we've been busy!!!



















Wow.. time flies when you are busy!! So sorry it has been a few weeks since my last post. I told you i would not be punctual at this!! :) We have been so busy this summer.. good busy though. Preston had swimming lessons for two weeks (mon-thurs) June 23-July 3 at the local YMCA. Preston's Friend Addison also took swimming lessons and they were in the same class. That was so much fun... Preston misses Addie.. Preston also met a new friend.. Evan. He was so cute and such a little ham. He is a few months older than Preston but i think they could be good freinds. Preston had a blast. he loves the water.. and he even got used to going under... somewhat.. i just had a really hard time dunking my 8 month old under water.. it caused great anxiety to me!!! BUT i did it.. barely.. and he got used to it.. Now he still drank some water but he was learning to blow bubbles when it was said and done. Which could be the reason he has started his new thing.. making the bbbbbb sound with his lips and blowing spit everywhere!! he is so good at it and has so much fun.. i let him and just wipe his mouth from time to time... Yesterday he did it in church.. during a very quiet sermon.. at a critical point in it.. it was so funny. Our pastor told me after church he almost started laughing.. well i was laughing and needless to say dad had to take Preston out into the hall... oh well.. those are the moments life is made up of.. right?



We also had baby dedication at our church on June 28. It was a very special day for us. Of course i thank God every day for our wonderful gift and ask for guidance for the awesome responsibility he has given us as Preston's parents but it was so sweet to be surrounded by our church family, special friends, and family in sharing God's gift to us. Tim and i are so blessed to have such a wonderful son.

We have still been attending Story time at the Hulen Library. Preston has a good time.. he just like watching the other kids but it is good for him to hear stories and socialize. We have also been to the Ft. worth zoo. We have a membership so that makes it easy. Preston likes the zoo.. ok.. Mom likes the zoo but P doesn't mind it either!!


This week brings us to our first family vacation. WE are going to Yellowstone!!!! I am so excited and anxious. We are flying to Denver Co and renting a car and driving to S. Dakota to see the Black hills, mt. rushmore, then looping to wyoming to yellowstone, Jackson hole, and i am not sure what else. WE are going with our special friends the Moore's.. and God bless them they have planned this whole trip... Tim and i have been complete bums and we have just added our 2 cents here and there but they have been amazing at planning it.. and to tell you the truth i am not really sure what all the plans are!! We will be gone for 10 days!! it will be Preston's first plane ride!!! i have made a list of what to pack... my lord that child will have a bigger suitcase than tim or i!!! While we are gone.. Tim will turn 43 (July 20) and Preston will turn 9 months!! My boys are growing up!! :)
