Preston's Birthday Bash!

We had Preston's birthday party at the bowling alley on Saturday.

It was SO MUCH FUN!!

 

 Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Beringer were able to come up to the

party and we're so glad they did!

My beautiful niece, Allie.

Can you believe she is going to be 7-years old on Friday?!?!

Miss Lilli

She's dancing here. She loves to dance!

The birthday cake!

Not only did it look awesome, it tasted amazing!

Grandma Mary makes the best cakes!!

Happy Birthday, Preston!

Bowling is so much fun!

Some of the guests

Grandma Cindy, who is quite the bowler, helping Preston get things lined up.

Grandpa Jeff, being silly I'm sure!

Lilli loved to sit like this and then the others started to as well.

We thought it would be a super-cute picture.

This was the best one I could get.

Singing to the birthday boy!

The candles were really cool, they burned the color of the candle!

Preston is a pretty good bowler!

I love this kid!

Time for presents and boy, did he get some great presents!

I'm pretty sure they were getting along here and not

fighting over the bowling balls or whose turn it was. ;)

Fun times!

 

Thank you to everyone that came to celebrate with us!

Preston is 5!!

 

Happy 5th Birthday, Preston James!!

 

I'm kind of in shock that Preston is already 5 years old. Forgive me while I embrace the cliché, but time really has flown by. Sure, I miss the days when Preston was a baby but I've been able to watch him grow into this amazing boy. I certainly don't want to rush things, but every day I look forward to watching him grow more and more.

 

He's smart, so smart. He's funny. He's imaginative and creative. He has a flare for the dramatics (I don't want to admit it's from me, but I think we all know it is). He gets in trouble. A lot. He picks on his sister and in the next breath, is so sweet to her.

 

This little boy made me a mom and he stole my heart from day one. I am so very blessed to call him my son and I love him. To the moon and back. So much more than he will ever know.

 

Dustin and I got Preston his very own tablet. He was SO excited.

Now it's a battle of limiting screen time.  :)

 

 

 

We took Preston to Taco John's for his birthday supper. We went there on a field trip last year with school and ever since, he LOVES tacos. Which is fine with us. Taco night has become quite popular at our house.

 

His birthday party is Saturday at the bowling alley. 

We can't wait to celebrate this little man with our family and friends!! 

First Day of School

So... I'm a little behind on this one. I turned on my camera this morning to discover these great pictures of Preston's first day of school. Oops.

 

He was so excited to start school again!

I only hope that he maintains that enthusiasm for years to come!

Outside school.

He was already growing tired of all the pictures at this point.

This may have been disbelief that I was, in fact, taking more pictures.

He found his nametag in his "locker" all by himself.

Showing off his football moves.

I LOVE that his classroom has a Chiefs jersey.

His old room last year had one as well!

It didn't take him long at all to jump right in and make new friends.

 

He loves his teacher and loves school!
