My little girl is 5

I can't hardly believe that my little girl just turned 5. Preslie had a birthday on October 22nd and I can't get over that she is growing up so fast. I decided to go through all of our old pictures and post a few of her. Preslie is an amazing little girl. She is so sweet and loves everybody! She is the best big sister. She is always so kind to include Mayci in the things that she does and loves to help out with her little brother Beckem. She is a great helper and loves to learn. She enjoys dance class, soccer, pre-school, and loves to play with her friends and cousins. She has gone through a lot already in her little life with her health. She is doing absolutely wonderful now, but had some trials that I believe made her even a stronger little girl than she already was. We love Preslie and feel so blessed to have her in our family. I thank Heavenly Father everyday for sending her to us! We love You Preslie and Happy Birthday to the cutest 5 year old in town! 5 months old

We have a beautiful bride in the back with bat girl, cute little witch, ladybug, and a darling mermaid.

Little Beckem wasn't in the last picture. He is wearing a mummy outfit.

Grandma prepared a wonderful dinner for all of us and a cute but creepy cake. Grandpa hid sacks full of treats for all the grandkids to find. It was a fun birthday party!

Party #2 Chuck-E-Cheese

Chuck-E-Cheese, where a kid can be a kid!Porter and Preslie have been friends since birth. They were even in the hospital together when they were born. Porter is 2 days older than Preslie. They live practically next door to eachother and have a great friendship. We celebrated their birthdays together with the neighborhood kids at Chuck-E-Cheese. They all had a great time. What a fun group of kids!!

Party #3

OCTOBER 22ND

This is Preslies actual birthday! She is officially 5 years old today. She woke up and said that she was taller and felt like she was older now. Preslie had school today and was able to take her favorite treat to school to share with her class. She chose Krispie Kreme doughnuts with sprinkles. Her teacher sent her home with a poster to fill out about herself prior to her birthday to bring to class and talk about it with them. These were some of the questions. (She answered them by drawing pictures.)

*What do you want to be when you grow up? A Princess

*Do you have a pet? Yes, Socks...my kitty (its a stuffed animal)

*What is your favorite food? watermelon, hot dogs, spaghetti (I think those were just items that she could draw. Although she does really like hot dogs)

*What is you favorite color? Pink and Purple

She drew a picture of herself and her family. And had a list of names of all her friends.

Later after school she had dance. She took suckers to her class to share with them for her birthday. While Preslie was at dance Brandt, Mayci, Beckem and I were home preparing dinner that Preslie requested. *Ham *Mashed potatoes *Green Beans *Green Jello *Red punch and *Fruit. We set the table with the "you are Special" plate at her seat and a Tinkerbell Happy Birthday sign above the table. When she got home we all yelled surprise. She was so excited. We later opened presents and played with them and then called it a night!

Party #4 Miles Family

This year Preslie decided to have everyone dress up for her birthday party. We celebrated her birthday on Friday October 24 th with a fun Halloween theme, and the Miles clan.

Bull Dog Baby

We just thought this picture was cute. He looks like the little bulldog on his hat. Yep, my babies start chunkin up about now!

The proud big sister! Mayci loves holding her "buddie" any chance she can.

You can milk anything with nipples!

I went into the girls room to check on them, I found this. Preslie sound asleep with her cat (Socks) up her shirt. I asked her in the morning why socks was up her shirt and she got embarrassed and said that Socks was hungry.
Socks is a special cat. Preslies cute cousin Harlee gave her this cat when Preslie was in the hospital. This cat was Harlees, and her favorite cat to say the least. She was worried about Preslie and gave her that cat to make her feel beeter. Preslie has loved this cat ever since and obviously takes very good care of it! Thank you Harlee for making Preslie so happy when she was in the hospital.

The Witches Brew

Last Thursday I was invited to a fabulous party for witches only. There were tons of witches everywhere, all decked out and not one the same. The party had a delicious feast, games, spells and prizes. It was a great witch night out! Cackle... Cackle.....

Field Trip

Preslie's pre-school went to Black Island Pumpkin Patch in Syracuse for a field trip. Brandt was kind enough to come home for a couple of hours and watch Mayci and Beckem while I was able to go and be with Preslie.

Preslie had a great time. She loved going down this big slide, bouncing in the pumpkin bounce house, watching the pigs race, riding on tractor with her friends, picking out her very own pumpkin, and learning all about the different types of crops.

Maddy, Preslie, Porter and Hunter.

My buddie!

Beckem and his buddy Roc. Well the two of them are finally here. Born just six days apart. Roc was born Sept 18th, anxiously awaiting Beckems arrival. The two of them I'm sure will be great little buddies. Hopefully not causing to much trouble around the neighborhood.
p.s. Beckem is in blue. Roc is in green.

The big 30!

Yes it is true! Take those three candles and x's it by 10. On October 8th I turned thirty. It was a good day. Beckem aloud me a decent night sleep and the girls and Brandt spoiled me rotten. I told Brandt over and over I did not want to do anything on my birthday considering I just had a new baby. You just don't feel all that hot. All you mothers would understand that. He acknowledged my wish but still wanted to make my day special. We went to lunch and later opened presents. Aaron and Brita surprised me with a wonderful dinner and a 30 blows cake. She had 30 Blow pops in a yummy carrot cake, all for me! Later the girls and Brandt filled up my tub with candles all around it . They had some soothing music playing in the background and had it smelling just like a day spa. The girls brought me my robe and led me into the day spa for a nice relaxing evening. It was a 30th birthday to remember.
