Big Brother

Preston is an awesome big brother. This is how I found my boys the other night.
Stockton wanted a book, and Preston was more than happy to read to him. These pictures make my heart happy. His helpfulness doesn't stop at reading though. He is (almost) always willing to help out with his brother and sister when needed. He helps find shoes and retrieves balls that have been thrown over the fence. He sets a good example, and runs little errands for me. I don't know what I would do without my big boy! I love it when he leans down to Stockton, hugs him and says "I love you buddy, I missed you." I get to hear it every day when we pick the older kids up from school. If I could freeze Preston at this age I would. I want to keep him sweet and kind and helpful forever!
Stockton still LOVES to be the baby brother. He loves to see the kids after they have been gone, and he makes you feel like a million bucks just for showing up!


P.S. I love it when Preston wears thermals as pajamas! Hilariously tight and cute!
P.P.S. The book is called "My Name Is Bob" and its about a boring bear. My family was mad when I took it back to the library. They all loved reading it-including the dad!

So funny about the thermal pajamas. I was thinking as I was reading it, why on earth do they make little kid pj's fit like that. Can you imagine how ridiculous we would look like if that's what we slept in, especially our husbands?! What's wrong with good ol' baggy pajama pants?

I'm not judging. It's all that's out there. Somebody needs to start making something else!

Dear Heather,
I so much enjoyed the pictures of your boys. Preston is certainly a gem....and Stockton is right on his tail.
I Love you
Dad

Heather,
These moments are priceless. Nothing like brotherly love! I too would freeze my kids at the age they are RIGHT this very moment if I could.

Holy cow... I LOVE Preston's PJs. Everytime I'd babysit I'd make him wear his legging pjs because he's so dang cute in them! I miss you guys
