I would like to know where my dear little baby went.  I can hardly believe that my precious little baby is now 1 year old.  She is now walking, climbing, making messes all over the house, talking & so much more.  Becoming more independant all the time.  She likes to say "whasis?"  her way of saying what's this? as she holds something up.  So cute.  She said all done yesterday for the first time.  She also says bahbye.  She loves to climb up on Preston's desk & then screams for me to get her down.

She loved the frosting!

  find it hard to believe that our one & only son is 5!  Where have the last 5 years gone?  Seems like just yesterday that we were holding him in our arms for the first time.  Kind of bittersweet.  Preston has grown up to be quite the handsome young man & he is my biggest helper!  He sorts the laundry for me, hangs it up & brings it in.  Washes dishes, helps bake, cook & many more things.  He will be going through another year of preschool as his speech therapist & I felt he would benefit from another year of speech therapy.  We are planning to homeschool him too.  We are gonna do 1st grade and just take 2 years to do it.  He is very excited about the desk & all the books we got & can't wait to start.  He LOVES learning & just soaks it all up, so I'm hoping teaching him will be fairly easy.  Guess we'll find out.

Some pictures from Preston's birthday celebrations-

Preston chose this cake to take to school for treat.

Preston with his best buddy, Kendall.  We let him choose whether he wanted to have people over for his bday or go to a restaurant for supper & he chose to have Kendall & his family over.

This is the other cake he picked out.
