First trip to the Pool!

Well, it's official!! Preston Luke is going to be a pool bum like his mommy!! As part of my Mother's Day, Jeff insisted that I go to the pool at Squire Creek for a couple of hours by myself....HEAVEN! Then, after 2:00 when the worst of the rays were over and nap was done, Preston joined me in the pool while daddy went to hit some range balls. Preston LOVED the pool! I was twirling him around, and floated him through the whole pool for 30 minutes. He was enthralled with the other kids, too--that's why he's not really looking at the camera in the pictures!! He's exhausted now, especailly after our trip to Resa's to deliver her Mom's day happy. Oh, and for all of you that know how terrified I was of it, the swim diaper worked out just fine.........I better not jinx myself though!! Happy Mother's Day to everyone!!

Helping Mommy in the Kitchen!

Well, I have always heard that kids like the darndest things as toys, but now have my own example. Presont LOVES the wooden meat mallet (sp?) and will play with it for an HOUR! I am not kidding. Some days that's what I give him and sit him down by me while I eat lunch :) I took this pic tonight while I was starting dinner and Preston was having a BLAST! It is on our list to do this weekend to get a new camera, so I hope to have some better shots soon. More later.....

I will let this video speak for itself. I am so proud to be a part of Trinity United Methodist Church!

Bathtime Fun!

Because we have not purchased a new camera yet, the only working device at my disposal is my iPhone camera. It takes great stills, but with a busy, moving baby leaves a little to be desired!! However, I had to post about how much fun Preston and I have had these last days at home. He is really getting good at scooting backward, and I can see a trip to Lowe's for childproofing items in my near future!! Also, one of his upper front teeth has poked through and the other is right behind. He LOVES to be wherever mommy and daddy are--he sits on the floor wherever we happen to be and just watches and smiles--REALLY CUTE! And lastly, he really enjoys jogging with mommy as she pushes the jog stroller. (Let me tell you that is a WORKOUT!!) Our love to one and all, Jeff, Shelley, and Preston!

My Easter Blessing

I know I should not be boastful, and really want to work on my humility, but can not HELP but be SO PROUD of this Easter picture of Preston Luke!!! All I can say is that I am a HUGE Sherry Owens fan--I love HER as much as her work--and hope we have a long future together. Oh, did I mention I now own a 20 X 24 of this picture??? We are all trying to get over a sickness over here but hopefully are on the mend...... more later!

Breakfast at Tiffany's

These pictures really do not do justice to Kelsey Phillips' beautiful home and wonderful job she did decorating for Leslie Temple's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" bridal shower! The food and company were great and I was so excited to be a part. Again, congratulations Leslie and hope to see everyone again soon :)

First School Picture

When I heard that Temple was taking school pictures, of course, I made sure Preston was presentable for his shots. But had I known that Sherry Owens was taking professional pictures--I certainly would have done better on his wardrobe! Oh well! She does a great job, doesn't she--and get ready for his Easter bunny shots because they are even cuter....
