Happy Memorial Day!

Hope you all had a Happy and Safe Memorial Day! John's in charge of the activites at church so we planned our annual ward Memorial Day picnic. It was a great turn out! We had some bbq and lots of other great sides dishes, salads and desserts of course;) It was a little chilly and really windy but it worked! The kids played, picked flowers and were exhausted at the end of the day. We got a great game of softball going, some bocce ball and a ton of other things! It was great having some friends in town that I grew up with. I love when they come and visit!

We all had a great time and it was a nice day after the crazy storm we had last night. A tornado hit down only a few miles away from our house 'scary'. We had some friends who had a lot of damage to their homes also. Thankfully they were all safe. So today we all were thankful for many different reasons.

He's "1"

Parker turned "1" yesterday. He is getting to be such a big boy and man does he have a mind of his own! We celebrated his birthday with our friends Julie and Cameron's little boy Payton. He is 3 weeks older than Parker. They were so cute togther but neither of them were feeling the hats. They sat and ate their cupcakes and had a great time. The kids played with bubbles (Parker just ate them), the sprinkler and water balloons. It was a nice enjoyable day!

Date Night!

On Friday Night John and I actually went out on a daye! Well a double. We go out here and there but we never do anything different but we did this night:) We went out to dinner with Sara and Kevin and then we went Mini Golfing. We had a blast. It was so nice out and there was no kids so it was even better. Kevin of course was always in the rocks or shooting from some place crazy but what can ya say?? John of course won and was proud of his score!

Parker's B-day Party!

We celebated my mom's, brother Donny's, my nephew Cole and Parker's B-day all in one! We had a lot of our family over and had a BBQ, we pulled out the bocce ball and just hung out. The kids had a blast opening their gifts. Bella even got a few so she didn't feel left out! But as you can see Parker was not having anything to do with his cake. He was so over tired he wasn't having it. So hopefully when we have another little get together we can get some other cute pics! But he scored of course. He got tons of new clothes, his new fire truck ride on toy, a basketball hoop, balls, money etc. And he's only 1.

Parker's Almost One!

PArker is almost "1". Where has the time gone? But we are having a early b-day party for hime, Cole, My Mom and Donny. So Kayleigh and I decided to make them both cakes. Cole loves SpOnGE bOb and we thought Parker would like a CaR(from the movie). John even jumped in and helped. We had a lot of fun. PArker was playing in his car while we were cooking away. So I snapped a cute pic. (I'll get more b-day pics tomorrow)

Summer is Finally Here

Today we went as a family to a little home town fair! I love these fairs because they are small and cheap and the KIDS have a BLAST!! Especially playing all of the .50 games. And yes that is a toliet seat that we were throwing bean bags in. Like I said home town fair! But really we love all of our family so much and enjoy all of the great times we have together!

Feeding the Ducks!

We love feeding the Ducks! Not too far from our house is the river, so we will either bike there or walk and feed the ducks and play at the park. The kids love it! We are trying to spend as much time with Wendy and Cole because they will be moving in a few weeks:( Kayleigh rollerbladed along and Camilla and Lincoln came too!(I babysit him) All in all it was a beautiful night!
