Splash pad

Regretfully we do not make it to Play group as often right now, but enjoy the times when we do. Prestyn had a lot of fun and loving the water even though it was super hot outside.

swimming like a big boy

We have been enjoying the pool at the gym lately since there is no public ones around. It is so nice to have and Prestyn loves the baby pool they have there since its only 2ft deep and he can walk along the floor. He is doing so well with it he is now kicking his hands and feet and I am teaching him how to walk along the side of the wall with his hands. He still does very well with being dunked under water and his favorite thing is to jump off the ledge into the water! I have decided this year to not do floaties since one we are in the baby pool and I am in there with him, but two I am trying to get him to know how to correct himself and lift his head above water if he looses balance he is doing so well with this and has not yet panicked! of course I am still assisting him, but not before giving him the chance to do so himself! I would love to find someone in this area who teaches the classes Kristy put Bordie in 2 summers ago. Until then I will try to do a little of it myself.

Our little chef!

This was so funny when I stumbled across him. While I was cleaning the house and in the other room I could hear Prestyn on the kitchen, hearing the noise of my pans is not uncommon since he plays with them all the time except this time it was different. Of course Prestyn must copy everything he sees so why not cooking. He had got into the candy jar and pulled out some nerds and placed them in the pan and pretended to cook or in his mind he was! He could not have been anymore proud of himself and since he was not harming anything I let him continue and he did so for about 20 mins until dumping them all over the stove! Lets just hope that he does not figure out how to turn on a burner!

Cars 2

Though I would take Prestyn to the movies a few weeks ago to see cars 2 thinking he may enjoy it well he did really well the first 45 min and then he wanted to run up the isle's so we left since he started yelling when I tried to get him to sit! So needless to say we will be waiting a little while before we attempt that again.

4th of July

For once this year Kevin was actually in town during a holiday so we took advantage of it and enjoyed a trip put for the 4th of July celebration being held by the city of Gilmer at the high school. We were worried that it would be really congested and we would not be able to find a place to park, but we lucked out we parked in the student parking lot and was so close to the fireworks it was really cool we just camped out in the back of the truck with our camping chairs. Prior to the fireworks starting they had airplanes flying over head and played music over the loud speaker as well as famous US history speech's by Presidents. It was so nice Prestyn loved the fireworks he sat still threw the whole 20 mins they were going off. He continued to just say "wow" it was too cute!

1...2...3

Just like the famous saying all things come in three's. Well we were once again reminded that this is true. Starting last Tuesday we had a tree fall over on the side of our house on the fence in between ours and our neighbors yard. Well last night we were hit so hard by a storm that again we lost 2 more trees the one that sucked the most was the one that fell over in our driveway that blocked us in since their was no way to get around it unless we drove threw the yard and around it. Kevin was thankfully able to take a company truck and trailer to pick up a friends tractor to pull it of the drive way until we have a chance to cut it up!

Taking a dip

This was such a perfect buy Prestyn played for 3 hrs and loved sliding and splashing as much as he wanted. He even enjoyed holding his breath under the water and did a great job at doing it only once did he gag on the water after trying to drink the water with his face in the water! The palm tree becomes a water fall and helps provide some shade. for everything it offers the 24 dollars I paid was extremely worth it!

Johnny Apple Seed

He insisted as wearing this for a hat all day and was very entertained all day by it!

I finished It!!!!+

Yeah I finished sewing Prestyn's comforter for his new bed and I love it! I fell in love with this print when I saw it and had to use it. Prestyn loves loves his new big boy bed and usually spends most of the day playing on it!

Prestyns Program :)

Prestyn had his last day of school today :( and in the honor of it and the graduation for the 4yr old moving on they put together this cute program. I loved seeing Prestyn up there unfortunately all of my pictures came out a little blurry. They started it out with a slide show of all the pictures they took thru out the year I ordered a copy of it so when it arrives I will post it for you all. Watching him today was a little sad seeing how fast he is growing up, my baby is becoming a little man!
