Yesterday my big boy turned 4! AAHHHH!! I can't believe it! Where have the past 4 years gone? I feel like we just brought him home from the hospital yesterday, now he's getting ready to start preschool! :(
On Wednesday we had a little party for him at daycare. Pinata, pizza, cake and all! Unfortunatly I had to work so i was not able to get any pictures of him and his friends celebrating :(
This is the cake i made him...surrounded by home made donuts for breakfast (i also made these).
When we got home there was a package from is Aunt Ashlee and Uncle Jeff. I walked into the back room to change and when i came back to the kitchen, he had a fork and was stabbing away at the tape. To say he was a little anxious, is a SERIOUS understatement!
Some of the party stuff...
After the daycare party, and after I got off work, we headed over to Chuck e. Cheese for a small birthday bash with a few friends. I was a little nervous to be shut in a room with that many kids and that many loud games, but it was actually much calmer than i had anticipated. AND it was a lot of fun!
Preston, Jackson and Parker were in heaven playing all the games. This was a whole new experience for Preston, so he payed close attention to the other two boys who were pros!
Ethan found a "phone booth" and spent a good 5-10 minutes having a conversation with Mr. Chuck E. Cheese... :)
Preston played a little b-ball, but i think he is still a little too short to be super successful at this game...
Ethan rode the carisal, and waived hello...
There are a few simulated roller coaster rides at C.E.C. When i asked Jackson and Parker what the ride was called, they replied "we don't know but it gives us a good massage!" Ha ha ha! I love what these kids come up with! They had me laughing all night!
Preston enjoyed a little roller coaster riding of his own.
Tickets, tickets, tickets... the key to getting the good toys at the end of the night.
Life on the big screen...
Dinner time: Pizza and soda. YUMMY, what kid doesn't like pizza?? Preston didnt want to finish all his food, so Jackson told him to plug his nose while he chewed and then he wouldn't taste it and would be done before he knew it...then he could have dessert! Jackson then demonstrated with a olive, because he "doesn't like olives". Like i said, these boys kept me cracking up all night.
BBRRRRR this ice is C.O.L.D.!!!
CUPCAKES!!! We mixed it up a little since he had cake at daycare earlier that day. My favorite flavors were the Black Bottom Betty and the Lemon. YUM
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..... make a wish!

Mommy and the birthday boy... What a great birthday! Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us!
Happy Birthday Preston Barrett Walling!! We love you!!
With Price being stationed in San Diego and all but a few family members & friends in other parts of the country, it only made sense to start a blog! Preston and Ethan never seize to amaze me and I love sharing stories with everyone who can't experience the adventure first hand. I hope you enjoy the drama that is The Walling Family!
About Me
- wallingfamily
- Back to the beginning: Price and I met at YHS my freshman (his sophmore) year and dated for the next three years. After Price graduated, he joined the military and was stationed in Beautiful San Diego. Shortly after I graduated, we were married and had our 1st little man on the way: Preston Barrett Walling, born 2/2/07. We bought our 1st home in May 2009 and Little man #2, Ethan Jefferson Walling, followed on 7/29/09. As if life wasn't already crazy enough after that, we welcomed baby boy #3, Maverick Charles Walling on 11/20/2011 and our first girl (and Dog) Lucy in January 2012. We're still in San Diego, living one adventure after another!
