The Presson Family

Paul, Christian, and I went to Suson Park last weekend since the weather was so nice.  They have a small animal farm with horses, ponys, pigs, chickens, ducks, and goats.  Christian had such a good time looking at all the animals!  He loves being outdoors - no matter what we're doing he's happy when outside (which explains why he's covered in mosquito bites 99% of the time).  The poor kid looks like he has chicken pox today. 


















































































































































This would have been a decent picture if Christian didn't look drunk.  Lay off the sauce little buddy.  LOL!

Well we had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!  Paul and I both took Friday off to spend time with Christian and have a 4 day weekend.  I'm so glad we did that because I was very productive around the house.  I cleaned out Christian's closet - removed all the 12 month clothes that no longer fit.  ::sniff sniff::  Then I washed and hung all his new 18 & 24 month sized clothes for fall and winter.  He's got the cutest wardrobe ever...which is mostly Carter's brand - because they're good quality at a reasonable price...and adorable!!!  =)

We also cleaned the house - including scrubbing the bathtub.  Boy did it need it!!  It's so nice to take a shower in a CLEAN bathtub.  Other than cleaning we did some fun stuff this weekend too.  Saturday Christian and I took a roadtrip to Perryville, MO for my friend's baby shower.  Nikki Skinner is due November 24th and they are waiting to find out the sex (something I could NEVER do).  She got LOTS of nice things and the party was great! 

Sunday we spent with my parents - the Molter grandparents.  Since the weather was perfect we went to a park near their house and let Christian swing and play on the slide.  He was in awe of all the older children running around.  He wanted to chase right after them! 















































































































































We went to Growler's for dinner and sat outside in the beer garden.  Christian had his very first rib!  Something tells me he enjoyed it...


























































































After dinner we stopped at Fritz's for ice cream.  Christian had another first this weekend ...his very first ice cream cone!  He was a sticky mess afterwards.  It's a good thing toddler's are washable!  =)







































































Monday morning was spent SHOPPING!!!  My favorite thing to do!  I took my mom with us to Carter's and then Sam's.  Carter's was having a HUGE Labor Day Sale - you got an additional 20% off your entire purchase on top of all the other sales going on.  They had a bunch of summer stuff on clearance so I bought 2T for next summer.  I also had $20 off in cards so I saved almost $100 total!  I got some more winter stuff - tops, jeans, shoes, socks, and a couple of Christmas jammies. 

Here are some pics from last night before bed (someone was cranky).  Christian was playing with Sada so I got a video clip too.  I just love those new jammies.  They say, "Mommy's Super Hero" on them...sooo adorable!!!  Carter's of course  =)

***WARNING***
This is going to be a REALLY long post, but here goes...

We had a very busy...but very FUN weekend.  Friday night Christian loaded more money into his piggy bank.  I bet he has at least $50 in there now!  Rich little man =)



Then Christian and Paul had a tickle-fest before bed. 























































































































I can't believe how much more of a toddler than a baby Christian is looking like these days.  I mostly notice it in pictures - since I see him everyday I don't notice all the changes.  He's getting much thinner (losing baby fat).  Where did my baby go???  =(

Saturday my mom came over to watch Christian while Paul and I got away to celebrate our 2 year anniversary (Tuesday, August 31st).  We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in Chesterfield, MO.  Checked in at around 12:30 - ate lunch in the room (Subway and Edible Arrangement with watermelon, pineapple, cantaloupe, grapes, honey dew melon, and chocolate & peanut butter dipped bananas).  YUMMY!  Paul was in heaven!!!!  After lunch we saw "The Other Guys" movie, which was pretty funny.

Then we ate dinner at Kobe Steakhouse in Westport ...I LOVE that place.  It was soo good.  We both got Filet & Chicken with fried rice and veggies.  They give you sooo much food we were stuffed!  Then we walked around Westport a bit while waiting for our comedy club show to start.  We ended up having a drink at The Drunken Fish to kill some time - I got a chocolate martini and Paul got a rum & coke.  Then we saw a show at The Funny Bone which was hilarious!!!  Really funny guys.  We need to go there more often. 



































Sunday afternoon we spent time outside playing in the baby pool.  Christian love love LOVES water!  I swear he is a fish.  =)
