Preston started REALLY walking (not just a few steps here and there) a few weeks ago. I've been trying to get some good footage of it but can't seem to get him to cooperate with the camera. Here are two that aren't too bad from the past few weeks.
This year the 4th of July was a little emotional for me. Scott and I met 7 years ago on the 4th. With him getting ready to leave for 6 months, we've been trying not to take anything for granted. On Saturday, we went to the club for the dinner and fireworks on the patio with Jen and Bob. Our Country Club has absolutely the best view in the area for watching the festivities. This year, the city of Rio Rancho opted to do their fireworks on July 3, while Albuquerque did theirs on the actual 4th so we only got to see Rio Rancho's that evening. On the actual 4th, the boys and I met Scott and the pool after he was done playing in the Member-Member tournament. That evening, we went to the Gage's for their annual party. On Monday, we took the boys to Itz! Unfortunately, that event was the only one for which I got pictures. :(
Riding Spinoli with Daddy and the Carousel all alone!
I can't wait until I'm old enough to play...
That looks fun!
Air Hockey and.......GOAL!
Earning and redeeming tickets
This could take awhile...
We lost my Poppie on May 6th. Today would have been his 86th birthday. It breaks my heart that my boys won't have any of their own memories of him or see what a wonderful example he was of a wise, kind, generous man who always did the right thing. I miss him so much, but I know he will live forever in our hearts. I have many fond memories of him that I will continue to cherish.

Christmas 2008
These photos of Poppie and Preston were taken the last time we saw him. It was January 4th.
Christmas 2009
At our wedding in 2004
Our baby boy is one! Time really flies. We had his first birthday party at the park. It was really windy so we didn't get to use the balloons I had ordered. Everything (well, almost everything) was navy blue and kelly green. I couldn't find a blue or green bounce house with a slide so we rented a red one. We had a candy buffet with blue and green candy. I think the kids liked it. I know Jackson and Preston did for sure!
We have been so busy this month! First we had Easter, Scott turned 38, we are preparing for Preston's first and this weekend is Beth's wedding in Austin! I've been saving up pictures so I'm just going to catch up all at once.
Everyone knows Jackson is very independent, and very strong willed. We know he can change his own pullup, complete with using baby wipes and A&D. Now, he likes to control his wardrobe choices as well. And sometimes, it's just not worth the fight. Last weekend, he told me he wanted to go for a walk. He still had his jammies on so I told him he couldn't go for a walk until he got dressed. This is the result (and yes, his shorts are on backwards and unzipped).
