Preston - Perfect 10

Happy 10th Birthday Preston. You are the "Man", and one loved guy!! Getting ready for your birthday celebration. Have a safe trip down. See ya tomorrow. Love Nana.

My, how the years have past...2nd birthday.

Treats from Oregon

Been awhile since last reporting on what's happening with my kids up north. Looks like they are taking advantage of the final days of October.

At the Pumpkin Patch (Justin, Preston & Regan)

"Bossy the Cow" found the boys in the maze,
or they found her.

Preston and "friends" - all smiles!

Can you believe it? These guys are in Alisha & Todd's backyard.

Special Mother's Day Present

Talked with my grandson Preston on Mother's Day - and what a great conversation we had (although I mostly listened). He talked about riding his bicycle, and his motorcycle and the Quad on the ranch. Also, he told me about playing baseball, shooting his BB gun, and the other things he, Justin and Regan had done. Normally he talks only a couple of minutes but this time it was closer to 15 minutes. What a special Mother's Day present he gave me.

His mom emailed some pictures too, and wanted to share them.

Coast Time in Oregon

Thought I'd share a few photos of what's happening in Oregon. Alisha and Todd took the kids to Florence Oregon to enjoy some family time. Looks like Preston, Regan and Justin had a good time. (It reminded me so much of the days when our kids were small, and we'd take them off to Pismo to ride in the dunes)

Hugs, Squeezes, Kisses & Slobbers

Wishing My Love Bugs A Special Fun-Filled Day!!

Preston - The Best!

Happy Birthday Preston

9 years old

You are the best! and such a very special young man, with a loving heart that overflows into others lives. You have such a beautiful smile (just like your mom), a great little laugh, and do you know how to entertain me, Papa and Aunt Kel. I see you as the master of Legos, the genius at math, the MVP of football, the greatest of fishermen, a caring friend to all, and the most wonderful of grandsons. Have a wonderful birthday!

I Love You Dearly,
Nana

PS: And to please you, I will like the Oregon Ducks too.

My Favorite Angler

Here's what's happening with my grandson, Preston. He really has a passion for fishing, and seems to be quite at home in the water. Living in Bend Oregon offers him an angler's paradise with the adjacent 100-plus lakes, streams and rivers. In these pictures, he is enjoying the attributes of fishing in the Fall, which many say is better than in any other season (water cools and fish feed before winter sets in).

This is one of the guys Preston was trying to desperately catch but it just sat there and snubbed its nose for a couple of hours. Crazy thing was that although it wouldn't bite at the bait right in front of its nose, when the bugs would land on the water it would jump up and eat them.

Keep on catching 'em Pres, and I'll try to make it up to enjoy a fish fry one of these days. By the way, You Are the Man, and definitely are my favorite fisherman.
