Preston's 4th Birthday!!!

Our youngest little man has turned 4 years old. I can not even imagine how time has flown by so quickly but I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful, sweet, smart, sassy, talented little boy as my son. I can not imagine my life or our family without him.

We had Preston's birthday party at our house and really loved being surrounded by so much love from all of our amazing friends and family.

At the start of the party it started to hail while everyone was outside enjoying the bbq and the bouncy house. Unfortunatley the large hailstorm put a stop to the outside part of the party but luckily we were able to take the party inside and still have a great time. And I have to say my husband is the most awesome man.......he continued to cook the food on the grill even while it was hailing outside. What a great guy!

"Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Preston!!!! Happy Birthday to you!!"

Make A Wish!!
Preston is beyond spoiled by all of our friends and family. This kid got more toys than he knew what to do with. He loved his big T-Rex!
 Big brother Connor loves to help Preston open his gifts.
 Now Aiden is getting in on the gift opening action.

Preston's Concusion

I honestly believe my kids are trying to make sure we are known by name at the doctor's office. Today Preston was playing on the back of the couch while I was cooking breakfast. Next thing I knew I heard a very loud thump and he is screaming on the floor. Turns out he hit the back of his head on the tile floor which is pretty sharp. Luckily, since I am having to deal with so many head injuries with my boys I know how I dress the wound and what signs to look for in the event of a concusion. I honestly thought he was ok since he did not show any signs of a concusion and we would just have a boo-boo on the back of his head. But once Preston started throwing up we had to rush to the doctor's office and it was confirmed he had a minor concusion. Here he is after the injury was dressed and he was watching cartoons. He said he wanted to show Daddy his boo-boo so Daddy would know he was hurt.

Family Night watching the Salt Lake City Bees!

Tonight we took the kids to watch a Salt Lake City Bees baseball game. We were so lucky that Dave's work gave us free tickets to the game and the seats were amazing. They were 4th row behind the visiting team's dugout. So the kids were really able to see the action up close! It was a great family night with amazing weather, great seats, well behaved kids and a winning baseball team. All in all.....we could not have asked for better!

The view from our seats. The bee mascot was even cool enough to come over and give the boys a high five and hug!

 Dad and Preston enjoying the game.
Abby and Jacob, looking extremely cute as always. They said they really enjoyed seeing the baseball game so I guess we will have to start going to more!
This little man makes my heart melt. Love that smile!
Preston being a ham as usual. He makes me laugh so much!
Yup, these are my boys.
Dave took the boys to ride the train behind the outfield. Dave let them ride alone and they felt so grown up and happy. Plus it gave me some time to actually watch and enjoy the game!
 
One of the perks of being so close to the field......you get to see the very close finish to the race between the hot dog, pizza and ice cream cone! FYI....the hot dog won!
