Preston ordered caterpillars in the mail this year and watched them grow big and fat. Then they turned into chrysalis' and the waiting game began. Over a week later...butterflies! We released butterflies a few days later and this new idea has become a family tradition I believe. So fun!
Preston went on a fishing trip with Papa Tim recently to Spaulding Pond. He had a great time and is a real fish killer!
We visited Arizona in May and enjoyed our visit until we all caught...the flu!!! Hopefully not the swine flu, but you never know. We did have a great time with the cousins and family until the very end though. Nice and toasty!
Our precious little darling is quickly turning into a fiery burst of energy. She has a very bad habit of putting anything choking-hazard size directly into her mouth. She recently threw one of her favorite shoes into the toilet for some entertainment. She has been demanding to wear big brothers clothes for a few weeks now. She really topped herself this last week when she demanded to put on his underwear...instantly transforming herself into SuperNaughtyGirl. By the way, she is available to rent for any of you who think how nice it would be to have a sweet little girl in your home! We're starting to think we were deceived by all of our friends who supposedly have "sweet" girls. Mommy and daddy don't get through one hour of our day without saying "No hitting" to her...unless she's unconscious. Even then, you have to be careful. She recently took her binkie out of her mouth and whacked mommy in the face with it within 5 seconds of waking up.
We went to Rawhide...a cowboy town in Arizona while visiting recently. Preston LOVES this place. We go there every time we visit Arizona. This time, all three tough guys rode the mechanical bull: Mike, Tony, and Brian. Guess who won? The police officer, of course! Congrats Brian! Doin' the bull dance! Feelin' the flow! Preston did his own version of the bull dance on the horsie ride and Abby shook her groove thing to the rockin' cowboy band. Yee haw!
We went to Arizona to visit Krista's sister and her family recently. We had an early Christmas with gingerbread house making and present opening.
Preston & Brayden got to ride on The Polar Express with their daddies up to the North Pole. Santa visited the train cars and gave everyone their special bells after hot cocoa and cookies. Such fun!
