Allie and Preston helped Grandpa plant a tree this afternoon. Preston didn't even seem to mind that his hands got a little dirty!

After they were done, Grandpa took them for a ride in the golf cart. 

As we were getting ready to leave we told Preston to give Grandpa a hug and kiss and to thank him for the ride. Preston did just that, but then looked at him and said "one more ride?". Needless to say, we didn't leave right then. We had to wait for one more ride!

Happy Easter!

 The Easter Bunny was at Mom & Dad's house last night ...

 Left a little something behind ...

 And left some tracks on his way out.

 It's near impossible to get them all to sit and smile at the same time, so this is what you get. Good thing they're all so darn cute.

 Preston wasn't very interested in smiling and showing off his handsome little outfit.

 Preston got a choo-choo train flashlight thing from Grandma & Grandpa and Dad couldn't get it open fast enough for him. The whole time Dustin was trying to open it, Preston was jumping up and down shouting, "Choo-Choo Train, Choo-Choo Train!"

 Finally got it open ... he hasn't stopped playing with it since. :-)

 Blowing bubbles outside

 Get the bubbles!!

 Preston & Turner ... just hanging out again

 And a nice Easter roar to finish out the day, 'cause why not?

Easter Egg Hunt

Preston was really excited to see the Jackrabbit and the Easter Bunny, the operative word being was. Not sure why he got so bummed when he finally saw them.

Managed to give the Easter Bunny a high-five.

 Lots of kids!

 Turner gave most of his goods away to all the other kids. I think he did manage to get some for himself.

 Preston had no trouble grabbing what he could, although initially he just ran around all crazy!

 That's a lot of goodies!

All the kiddos with their bunny ears!

The belly, 25 weeks

As I was uploading this picture I was looking the shot from just five weeks ago. It doesn't really seem like the belly is that much bigger. But I sure feel bigger!

We have a very active baby b on our hands. I've been feeling baby move around for quite some time and Dustin has been able to feel baby for a couple weeks too. Last night, baby was kicking up a storm and Dustin got to feel a rather big one. Doesn't seem possible that baby b is big enough to be kicking like that! Second time around, it's still an amazing feeling!  :-)

Weekend with the Beringers

We headed down to Vermillion on Friday to spend the weekend with the Beringers. It was a busy weekend filled with a birthday (Dustin's), a baby shower and a baptism for Cyrus James, Bryan and Jessica's baby boy. It was a great weekend!

 Preston was SO excited to see Cyrus and couldn't wait to hold him! 

More and more, I'm thinking that he's going to be a good big brother. :-)

 Uncle Bryan couldn't resist taking Preston to meet Murphy. 

Yep, that's my son holding a snake. GROSS!! He got a kick out of it though.

 I somehow managed to not get a single picture during the baptism (I'm sure someone will share their pictures with me, right?), but I managed to get a picture of the three of us. It's not very often that we all look this spiffy, so I had to take advantage!

Fun at the Carnival

There was a carnival last weekend for the Tehlula Lee Foundation, and Dustin brought Preston while I worked there for a bit.

Polar Plunge 2011 for Special Olympics

 

My mom and a group of her friends/co-workers participated in the Polar Plunge this year, jumping once after raising over $1,400 for Special Olympics. We're convinced that next year they will do the super plunge - 24 jumps in 24 hours. :-)

 Ready ...

 Jump!!

 Mom's in there somewhere, trying to catch her breath.

 There she is!

It was a gorgeous day for us spectators with temps in the 40s to low 50s. Since it was so nice out they made sure to pour lots of extra ice in the water for the jumpers!

Goofy Kids

Preston

He would say cheese with a huge grin, but refused to look at the camera.
