Preston helping with the laundry!

Yes that is Preston helping with the laundry. He decided to put daddy's shirt on, and yes that is his head thru the sleeve of the shirt

Car's

Conner and Preston playing car's today, and much to my amazement Preston can make the Vroom Vroom sound.

Aren't they cute playing together.

Dog pile!

It's always crazy here at the deJong house and this particular day was no different. The older boys decided they were going to Dog pile Madie, and of course she was game as always. They all take turns being on the bottom until someone get hurts, this time no one was injured. The only difference was that Preston wanted in on it, so we let him, boy did they have an awesome time.

McDonalds

This was Preston's first time having anything from McDonald's so of course we had to capture the moment.

Preston is 1!

Our little Monkey/Peanut/Baby is finally 1! It seems just like yesterday that I was holding this 7lb 11oz little bundle of joy, wondering what this new addition would bring to our family. He has defiantly brought a ton of laughter in to our home along with a calming affect - if any of you know him you would know what I mean, he just has this sense of peace with him all the time. Everyday I look at him and am just amazed at all the new things he can do or say (he can say Izaiah's name perfectly) and I am so looking forward to what this next year will bring and all the new things he will learn to do.

We have a Monkey!!

Yes we have a monkey and his name is Preston. This little boy sure can climb and fast, today when I ran upstairs to put a toy a way (I was gone for a whole 3sec) Preston managed to climb up the stairs - he almost reached the top by the time I came out of the room. We have to put a permanent gate at the top and bottom of the stairs now, lets hope everyone remembers to close it after going thru it.

Here are some pics that I was able to capture of him climbing random things through out the house.

Farewell Max

It's with a very sad heart the we had to give our dog away a couple of weeks ago. We found Max on craigslist and he seemed to be what we were looking for at the time. As time went on and with me becoming a stay at home mom I noticed that Max was becoming more and more left behind and neglected (just not being played with and loved like he should have been), needless to stay he was becoming very protective over us. With having little P home all the time and watching kids, Max spent most of his time in the garage or out side in the cold rain :(

With many weeks of debate and praying we decided it was time to list him and find him a good home. Well it only took one day on CL and we were able to find him a really nice family to take him and give him all the love and attention that he needed.

The boys took the news really well, but Madison was very heart broken and upset about it for two days. She really loved him and took care of him the most, they even slept together - which I know she misses very much. After explaining to her where he went and the type of people they were she was ok with it.

Farewell to a really great dog, we hope he is enjoying his new family.
