Trails

Here are some pictures of the trails that we now how through our 7 acres thanks to Craig:) They are a lot of fun to walk on as well as bike with our mountain bikes. One of our trails leads to our Baby K's resting place. We lost Baby K 2 years ago this May. So many people said it would get easier as time went on.................those people never lost a baby. I went and prayed at that spot last night with Craig and Preston and held Preston ever so tightly and kissed him and smiled up to heaven knowing that a piece of Baby K is in him:)

Fun Pictures

Preston is cutting some more teeth and he was a crab apple at the dinner table so I put him on the floor with Maddie and he instantly became happy again. Here are some pictures of Preston getting ready to crawl, pulling Maddies leg, Preston just being his cute self, Maddie giving him kisses and Mommy giving him a kiss before our walk on our trails with Daddy. We now have three trails going through our property that Craig has made. I will post pictures of them soon.

Self Feeding

Preston has been feeding himself some this week. It has been a lot of fun watching him do this. My sister-in-law got him this cool thing that you can put foods babies can choke on in so that they can eat things that they otherwise could not. It is called Munchems. So far Preston has had Blueberries, Bannanas, Plums, and Necterines in it. It is helping him chew as well. Tonight I let him eat with a spoon and he did very well. In the picture where he has his hands in the air I have been teaching him "SO BIG". Such a big boy he is becoming.

Grandma K came out to visit

Craig's mom came out today with Preston's cousin Emma. Boy did we have an eventful day. We ate dinner together that mom K brought out (veggie pizza and pasta salad). The kiddo's went swimming in Preston's pool, we went to the park for a walk, and played on the playground. When we got back from the park Grandma K took Preston for a walk in his new wagon. We ended our day with a campfire and smores. Thanks for coming out guys.....................................come again:)

Zoo

We took Preston to the Zoo in the cities for the first time this week. He loved it. His favorite animal was the Spider Monkeys. They even came up to the window and looked at Preston. He couldnt keep his eyes off of them. He loved being up high on Daddy's back that way he could see everything we saw.

Happy Father's Day

This is Craig's first official Father's Day and Preston wanted to tell him how much he loves him.

Dear Daddy, I know I may be little but I know that you take care of me in a big way. Thank you for all you do for me. I know you put in a lot of hours at work so that me and mommy can stay home. I love it when you play with me. Thank you for telling me you love me everyday and all the kisses you give me. I love it when you swing me on the swing and bring me outside with you when you work. I get so happy when you come home and don't like it when you have to leave. Thank you for changing all my poopy diapers and for giving me baths. Daddy, your the best daddy a little boy could have and I love you, Preston
