Preston's First Birthday
Happy birthday to my DINO-mite boy
We (more like I) wanted to make Preston’s birthday super special since it was his first or course. Yes, I do know that he is only 1 and he really could care less what we did for his birthday, but what mom doesn’t want to make their little boy feel extra special. I DO! So...to start off with the fun we took Preston up to Green Canyon Hot Springs for a little swim. He just hung out in his floaty loving life and watching everyone try to entertain him. Later that night we got together with Shane & Sadie, and Jake(My brothers). Preston was also super lucky to have both Grandparents and his other favorite uncles (Lane, Ryan, & Tayler) in attendance…over Skype (They couldn’t miss out on the cake action).
Jake brought Preston a kit-kat, just in case he didn’t like the present he got him he knew he would like the candy. Well Jake did good, Preston loved them both. He carried around the Kit-Kat all night, even bit a whole in the wrapper so he could suck the chocolate out.
I am somewhat in love with dinosaurs right now so Preston is too, funny how that works! I made a dinosaur quilt to give Preston on his birthday so I decided to continue with the theme and have a Dino party.
I also made him a GIANT snake that matches his blanket. (A prehistoric snake of course)
Preston was a little confused when we put the cake in front of him without a spoon. He sat there for a good five minutes looking at the cake not wanting to get his hands dirty.
Finally he figured out a way to eat the cake and keep his hands clean, that’s when he dove in…face first! After getting deep into the chocolate center of the cake he didn’t care too much about staying clean.
It’s not everyday a parent lets their child make such a mess while cheering them on.
Preston loved his cake and had lots of fun entertaining everyone. Preston is my little sidekick and I don’t know what I would do all day without him while Skyler’s at school. I couldn’t ask for a cuter little boy.
* LOVE, loves, loves bananas and marshmallows
* He is always jabbering like we understand every word he says
* He scrunches his nose when he’s happy!
* He gets super happy when Skyler walks in the door from school, but so sad when he leaves
* Loves it when you chase him
* Super happy all the time
* Thinks he is so cool when he sits on the potty.
* Dances to every beat he hears, even if you’re just taping your foot
* Love music, he thinks he is so smart when he turns on the stereo
* Most of all I LOVE that we are so blessed to have him in our family
HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY PRESTON, WE LOVE YOU LOTS!
