Enjoying Mommy Time

Well just in time for the weather to get really hot, Mommy has to go back to school. Student teaching starts in just a few short weeks. This is exciting because I will graduate in just a few short months! I will miss my little buddy though. We have enjoyed our summer together and we will enjoy many more summers together too. I keep reminding myself that I am very lucky to get to spend this much time with him and that love a profession that allows me to be with my son a lot! Well on to the fun pictures!



Mommy and Preston snuggling!

The City Nelson's came to visit us a few weeks ago. Preston and Ava spent lots of time in the toy room playing!

Preston and his good buddy Lennon at Wild Life Prairie Park


Preston thought he'd give Lennon a ride. He showed his super baby strength pushing him across the thick carpet.

Mommy and Daddy have been spending lots of evenings at the park.

Preston playing with my second cousins, Hannah and Emma, from Colorado at a family reunion.

And we are seeing some progress in Ruby and Preston's relationship! Yes that is a smile on his face! I think they will be good friends.

Ruby snuggled up! She is quite the pup and she is finding her place in our family.

A Country Nelson's Summer

We have been so busy this summer and we haven't left the house! Jeremy and I have a list of projects to do that extends over the next 5 years and this summer we had a list of 16 items to complete! We have finished all but 3! Included on the list was to finish siding and putting new electric garage doors in the garage, put the new pool up, and actually get a garden in! Those jobs and several other small things are finished and we added train a new puppy to the list;) (or I added that) Next summer there are several other projects that are added to the list but they are much bigger! A covered porch and deck around the pool is on the list. Let's hope we are as successful as we were with this summer's projects.

Here are a few new pictures of some of our projects and every one's reason for visiting this blog, Preston.


The garage! I love the new doors!! No more barn doors:)


The pool and Preston enjoying the pool! Thank you Papaw and Grammy for the way cool float. It is awesome.


Zucchini plant in the garden.


Up to no good!


Always fun!


Mommy does have time to cook nice meals! One of the many perks of having most of my nights off!


Still want what the other one has! We'll get there.

Trip to the Zoo

Yesterday we took Preston to the zoo for the first time! Daddy took off work early and got to go with us!! Here are some pictures of our day.
Daddy and me checking out the monkeys.
I got really close to an Emu
We are so silly!
I liked looking at the fish!
