Halloween 2011

I think I made history this year by carving THREE pumpkins! One night I carved my ghost pumpkin and Preston's Elmo pumpkin and then the next night I carved a witch stirring her brew for Landon. Sad I didn't get a picture of it...
They turned out great if I do say so myself. And Aaron's looks awesome too.
Preston loved his Elmo pumpkin and keeps asking about it even now.
Wes and Lani held their annual Halloween party and we had a great time. Here is the whole family (we missed you Hillary!).
The Firefighter, his dalmation and the fire, hippie Grandma and Grandpa, and Princess Leia, Darth Vader, Yoda and Han Solo.
My sweet boy. We couldn't get a smile out of him all night!
Us
Mama and Preston
Preston and Dad. Love how happy Aaron looks.
Aaron and I
Preston loves trucks!

We put Preston and Blayke in the double strolling to take them trick-or-treating but it didn't last long. Preston loved walking house to house.
Preston's First House!

Out on the streets


Love this shot of Jim and Dee in their hippie outfits walking with the grandkids

We had such a great time taking Preston trick-or-treating for the first time. He was so happy and just thought it was the coolest thing. My favorite thing was when we were between houses and Aaron said, with such joy, "This is even funner than I thought it would be!" We really had such a great time.
Happy Halloween!

20 Months

Preston is growing so fast and is such a little boy. He is cracking me up with all the talking he does and he has such a personality.
He has learned so many new words over the last 2 months. He now says:
"fire" "chair" "pumpkin" "vacuum" "moon" "star" "oval" "circle" ""sip" "pouch" "couch" "fishies" "light" "snack" "kiss" "ok" "more" "please" "oh gosh" "cracker" "soccer" "football" "basketball" "boat" "airplane" "truck" "fire truck" "motorcycle" "car" "balloon" "cheese"-in reference to the food and when taking a picture, "apple" "oh ya" "lock" "sky" "sock" "hat" "wet" "color" "chair" and I'm sure there are more. He will mimick a lot of what we say as well. He also knows the noises that many animals make and my favorite is when I ask, "what does Preston say?" and he yells "Mama!!" He is just so smart!
At his latest doctor's appointment he was 28lbs and 34 1/2 inches tall. That puts him just about the 50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height.
This video pretty much sums up my life. He wants to do everything himself even though sometimes he can't. He asks for my help and then when I go to help him, he says "no". I'm beginning to understand a little more about the terrible twos.
I know this video is a little long but it's just too dang cute.



Preston's latest obsession is football. He loves watching football with Aaron and has even asked to watch football by himself. I recently bought him a football at Target and he asks for it all the time.
He has a great arm too!

We love him so much and he is the joy of our lives.
