Melena Victoria

Here are some pictures of Melena Victoria Preston and Jade's cousin.

Preston's new haircut

Here are some pictures of Preston's new hair cut that mommy gave him. I have to admit that he looks a little different, however he is still cute. What a stud.

Valicia with Tina and Ramon

Tina, Ramon, and Vanessa are responsible for hosting the Couples shower for Valicia and Carlos. I must say that Becky and I had a blast. It was well worth the drive.

Preston and the fish

Here is Preston with the big catch. He has his signature smile on for everyone to see. Preston caught about 5 fish this day. He had a blast and cannot wait to go back. Preston and his fish were emailed to the local tv station for a fishing picture competition. Check it out at WSLS and look for fishing photos.

Like Mother Like Daughter

Jade and Becky were walking the runway while the guys were fishing.

Fishing with Daddy

Here is Preston showing Daddy how to fish. Preston would like to let Uncle Royce know that if he wants to learn how to fish, Preston would be glad to teach him.

Fishing at Papa's

Here is Preston, Jade, and Becky after feeding all of the fish. You would not believe the size of some of the catfish in that pond. No wonder no one will go swimming in it anymore.

Jade and the Apple

Here is Jade and the Apple.

An Apple

Here is an apple. If you look closely you can see Jade behind it, at least that is what Becky said when she took the photo.

Roanoke Sky Line

Here is a picture of Roanoke from the Star on Mill Mountain. Unfortunately it was a little foggy that day as well as being overcast. But you get the general idea. This is the downtown area. It is hard to take a bad photo from up here.

Preston and Jade in the Tub

Here is a picture of Preston and Jade in the bathtub, they love playing around with whatever they can get their hands on.

Here is Rhett, Mom, Dad, Royce, Becky and Preston on Rasberry Hill in Bellville Ohio. This is the site of the cabin where Milton Shock and Emma Shock raised their 4 children. The Limestone we are standing on is similiar to the Limestone which was used as the foundation for the cabin. My parents have several of the actual stones from the foundation. It was neat getting back to the site after many many years. We also stopped by the Bellville cemetery and took pictures of the tombstones of a lot of our relatives. Ruth Shock was one of the children raised in this cabin and is my Great Grandmother on my moms side.

Here is Grandpa Adams with Preston and Jade at the Railroad Museum in Bellevue Ohio. What a proud Great Grandpa.

Here is Preston and Becky near the site of Royce's cell phone's death earlier in the day. Royce's cell phone came out of his pocket on the Max Air which is a new ride that is awesome. On the next turn of the ride the phone fell out of the seat where he had been sitting and fell about 100 feet to its death. I think a part of Royce died with that phone. It is his lifeline to all of his friends. So Royce will have to reprogram a new phone with his friends numbers in it. That should take about a minute. Royce only has one friend.

Here is the Smith Family Adele, Allen, Logan,. and Kylie on the Log Flume.

Here I am reliving the glory days of climbing the trees in front of the Adams house(my grandparents). Hey what is this black limb up here. ZAP.

Here is the picture with the family and Vanessa this time. Notice the little grave digger (Preston). the Shocks are buried in the first row and the Blooms behind us. Royce never misses an opprotunity to pose even at a cemetery. Who is he trying to impress?

Here is Mom Fleitz and Preston on a nice little walk around the Mill Pond in Bellevue Ohio. We were in town for the Branco Family Reunion. We really had a good time with all of our relatives.

Here is Jade and her proud Papa at the wedding. Jade and Preston made it a couple of minutes before they both passed out on Great Grandma and Great Papa's laps.

Here is a picture of Sean and Gina's bridal party. The wedding was in January, however I didn't have this site up and running back then. So we thought we would add it now. Sean and Gina are leaving in a week or so for Korea where they will be deployed for 2 years. They are both officers in the United States Air Force.

Jade is taking a break after her second birthday party of the day. Preston kept going and going and going.

Here Jade takes a little break on daddy's shoulder.

Here is Preston and Jade playing with some of their friends at a birthday party. Jade can really get around well since she began to walk. It seems as though Preston is growing an inch a week now.

Becky and Jade on the 611

Becky and Jade are just hanging out on the 611. We all really enjoyed the day out, and the kids really love seeing new and exciting stuff.

Preston loves Trains

Here is Preston at the helm of this Diesel Engine. The Transportation Museum is located downtown Roanoke and has several different exhibits and plenty of rolling stock.
