Preston turns 7!

Mr. Preston is now a big 7 year old. I can't believe it! He is getting so big.

For Preston's birthday this year he wanted to go Ice Skating. So we decided to take the boys on Friday night. But when we got there, the place was so packed. So we talked talked the boys into coming back the next day and we would be the first in line and then we would have longer to skate. So we ended up going to watch Papa and his group sing and a pizza place. Then we took Preston to the mall and let him pick out his own clothes and shoes for his birthday. He thought that was awesome. Then we came home and had cake and ice cream.

Then on Saturday we went Ice Skating. Which I should have taken pictures, but I didn't, but it was pretty darn funny. The boys couldn't stay up on their skates for anything. By the end they got the hang of it. But a lot of time was spent on the their behinds. :)

I also surprised Preston at school on his birthday with balloons and a treat. Mason and I delivered them to his classroom and he thought that was pretty cool. His teacher is in our ward so I talked to her the Sunday before to make sure she was ok with it. So she knew I was coming and let me take pictures.

I think he had a great birthday. No big party this year. But he got to have several fun things, so that was ok with him.

Here are some things that Preston is and loves at 7.

He is in 1st grade and absolutely loves it. He loves his teacher and is learning so much.

He now loves to read and is reading really well. He has improved so much this year.

He does not like waking up in the morning and wants to take 3o minute showers every morning. It's a constant battle.

He loves clothes and shoes. And always wants to be stylish.

He loves to run and is always trying to run faster and faster.

He has the most contageous laugh and smile. When he's smiling and laughing, you can't help yourself, you have to laugh too.

He is getting much better at doing his chores. He is now unloading the dishwasher among other things. And has done really well at keeping his room clean.

He doesn't like red sauce for anything, spaghetti, etc. He does however, love white sauce, aka Alfredo. :)

He does like onions, peppers, which the other boys can't stand. And we can get him to try just about any kind of food at least once.

He loves to jump rope. I mean LOVE LOVES! He can do it forever and just keeps jumping and jumping. Little energizer bunny.

He is most of all the sweetest, and best person to get a hug from.

We love you Preston!!!
