Birthday time for P.I.E

Posted on by

11 years ago I became a mom for the first time.  Such a scary but beautiful time in my life.  I can’t believe that 11 years has past.  I can tell you that I feel very blessed to have Preston in my life.  So funny that when he was younger he hated it when people would call him other names.  For example his grandpa T. would call him George (he does it to all the kids) and Preston would get so upset.  Now he loves it when people call him PIE.  Those happen to be his initials.  Preston has always been so compassionate toward others.  He has a wonderful spirit and I can always count on him to make good decisions.  He is a great helper and always the first to tell me how much he appreciates the things I do.  I love this guy and wouldn’t trade him for anything.  Here is 11 years of photos from ages 0-11.  Now everyone can see how much he has grown.

Easter

Right before church. Looking pretty all dressed up.

Right before church. Looking pretty all dressed up.

We had a great Easter Sunday last week.  We did our traditional Easter egg dyeing on Saturday evening.  After church on Sunday we had the kids look for eggs in the backyard.  This has become a tradition of ours this is the 7th or 8th year that we have been doing this.  We prefer doing the egg hunt in our back yard rather than fight the crowds of people at the public hunts.  This year felt a little different than most.  I think next year we aren’t going to focus so much on the Easter bunny but rather what Easter is all about our Saviour.  I think we might have been missing that a little this year.  Corey and I did enjoy singing with the choir at church and when I asked the kids at dinner what they thought Easter was they did tell me all they learned about Jesus Christ.  So it wasn’t totally missed.  Maybe it was just me but next time we are going to remember a little better.
