9 month pics

Here are Preston's 9 month pictures we got taken today. Like usual, he took awhile to warm up and is not very willing to give smiles to strangers. She was able to get a few good ones with a little help from goofy Daddy and Mommy. The first 11 pictures are ones that we ordered in some way or another and the rest are just ones I thought were cute. We also wanted to say Congratulations to Jeremiah and Lynn Treloar who had their baby girl late last night. Her name is Rowan Lily and she is 5 lb, 13 oz and 21 inches long.

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.

Preston went to the carnival with Mommy and Daddy. He got to ride another carousel! This one was a lot more bumpy than the one at Adventureland.

Molly accidentally made some lefsa that looked like the United States. We had to add Florida :)..and then take a picture.

We celebrated Grandpa Kyle's birthday (which was on the 1st) with some cupcakes on Sunday.

Adventureland

Grandma Diane got some cheap tickets to Adventureland on Saturday, so she treated us to a fun-filled day at the theme park. Preston got to go on a few rides and it was nice cooling off at the new Kokomo Cove water attraction.

Grandma D loves it too

"I'm hot, give me some of that water people!"

Splashing at Kokomo Cove

Water comes out everywhere so it is impossible not to get soaked at this place!

Preston and Aunt Molly in Kokomo

Mommy won this spikey football because the lady at Adventureland guessed that she was 23 years old :)

"Mom, Can I please play with your cell phone?"

When Mommy was getting ready one morning, Preston decided to destroy his bedroom, with a smile on his face of course.

Mommy, Aunt Paige, Grandma Diane, and Preston went to get pedicures and manicures last week. Preston wanted to dip his feet in the nice warm tub too.

Happy Father's Day

Hi. This is Preston. I just wanted to tell my Daddy that I love him very much and that he is the best Daddy in the world! He is an amazing Daddy and takes great care of me. I smile when he walks into the room and he can always make me giggle! I know we are going to have lots of fun together. Mommy also wanted me to tell Daddy that she is so proud of him for being such a wonderful husband and Daddy. Happy Father's Day Daddy!

This picture is of Daddy and me when I was about 1 week old. Wow- I was little back then! The picture below is from this week when Daddy and me were playing in the pool. Isn't my Daddy awesome!
PS- I also want to say Happy Father's Day to my Grandpa Kyle and Grandpa Larry! I am so lucky to have so many people that love me!
