On a Friday Morning Four Years Ago


This little boy entered our world. Happy Birthday Harrison. You are Interesting, adventurous, loving - you give the best hugs and everyone knows about it, tell me you love me like 100 times a day, feel no pain, can careless what anyone thinks about you and you have the biggest smile! We are so blessed to have you as our son.













A Passion for Singing












Preston loves to sing and he takes it very seriously. This last season he participated in the OCMCO Patriot Performance and the Segramstrom Hall. It was a lot of work, but well worth it.

We All Scream for Icecream

Harrison wanted to take Ice cream sandwiches to school for his birthday instead of the typical cupcake. So here they are, homemade cookies and everything. I have to say they were pretty tasty. We will be making them again.



Soccer AllStars

Harrison and Preston enjoyed playing soccer this spring. They played on the same field at the same time but in different age groups which made the experience wonderful for me. I wanted them to be able to run around, meet new friends, take direction from a coach and most importantly have fun. They earned patchs each week depending on what they did on the field. Harrison didn't really care what he got, just that he got one. Preston liked the Blood Patch, its the one you get when you get hurt and dont cry, just shake it off and play!

They were very proud of their trophies.

Harrison and his new friend Daniel. Whenever someone would get hurt Harrison would run over ask if they were okay and help them up. All the mom's fell in love with him.


This little girl Avery was in LOOOVE with Preston. She was all over him all the time. And when I say all over him, I am not kidding. He would be sitting on the sideline drinking water and she would come over sit on his lap and try to give him kisses. The girls these days.

Emma has learned just to hang out.


Here Preston and guess who's running next to him....you guessed it Avery.
I told you she was all over him!



Prestons team. He was the biggest...but not the oldest.

Harrison played hard....and sometimes giggled in the field.

We give soccer a thumbs up!

If You Feed Them They Will Grow














They grow up so fast and its not until you haven't had a baby in the house for a while that you
realize it. Emma is 6 months old...were did the last 6 months go? It makes me so sad that she will not remain a baby forever. I just want her to stay small, to hold her all day long, to rocker her asleep in the middle of the afternoon and just look at her. To see her smile at me when i get her out of bed in the morning and kick and squil when dad get home. I want to cherish these moments for tomorrow they will be gone. My dad always tells me "when they are small you will have lots of small problems, when they are big you will have less problems but they will be big ones, so enjoy the small things."

A Day at the Farm

We ALL went on a field trip with Harrisons class to the farm at the Costa Mesa Fairgrounds. They had a picnic lunch and then went to tour the farm. We saw lots of baby animals, plants and vegetables. We won't be going back!

We'll start with my favorite event of the day.
Ryder says - why are all those pigs sucking on little wienies

Harrison - those aren't wienies, their hungry

Kristin - walking away

Teacher - is someone going to explain to these boys

Kristin - your the teacher....teach

The boys had a good time.


This is the cow that all most killed us all, really it did. We were a little shaken up. Elizabeth and Carson got the worst of it. That's when we decided we would go to Disneyland next year with the kids and skip the field trip.





A of the classes at Harrisons school. Lots of friends!!




6 Years Later
















I can't believe 6 years ago Preston was born. It seems like just yesterday and in other ways it seems like forever ago that our family was made up of just Jeremy and I. This kid is the funniest boy ever! He is smart, caring and lives on structure. I am all to blame for the structure. He loooooves to be with his friends and also enjoys art. He requested a art birthday party at Chick fila, so thats what we did. A great time was had by all.
