I’m a little late on posting but Preston had a really great birthday week! We started it off by taking him by himself to the Zoo the sunday before his big day.
Here is he, Mr. Fearless (atleast this day) feeding the Giraffe all on his own. I can not say it enough but I LOVE the Giraffes! They are so beautiful! He had me laughing because everytime he went to give them some food, he would say… “ Mmmm….Nom Nom!” Such a funny kid!
Last year we took him for his birthday but he just wasn’t sure about all the animals. Now he runs around the house making all kinds of animal sounds so I knew he would enjoy himself much more!
He rode the carousel but from the look on his face wasn’t thrilled. Notice he’s on two different animals. That’s because he couldn’t decide which one he wanted to ride. Timmy kept moving him. Bless him is all I could say! LOL
On the Morning of his Birthday, since I took the day off, I decided to take him to Krispy Kreme for the birthday breakfast!
This was a first for him so he didn’t know which one he wanted…in the end he picked the one with the pumpkin face. Of course that doesn’t mean he ate it! :)
Of course mine and Timmy’s favorite are the HOT glazed ones! Those things are simply amazing! It’s not often we get some though because they are just too fattening!
Preston loved the hat of course and was more interested in running around than actually eating one. You know I was just enjoying taking pictures of my birthday boy!
After breakfast, we were going to get the kids out of school a little early and take them to the fair but we decided against it this year. Bottom line…it was just way to expensive! Not to mention filthy and I knew Preston wasn’t going to enjoy himself! So we decided to get a zoo membership because it’s something we have been wanting to do anyways and told the kids we would take them to Boo at the Zoo instead. Nicholas was a bit hesitant but realized he really didn’t have any say so went along with it. So….we took all 3 of them to the zoo AGAIN on his birthday.
It was the first time that we took all 3 of them and we had a great time! The kids hadn’t been in awhile either so it was a lot more fun then if we would have gone to the fair.
I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again…Preston LOVES his big sister! She takes such good care of him!
Nicholas is such a monkey boy! Loves to climb and jump and swing on everything! This was their idea for me to take pictures with all the Bamboo. I LOVE this picture of Ariel..she is so gorgeous and such a good girl.
We took a break to eat lunch where Preston fought my sister for her Icy…he thought it was the funniest thing! He won though because she ended up giving him the whole thing! It was his birthday after all! :) I just love his sweet little face!
Next, off to feed the birds! I love Ariel’s expression…Poor Nick didn’t realize that he was standing right under this little line that the birds sit on and apparently poop all over too so he had bird poop all over his arms! Nice huh! He scrubbed down pretty good afterwards though! Funny story…while I was taking pictures, this one little bird would NOT get off my shoulder! I mean I did everything along with Timmy and several other people and he refused to leave! After about 5-10 minutes he finally decided to surrender!
After the zoo we went home to celebrate with cake at Timmy’s parent’s restaurant only for Preston to pass out in the car and slept the rest of the night! No biggie…he had PLENTY of cake at his party saturday!
For his birthday, I bought him his very own chair…a Car’s chair to be exact and he gave me the reaction I was hoping for! As soon as I pulled it out the box and sat it up right he started screaming, clapping and jumping up and down and sat down in it! Seriously…the sweetest reaction and best that a parent could as for wouldn’t ya say! :)
I laugh everytime I see this picture because he look like your typical man…hanging out in his underwear,no shirt on, chilled to the side watching his show! All he really needs his the remote! :)
We had his party at my Dad’s house again this year. Unfortunately half of the guests didn’t show because all their kids were sick. If you remember, Preston was sick on his party day last year and this year it was the other way around. I was a little bummed but for those that did show, we had a great time and Preston knew it was his day unlike last year where he didn’t know what the heck was going on!
I had Jessica, the same girl from last year make his cake and cupcakes this year. I ended up having a very talented lady from Etsy make his cupcake toppers, birthday banner and invitation!
Notice that Preston’s shirt matches his cake! Jessica did such a good job on the decorating not to mention the cake! MMMM…We had half chocolate, half red velvet cupcakes and the same for the cake!
It’s safe to say that Preston’s birthday week was a success! I really can not imagine my life without this little guy and get pure joy out of seeing him happy!
