New SandBox

So daddy decided he really wanted to make Preston a sandbox when he saw him having the time of his life playing in dirt. However we saw this one on sale and decided to give it a go. He loves to throw the sand around and smash anything fun I build with the sand.

Let's see....I had been outta high school for almost a year and lived in Half Moon Bay, CA in a basement apartment with my high school best friend Lisa Duncan. I worked for a life insurance company and loved it. I was dating Rommer Cabebe. Boy....was that quite the story in its self! I was having fun being 18 and doing whatever the heck I wanted to. I didn't have to listen to anyone or be home at any certain time. I really took advantage of that. I went a little over board! I drove a Chrysler Laser. Does anyone remember those? It was like KIT, it talked when your door was open, you needed gas or whatever. My sister Jen owned it first then I took it over. I lived right up the street from my best friend since junior high, Tracy Victorino. That was so fun!

Finally a walker!

Preston decided with he and I were in California the first weekend of March that he was going to take his first steps. After that, he has loved it and walks everywhere. Here is a video of him walking today.


I kept asking him to say "wiggle wiggle" because that is his new word of choice. Pete and I laugh every time he says it. It's too funny!

Sleepover with the cousins

So last week I decided to have my two oldest nephews over for a sleepover on their springbreak.
We ordered pizza, had rootbeer and watched Chicken Run with a HUGE bowl of popcorn! Preston just loves to play with kids older than him, especially his cousin Corbin. Corbin can always make him laugh. Here are a few pictures of that night.

Crazy Kid!

So this morning I was doing my house stuff as usual and I heard Preston laughing up a storm. I walk in the livingroom and found this:

I just laughed my butt off. He is pretty darn good at entertaining himself these days!
