Celebrations

The month of July has brought on some more celebrating. First off- Daddy turned 30 on July 21st- wow- he is sure getting old :) Grandma Diane and Grandma Sue also celebrated birthdays and both Grandpa's are retiring. So, Happy Birthday and Happy Retirement!!!

For Daddy's birthday, we went out to eat at Felix & Oscars."These breadsticks are too good for a picture, Mommy."

This picture was taken after Preston dumped a whole glass of water on Mommy because he wanted to sit in the big boy booth like Daddy. Fun times out to eat in soaked clothes! Daddy and Preston blowing out the candles on his ice cream cake

Preston and Haley playing bags at Great Gma and Gpa Eichmeier's. They had a nice get-together and we got to see some family that we haven't seen in awhile.

4th of July Weekend

The weekend of the 4th we traveled back to Ventura for the holiday. It was a nice, long weekend, despite the rain on the 4th. We saw some friends we haven't seen in awhile, which is always nice.

When we arrived at Gma & Gpa Eichmeier's, Preston looked through the whole tub to find this "mo mo" he played with previously. And then Gpa and Gma bought him another "mo mo!" He loves playing "mo mos" now! We decided to go downtown and listen to the band on Friday night. Here are the boys.
And ladies

On Saturday, we went to Rowan Treloar's 1st birthday party. Look at her cute outfit!

Cutie pie- Hazel Dillavou

The Dillavou party was packed with little kids and tons of cool toys.

Gus Dillavou- he was upset with me after I took this picture because he firmly told me not to take a picture of him :)

Preston enjoyed jumping on this trampoline with Gus. Preston is on Daddy's shoulders and Will is talking to him.

"I can do it Grandpa."

Preston's 1st sparkler

He wanted more and more sparklers to be lit so he could watch them. He did a good job of staying far enough away from them so he wouldn't get burned.

Fun Times with Aunt Paige

Aunt Paige came back from Costa Rica the end of June and spent a few days with us in Altoona. Preston had been practicing her name and said it moments after she arrived ("Pai"), which Aunt Paige loved! Here are some pictures of their fun times together.

Aunt Paige brought this dump truck for Preston- awesome! Preston showed Aunt Paige how gentle he is with the kitty by running a truck over her head :)
