Gas!!!

I can't believe how much gas costs now. It is really changing the way we are doing things. It is forcing me to budget more and make some cutbacks on how much we eat out. I think that we will have to get to Sam's Club this weekend and stock up.

Vacation

Chris and I recently joined a vacation club, and we are anxious to get going somewhere. I am not sure where or when, but somewhere soon!

First Swim

This Memorial Day, Chris and I were off of work, so we went to my friend Allyson's house for the annual pool party. We were really excited about putting Preston in the water. At first, Preston didn't like it at all - but after a few minutes of sitting on the top step, we were able to get further in. I, of course, can't swim, so we put him in the floating tube and Chris took him around the pool. We had a great time!

Grapevine Main Street Days Festival

Yesterday we went to Grapevine's Main Street Days Festival. We were only there for a few hours but we had a great time! It was really hot though, so we had to load up on the sunscreen! 

As you can see from the picture, Preston got hurt on Saturday - he hit his face on the side of the bed while I was at a training. Chris called me right away and we got him all cleaned up.

Preston is walking!

Preston is doing great with the walking. I am excited that he has reached this milestone, but sad that my baby is growing up. Yesterday I had to go to a training for The Peanut Gallery and while I was gone, unfortunately, Preston hurt himself. Chris feels really bad because it was when he was watching him.  Preston was trying to get off the the bed - he knows how to get down legs first - and he slid down and scraped his face on the side of the bed. He didn't hit his eye or anything. Our tickets came in the mail for the Journey concert. I wish we could go, but we also bought tickets the same day for Arena Bowl XXII. The Journey concert is in Texas and Arena Bowl is in New Orleans. I had to list the Journey concert tickets for sale at StubHub.com.  I hope that someone buys them.

Staying home from work today

Well, when I got home from Restore the Core last night, Preston was walking everywhere! I was excited, but I felt guilty, because shortly after I got home, he was ready to go to sleep. I didn't get to spend any time with him. I decided to take today off from work so that we could just have a Mommy and Preston day - but of course it is raining. I will do  few loads of clothes and then we will head out of the house and do something fun!

Mother's Day 2008

What a great day! First we went to mass, then Chris surprised me with a delicious chocolate mousse cake that his friend Rosanna made. We decided that we wanted to go to Taste of Addison. It was a great time!! We sampled some food and looked at crafts. Preston loved the music. We saw a band made up of little boys that were really good. They have a website www.mojotedder.com.  After we left the festival, we decided to go to Best Buy to try to get me a new digital camera since mine is like 2 years old and apparently that is ancient in camera technology. The cameras all seem to have really cool features - many of which I probably would never use. Preston threw a fit in the store because the poor baby was tired, so we left empty handed. After he was asleep, we ordered take out from Outback and brought it home. We would have just eaten there but it was already 8:30pm. Chris told me that he had bought me pearl earrings, but when someone broke into his car the other day, they were stolen - bummer.

Preston 9-12 months

Dallas World Aquarium

Today we took Preston to the aquarium for the first time. He really liked it. It was the first time that Chris and I have been to that aquarium as well. 

Preston has 4 teeth coming in at the same time, 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom. He isn't having any trouble with them so far. He didn't have any problems with the first 4 teeth either.
