Preston's Switzerland Trip

Preston went to Switzerland for work and he had a great time! The meetings with the customer went well and he also had a little time to do some sight seeing too. Here are some of the pictures he took.

He was able to see Bahnhofstasse in Zurich, this is where all the stories are told of the Swiss banks, expensive watches, and chocolate. 

  Here is Preston and two of his coworkers in front of a building for the Union Bank of Switzerland. Lots of money...

Preston got to walk around Zurich and see other sights too. Zurich has a lake right next to it that people love to go and see. 

Here is a pretty Protestant church in the middle of Zurich.

This is a picture of mount Pilatus taken from the city of Stans which is south and east of Zurich.

Preston even got to visit a castle! This is the Lenzberg castle. It dates back to 1036 AD. It has been renovated numerous times and is now owned by the city and is a business and tourist center.

Here is Preston in the gardens of the castle. Very pretty! It was a wonderful trip and lots of fun. Preston brought back some fun things for us from Switzerland, some of which was Swiss chocolate. Through much taste testing I have learned that Swiss chocolate is amazing... yum yum. Thanks for the goodies.

Jordan's 2nd Birthday!



Jordan turned 2 years old on July 29th! We can hardly believe that he is a 2 year old. We had a birthday party for him with his friends. Here is a video of everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to him. He got a little nervous for a second from all of the attention. It was pretty cute to watch. 


We had two of Jordan's favorite treats for his birthday, cupcakes and ice cream. I found some tiny ice cream cones for the kids to have. They were a big hit and the perfect size for 2 year olds. Here is a picture of Jordan licking his ice cream from his tiny cone. Notice he also licked off the frosting from two cupcakes as well... funny boy. 


Here's a glance at the friends that were over for Jordan's birthday. Our place was crammed full of toddlers and their parents. It was a great time. 


So many people were kind enough to give Jordan gifts. I didn't get pictures of all of them. Here is one toy picture of Jordan enjoying playing with is new train set. Thank you to those who came to celebrate Jordan's big day! Happy Birthday Jordan! We feel so blessed to have you as a part of our family.

Phone talk




Here is Jordan having a conversation with his Daddy. This is while we were still in Washington and Preston was back in Arizona. Jordan is such a good talker for his age and what he says in this video is adorable. Enjoy!
