undoubtedly this has been the best two weeks of my summer...my only summer break. its fun to be able to be around preston more than just 30 minutes a day. it seems like he has grown and learned a lot in the past 2 weeks! he is close to crawling. he knows how to get his butt in the air, but the part where he is supposed to use his arms doesn't click. he uses his face instead. i thought it would be painful for him, but turns out it's extremely exfoliating. his skin is so clear.

i realized a lot of people take pictures of themselves, hold out their arms and *snap* they have their new facebook picture to show off a new hair cut, hat, shirt, nose job...whatever it is. preston took this picture because he wanted to show you his beautiful cheeks.

well... where can i start now ...and how is this blue now?

We went to Table Rock Lake over near Branson Missouri. We usually do Lake Powell but because of location and travel time for the little one, Table Rock was a better choice.

Dad grew a ginormous hubbard squash. it was his baby. he cut it right down the middle to find that there was a knife inside the squash already! jess.... you devious girl. hah. well jess got the blame which was superb, but really clint and i conspired. jess was scared because she knew how much dad loves his squash.

clint is a pro bass fisher. he caught our first fish which we hesitantly threw back.

i ate my fair share of rice patties... yes reagan. rice patties. thinking of using this as my facebook profile picture... ok. rice patties - they are now equivalent in goodness to ritz crackers since i can no longer partake of ritz crackers. i wore myself out.

michelle likes reading books about realtors and mystery by some author who is good... shows how much i know. preston assisted her a bit in this attempt to finish her new book. he didn't read much but added in dooming squeaks...

preston loves the boat. he loves the noise of wind in his face. sometimes he forgets to breathe as the air rushes by, but he's still alive so he didn't forget that much. he loves the water when introduced slowly. he loves tubing!

excited?

non-moving boat...

vs.

moving boat...

preston felt like the paparazzi was following him everywhere. he couldn't eat a bottle without on of us all up in his grill. i dont know how grandpa knows how to feed babies in his sleep, but i guess he had 4 of us to practice with...

oh yea, he eats real food now. what a big boy. reaaaaaal big boy.

im on a boat (clean) enough said. on top of that, the great thing you can extrapolate from this picture is who has been stuck inside reading text books all summer...nerd.

we went to the Talking Caves which Preston really liked. the caves smelt like disney land to me.

closing up the week was hard, especially because the water was so nice! it was warm, it was smooth and it treated us right - similar to how a dog lover would treat his dog that he loved...right. i hope i clarified that for you.

.......................................................................................

now we are in Boise and having a grand old time... preston loved his first airplane ride. he loved staring out the window, and loved being by the jets. they put him to sleep in a way that a few valium would do to an adult.

something was hilarious about vomiting at the dinner table to preston. after he rid his stomach of the bottle we gave him 5 minutes earlier he was crazier than ive ever experienced...and ive experienced.

nearly the whole fam damily (kandi...heh) came up to boise to see preston preform his many tricks. lauren caused that this picture be observed, and so it is. he is pretty excited in this picture. thats because he hadn't fallen on his head yet.

oh, about the 'falling on his head'... it was a lie. he never did. at least not this time. ask reagan about his king size bed experience. that should be fun.

so...heneyways...

more to come on life without school! .......... ........... ..........

Can You Hear Me Now?

Yes ... you would be able to hear me, but I couldn't hear you. Yes ... I can still call people but if they actually answered I couldn't tell. Nor could I tell who I was calling or who was calling me.

Yes ... there is a story behind this

Today (Sunday) Matt was at his usual meetings and I was getting Preston ready to meet Daddy for Sacrament meeting. I gathered all my things together; Preston (in car seat) and Sister Exby's glass dishes (from the dinner she made us when Preston was born ... whoops) in one hand, diaper bag, car keys and cell phone in the other and headed towards the car. Now there is about six stairs leading to our front door and that's where trouble starts.

Reagan+high heels+stairs+full hands= disaster.

Being the quick-thinking-super-fantastic multi-tasker that I am when I started to trip I had enough time to think... "Hmmm ... which hand should I drop the contents of so that I may stabilize myself on the hand railing?" As you can probably guess by the pictures I chose to save my child over the diaper bag, car keys, and my phone ... thus the terrific realization that

I definitely need a new phone

FOUR MONTHS!!

Preston is four months old today!
He loves his toes
He talks non-stop
He's still a wiggly worm
And he can roll from his back to his tummy now!

Sorry ... haven't gotten that on video yet.

Happy Four Months Presto!

hi

so preston cries like a real boy child. i say that cuz he is doing it now. my goooooooooodness! sometimes his laugh is hard to distinguish from his cry...or his laugh turns into a cry, and speratically his cry will shoot to a laugh. regardless, i dont know how reagan is so patient. it is one of the mysteries of life.

we have helped preston expand his horizons lately. i dont fully know what that means but it makes us look like good parents i think. really we watch a lot of House now, which Preston enjoys. Reagan and preston do some fun baby yoga -- i stand ready to help if either of them get too exhausted.

preston is very VERY talkative, if we can call it talking yet. its pretty entertaining. actually, just the other day i got his first word out of him. you can take a look see for yourself....

he has made new discoveries...

enjoys a good upside down moment or two each day...
eats fake flowers cuz they taste like dust...
feels sad cuz there is no food in our cupboards... please. please. help us feed this little child....haha. no dont. the kid is a CHUNK!

A NEW ADDITION!!!

So as you all know, preston is just amazing. He is still a monster and destroys bottles with his bottomless pit of a stomach... He does slobber like a beast hound. Luckily we received a cute little kerchief of sorts in the mail from Shelle. Good timing Shelle. Good timing.

SO! We have an announcement for you all because our little family is NOW going to be a bit bigger!

Sorry we cant call all of you to tell you individually and personally, but we love you!

Scroll down for the first pictures!!!!

Besos y abrazos --
