A day at Layman Bros. Cornfield Maze

On Saturday we headed out to Layman Bros. Cornfield Maze in Daleville, Virginia. Preston was very excited to go. The maze was fun, although maybe a little too long for carrying around 2 young children.

Here Preston had fun impersonating a scarecrow.
Preston and Jade had fun feeding the goats.
Daddy had a blast carrying around Jade. Jade just kinda enjoyed all the corn everywhere.
Isn't she photogenic.
Here is Jade with her ear of corn. Jade held on tight to the corn all day. We had to keep her from eating it though.
Where's Preston. Preston had fun trying to hide from Mommy and Daddy.
Jade picked out her pumpkin and carried it all the way to pay for it. Preston could carry his pumpkin far, as he picked out a larger one.

Oktoberfest in Roanoke

The Fleitz Family ventured into Oktoberfest last weekend. We enjoyed bratwurst, sauerkraut, a funnel cake, and German Beer. We listened to some great music, and Preston got his face painted. Preston enjoyed running around with all the other kids, dancing and jumping around. The event was held in Elmwood Park downtown Roanoke.

Here Preston is getting his war paint on. He was Spiderman. There were a lot of spidermen running around. But Preston was the best. He even scaled the First Union Tower. We got a lot of looks from the other parents, but who cares. The don't know what it is like raising Spiderman.

Here are the Women of the Fleitz household. Jade is becoming increasingly higher maintenance. This is not a good thing.

Here is Spiderman having fun with all the girls, and this other boy. Preston told me he could take him though, if he had too.


Here the women are hanging out, while Daddy chased after Spiderman all day.


Here is Spiderman and Mommy. What a picture.

Preston's Birthday today

Today Preston turns three years old. Wow how time flies. Preston has been such a joy for our family. We have enjoyed watching him grow up. Since he is our first born, we learned through him which made raising Jade soooo much easier. I would imagine that is the way it works in most families. Preston loves seeing his relatives and remembers most all of them by name now. We will be in Richmond this weekend for Rhett's 10 year High School Reunion. Although it does not seem like 10 years since he graduated. We hope to bump into a lot of friends from High School, and hopefully we will not be the only ones with children. We are taking Preston and Jade to the football game on Friday night at Midlothian HS. That is the first event for the Reunion. I think that it will be fun, and I am sure that Preston will love watching the game. See you all next week with some pictures.

Valicia and Carlos Gonzalez

I present to you Carlos and Valicia Gonzalez. Their wedding was beautiful. I think that they both had the best night of their lives. We wish them the best.

Here you can see Royce and Cathleen cutting a rug out on the dance floor. You can notice the WHITE MAN in the back, yeah I mean Paul. What a dancer. No not really, I am kidding.
This was the proudest Father of the evening. Mom and Dad Fleitz truly are the best and luckiest Parents in the World.
Here is Preston cruising around after the wedding. He had a blast.
Jade, what can be said. She is just the cutest little girl. Jade is always so happy.

Valicia and Carlos' Rehearsal and Stone Mountain

Here is Rhett and Becky at the Rehearsal Dinner. The dinner was held at Loca Luna's in Atlanta. The restaurant serves Tapas which is basically Spanish appetizers which make a meal when ordered together. We had some great food that evening. As well as several Jager Bomb's.

Here is (R-L) Madhura, Valicia, and Vanessa at the Rehearsal Dinner. Both ladies were bridesmaids in Valicia's Wedding.
Here is Paul and Vanessa. What a cute couple. Paul is a pilot...nothing much else to say. Ha gotcha.

This is Stone Mountain just outside of Atlanta. This thing is amazing. A huge rock just sitting in the middle of the area. When I say rock, I mean rock. It looks like this thing fell out of the sky. I think they filmed the Apollo moon landings on the top of this thing.
Here is Preston and Royce. Preston was checking out a Babe, and of course Royce was looking for a Jet in the sky.
This is the top of Stone Mountain. Notice Preston heading right for the puddle. He thought that was fun.
Here is (R-L) Jade, Paul, Royce, Brad Bloom, Preston, and Bill Pickard. Brad and Bill are Rhett and Royce's Cousins. If you look close you can see the Atlanta skyline in the background. You can pretty much fall right off the side of this rock if you wanted to. Did I mention that it was Guys day out. You can imagine the looks we got from everyone. Five guys who look like they couldn't take care of themselves with two children.
Here is Jade and Paul with the Atlanta skyline in the background.

Preston Won

That is right, Preston won the Carlin Chronicles Annual Fishing Picture Competition. Preston is so proud and cannot wait until he gets to spend the $100 Gift Certificate to Dick's Sporting Goods. He also won a WSLS gift bag. We have not picked up the prizes yet. We will probably pick it up next week. Of course this weekend we will be in Atlanta for Valicia and Carlos' wedding. We look forward to seeing some of you all there.
