Grandpa and Grandpa Lemen came up for the weekend to go cu down a christmas tree with us.

We got to push Preston on the railroad tracks. (We thought there was going to be a train we could ride on, but the man has been working on in for 7 years now!) We still had a good time.

It is a huge tree! I had to get more lights to finish decorating it. It was about 11 feet tall.

Preston was so happy when he got to make a snowman. After it was done he kept pulling the carrot ou.

We woke up to the beautiful snow falling down. It was not cold enough to stay for a long time, but it kept falling. When Preston woke up, I let him look out the window and he was really excited. He kept saying, "snow. Snowman," and put his hand together abouve his head to indicate a snowman. We put on his boots and coat and let him play in it. He was out no longer then 5 minutes and came running to the door crying because his hands were so cold. Time to get snow gear.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESTON

We went down to Oregon to be with family and friends to have Preston's birthday. He is now 2 years old. His birthday was fun so I am sure Christmas will even be better.

Preston and his cousin Rylee.

Rylee got Preston markers and they got to color together. He just LOVES his cousin Rylee.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

We went to a small local pumpkin patch as a family to pick out our pumpkin.Preston got to play

on a hill made out of wood chips. He loved it!

Being so patient

Preston and I went down to Utah to visit family. We had a really good time. (Thank you Janna for flying us down.)

We got to. . .

. . . Feed the ducks. . .

. . .make donut with Aunt Mindy. . .

. . . have the best smoothie in the world. . .

. . . play at the park with Grandma and Aunt Janna. . .

. . . take pictures at temple square. . .

(more like run around)

. . . hang out with Grandpa. . .

. . . wear funny hats. . .

. . . play in the plants. . .

. . . pick tomatoes form the garden

and eat them. . .

. . . and water the flowers. We had a great time.

We went to go spend time with Grandma and Grandpa Lemen and Eric ended up digging holes in their property. The dirt bike track is suppose to be for the grandkids, but I thing the adults have a lot more fun on it.

Preston tried to help or should I say just wanted to play in the mud. He had a runny nose so every time he went to touch his face, more and more dirt was added.

One afternoon it was really quiet in the house. (To quiet) So I went to go find Preston and he had gone to his room, got his blanket and binkey and was just sitting on the stairs. When I found him he just looked at me and sad, "Sit."

While I was getting ready one morning, I was in my bathroom and I thought Preston was singing and playing in his room. When I went to go check on him, he had put on Eric's hat, climbed up onto the bathroom sink and was playing in the water and singing to himself.

We went to the Puyallup fair and Preston got to pet a goat and a bunny.

One of are first adventures we had in Washington was to go crabbing.

we first had to set up the crab pots. . .

. . . then Preston watched as we lowered the pot into the water. . .


. . . to our surprise we caught one a little over a half an hour. It was only a little guy, but he was big enough to keep. We stayed out for a couple more hours, but no more crab so we called it a day.

Eric killed it

And we ate him for a snack. (Not enough for dinner)
