Preston's First Birthday!

We celebrated Preston's birthday just recently and I wanted to post some pictures of our newly turned one year old. At the birthday party with my family, by the time we started eating cake, Preston was so tired and exhausted that he didn't want any cake, but only some yogurt...!!! I made Preston's cake and it was so delicious, chocolate fudge cake with chocolate frosting and some blue additions with a fabulous wilton frosting can. We had so much fun celebrating with him. He got some toys that were for his age...since he was still practically playing with his newborn toys and he even got a carseat!! He is growing up so fast and I am amazed at his sweet spirit and loving, cuddly self!! He has been taking steps lately and took 4 or 5 to me from Tanner yesterday. He doesn't walk all the time, because he still likes to crawl, but sometimes the daredevil in him will come out and he will prove you wrong. Tanner and I like to sit across from each other in the living room and have Preston walk between us...sometimes a little enticing is needed, but we do what it takes!!! On his real birthday, the 13th he did try some of Nana's white cake and loved it! It's pretty cute because he is turning into his own little personality...if he isn't done chewing and you try to offer him food, he will either, take out the food that isin his mouth if what you have looks better, or he will shake his head no and then finish chewing and when he is done he will open up!! Pretty cute!

Not too crazy about it!

Daddy, Mommy, and Preston all together!!

Preston's Cake!!

Playing with presents with Kirsten. He got this awesome train that has three cars and animals that sit in them and it sings and is super cute. The animals all have moving parts and the best part is that Preston thinks it is amazing. Let me tell you, the best place to spend less money, but get more toys for your dollar is Once Upon a Child. You may have to go every so often, but it's totally worth it when you find what you want.

Hmm, white cake and frosting...he loved it! Every second !

Preston's cutsiness

Today was an awesome day! I went shopping with Meredith and Summer. I was able to buy Preston's birthday presents at a resale shop for $20 and then I found the perfect bathroom rug and towels. Tonight I went to Ross and wasn't expecting to see Summer, but she was in town and she was planning on going to Ross, so we met up, shopped and bought some cute dresses and then went out to eat! It's so fun being able to have a mini girl's night and it was much needed!! Tanner got a little stressed since I spent so much, but he knows that that is me and he loves me anyway! It was a fun and very successful shopping trip! And Preston was amazing! He kept letting me drag him from store to store and was just the most adorable shopping buddy ever!

I just wanted to post some cute pics of Preston and the mischief our almost one year old has been getting into. He has taken a couple of steps on his own and I know that one day he will up and start walking everywhere! He's the cutest little guy and he's all ours! YAY!!

This is Preston right after he took a bath and was so tired!

Preston all of a sudden got really quiet one night and so I went to go see what he was up to and I found him playing with the diapers he pulled out of the diaper holder. He thought he was hot stuff. While it was pretty shamey, it was ohh so sweet and cute at the same time!

Tanner makes the best smoothies and so I am always buying strawberries and asking him to make me one, so here is Preston loving the smoothie that Tanner made!!

Preston just ate rice and beans and got it everywhere and then we gave him a couple of cheetos and this is our beautiful cheesy, ricey baby!
