Parker's Pictures

Too many cute pictures taken by Emily Brooksby. Parker was a little bit of a pill, but he looked great and so adorable!

So Many Cute Pictures!

Biscuit loves snuggling with Parker!:)
Look at what a great little smiler I have!



I walked into the playroom and found Maggie watching a show in her baby dolls pack "n" play!
Maggie and David really are best friends! Too cute!
Maggie is a huge fan of coloring. A couple days ago I found her little board thing that Dee-dah gave her for Christmas and Maggie was so excited. She carries it around just in case something catches her eye and she needs to put it on paper!:)
A rare picture of my little man and me!
Isn't this the cutest picture of David and Biscuit??

Biscuit and his girlfriend! He LOVES this little puppy of Maggie's.

I can't believe it is almost June! This year is almost half way over and Christmas will be here before I know it! Parker is almost 7 weeks old and summer will be here in a couple of months...funny Utah doesn't think summer should start until the end of June. I am looking forward to our visitors next week! The Torgersons are coming out for Parker's baby blessing! I can't wait!! I have also decided to come to Arkansas in a few weeks! I just can't stand not having Parker meet all the Grandmas!! David insisted that I come out with the kids! I just can't wait! Well little Parker is needing some attention...shocking I know! Until next time!

The Middle Child

Maggie has only been the "middle child" for about a month now and I already feel for her! David has school and soccer and Parker has every other minute in between and then there is Maggie. She has been having a lot more "accidents" these past few weeks and nightmares at night. The poor little girl...:( She is such a sweet helper though! And I keep reminding her that she is the only girl and she is the only little princess. It seems to help her feel better and she is still my number one side kick for shopping! I love having a little girl who can go to as many stores as I can and still want more. Let's just say David is in trouble with a girl like her, who never gets tired of shopping!
We are so lucky to have a sweet little girl like Maggie in our lives, who is always making us beautiful drawings, singing sweet songs and trying to help out with things around the house! Even though she can be hard to handle sometimes, most of the time she is just so sweet and we love having her as our little girl!

David's Soccer

David's team was scoring so many goals that the other team decided they needed to get some goalies! It was pretty funny!

We finally got David signed up for soccer this year. It is just too bad that it has rained for 3 out of the 5 games and most of his practices. April and May in Utah are so dang rainy and sometimes snowy. 5 year old soccer is pretty entertaining. The kids just kind of run on and off the field to take breaks and they don't keep score. David's team, the Paranas, kept scoring so much, that the other team felt they needed to get some goalies to do some defense. It was so funny! I'm glad to have David in some activities. It has been good for him and he is enjoying it!

One Month Old!

Where has the time gone?? I can't believe my little Parker is 4 weeks old today! I had to do 2 pictures of him, because the one of him crying is so Parker. He loves to be heard. He still loves to be held a good percentage of the day, but has come to like the swing and his new (less girly) bouncy seat! :) He loves the car as long as it is moving and tolerates shopping with us most of the time...again as long as we keep him moving. He is up about every 2-3 hours at night still and is still in mommy and daddy's room. I am trying to get the energy to move him to his bed in the playroom, which will temporarily be his room because it is right next to our master bedroom. We will see though. As of right now I still don't mind him being in our room. Parker can not stand having a dirty diaper of any sort still and screams his little heart out until it is taken care of. He is beginning to smile more, when he is awake and as usual smiles a ton, when he is asleep. He loves to sleep on his tummy on my chest and at night sometimes that is the only way I can get him to stay asleep for more than 5 minutes. I love having this sweet little man in our lives and love every minute of him...even the cries. Time is truly going by way too fast and before I know it he won't even be my little baby, so I am trying to enjoy every moment of him at this tiny stage that I can.

David's First Loose Tooth!

David got his first loose tooth about 2 weeks ago. He was so excited!! He kept messing with it all the time and loved to show everyone his first loose tooth! This past Sunday, May 1st, he pulled it out at church and came home soooo excited. We asked him how much the tooth fairy was going to leave him and he said, "One dollar!" We have a lucky tooth fairy that only has to give a dollar to make him happy! Luckily the Tooth Fairy left him $2.00 and a ton of pennies! He was so excited, when he woke up the next morning! I was up with Parker, when I heard a "woo-hoo" and then his door slam and foot steps running above us!! It was 6:45 in the morning! He was so excited to show us all the money the Tooth Fairy left him! It was really cute. I can't believe he is old enough to start losing teeth. Where has the time gone! He is such a great big brother and he can't get enough of his little brother. He is playing soccer, but sadly has only had 1 out of 5 games due to weather. He seems to enjoy it though. He is still a very happy and easy going little man and he is so excited to start kindergarten this year! It will be exciting to have him start school. So many changes this year!!

Yet Another Home Makeover!!

Before

And After!!!!


Our new game table!!

We love to rearrange as you can see! We completely changed the downstairs living room around and we love it!! It is a really long and narrow room and we were about 20 feet away from the t.v. and just never really thought there was another way to go for the room, because of our sectional. But one day we decided to try a new look and we were very happy about it! It kind of made the room into 2 separate living spaces and much more functional! And now we have a t.v. area and a game area.

Our Happy Family!

A beautiful smile!!
Our new family!




I just can never get enough pictures of a new baby! Every day they do something new. Every face they make is adorable and they just are so sweet! As you can see from all of the pictures that I have taken of my little Parker! Even though he loves to cry and let us all know he is here, he is still just so sweet. We finally got a picture of our new little family today before church. I took Parker for the first 20 minutes to take the sacrament and that was all he could handle! He was perfect those 20 minutes though!!
