor course...Unfortunately his little legs couldn't touch the ground or the petals (not that he knows how to petal yet) so Daddy got a little work out pushing him on the track!
All in all it was as I said in the beginning an AMAZING day...There was so much to do and we spent a good 5 hours exploring this place--from taking the walk on the trails, to visiting the Dairy Barn, Playing on the awesome Playground, watching kids fish, eating a picnic lunch, exploring all the animals to be found...we can't wait to go back again soon...It was such Great day, but a tiresome one at that! 
Mommy is Preggers again!! And despite these two very VERY poor attempts at taking the baby bump photo....IT REALLY IS THERE...and very prominently...promise!
We have no idea--Mommy and Daddy both are baffled that we can see the bump...and the largeness of Mommy's new body...but for some reason the camera is not showing it ...I should really REALLY like this (usually a camera adds 20lbs right) but am confused more than anything...It is there...and all over Mommy's body just like with Mr P....We are definetely packing on the pounds...and lovin' it!
A rare pose of Mommy, Preston and "Sprout" as we are calling the new baby! (Mommy has a tendency to avoid the camera when Pregnant...I will try not to but think this is really only the second or third pic in 20 weeks..)
Preston giving "sprout" a kiss....We are not sure what Preston really understands, but he insists on rubbing my belly everyday and kissing it...it is adorable...as he rubs it..he says..."hi baby"...
Enjoying the "feast" afterwards...notice Preston is sitting on a "big boy" chair and feeding himself...he enjoys doing this quite often as opposed to the highchair...where oh where has my baby gone!!
well almost all of them....it took Mallory a bit to warm up...she was though in fact the only girl there...so she was quite tough hanging with the boys!
He did love the trip---he talks about the BIG RED TRUCKS all the time....and the hat....well looks like we might need to go back and get another one...his is already worn out!
It didn't appear they minded the snuggle time...
Well, Daddy was suprised to hear of the events...he is after all still at work....but would be returning on Wednesday afternoon...the approximate time the Dr told us on Wednesday morning that we would be released as long as Preston continued eating and drinking for lunch...he did great for breakfast.....go figure...isn't that how this story has worked thus far! Well, Preston decided he had enough of Daddy get out of taking care of him...and decided to extend his stay by not eating or drinking anything at lunch....Then Preston was told, he still was going to have to go home after dinner (even if he didn't eat or drink) as long as he hadn't puked....well he wouldn't have it any other way...the dinner tray came in the door...and the smell alone made him puke all over....guess he really wanted to see Daddy in the crib with him....
