Ok, so I know for all of you that live else where you will probably think (well I know what you'll think) that we are nuts but my KIDS along with myself were ThRilLeD that we were able to go out side for a walk tonight. Aww...it was so nice. It was only 35' outside but let me tell you it felt like heaven compared to the -40 below that we have been having. Bella was so made when we had to come in. She made us do a few more blocks then we had intended. But we all enjoyed it. So we can't wait for our trip out to AZ in a week. Yeah even more warmth and being able to be outside. We can't WaIt!
Parker has been cutting his top two teeth over the last couple of days...it has been hard on us all. He just dosen't want to sleep and eat but they are finally in so that makes 4... so we have a long ways to go but I am hoping he handles each one a little better every time. It would help us all out!
I finally decided that I would go and try the whole getting the pictures taken again. Last time we went it wasn't a good experience and we left with one blah picture of Parker. But none on the two of them or Bella. So threw a fit. So this time with a toy, stickers etc. we got a few keepers. So I was happy.
Parker is offically CrAwLinG! He has really been trying hard at this whole getting around thing and he's fianlly got it! He gets up on all fours and is gone. It's so cute and he is so much happier exploring things on his own. But man they grow up to quickly!
Bella and Emma got to play for a little while yesterday and they made necklaces with hearts and colored some valentines papers. They were so cute. They just sat and laughed, colored and listened to some music. It was really enjoyable. A little later Bella was playing with her blocks and decided to sit in the container and was stuck. She couldn't get out. So instead of helping her right away I had to snap a pic. I had a good laugh with it.
Bella and Parker got invited to a Valentines party and they had a great time. They played games, ate lunch, decorated bags and cookies, passed out v-day crads and BEST of all she got to hang out with a lot of her friends. Thanks for a great party guys!
When Parker is hanging out in his crib he Loves Bella coming and playing with him. He jumps and laughs and they have a blast together. He's just waiting to see who will get him out.
Can you believe how fast time flies?? It's crazy to me. Just celebrated our 1 yr anniversary being in our new home! It has been such a blessing to us and we love it so much, the room, the neighbors, the cozziness etc. We couldn't be happier. Parker will be 3 in May, Alex is now 1 & Bella just turned 5! All are growing fast & doing great! John is back at HCMC and really happy with his move. He's also the ward clerk at church and is always busy with work, sports and church but is enjoying every minute. I am home with the kiddos and keeping busy with playdates, school, cleaning etc. I wouldn't change for the world! We are all doing wonderfully and so happy!
