Our Peanut is 5!!

Last Saturday we celebrated Preston's birthday with a few of his friends and our family. He had a Ben & Jerry's Tie Die party!  It was super fun and delicious too. :)

The party started with making homemade chocolate ice cream!  Preston loved putting in the chocolate.

Then each friend got to tie dye their own t-shirt

Happy Birthday Preston!

The party friends, missing Cole

When we got home Pawpaw, Mark and Great Grandma joined us for the family part of the party.  We had Chick fil A lunch and opened gifts.  Of course, as usual, one of Preston's favorite gifts was his box of graham crackers from Great Grandma!

This morning we all celebrated Preston.  He got a book from Savannah and finally got his big boy car seat just like sissys!  He really wanted daddy to join us for our annual Chuck E Cheese adventure on his actual birthday so we went late in the afternoon and daddy joined us after work.

I don't think I'll ever tire of seeing Savannah read to her brother!

YES!  Chuck E Cheese birthday fun!!

This year even daddy got to join in the fun.

It's so hard to believe that Preston is 5!  He is a non-ending source of joy and laughter in our home.  Some of his favorite things to do are riding his bike and tractor, playing school with his sister, building legos, playing games as a family, and of course running around like all little boys do.  His big upcoming adventure is a run with daddy.  He has been saying for weeks that once he turns 5 he is going to get up early on Saturday with daddy and go for a boys run . . and he's totally serious!  He already reminded us that once we get back from our trip he has to start running with daddy. :)

Here are some of my favorite Preston sayings:
"Can I go bare footing?"
"I need some sun scream FOR I can put on my bathing soup!"
"Can I have some kretzels?" (yes he can say pretzels, but to him they are called kretzels!)
"I miss Ms. Farlene!" (our precious neighbor Marlene)
"Can we go to Roosters?" (Bruster's ice cream)

Preston we love you so much!!  I'm so thankful we have you home with us another year before big school starts.  May you never stop laughing, playing, and seeing the joy in life!
