Dave and I have been married for 6 years, and have a little girl callie who is now 5 years old. Our little boy Parker was born on Sep. 20. We have a perfect little life and we love everything about it!

The Boys

Today is Parker's first day of wearing real looking big boy clothes. Dave of course had to have him wear his Hawaiian shirt, and then Dave put his on. I thought it was cute. Anyway Parker is nine weeks old now, and weighs 14 pounds. He is a very good baby! Please excuse the pink Binky. ( the orange and blue ones i ordered aren't here yet, and it is his favorite kind)

Mommy got to sleep in again!!

So i slept in again and dave took care of the kids yesterday morning. Here is what my daughter looked like when she got home. Seriously look at her hair.
The sun was in her eyes so she couldn't look up but come on a red shirt that is a size 8, remember she is only 5, and some Capri pants that are size 7, they look like high water pants, and some wonderful pink socks. I love the fact that she doesn't care what she wears, and is so cute that she would pick this outfit out and her dad let her wear it to school. Oh yeah and dave is in the picture to, can you see him.? I have no idea what he was trying to make with his hand. HAHA.

Parkers Room

So again not the best quality video,but you get the idea. People keep asking to see parkers room, so i took a video of it. I am not done, i still have a few things to do, like actually putting trains and pictures up and trying to find a spot for the bigger stuff just hanging around. I hope i finish it soon, i hate an unfinished room. But here ya go for now. Oh and sorry if you can hear a crying baby in the background. Poor thing got so mad i actually put him down for a min. :)

Blowin up the blog world!

YEAH!!!.... ok i know it's not the best picture but it was taken with my phone. Latly parker has been just trying to talk to us and smile all over the place. OF COURSE... he will never do it when i have the camera ready. So today as i was sitting at the computer... blogging, He was laying on my legs and i looked over at him to see the biggest SMILE ever. He kept smiling so i grabbed my phone and just as i was taking the picture he STOPPED. So here is the half smile i got.!
Man can i just say that i am a blogging freak lately, Sorry if they don't interest you, but i love it!

Picture Overload

Ok so this is just a post of pictures, but i will tell ya what they are.
This one is a pic of the older grandchildren.

This is the night of halloween, i am horriable to not get a close up of callie! Parker wasnt dressed up and averie was at one point but not in the picture. Halloween wore her out. and yes the superman is holding a baby hid behind the tutu




Just another one.


This is our family except for mels husband shawn.
From left to right. Dave, ME, Layne (my brother) his wife misty, Crazy uncle Chad ( my brother) then his wife sharla, My mom and dad, then there is Animal ( aunt mel, callie couldnt say that when she was younger so she called her animal) And now bayleigh calls me KIKI. :)





Parker on his blessing day! The funny thing was that he is kind of chunky for being 6 weeks old and his blessing outfit didnt fit. We had to unbutton the top button in back just to get it around his neck and then to be able to button in the bottom. It was great.






Callie and dawson... neither one looked like they wanted to take this picture.

Just hangin

This is our neighbor baby, and baby parker. It is so cute to hear "boo" call parker bye his name, everytime he says it, he says it so sweet and soft. When he calls callie by her name he calls her CaCa, and he yells it, him and callie like to play together most of the time, but when they don't watch out it is no fun!
I think he is thinking, why do you keep taking pictures of me!
Now i think he is thinking... ok mom seriously this pacifier is pink... what are you thinking!!! So i have found a new pacifier i love, it is a gum drop pacifier and it is just like the soothie ones that he loves, except that they are not round. They come in scented smells and everything. Yes i know this one is pink but someone gave me one and i just found it. You can't find these in stores you have to order them online, but they are pretty cheap. I love them, and yes i just ordered some orange and blue ones, don't get me wrong i will give him the pink ones if they are what i can find. Callie never used pacifiers, but parker loves them and most of the time if he is cranky its because he wants one. If you don't give him one when he wants it.... watch out because he will let you know! Man am i gonna be in trouble when he grows up and i have to take it away, what have i done? haha!

A Few Pictures





















Parkers Blessing

So we are back from dallas ( i mean after pulling over to... change a diaper, callies potty break, to feed and burp a baby, oh wait did i mention another potty break, oh yeah lets not forget the changing a really really dirty diaper, and then we had to get gas!) Come on seriously it was only a 3.5-4 hour trip and we did it in almost 6!! :) So anyway we are back and parkers blessing went so good. My whole family was able to be there, and we had our friends jenn and lee come up. The kids were cute and good! My family is so fun, us girls the morning before the blessing left the kids with the daddy's and went and got pedicures ( THANKS MOM!) It was fun. So here are just a few pictures of the day, i will add more halloween and blessing pictures later. (Oh yeah, Thanks misty for taking pictures for us!!)
