4th of July

We have a lot of pictures from the 4th of July weekend so get ready! On Thursday night, we traveled back to Ventura to stay the weekend at Grandma and Grandpa Eichmeier's house. Preston also loved spending time with his cousins on the 4th of July. We even got to see Great Grandma Doris and Great Grandpa Louis. Preston enjoyed hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa while Mommy and Daddy went boating, went out with friends, out to eat, and to watch the fireworks over the weekend. On Sunday, we went to church to see Grandpa Larry give the sermon. He did a great job. On the way home, we stopped in Hampton at Great Grandma Mary's to make lefsa for the cabin in a couple weeks. Preston also had his 9 month appt last week. He is 24 pounds, 4 ounces, which is now only in the 93rd percentile! He is 28 3/4 inches long, which is in the 75th percentile. He didn't have to get shots at his 9 month, so he was happy about that! He gets his 9 mo pictures this Wednesday, so hopefully they turn out as good as last time.
