The big ONE

Today Preston turned one. He had his one year check up and weighed in at 22 lb 3 ounces and measured at 29.75 inches tall. He's gotten so big and its sad that my baby isn't so baby no more.  I'm so excited to see what this next year bring with him. We will officially celebrate his birthday on Aug. 3rd. But today grandma Cindy and papa and aunt Chenal and cousins Jourdan and Taylour came over to sing happy birthday to him.

I learned that hes not that into cake. 

His goofy smile 

 

He needs help climbing on to it still but he gets off pretty easily by himself.

 

Well I finally got birthday party pictures. Better late than never!

 

 

Time for cake

Even Brianna got some things.

My chubby monkey

 

I will say the cake or cupcakes were good but instead of ending up in our bellies a lot of them ended up in hair and in faces. I will take credit for starting the mess!!!

 

Site seeing in the south

First place we got to go see is the General George Patton Museum. It is a free museum and even though it had some neat artifacts of course, I dont think its quite completed since there was some empty display cases and unfinished plaques. But like I said I learned alot (as much as I could with Preston running around). We also went to the Nashville Zoo and to the Willie Nelson Museum. At the zoo Preston did awesome siting in the stroller. And the Willie Nelson museum I let him run around again. We also went to the Grand Ole Opry House, but only went to the gift shop.

First vacation for Preston

In need of a break from our reality we head down to Kentucky. It was HOT. We're used to hot but this was a new kind hot. Its very odd when you walk out onto a porch that is cement and the cement feels moist. Didn't even need the sun beaming on you to work up a sweat, all you had to do was step outside for 3 minutes. But of course Preston is an outdoorsy boy and if he could get outside he would.

The lady next to me though it would be a good picture to take so I gave her my phone.

 

Patchwork... nothing but patchwork to look at .

Had to cool the kids off some how.
