We love to play..in May!...

Preston had a really hard time at first with wearing his helmet every time he got on his bike. He thought dads helmet would work better. haha. Luckily he realized it was MUCH heavier and he's grown to like his own!

Lylah thinks shes big enough to play with the big boys!

I made this pencil skirt for Lylah...she looked ADORABLE in it!

Splash Pad fun with the Cluff and Rees familys! Love our friends!

Having fun at Grandma Coons!

We went to Cottenwood for the day to see our friends the Stockbridges. Preston loves playing with Camden and Saylor! I must say these are the cutest super heroes I've ever seen! 

We also got to go to Jump Street with the McCoys! Hudson and Preston are 2 peas in a pod!

My sweet sleeping angel...

This is how Preston wanted to "lay out" with Grammy! 

I have the best sisters EVER!

Preschool Graduation...

Preston had a little graduation ceremony! Technically he still has one more year of Preschool but he still got to walk and get a little certificate! I thought he'd be more excited about it but when it came time to walk out in front of everyone he was no where to be found haha. He got SO shy. His teacher ended up holding his hand and he was the last one out ( supposed to be the first ). It was still just about the cutest thing though! They sang songs and looked absolutely adorable in cap and gowns! 

Preston LOVES his teachers. And I know that they love him too. 

We are so lucky to have this smart little boy! He's already excited to start Preschool again next year!

Cali Day 5- Temple and Driving home...

Our last day of the trip just happened to be on Mothers Day! I slept in that day and Spencer had gone to go get some yummy donuts! I really wanted to stop by the San Diego temple on our way home. Gosh that temple is so beautiful! 


Oh how blessed I am to be a Mother. There is nothing I wanted more in this life then to have a family and be a mom I love them with my entire heart. I'm also so grateful that Heavenly Father sent me them. I would change nothing about them. Sure they both can be challening but I've never ever seen anyone more perfect for me then them. Heavenly Father sure knew what he was doing. They are the sweetest, cutest, most loving, fun, hilarious, needy ;), precious children I have ever laid my eyes on. And they are mine! I honestly am the luckiest. I hope my children always know how much a love them. I would do absolutely anything for them. 

I am also so blessed to have the most amazing Mother. I love her dearly. I also have a wonderful Mother in Law that raised the best man I have ever met. I am eternally grateful for the both of them!

Cali Day 4- Safari Park and Beach

For our last Full Day we went to the San Diego Safari Park first. We didn't spend much time here, it was so much walking and really hot. We were so tired from the last 2 days that we just weren't up for it. Some of it was cute though...the zebra in the tv actually talked with Preston. It was pretty hilarious!


After that we got ready for the beach. I wish we just planned to spend the whole day there...I love the beach! And the kids really enjoyed it. 




Danny and Tiffany playing in the water

Ron and Debbie!


Preston LOVED his sand castle...he was so sad when the shore got close enough to start washing it away!


Me and my love. Thanks for an amazing trip babe!

Cali Day 3- Lego Land...

This was probably Preston's favorite day EVER. All his lego dreams came true haha. Everything we saw he was in such awe over. So glad we got to bring him here!


Lego + Police = Preston's dream come true!

Preston got to drive this lego car and he was seriously the best driver out there...he was passing people and having a blast. Love him. 

Riding in a Police helicopter with Dad!

I loved the lego city's. They were amazing! Us in New York ;). 

The whole Fam!

Lylah wanted to tell me about EVERYTHING. The cars would drive around and she was amazed at them. She kept pointing to everything she saw!

We were a little smarter this day and paid the extra money for a battery operated wheel chair. No more pushing Spencer haha! Lylah had fun too!

Preston loved this huge spider!

He loved the knight stuff here too!

The kiddos after the day was over. They all had a blast!

Cali Day 1 & 2- Sea World...

We took a trip to San Diego California to take the kids to Sea World and Lego Land. We had an awesome trip!! Spencer's family ended up coming along too and we all had a great time. With Spencer just having surgery it REALLY helped to have them there. I really appreciated all the help we got! We didn't get into town until later the first night so we just hung around our hotel and swam in the pool! 




 Then we woke up the next day and headed to Sea World! This was my favorite day of the whole trip. I love Sea World! We had to head straight over to rent a wheel chair for Spenc haha. Preston wanted to be the one to push him...that didn't last long ha! Love those boys!



Preston got to touch a big huge turtle!

 We got to take a picture with this big turtle. Lylah LOVED him...she was smiling at him and was giving him hugs. It was the cutest thing ever!


Preston was so brave and rode the Atlantis ride with Daddy and Uncle Dan!


Cutest little Penguins! Lylah and Radley!

But these penguins are pretty dang cute too!! Preston and Aunt Tiff!

We got to see the whale, polar bear and walrus really up close. We were excited!




Spencer had to sit in the wheel chair section at the dolphin show. We were dying laughing at him because hes there with all these old people. He's too young for this! Preston was excited though cause they were pretty great seats! Both my kids loved the Dolphin show!


Lylah has a special place in her heart for her Grandpa. She wanted to watch the whole show with him!


Then we headed over to the Shamu Show! It was Lylah's nap time by then as you can see!



Before we left we headed back to Atlantis to ride it another time! We got a big group photo...some of us with our attractive ponchos! ;)

Love these sister in laws!

Preston got a super cool sword at Sea World! Love my little knight! 


Right before we left we decided to take a hilarious photo. We about died when we saw it. Riding a whale is like.. so fun!

That night we headed to old town and ate some super yummy mexican food and then wanted a dessert. We walked forever to get some really lame root beer floats haha! Luckily the town and shops were super fun to see! All in all we had a perfect day!
