Christmas Morning and beyond

Christmas Morning:






Playing with his marble run in his room:





Wherever Dallin--and his phone--are, Preston is sure to be.

Birthday Time

Image
 Just doing a little math. Preston had a really fun birthday this year.  Clothes!  And more clothes...  Automatic re-setting targets for his nerf gun.  LEGO Minecraft.  He's the first child in our family to enjoy Legos.  A science kit to make volcanoes.  Every year Preston chooses an Oreo ice cream cake from Dairy Queen.  We decided that it was time to throw Preston a birthday party with his friends.  He's actually never had one before.  The closest we ever got was inviting another family over when we lived in Pennsylvania.  But since he now has a neighborhood full of friends, it was time for a party.  We decided on a Minecraft theme.  We had it the day after his birthday.  So handsome showing off his new clothes. He wanted a pinata.  (James took these pictures on his ph...

 This picture turned out really blurry (I think I was trying to hold the dog still...), but I just wanted to show this beautiful trail very near our house where Preston and I go on a nature walk every Monday after we drop Sariah off at her school.  It is part of our weekly routine now, and he always remembers that it is Monday and time for our walk.  Here are some cute soccer pictures: I'm not sure what he was doing in this picture. Here he's writing words to fit the two main sounds of "oo".  We learned about two sets of twins (heads shaped like double O's)... one set loves to try new foods and always says, "ooh!" when they eat something.  The other set hates to try new foods and always says "oo" as in "this tastes like WOOD".  It was a super fun way to learn this, and he remembers it very well as a result. He loves playing this math game. Preston and Dallin the evening when Preston got his soccer trophy. ...

July Adventures

We had a lot of fun in July.  Some of our relatives came to visit, and we spent a whole week exploring the beautiful state of Washington. In Olympic National Park, we were hiking when we came upon these mountain goats, right on the trail. We spent an evening at Ruby Beach on the Pacific Ocean in the national park.  It was magical!   Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge just outside of Lacey.  Preston and I have gone hiking here a few times.  Getting a piggyback ride from his cousin Eva's new husband Zack. On July 4th, we were on Whidbey Island.  This state park is a great place to fly kites, and Preston had fun doing that with his cousin Nathan.  (That's Puget Sound in the background.) From Whidbey Island, we took the ferry across Puget Sound.  The ferry is a super cheap thrill--the kids love it, and they feel like real sailors.  ...
