My mom's package made it. It took it a long time, but it made it. Aunt Mindy got him this cute birthday had and he hated it! As soon as I put it on he was crying for me to take it off. Thanks any way Mindy.

Aunt Janna sent him this cute little dog that he LOVES! (At lest the dog likes the hat)
Grandpa and Grandma Martin sent him a bath toy.

I have fallen in love with squash soup. I really don't like squash, but it was made for a mops group and I always wanted to try it. It was so good!! And it is the perfect time of the year for it. Here is the recipe that I used.

BUTTER NUT SQUASH SOUP

1 Tablespoon shallot, minced (I only had a white onion and it worked)

1 Clove garlic, pressed or minced (I pressed mine)

3 Cups butternut squash, Peeled and seeded (the longest part)

1/2 Cup chicken broth

Combine sallots and garlic with a little butter in a pan and saute until translucent. Add squash and chicken broth. Bring to a boil then simmer for about 20 min. Pour everything in a blender or food processor and puree. Pour back into the pot to heat through. I added more broth so it wasn't as thick. (I like it thinner.) I also added some ginger to taste. So yummy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESTON!!!!

Preston turned one today

At firs all he wanted to do was suck on the suckers. We pulled them off and he didn't waste anytime at all.

I think he liked the sucker most of all

Aunt Lynn sent some cloths. Thanks Aunt Lynn.

Grandma and Grandpa Lemen sent some cloths and a VeggieTales dvd's and cd's. Thanks Connie and Rich.

We gave Preston a big toy train with a handle. (We only got a picture of him opening it)

The sweetest molet ever!

Our Halloween was not that great. We all got sick a few days before and Preston got really sick on Halloween. So we didn't get to got out with Preston in his cute costume. Maybe next year will be better.
