Lots of firsts!

It's hard to believe that Preston is already 3 weeks old. He already seems so big!!
I never thought I'd be so in love with something so fast, but we're kind of obsessed over him. But for good reason. The kids super cute.

The past week brought about lots of new things for him, and for us as we experienced them with him. Things like. . .


1st big boy bath!
Yeah, he screamed the entire time. But he always cry's whenever we take his clothes off. And really thats the only time he lets loose and screams. Most of the time its just little fussy noises or fake crys (we learned how to spot those real fast). He is getting a liiiitttle better with the screaming in the bathtub, and promptly stops as soon as he's wrapped up in his monkey towel.





1st time going to church!

His church outfit is the only one with pants that actually fit him. He looked like a real boy all dressed up! He did well, until the opening song. Then he got the HUGEST frown on his face and started fussing. I dunno, maybe he just didn't like the song.




1st time going for a walk!

I really think he enjoyed being outside. We walked up to Bashas to pick up some more formula and milk, and he was very content the entire time. I was concerned the whole time about making sure the sun wasn't in his eyes, and he was concerned the whole time with trying to eat his sweater. We make a good team.





1st day being alone...

Patrick went back to work on Wed after being home for 3 weeks. Needless to say it was a very different kind of day for me and Preston. We didn't get much done, but we had a good day. Just a couple of redheads hanging out together.




OH! And as for other updates on the goings on around here, Andrew got his mission call to Tallahassee, Florida and leaves March 24th. And Jimmy got accepted to BYU Provo & BYU Hawaii. He's still making the decision on which one to attend, but he'll probably be leaving in July to start preparing for school. So after July it'll just be the 3 of us living here- which will be another 1st. And Jack of course.
