Pirate and Princess Party!

My Dad and Mary generously bought us all tickets to this party at the Magic Kingdom. There were only a couple thousand people there...compared to the 100,000 that the park holds it really felt like we had the place all to ourselves. We had great seats for everything and waited in line for nothing! The kids (and kids at heart) were all dressed up and searching for the hidden treasures! And Jason and I got to enjoy a very nice, quiet dinner on the patio while the others took care of Preston. Very fun!!!

Snow Again!

Below are some pics I took of the beautiful snowfall last Thursday.  It was the second time for it to snow last week, but we missed Monday night's because we were out of town.  When I heard that it snowed I was a little bummed to have missed it.  I'm a sucker for all things Colorado...mountains, skiing, and of course SNOW.  So you can imagine my delight to find the white wintry mix had visited us twice in one week.  In Texas!  I felt like it was a gift from God, just for me.  Do you ever feel like that?

Snow falling, falling, fallling.
It's actually sticking!
Watch out.  Bella makes yellow snow!
Bella - just a tad bit excited about the snow.
More snow.
P's reaction to the winter wonderland.
Daddy came home to play too!

Ten Months!

Happy Ten Months!
Look what I can do with my tongue?

My sad face.
Hanging out with Bella...wishing we were both outside.
Dearest Preston,

I'm over a week late in posting this for your ten months.  But that's very characteristic of me...great intentions, but a little late!  But if I were to be truly honest I would say I've been avoiding this post.  I'm finding it harder and harder to add words to pictures.  I feel like I can't describe all of you in just words.  It's been amazing to watch you delight in life.  You are curious about everything and want to take it ALL in.  I love to watch you giggle, and just tonight we had you laughing so hard that your dad and I looked at each other in disbelief...thinking, "Isn't this so fun?"  You are pulling up on anything in sight and love to stand tall.  Sometimes you fall hard and bump your head.  But I'll scoop you up and you'll just rest your head on my shoulder.  It seems to do the trick because seconds later you're ready to go again. and again. and again.     

Oh how thankful to the Lord we are for you.  You bring so much joy!

Disney Pics...I haven't forgotten!  I promise to post them soon.

MICKEY!!

I'm posting from Disney World!! We are here on vacation because my parents so generously decided to take us all on a trip here. It's been fantastic! We already have hundreds of pics, and I don't have much time but wanted to leave a few teasers for now. I'll post a full report when we return!! Until then, Have a Magical Day! ;)
We've been eating AAHHH-Mazing food! Here's one of the best salads I've ever put in my mouth! This was just the appetizer...it was followed by Lobster, and then a delicious dessert!
One of the rooms in our cute condo. A wonderful place to stay...and yes, that's Mickey made on our bed out of towels! Disney thinks of everything...every detail!
Not the best shot, but I was trying to get a shot of them on the boat..one of the MANY ways of transportation here at disney. Just this week I've been on planes, boats, roller coasters, rafts, taxi's, buses, monorail, hang-glider (it's a ride here). anyways, you get the point...we've been busy!
