8 Is Great!!

It was a special birthday for Preston this year, he turned 8! Here is the crew he invited to his party. We are so blessed that Preston has such fabulous buddies!
He wanted a Special Forces cake. It was a hit!!
Just before his baptism.
Preston felt loved and supported by his friends, Blake Taylor and Brit Flemming. What good boys!!!
The brothers.
We went to Sweet Tomatos after the baptism. It's Preston's favorite. We were lucky enough to have Grandma Coates in town. She gave Preston his Cub Scout shirt, and a journal. Both were very special gifts to him. We love you Grandma Coates!
Preston with Grandpa and Grandma Wilson. They gave him a really nice set of scriptures and a cool case. He brings them to church every week. We love you both!!!
More pics of the party. Crazy poses are our fave!!
CoCody made a "Pin the Football on the Special Forces Guy" poster for the party. The boys loved it!
Capture the Flag at the park.
Happy Birthday Preston!!
Ever since he was born Preston has been my easy going boy. He is very chill, and loves to relax and have quiet time. Preston loves school, Cub Scouts, basketball, football, and building things. He already says that he wants to be an electrical engineer when he grows up. It is fun to watch Preston with Legos, magnets, or anything else analytical. His mind loves to put things in order. We love this boy so much, and are proud of how he tries so hard in school and in everything that he does. Happy Birthday son! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Happy Birthday Preston! What a great boy you are! From all the time I've been reading your blog I have thought that Preston reminded me a lot of my Conner. They seem to enjoy the same things and think a lot the same way. Maybe it's a second boy thing? Anyway, you have a great family Monica. I love reading your blog and catching up with you and your sweet family.

Take Care,
