Snowfamily

Winter REFUSES to leave us!

 

 

We're trying to make the best of it, so Preston (with Dustin's help) made our family in snow.

To spice things up, I filled a water bottle with food coloring and let him go to town.

Strike Out SIDS

Two amazing families teamed up last weekend to Strike Out SIDS, with proceeds from the event going to SIDS research.

 

My friends, Jason and Amber, lost their beautiful baby boy, Isaac Scot, at 7 months to SIDS almost 5 years ago. And the other family, Jack and Marj, lost their baby girl, Tehlula Lee, when she was about 2 months old.

 

Both families continue to honor their little angels ... Jason and Amber through the March of Dimes with Team Isaac, and Jack and Marj through the Tehlula Lee Foundation. Their foundation works to ensure that all little babies have a headstone at their grave after seeing far too many without at their daughter's funeral.

 

This was Preston's first bowling experience and I'm so thrilled that we were able to support this cause.

 

 

Preston's quite the bowler and had a blast! Something tells me his 5th birthday party might be at the bowling alley!

Off To The Rodeo!

After taking Preston to the rodeo in Estelline last summer, I knew I had to take him again the next chance I had. The Jackrabbit Stampede was that opportunity. Once I found out my friend Kayla would be taking her kids, it was a done deal.

 

Preston was SO excited when I told him we were going!!

 

Ready to get things started!

This is Lucas, Kayla's little cowboy.

I had a lot of fun getting action shots througout the night.

Getting the bulls ready

And of course, the bull riding.

We went Saturday night for the finals. They had performances Friday night and Saturday afternoon as well.

 

I remember my Uncle Jim taking me and my sister to Crystal Springs when we were younger. I love going to the rodeo and am so excited that Preston loves it too! I hope Lilli Jo loves it as much as we do and can't wait to take her to her first one.

 

And yes ... I WILL be getting him some cowboy boots. And I will be getting a pair for myself too!
