Camping Trip to BeeBee Bridge

Michael and I went camping in Eastern Washington. My mom asked if she could have Preston for the weekend so that she could take him camping with her, so at the last minute, Michael and I packed up the car and took off too!! It was so fun. It was just for the weekend, but it was a blast. It was so hot. But we loved every second of it.

No one took this picture of us. We are nerdy enough that we set the camera on time delay and ran back and posed for the picture. What else are we supposed to do???? Plus we really love our tent!! We got it last year and cant wait to put it to good use. Aside from this trip, we have only been camping once and now that we have all of our camping stuff, it is our goal to go at least 3 times a year.


Our campfire we made.

My hottie setting up the tent. I did help, but I just wanted to stop and take a picture of Michael in action! At this point it was about 3:00pm and the gage in the truck said 94 degrees. We almost melted.

Smores!!

This camping trip was so fun. The three of us are going to go to Chelan to camp in about a month and we already cant wait.

PS. Preston had a blast camping too with Bawa!!

Final Field Trip with Prestons Preschool

Year End Field Trip with New Horizons

So for the end of the year trip Mrs Hizzey planned a day at the beach on Whidbey Island. One of the parents of her students have a house right on the water. This is the view from the house and were we played all day!!

Here is the house it was held at. It was so beautiful. I would love to have a house like this on the water.

All the kids playing in the water.

Andrea, Garrett, and Preston.

Taking a break for some "melon melon" (Watermelon)

Michael and Livy catching crabs.

There were little crabs everywhere. If you turned over a rock, there were hundreds!! So we all got our buckets and went crabbing!!

Preston and Ashley having a moment. So precious.

Cousin Sleep Over

Michael and I have been wanting to have all 3 cousins over for a sleepover at our house for a while now. Everything just ended up falling into place, and finally got our cousin sleepover.

Eating breakfast. Michael loves to make breakfast so he was even more happy to make breakfast for his 3 favorite little ones!!

Nay Nay eating her cheesy eggs

Maya chowin' on waffles

This was Nay Nay walking down the stairs from waking up. I though it was so cute how happy she was. I think shes going to be a morning person!

This was the night before while they watched Cars.

These aren't really in order. This was actually the night before when we got home. It was such a beautiful night so we brought out the pool and Preston and Nay Nay played hard!! Maya was a little tired so her and Uncle Michael hung out on the deck and watched.

Nay Nay and Preston would stand up and then crash down into the water and water would go everywhere. They loved it!! They were laughing so hard.

Prestons 2nd..... YES 2nd Hair cut ever!

And No, you dont have it wrong. He is a four year old little boy who has only had 2 hair cuts.

Preston got his first haircut about 4 months ago. I have pictures but didn't get around to putting them up here. Mrs Paula cuts his hair and does such a good job. She used to cut hair back int he day, and we joke that she needs to open her own barber shop also.

As you can see it was time. It is so curly that it just gets to the point where no matter what you do to it, it looks sloppy.

Preston got his first bike!!

This was a big deal not only for Preston but for Michael and I. We felt like it was time. Preston just turned 4 in May and he is such a good boy. We thought we would surprise him with this Diego bike. He absolutely loved it. He put on his helmet and "Lilly pads" (elbow and knee pads) and took off down our street. No fear!! We live in a cul de sac and so its perfect for him to take off. Hes fallen a couple times but nothing any big deal because hes so protected by his Lilly pads.

Takin' off!

Gettin ready

He could not be happier..........


Mothers Tea Time

On a beautiful Saturday morning in May, Preston and I went to his preschool New Horizons, and had mothers tea time. Mrs Hizzey puts on "Mothers Morning Tea Time" and a "Daddy and Child Night" Michael and Preston did the "Daddy" night a couple months ago, so I was so excited when I got to go with Preston. He was such a sweetheart. We went and got coffee before and he just chatted my ear off the whole way there!! Then when we got there, all the kids gave their mommas a gift. It was a picture of them, in a painted wood frame that they painted and decorated. And best of all, a hat. It was made from a paper bowl and plate. But I just loved that Preston picked out the colors, and the decorations, and even the bow to tie it on. I loved every second of it. Plus, the kids all got up and sang us all a song, and told us mommas how much they loved us. It was so fun. I cant wait for next years Mothers Tea Time.

Preston is wearing the hat he made me. So cute huh?

Showing me the gift he made me. Picture and frame, and then a card he made also.

Preston and his class singing to us moms.

Preston and I before we left.

Maya spent the Night

Michael and I got to watch Maya a couple months ago and we loved every second of it. She is always so good when shes over.

Shes such a ham!!

This is her all dressed up for meeting Sunday morning. Uncle Michael did her hair!! Slicked!!

Preston and Maya getting ready for bed. Maya watching her big cousin brushing his teeth.

Well, that is all I have for now. But my goal is to blog alot more this summer. We have a lot of fun things planned. Hint.....swimming lessons, camping trips, days at the beach, sleepovers, zoo trips, movies under the stars at Silver Lake, and a couple family reunions and much more.

We cant wait!! I love, love, love, summertime.
