Thanksgiving 2012

Lily came for Thanksgiving and as always we
had a great time!
Preston love his sister! He just stares and smiles at her.
I'm glad she loves him too!

 

Shrek The Halls

For the 3rd year in a row we took Lily to ICE at the National Harbor.
This year's theme was Shrek the Halls.
Once again they did not disappoint! 2 million pounds of ice!

 

 

 

 

237th Marine Corps Birthday Ball

Last night Craig and I attended his unit's Marine Corps Birthday Ball.

We had a fabulous time! We love getting in our uniforms :o).

Even better Norman and Wendy Johnson took care of Preston

while we were at the ball. They are childhood friends of Mom and Kevin's

and they are fabulous people! They were such life savers!

 

 

Preston's first Halloween

Happy Halloween!!

 

Auntie Crystal bought me this cute onesie!

It says "My 1st Boo"

And we're moving....

Preston is on the move....

World watch out!

 

 

 



Preston's first Halloween Costume

On Saturday (10/20), we took Preston to Silas and Greyson Ngo's Birthday Party.

It was a costume party...

He made such an adorable giraffe~

 

Dude

I was getting Preston ready to go to his 4 month well baby

appointment and it was a bit chilly outside.

I couldn't find a hat to fit him except this one...

He wears it well and is too cute!

 

 

Preston rolling over

This was Preston's 4th time rolling over and we finally caught

it on camera!

Yes he is growing up super fast!

 

Bath time with Daddy

 

I was trying to be sneaky and get Craig giving Preston a bath...

I got caught, but you get the idea :o)

 

Decision, Decisions, Decisions

Preston has finally found his feet!!

 

4 months and growing

Preston is getting so big!

I love taking his picture!

 

Helping mommy with the laundry

Just the beginning of playing in bed instead of sleeping!

This was 11:30 at night...crazy eyes because they are open!

Went and visited Auntie Crystal

He was in awe with the talking Woody Doll

My Packer Fan :o)

Lily's Halloween Costume

Since we never get to take Lily trick and treating, we decided this year we would get her Lily's costume.

She is completely obsessed with rainbow's!

She is going to LOVE it :o)!

 

This is how we are going to mail it to her.

I hope it makes it!

This is what it should look like when she has it on!

Some of Preston's firsts

Last night Craig and I went to dinner at Chili's.

We decided to introduce Preston to BBQ sauce and lemon juice...

 

Yes we cracked up :o)

 

 

 

3 months old

On August 31st, 2012, Preston turned 3 months old! 

He is growing so fast and he is talking more and more.

Especially if you leave him in the room alone, he lets you 

know to come back and talk to him :o).

He is a super happy baby and we are truly blessed!

Lily singing to Preston and Preston talking back

This morning we got to catch this on video!

Too adorable not to share :o)

 

Preston talking and smiling at Mommy

Preston is talking and smiling so much more!

Glad I captured it on camera!

                          Looks like I'm trying to shut him up with his binkie, but I wasn't.  Promise :o)

Colorado Trip

This summer we took Lily and Preston back home.

We spent a week up in Denver at Winter Park and the second 

week down in Cortez.

Lily had a blast playing with her cousins! Her and Elise were

two peas in a pod!

We are truly blessed!

There were so many pictures I couldn't post them all :o)

Family Photo shoot

These were taken 2 weeks after Preston was born. 

Lily did fantastic - she is such a ham :o)

Looking forward to taking more photos of Preston

as he grows.

He is an amazing little boy and we are truly blessed.

Maternity Photo shoot

I finally got these back....

Craig and I had a fun time taking them...if you notice you can't see my ankles!

Well that was on purpose, because on that day they decided to swell up!

Got to love the crop option on photos :o)

Big sister looking after her baby brother

Craig and I were trying to have Preston nap in his crib.

We were watching him on the monitor and he was getting a little fussy.

Not soon after, we saw these little hands on the crib....

Big sister was coming in to check on her little brother.

SOOOO glad my camera was handy!

She was talking to him and he was smiling.  Too cute!

Watching cartoons in Lily's bed

1 month old today

I'm 1 month old today!

4th of July 2012

We went to Ft. Belvoir again this year to watch the fireworks.

It was a bit warm, but we bought some sun shades, that worked perfectly.

A fellow Marine (GySgt Scudder, aka Chuck) and his family joined us 

as well.  Lily loved playing with Zoe.

Lily loves bubbles

Evan, Chuck and Zoe Scudder

Cheeeeeezzzze

Preston was excellent!

Very happy Grammy

Glow sticks can entertain for hours!
